@ElonMusk and I own Tesla (along with several other people).

🔊 Elon Musk did a live phone interview earlier today with a guest host of the Sean Hannity radio program, discussing his latest SpaceX timelines. I only caught about the last 5 minutes of it: “The best way to expand compute is really in space. There’s a lot of room in space and if you look at the size of Earth relative to the sun or relative to the solar system, you realize just how tiny Earth is. We’re very, very tiny. We only receive about half a billionth of The Sun’s energy. So if you really think of Earth as being like a tiny dust mote in a vast darkness. So the way to expand compute— without, ya know, using up all the land on Earth— is to do so in space. And then you can do it without using up space for power & water on Earth. You can just do it in space, so… I think we will probably be launching our first AI satellites next year and then we will probably be able to do that, I think, at large scale in about two years. Yeah, well, I’ve always had the philosophy that everyone at the company should receive stock in the company so that they can participate in the upside of the company and it’s great for aligning incentives as well, so as the company prospers, then the people at the company— the employees — also prosper, so that’s just been, ya know, my philosophy from Day 1 is just to make sure everyone gets stock in the company, so there are, I think, several thousand people who’ve been – it’s not just one welder – it’s several thousand people who were, you know, working on the production line and started at the company relatively early… then probably their stock is worth over $1 million at this point “Yeah, so, Mars is much harder to get to than the moon and you can only travel to Mars roughly every two years. So Earth and Mars align such that you can travel to Mars only once every 26 months. So that makes it a lot harder than the moon where you can go to the moon pretty much anytime and it only takes a few days to get to the moon whereas it takes about six months to get to Mars. So that’s why we can do the moon faster than we can do Mars. But I think, probably, if things go well, we can probably send the first people to Mars in about five years, and then rapidly increase the cadence of sending people to Mars thereafter, so every two years we could dramatically increase the number of ships going to Mars and, ya know, hopefully in a 10 or 12 year timeframe we’ve sent thousands of people to Mars.”

Hello, mutual follows! If Nikita has fixed the algo as claimed, you may be seeing one of my videos for the first time in a long time. So... why did I zero the revenue on this FSD forecast chart? 🤔 ... and why do I expect next week's earnings to be the highest in years anyway?

“Initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportionate to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow, but eventually end up being insanely fast.” —Elon Musk

🚨 Tesla surpasses 11B FSD miles tonight, a huge FSD milestone, extending its real-world data dominance powering driverless made-in-Texas Robotaxis: the nation's most cost efficient and first SAE Level 4 system legally certified for paid rides without radar or lidar.

Maybe you missed this excellent $TSLA Cybertruck review. Maybe you only saw a short clip from it. Or maybe you're just opposed to using YouTube. Whatever your reason, if you haven't seen the whole 📐 video, I highly recommend it, if you're interested in learning more about the engineering under the hood. I mean "motorized frunk". 🤓 Link, for those who prefer youtube: Credits: Hagerty owns this video, Jason Cammisa is your host, and racing legend Randy Pobst is a heck of a good sport, as usual, in a Guest starring role. Enjoy!
