ELON: UNSUPERVISED FSD WILL RAPIDLY EXPAND TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY “In a few months, Tesla will release unsupervised full self-driving.  The cars will be driving around by themselves with no people in them.  We'll start that in Austin in June, and then we'll rapidly expand that to the rest of the country.  In fact, anyone who has a Tesla now, if they try self-driving, it should work very well, it should be rare that you need any intervention.  In the future, I think it'll be unusual to see a manually-driven car, it'll be like seeing a horse Tesla's also creating a humanoid robot, Optimus, which I think everyone is going to want because who wouldn't want their own personal R2D2-C3PO robot buddy that will help you do anything you want to do?  I think that's going to be a massive product.  SpaceX is doing rocket launching and Starlink Internet, and hopefully we'll build the technology to make life multiplanetary, to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.” Source: My View with Lara Trump, May 2, 2025

Starbase Vote Rapidly Approaching! On May 3rd, Boca Chica Village in Cameron County, Texas, with a population of fewer than 500, will vote on incorporating as Starbase. This will make Starbase an official city in Texas. If approved, Starbase will also gain authority to close Texas State Highway 4 and Boca Chica Beach, currently managed by the county, easing SpaceX’s operational challenges. Two Texas legislature bills, Senate Bill 2188 and House Bill 4660, support granting the city beach closure rights. No specific vote dates are scheduled for the Bills in the Texas Legislature’s 89th session.

Here's Elon Musk expressing his confidence in a fully and rapidly reusable rocket just after seeing the two boosters of Falcon Heavy land for the first time in 2018. “I didn't really think this would work. Because when I see the rocket lift off, I see a thousand things that could not work, and it's amazing when they do.  Seeing the two boosters land synchronized, really just like the simulation, it makes me think, there really could be quite a scalable approach.  You could imagine large numbers of those just coming in, landing, taking off, landing, doing many flights per day.  So, it gives me a lot of faith for our next architecture, the interplanetary spaceship. We have different names for it, but BFR is the code name, and it gives me confidence that BFR is really quite workable.  I was actually looking at the side boosters and like, they're pretty big, you know, 16 stories tall, 60 foot leg span. But really we need to be way bigger than that.  I have tremendous confidence, obviously, in the SpaceX team. So I think we can really do this a lot and keep advancing the technology to achieve full and rapid reusability, which would have a profound effect on the future.” Falcon Heavy launch press conference, February 6, 2018

@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt). Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale. X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth. xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress. I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Lots of people are saying transmitting electricity is "inefficient." Total transmission and distribution (T&D) losses are less than 5%. The cost of T&D is NOT LOSSES - it’s capacity. We have to pay the same amount to build and maintain that capacity - regardless of how much we use it. Load (demand) side storage can charge when there’s excess T&D capacity, and discharge when it’s constrained. Batteries improve load factor, which means we can transmit more watt hours through each watt of capacity. Batteries are one of our most powerful tools to rapidly increase grid capacity and lower costs.

Man, Starship is a hard, hard, hard project. This is the biggest rocket ever made.  It will have a thrust and mass double that of a Saturn V, which is the largest rocket to reach orbit. And it is intended to be fully and rapidly reusable.” Elon Musk https://t.co/TsudYAAJ9k
