Elon said ideally he’d massively expand Giga Berlin and start cranking out high volume battery cells right there on site. That would include lithium refining in house so everything’s vertically integrated, so Tesla can build the Cybercab, Optimus, and all the new stuff coming down the pipe. Source: Tesla Manufacturing

This is awesome for Europe! Battery cell production right at Giga Berlin this year. And don’t forget Tesla has a lithium refinery running in Texas and the nickel cathode refinery going strong in Austin, so this year is shaping up to be absolutely massive, with five major production lines hitting volume.

ELON MUSK: “I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT… WE’LL WORK HARDER” In 2017, when South Australia was hit with severe blackouts and skyrocketing electricity prices, people were forced to choose between keeping their lights on or putting food on the table When Elon heard about this in an interview, he was moved and acted on it instantly He made a bold promise: to build the world’s largest lithium-ion battery (the Hornsdale Power Reserve) in 100 days, or it would be free He could have stepped back and let Tesla’s management handle the crisis, like most CEOs would. Instead, he took it personally, working days and nights with his team to make it happen In interviews, you could clearly see how genuinely moved he was when he heard about it. This wasn’t just another headline; it was about helping real people, changing lives, and fixing a broken grid His answer was simple: “We’ll work harder.” And he meant it. Tesla finished the job in just 63 days, stabilizing the grid and powering tens of thousands of homes - 37 days before the deadline he had promised Tesla Powerpacks helped stabilize the grid by building the world’s largest lithium‑ion battery at that time and cut cost up to 90%, dramatically improving South Australia’s grid stability People went from fearing blackouts to having reliable electricity backed by clean energy storage This is what sets Elon apart: not just visionary ideas, but the humanity and urgency to solve problems that truly matter, that actually help people, even when nobody’s watching.. Here's the timeline: March 10, 2017: Elon Musk tweets that Tesla can solve South Australia’s energy crisis by installing a 100 MW battery system within 100 days of contract signature, or it’s free July 6, 2017: The South Australian government selects Tesla to build the world’s largest lithium-ion battery September 29, 2017: The grid connection agreement is signed, officially starting the 100‑day countdown November 23, 2017: Tesla announces construction is effectively complete, with regulatory testing beginning immediately December 1, 2017: Official completion and full operation The battery was completed in just 63 days - Musk powered tens of thousands of families with 37 days to spare

Elon Musk: “Hold on to your Tesla stock.” Because what’s coming isn’t just another car update—it’s an entirely new paradigm. From Optimus humanoid robots that could one day take care of your kids, walk your dog, and support elderly parents, to CyberCab scaling into mass production, to the Tesla Semi reshaping logistics—this isn’t one product, it’s a full ecosystem. Tesla is simultaneously building AI-powered humanoid labor, autonomous transport at scale, next-gen energy infrastructure through battery, lithium, and cathode production, and expanding global manufacturing across the US and Europe, with five factories ramping major production lines this year alone. And while most companies are focused on the next quarter, Musk is already talking about factories on the moon within 20 years.

Unreal! Watch Tesla FSD handle this tricky situation in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 Another Tesla stops, puts on hazards, and starts reversing. My Tesla doesn’t just sit there—it recognizes the move, reverses to create space, then smoothly maneuvers around when the coast is clear. 🧠⚡️ The precision and "human-like" decision-making is next level. The Netherlands has been ready and driving since April 10th. Now, it’s time for the rest of Europe to experience this! Hey Europe, are you watching? 👀 Huge thank you to Elon Musk and the Tesla AI team for building the safest, most advanced tech on the road.

Dr. Michael Nehls on Tucker Carlson reveals how the FDA banned lithium as a supplement in 1949 — after doctors deliberately poisoned heart patients with massive doses of lithium chloride. NEHLS: “They said to their patients, ‘Hey, you are not allowed to eat salt anymore… So they gave them instead of sodium chloride they gave them lithium chloride… they took grams of it.’” “At the time it was already published… these amounts of lithium are highly toxic. Highly toxic. They can kill you.” “They published three papers back to back… called it in the Time magazine ‘accidental food poisoning’ — but in the paper when you read them… these were done purposely. These people were given kind of a clinical trial. We wanted to find out how much lithium people can accept. And they monitored how these people died.” “And then they told the FDA… ‘Oh, we wanted to actually shut down the supplementation of lithium as a trace element anyway because we want to develop a drug with it.’ ”7UP was originally “lithiated soda” with exactly 1 mg of lithium per glass.

FSD Supervised in Europe: A new video shot in Dusseldorf during our FSD Supervised drive recently. Here you so clearly see that FSD does not need any lines etc on the street, even when its very unclear where to drive it finds its way so easily. It gives such a safe feeling... You also see how the Tesla two times adjusts completely to pedestrians that are crossing the street. First time after a green light for us, second time also when we get a green light, you see that the last pedestrian is still a bit out on the street (on our left side) and so the Tesla drove away very carefully, moving a bit away to the right. Very impressive part of the drive for us... Tesla Europe & Middle East Tesla_Calle Tesla Owners Silicon Valley Elon Musk Maye Musk Alex Whole Mars Catalog

Elon Musk: "Tesla recruiting does not have anything that says 'requires university' because that's absurd." Instead, Musk says Tesla looks for evidence of exceptional ability. • A college degree is not considered proof of exceptional ability. • Candidates should demonstrate that they've actually done something exceptional. • Musk points to successful people who dropped out of college as examples that a degree isn't required for exceptional achievement. • What matters is ability, results, and evidence of doing something extraordinary. At Tesla, the focus is on what you can do, not simply where you studied.

When Tarun Mehta was building Ather, one company he studied closely was Tesla. He says he spent years reading about the company — from Elon Musk’s writings to Tesla’s early engineering philosophy. The biggest takeaway? If you want to build a real product company, you can’t outsource the core technology. Tesla built its battery, software and vehicle architecture in-house, and Ather chose a similar path — building most of its critical components internally and writing 100% of its software stack. “Once you control the technology stack, you control the experience.” For Ather, Tesla wasn’t something to copy — it was proof that deep engineering can become the moat. #YoungTurksReloaded #AtherEnergy #Tesla #StartupStrategy #EVIndustry

Elon Musk says Tesla swallows 1.5 GB of video into 2 KB of control. "We really are photons in, controls out. That is the vast majority of your life: vision, photons in, and then motor controls out." Musk reduced the human nervous system to a single equation. That theory runs in every Tesla on the road. "Your Tesla is taking in one and a half gigabytes a second of video and outputting two kilobytes a second of control outputs with the video at 36 hertz and the control frequency at 18." A 750,000-to-1 compression ratio. The car decides which photons matter. "You don't care about the details of the leaves on the tree on the side of the road, but you care a lot about the road signs and the traffic lights, the pedestrians, and even whether someone in another car is looking at you or not looking at you." Then Musk extended the equation past Tesla. The same architecture runs Optimus. **Photons in. Controls out.** Different number of degrees of freedom. A car has steering and acceleration. A robot arm has dozens of joints. Same compression. More fingers on the other side. Musk, who built one Tesla AI engine across two products: "AI is mostly compression and correlation of two bitstreams." The implication: a human, a Tesla, and an Optimus all run the same loop. Musk, looking back at the human equation: "This is what happens with humans." If you're new here, GeniusThinking is a gallery for the greatest minds in economics, psychology, and history.
