“@WR4NYGov My estimate of the probability of success at the beginning of both Tesla and SpaceX was less than 10%. The reason people telling me we would probably fail didn’t dissuade me was that I already agreed with them!”

“This is my concern re Tesla voting control. Money doesn’t matter if powerful technology goes awry.”
“@alex_avoigt Great work by the Tesla team”
“@Ziyaggy @Tesla Import duties are super high in South Africa to protect the domestic industry. Doesn’t make sense for Tesla, given that electric cars are not locally made.”
“@Kristennetten Robots will build robots one day. Seems inevitable, whether Tesla does it or not.”
“@WholeMarsBlog No feud or battle at all. The Tesla board is excellent.”
“@heyitsyashu I should note that the Tesla board is great. The reason for no new “compensation plan” is that we are still waiting for a decision in my Delaware compensation case. The trial for that was held in 2022, but a verdict has yet to be made. I put “compensation plan” in quotes,…”
“@heyitsyashu I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but not so much that I can’t be overturned. Unless that is the case, I would prefer to build products outside of Tesla. You don’t seem to understand…”
“@Teslaconomics Tesla is excellent in snow”
“@JonErlichman It was wild when Tesla exceeded the Exxon market cap”
“Credit to the Tesla team”
“@SawyerMerritt Yeah, I was running on very little sleep for several days due to extreme work requirements. Worth noting that Tesla was very close to bankruptcy in 2017.”
“@EvasTeslaSPlaid @Tesla Does kinda have cylon vibes”
“Great work by the Tesla team!”
“@DrKnowItAll16 @Tesla The industry experts said this was impossible”
“@WhatsupFranks … while simultaneously leading Tesla to be the world’s most valuable car company (Model Y is the selling vehicle on Earth) and SpaceX to be the world’s most valuable space company (~80% of all payload to orbit last year). Whatever I’m doing, I should obviously keep doing it!”
“@NicklasNilsso14 Tesla is an AI/robotics company that appears to many to be a car company”
“This is how we create Tesla products https://t.co/DsmisqDGSp”
“@blueskykites @tesla_na @gigafactories @Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @EvaFoxU @shivon @DriveTeslaca @28delayslater @DimaZeniuk @MatthewDR @bevedoni @SirineAti @RenataKonkoly @CzechArtGirl @Kristennetten @JoeTegtmeyer Maybe not exceed, but pretty close”
“Congratulations Tesla team on a great year!!”
“@davewolfusa @Tesla @SpaceX Exactly”
“@chazman @cybertruck Cybertruck is necessarily lowest priority for FSD, as there only a few hundred Cybertruck in the field compared to ~5 million other Teslas”
“@WholeMarsBlog I stand by my prediction that, if Tesla executes extremely well over the next 5 years, that the long term value could exceed Apple and Aramco combined”
“Next week, I will do a company talk for SpaceX, followed later by a company talk for Tesla after the 10K. I will recap the talented team’s amazing accomplishments of 2023 and describe exciting plans for 2024 and beyond! These will be posted publicly to @SpaceX and @Tesla.”
“@NicklasNilsso14 Yay🇸🇪 Sweden 🇸🇪 !! Thanks to the excellent Tesla team in Sweden!”
“@gigafactories Congrats on a great year by all Tesla factories!”
“@WholeMarsBlog It is increasingly clear that all roads lead to AGI. Tesla is building an extremely compute-efficient mini AGI for FSD.”
“@SawyerMerritt He has the wrong frame of reference. Tesla is an AI/robotics company.”
“@all_in_tok Let’s not forget the White House giving Tesla the cold shoulder, excluding us from the EV summit and crediting GM with “leading the electric car revolution” in the same quarter that they delivered 26 electric cars (not a typo) and Tesla delivered 300 thousand.”
“@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Cool”
“@realMeetKevin @Tesla Out of curiosity, I looked at the Google news page. The so-called “news” either misses the point or is flat out wrong. One is left depressed and misled.”
“@SwissTeslaphile @GM @chevrolet @Tesla @teslaeurope @mtbarra Haha awesome”
“@jonnajarian @Tesla Cool”
“@alex_avoigt Imagine if you could see in all directions simultaneously and never get distracted or tired. How much better could you drive? That what Tesla’s Autopilot vision AI is becoming.”
“@farzyness @Univision @Tesla @YouTube Weird”
“@4n4lisis SpaceX and Tesla have noticed a meaningful degradation in the capability of US college graduates over the past several years”
“@netflix Teslas can charge from solar panels even if the world goes fully Mad Max and there is no more gasoline!”
“@mayemusk @Tesla It’s amazing”
“@danawhite @TravisPastrana @Nitrocross_ @Tesla This is cool”
“Rainbow as seen from Tesla Palo Alto https://t.co/OLKzBonYvl”

“@alexisohanian @Tesla Glad you like it ❤️”
“@jimfarley98 @farzyness @Tesla Thanks Jim!”
“Massive congrats to the incredible Tesla team, from design through to manufacturing, for making Cybertruck real! I love you.”
“@NickGibbsIAG @Tesla Cool”
“@WhatsupFranks @Tesla I heard it was good”
“Cybertrucks are on their way to Tesla stores in North America! https://t.co/deuRQr72DI https://www.teslaoracle.com/2023/11/22/tesla-silences-critics-with-cybertrucks-immactulate-build-quality-and-perfect-panel-gaps-delivers-it-to-more-showrooms-before-black-friday/”
“If you want to try a Tesla for a few days, you can rent one @Hertz”
“@engineers_feed @Tesla * some assembly required”
“@stevenmarkryan This does seem like a compelling argument, but must go through a formal Tesla board process and independent valuation”
