Surfing the 🌊🌊of Disruptions
Body by Ford/Toyota. Engineering by Tesla New video out: piped.video/k77X47h6OVU Ford and Toyota have recently canceled most of their EV plans. While the media sees it as retracting from EVs, in fact they have only canceled older, money-losing designs - while doubling down on TESLA’S unboxed manufacturing breakthrough. But while they share the same technological blueprint, their survival strategies are radically different - One is transforming the mothership; the other is building an ark to let the old ship sink

With both votes set to pass, I truly applaud the entire Tesla community, but most of all Alexandra @TeslaBoomerMama Mertz Without our dedication and commitment the votes wouldn't have gone through And without Alexandra's rallying the troops, highlighting problems with brokerages and helping pave the road for many to (for the first time in their life) vote on a stock, we would have been far behind If you're reading this, thank you. Our work is not done yet, but you deserve a pat on the back And let's all applaud Alexandra. She deserves our thanks👏👏👏👏👏
Both Tesla shareholder resolutions are currently passing by wide margins! ♥️♥️ Thanks for your support!! ♥️♥️

Elon Musk’s Qatar Economic Forum Interview: A Combative Trap? (Opinion) Elon Musk faced an unusually hostile interviewer at the Qatar Economic Forum. The tone was so confrontational that the audience seemed uneasy, vocally supporting Elon whenever he pushed back. Such aggressive interviews are typical for news shows, not economic forums. I assume that Elon was NOT informed of this approach beforehand (@elonmusk, am I right to assume this?) If not, this feels like a deliberate setup—inviting Elon under false pretenses, leaving him blindsided with no escape. If this wasn’t the organizers’ intent, @QatarEconForum should issue a public apology to their guest. Silence would imply they endorsed this entrapping interview style, and they should be held accountable. That's my opinion - what do you think? #QatarEconomicForum #ElonMusk

EXACTLY FOUR YEARS AGO, VW CEO HERBERT DIESS posted a fun video about @elonmusk driving the VW ID.3. He then posted about driving the Model Y himself, saying he was impressed. Diess then got Elon on a video call with VW top management, to discuss the speed in which VW had to start moving. But even the best doctor can't heal those who don't want to be healed. VW board moved Diess aside, replacing him with Oliver Blume, a guy they could trust would move slow enough. The rest is well known. From being the OEM best positioned to survive the shift to EVs, VW became an also-ran, with falling sales, factory closures and little hope. Sad, really.

Billionaire's toy destroyed" Surprisingly, there is praise everywhere. i guess this was too great of an achievement to be painted as a failure, not to mention >3.1m Live viewers on SpaceX' livestream on X, and probably >1m live on other streams As an aerospace engineer whose been in many similar tests, this was extremely uplifting Great job, @SpaceX and @elonmusk.

OMG Working on THE MOST IMPORTANT ROBOTAXI VIDEO around. I don't usually hype my videos or boast - so please understand I am still SHOCKED by what I discovered. Really. ... I tried making a video where I "think different" to find things others did not. I found a few threads and realized it was about to be a good video. But pulling on the threads revealed much more. If you think robotaxis are big, think bigger. Much bigger. I'm calling Tesla's robotaxi project "Project Celeritas" That's the speed of light - the c in Einstein's E=mc^2. Here it stands for ultimate speed and huge growth. I was never more bullish in my life, and trust me - I am still shocked. For a heads up once it's out, Like/Repost/Comment on this post. Trust me - this is the biggest robotaxi video you've seen in a while, and if not - publicly say that I suck. Hint: Tesla are crazy... Not ordinary dudes... Being best is not enough.

🚨 NEW VIDEO: He Warned Them, They Ignored Him. Now They're Finding Out! 🚨 The most expensive software failure in automotive history was a train wreck in slow motion. @Herbert_Diess saw Tesla coming from miles away. He warned VW that their 30-hour production time vs Tesla's 10 hours would be suicide. He even brought @elonmusk himself to address VW's top 200 executives. He pushed for the automation and software-first approach that could have saved them. The result? They fired him, of course! What happened next was predictable and brutal: • €14 billion burned on software that barely worked • 800,000 customer data breach (including politicians and undercover cops) • Thousands of cars sitting in parking lots waiting for manual software updates • €7.5 billion in losses while Tesla dominated and the Chinese arrived • VW eventually invested in @XPengMotors and paid $5.8 billion to @Rivian for software they should have built themselves This isn't just about one CEO or one company. It's about how Western institutions systematically reject the medicine they need most - speed, urgency, and uncomfortable truths. While Diess was getting fired for warning about Tesla, Chinese EV startups were implementing everything he advocated. They're now eating everyone's lunch. The pattern is everywhere: Europe optimizing for consensus while Asia optimizes for speed. The result is predictable. Being right isn't enough, when the system would rather shoot the messenger than hear the message. Dieselgate and Herbert Diess gave VW, Audi and Porsche a chance to lead. Instead, they chose to fail Full story: piped.video/r5qek6iU07Q What do you think - was Diess a visionary or just early? And can Western companies still adapt, or is it too late? #Tesla #VW #Disruption

The @realDonaldTrump Effect on @Tesla Sales I checked Google Trends to see how much the President's support of Tesla changed public interest in Tesla. As expected, following Trump's and @elonmusk 's presentation, searches with the word "Tesla" went through the roof. But maybe they're just checking WTF this company is, or maybe it's the crazies looking for "destroy tesla". So how did Trump buying a Tesla affect buying intent? For that, go to #2 1/..
Number one, it's a great product, as good as it gets—and number two, because @ElonMusk has devoted his energy and his life to doing this and I think he has been treated very unfairly…

HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING! Herbert Diess: "@ElonMusk is an enemy of our society"🙁 I hate seeing someone I respected fall this way for malicious propaganda, but so be it I recently made a video about VW, @Herbert_Diess and CARIAD - Specifically on how Diess warned VW that unless they dramatically change their methods of operation and production, and rapidly move to building rapidly manufactured EVs, they'll face falling sales, forced layoffs and plant closures. He even brought Elon Musk to help deliver the message Instead of taking note, VW shot the messenger: they blamed him for CARIAD's failures (which THEY caused, against his will) and pushed Diess aside. Now they are facing the consequences. (link to vid in sub-post) Having put so much effort into vindicating Diess, it's a bit of a bummer reading this. 1/🧵

"The global auto giant’s latest sales figures reveal the remarkable success of Toyota’s EVs, reshaping industry trends and pointing toward a cooler, cleaner future" HOW CAN THIS BE???? Simple... "In the first half of 2023, Toyota Motor North America sold a total of 270,476 EVs, >>>>>>including hybrids<<<<<<, which makes up 26% of the company’s total sales volume, according to Torque News. Models like the bZ4X, Corolla Cross, Mirai, Sequoia, and Tundra HEV all reported record first-half sales" How low can MSM and corporate green-washing get?

Former Top GK investor - that would be me, as for a short while I held a larger percent of GK ETF than the percent of Tesla which Top Tesla Investor's fund holds 2. Destroying the brand - 3 years ago many of us thought highly of Ross. Very few still do. 3. Plastic Fantastic should stop doing politics and media - Since he started, Fund performance has been far worse than Tesla's - so if Tesla needs its CEO to stop doing other sh*t, the same certainly applies to GK ETF 4.

GORDON JOHNSON REACTON TO Q3 RESULTS: "These TSLA numbers STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN" Never a quitter, @Gordonjohnson19 explains Tesla's home run as fraud: "These TSLA numbers STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN" Then he explains (my reply to him will folllow): "What do I mean? Well, TSLA sold an incremental +18.934K cars in 3Q24, yet their reported 3Q24 EBT increased +$897mn QoQ, with profit in the Energy and Services divisions up just a tad. Stated differently, this works out to incremental EBT on the extra +18.934K cars sold of ~$47K/car, when we KNOW $TSLA's EBT/car, last qtr, was $5.8/car. These numbers make absolutely NO SENSE at all. It seems $TSLA is engaging in a SIGNIFICANT effort to capitalize costs, thus boosting reported margin. And, why does CAPEX continue to run at levels seen when they were building plants when they currently aren't building any new plants? Again, these numbers make NO SENSE. BTW... when you capitalize costs, your margins improve." Tesla's $897m QoQ earnings bump mostly came from reducing costs, not selling more cars, and Gordon claims that the decrease in operating expenses can be explained by the huge jump in CAPEX. Operating costs hit margins and earnings, while capital expenditure does not, so Gordon accuses Tesla for hiding costs as capex, and asks: "why does CAPEX continue to run at levels seen when they were building plants, when they currently aren't building any new plants?" Does he really not know why capex is so high, or is he faking it? Asking because the reason is there in plain sight... Some of it could be starting to build the Cybercab production line, and maybe even Optimus, but since Gordon thinks they are vaporware let's put these aside. The bulk of the capex can be found on nVidia's balance sheet. Gordon still thinks of Tesla as an auto company, but there's no denying that they did buy a huge number of GPUs from nVidia. 'Dem GPUs don't come cheap, and they're all marked as capex. Remove the cost of GPUs installed in this quarter, and capex nosedives back to normal. Besides letting emotions cloud his judgement, @gordonjohnson19 tends to block Tesla fans. Maybe this explains why he never saw these: 😂

Alex gets a taste of his own medicine Before the elections @alex_avoigt consistently told Americans (and specifically @elonmusk) how wrong they are in supporting @realDonaldTrump I gave him a friendly tip (see 2/ subpost) - that although it's 💯 his right to voice his opinion, it's better not to assume he knows better about other countries' politics, than the people living there. The data we get abroad is too filtered to be worth anything. We do get a lot of unfiltered info on X, but the fact remains... what do I really know about making ends meet in Idaho, or how a child's curriculum at school in North Carolina really is? Being removed from everyday life in America, I mostly refrained from voicing my opinions, and amicably suggested to Alex that he tone down. Rather than following my suggestion, Alex unfollowed me and continued to push his views again and again through people's throats. (Phrased it this way bc Alex wasn't merely sharing or debating his views, but telling others how wrong they are) Now the tables have turned and Alex is getting a taste of his own medicine with Elon supporting "the wrong party" in German politics. My question to you @alex_avoigt - how does it feel? (My original tip in subpost, including an interesting @piersmorgan + @jayleno story) 1/

The Amount of Genius in this pic is Staggering! Marie Curie and Einstein Beyond the Headlines and how this relates to Elon In this picture from 1929, two scientific giants, Albert Einstein and Marie Sklodowska Curie, are shown reminiscing by a tranquil lake. This wasn't the first time their ways crossed: Formally, they met during the 1911 and 1927 Solvay Conferences in Brussels, but it's the informal part that's more interesting. In 1906, Curie's husband, Pierre, tragically died in a Parisian carriage accident. Seeking solace, Curie found companionship in Pierre's protégé, Paul Langevin, a physics professor struggling in a troubled marriage. Their relationship exploded into scandal when Langevin's estranged wife orchestrated a break-in at Curie's apartment, stealing their love letters and feeding them to the hungry press. The press loved this which tarnished Curie's reputation and led to public outcry and even threats. Forced into hiding, she found refuge with a friend. Langevin challenged one of the tabloid editors to a duel - which took place but turned symbolic with no shots fired. Einstein, outraged by the public's treatment of Curie, wrote a powerful letter of support. He lauded her intellect, her unwavering honesty, and her remarkable scientific contributions. He encouraged her to rise above the sensationalism and continue her path of brilliance. Before the public storm of 1911, Marie Curie had already carved her name in scientific history. Just eight years prior, in 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel for their groundbreaking research on radioactivity. This achievement marked her as the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, and cemented her status as a leading pioneer in the field. And amidst the tumult, Curie's spirit shone through. In 1911, at the height of the scandal, she received her second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, for her groundbreaking work on radium and polonium. This was a testament to her unwavering commitment to science and her refusal to be defined by the storm surrounding her. Though the scandal cast a long shadow, it could not dim Curie's brilliance. She remains an inspiration to scientists and women everywhere, a testament to the fact that even in the face of adversity, human spirit and scientific advancement can prevail. PS... ELON I find several analogies here to , besides the obvious brilliance. • Then as now, sensationalist press was all too happy to smear famous bright people who immensely contributed to our world. •Like Curie, Elon pushes through with his work. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on. •And like Einstein, few but precious other people sometimes come to Elon's help. They recognize the immense value of his work and encourage him to persevere through the noise. • And we come full circle as 117 years after Pierre Curie's death the problem that took his life still persists and Elon is trying to solve it Without Curie, Einstein and Elon, our world would have been way behind our time. Their brilliance and unwavering perseverance has helped our lives, and I myself not only admire them, but also thank them and feel in their debt.🙏👏🫡😎

AMAZING NEWS FOR GM! WILL MEET 50% EV GOAL 2YR EARLY! I previously doubted GM, until I looked at the data GM only needs to continue with their 2022 goal of making 10,000 Hummer EVs and 1,500 Cadillac LyrIQs, and they'll reach their 50% EVs goal two years early, in 2028! @jpr007

The Plan to Legally Steal X from Elon Unfortunately, a true story In a move that's stirred little public debate, the government has recently passed legislation that could potentially force Elon Musk to relinquish control of X, formerly known as Twitter. In this video, with insights from @JoeRogan and @TulsiGabbard , we'll uncover how a law that appears beneficial on the surface, covertly grants government agencies sweeping powers to stop free speech and selectively limit private ownership of social platforms I checked the wording of the law - and the problem Tulsi pointed out seems very real. Let's discuss this, Poll below 1/

3/ They didn't get why Tesla favored a humanoid form, when purpose-built shapes are better (Yeah, better for one specific task it was purposely designed for)

🐐🐐🐐Two GOATs and a Kid🚀🚀🚀 This picture captures so much. it's TEMPTING to say we see Past (Peter Lynch), Present (Elon) and Future (Little X), but in fact there is FUTURE in all three of them LYNCH famously championed investing in "tenbaggers" - companies with the potential to grow tenfold or more. He believed in understanding businesses from the ground up, connecting with customers and employees, and identifying companies with strong fundamentals and great leadership with a passionate vision Whether knowingly or not, you and I and most retail investors here in the Teslaverse, invest in Tesla by following Lynch's blueprint ELON MUSK 👉creates👈 mutibaggers. Like a poster-boy of Lynch's great leader, he is passionate and isn't afraid to dream big and take huge calculated risks Peter and Elon believe in the American economy, value long-term planning, and share a passion for innovation and disrupting the status quo AD ASTRA ALBERT EINSTEIN passed the love of physics onto his son, Hans Albert Einstein, who became an hydraulics engineer recognized as the world's foremost expert on sediment problems in rivers (more important than it seems!) PETER LYNCH passed the love of investing onto his three children, who became successful investors themselves Hopefully, ELON MUSK's love for engineering and humanity will pass on to Little X and his siblings, so they too can help make our world better In the 33 years since Lynch retired and partly thanks to Elon, the world has vastly changed. I can only imagine the (duoplanetary?) world Little X will play in when he becomes BIG X, two or three decades from now In other words: Ad Astra per Aspera! ✨ @elonmusk
