“@BlackSocialists What is your utopia?”

“@MobiiliMika The future is a set of branching probability streams. Some actions by humanity have an extremely leveraged effect on shape & size of those streams.”

“@LanceUlanoff @lea_bitterwolf @jlgolson Already did. Meant to go longer, but ran out of time. https://t.co/s8g76wTqLl”

“@lea_bitterwolf @jlgolson I always wanted to do a terms & conditions cover of Green Eggs & Ham”

“@gcortes Foundation Series & Zeroth Law are fundamental to creation of SpaceX”

“@PaulVerstegen1 I love Banks. Best books in recent years imo are Iain Banks & George Martin.”

“@jlgolson Given how bad I am at poetry, probably Vogon”

“Should prob articulate philosophy underlying my actions. It’s pretty simple & mostly influenced by Douglas Adams & Isaac Asimov.”

“@annerajb @FredericLambert My donations are anonymous”

“@FredericLambert Already sold >$100M TSLA for charity. Will do about that every few years. Major disbursements in about 20 years when Tesla is steady state.”

“My “pay” is in options, which only matter if stock goes up & I sell. Will use that to make life multiplanetary, help education & environment on Earth w my foundation. Just don’t want us to be sad about the future. https://t.co/l3YEvjvyuz https://x.com/norbertelekes/status/1007635225675993089”

“@ralphbakshi Dankonia”

“@korihale @Tesla @CultureBanx @Forbes We use less than 3% cobalt in our batteries & will use none in next gen”

“@kwang0429 Yes, interface will change with Version 9 software”

“@ifnd323 Will be adjusting screen alert to clarify that we mean “slight up or downward force on the wheel”, not really “hold the wheel””

“@arctechinc Some very, very tough calls. Had to let go of good people, but I think they will find new jobs quickly.”

“Difficult, but necessary Tesla reorg underway. My email to the company has already leaked to media. Here it is unfiltered: https://t.co/4LToWoxScx”

“@NabilZouhir1 @mayemusk @kimbal That is actual footage”

“@mayemusk @kimbal Back in the Precambrian era when the main form of life was a sponge”

“@joerogan @Off_thewalls @MKBHD Thanks! Have heard universally great things about your podcasts.”

“@garyflickinger @OchamsRazr @VR0NLINE Of course, but it’s the kind of hustle that you like even with full knowledge. People can obv read the Internet & anyone who wants a refund will get one. I predict basically zero. The honest-to-goodness fun value is amazing & we’re never going to make them again.”

“@Erdayastronaut @Lord_Lima_Bean @UHDDreamer @LanceUlanoff Trade is just that Roadster becomes a 2 seater instead of a 2+2. COPV in place of the kid seats, which is prob wise for many reasons”

“@Lord_Lima_Bean @UHDDreamer @LanceUlanoff Exactly. Total energy stored even in ultra compressed air is low vs battery, but power output is insane. The composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) is most advanced ever made. It’s what SpaceX is qualifying for NASA crewed missions. Extremely robust — literally bulletproof.”

“@Caio_1999_ @LanceUlanoff Not recommended for urban environments”

“@ThatGuyKnapp @LanceUlanoff Yes”

“@poriya_ravi @WorldAndScience The actual amount of time I spend on Twitter is tiny. My tweets are literally what I’m thinking at the moment, not carefully crafted corporate bs, which is really just banal propaganda.”

“@oheather1337 @WorldAndScience It is amazingly hard to find a simple solution. A complicated one is relatively easy.”

“@WorldAndScience Love this design. Simpler the better.”

“@DeeLex_MCEM @VHollywood21 Add an R for Roadster 👽💕🚀”

“@raptorweb Sigh. This is crux of matter: can’t make system too annoying or people won’t use it, negatively affecting safety, but also can’t allow people to get too complacent or safety again suffers. Latest update should have a positive effect on latter issue especially.”

“@Off_thewalls @MKBHD @joerogan A lot of people whose judgment I respect have suggested this. Sounds like a good idea. Will do so after Model 3 production reaches 5k/week steady.”

“@VHollywood21 Yes. Hopefully, I’m not tempting fate too much with that date. It was meant as a joke, but is about the right actual timing.”

“@MKBHD Will do”

“@bartjehoel @djenkins6 Correct, pure electric. Wish orbital rockets could be so too, but there’s no escaping Newton’s Third Law. SpaceX is already developing high efficiency CO2 capture with H2O to form liquid CH4 (methane) & O2. Critical for propellant production at Mars Base Alpha.”

“@MKBHD You have my word, Marques. Next gen Roadster will be absolutely out of this world. For those who love to drive, there is no finer car in history and we don’t think there will be another.”

“@LanceUlanoff Note, gas contained would be ultra high pressure air in a SpaceX rocket COPV bottle. The air exiting the thrusters would immediately be replenished whenever vehicle pack power draw allowed operation of the air pump, which is most of the time.”

“@LanceUlanoff Intent of new Tesla Roadster is to beat gas sports cars on every performance metric by far, no exceptions, thus transferring the “halo crown” effect gas cars have as the top speed leaders over to pure electric.”

“@anandrajk @lexiheft @Tesla That issue is better in latest Autopilot software rolling out now & fully fixed in August update as part of our long-awaited Tesla Version 9. To date, Autopilot resources have rightly focused entirely on safety. With V9, we will begin to enable full self-driving features.”

“This is why I’m not impressed when reporters who were literally in junior high while I was in newsrooms all round the world say that if I only knew how newsrooms really worked, then I’d know everything’s fine & no need for a media credibility rating system like Pravduh 🤔”

“Zip2 also built a newspaper publishing platform that brought hundreds of regional & city papers online for the first time, and made major functionality advancements to the NY Times, Boston Globe & Knight-Ridder websites. NYT, KR & Hearst were all major investors in Zip2.”

“@trace_remick @FredericLambert 20 years of intense programming on extremely weak CPUs with nothing for memory & a straw for bandwidth tends to burn itself onto your 🧠 like a branding iron. Can still remember trying to squeeze fractions of a millisecond out of the /?€}%$& fetch_joystick_state function.”

“@FredericLambert In early 90s, I wrote a multitasker for PCs that spoofed the CPU & CD-ROM to act in parallel, so could read video continuously while player sprite moved smoothly. Required C++, assembly & direct flipping of CPU registers. That company’s name was Rocket Science. Fate loves irony.”

“@FredericLambert That’s quite a blast from the past! After my Zip2 experience w patents, I felt that patents (particularly software) inhibited innovation, instead of fostering it. I aspired to file zero patents after that. In 2014, we open-sourced all Tesla patents https://t.co/HPK5R5UMS6 https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you”

“At Zip2, I wrote entire V1 of software for drawing vector maps & calculating point to point directions anywhere in US (first ever company to do so), as well as white pages & business listings w reviews (an early Yelp). Also wrote V1 of classifieds, autotrading & real estate apps.”

“More background: I arrived in North America at 17 w $2000, a backpack & a suitcase full of books. Paid my own way thru college. Dropped out of Stanford Eng/Phys grad school w $110k in college debt. Created Internet startup w bro & Greg Khouri (love bro & loved Greg, may he RIP)”

“@FrankIppolito @boringcompany We don’t think our product will be the cause of any wildfires, but The Boring Company is donating $10k.”

“@djenkins6 Using the config you describe, plus an electric pump to replenish air in COPV, when car power draw drops below max pack power output, makes sense. But we are going to go a lot further.”

“19 years ago, when my 1st company got bought, I had to decide between buying a house in Palo Alto or a McLaren F1 (best car ever imo). Was no contest. I bought F1 & a small condo that was much cheaper than the car. New Tesla Roadster will exceed all gas sports cars in every way…”

“SpaceX option package for new Tesla Roadster will include ~10 small rocket thrusters arranged seamlessly around car. These rocket engines dramatically improve acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering. Maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly …”
