I had a chance to tune into the livestream with @herbertong @TeslaBoomerMama and @thejefflutz briefly last night I just want to make it abundantly clear given the chatter as of late, I have nothing but love and respect for these guys (and many others like @wholemars, @CernBasher) I can strongly disagree on certain topics and passionately share my viewpoints while still wanting nothing but the best for them and rooting for great things for them The Tesla community is so much better off having them in it and while I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to listen to them more often, the value they've added to the space over the years has been immense So while we all navigate these uncertain times coming at everything with very different objectives/viewpoints, I need it to be said these are my people. Disagreeing on a few things here and there (no matter how heated it gets) will never change that. We all want the same thing - to see Tesla and SpaceXAI do incredible things And let this be a reminder - you can disagree with someone and still genuinely support them. We need more of this $TSLA $SPCX

For the people who suddenly learned about data centers in the last two weeks and have made it your mission to stop their development while still knowing basically nothing: Congrats on falling for Chinese propaganda

@minchoi Our 2T model, which is better than our 1.5T in every way, will finish initial training next week. It might be able to exceed Kimi, but with speed and token efficiency close to our 1.5T (aka Grok 4.5).

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1# on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

Do legacy media outlets typically use headlines involving the make of a car in a crash or is that only for Tesla? It would be one thing if the self-driving malfunctioned but the crash was purely human-induced. Seems like these outlets want to associate Tesla with crashes as part of a narrative and overall political agenda.

Prime US farmland - 876M acres Projected data center footprint in '28 - 896k acres That's .1% of prime farmland used for data centers Not all new data centers are going on prime farmland, but even if they did, the impact would be negligible Data centers also generate far higher tax revenue and economic output per acre than most crop farming Next stupid question?

I want to ask the students screaming “Death to America”, do you have any idea what happens when American values die? Because I do. My family fled Iran, a country where freedom died. You don’t know what you have until it’s gone. You think America is oppressive because you have never experienced real oppression. You think silence is violence because you’ve never been silenced. You think words are dangerous because you have never watched a government drag someone away for speaking them. You think capitalism is evil because you have never stood in a bread line. You think borders are immoral because you have never had to flee across one. You think revolution is romantic because you have never had a revolution take everything from you. I have. And that’s why I refuse to be quiet.

Our administration owes a debt of gratitude to Nick Shirley for exposing one of the most egregious cases of fraud this country has ever seen. If the media was worth their salt, they would take notes from Nick and other citizen journalists who care about investigating stories that affect the American people instead of trying to silence them.

The fastest way to improve your entire life is to sign up for a physical side quest. A race. A competition. Whatever. Your day becomes more structured with the training. You sleep deeper because you're tired. You eat cleaner. You look better. Everything falls into alignment.

Certainly won't be the last but each move like this makes SpaceXAI even more valuable when they start deploying them in space The general population is also being bombarded with anti-AI propaganda and it needs to be countered sooner rather than later $SPCX
