‘You’ll thank me later’ Translation: ‘AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Cricket Wireless (honorable mention), are all dead now. Connect to the internet & your loved ones from anywhere on earth including the top of the Himalayas starting soon’ Extremely well done & super exciting.

I’ll never forget moving to Silicon Valley and going ‘Wait, Silicon Valley is just San Jose, Cupertino and a couple more shitty little strip malls’ It’s an international psy-op

Apple, I gotta be honest with you. I respect how difficult it is to ship products & I genuinely don’t mean to put too much negativity out into the world… But you need to revert the changes to the ‘Photo’ app… > Difficult & unintuitive to navigate > No way to distinguish the differences in entry points and sections > Dumping WAY TO MUCH info into one page. Etc. It is the worst UI I have ever seen.

Apples losing it

I experience 5-10 software bugs a day on my apple products now. I know some of you don't see it, but the empire is falling.

Someone calls me ‘chief’ — I instantly wonder how I can serve them… Someone calls me ‘buddy,’ I instantly think of 3 or 4 ways to ruin their life

Guys… I think I solved homelessness

Anyone else drive around -> look at all the houses, cars and kids and just wonder how everyone affords all this shit?

I’m Returning My Apple Vision Pro— and Here’s Why 👇🏼 - I’m broke

Neuralink is the new apple I guess. beautiful design.

1) Ye drops album 2) Try listening to album & click on some unused link 3) Learn link is 500 dollars because people are unfamiliar with how sub domains work. 4) buy and redirect to ur website get 100K in traffic in hours (ideal) 5) Ye fans harass you on internet (less ideal)

My car got towed & I look up and see this shit… fuck SF

If your life cost more than a few grand a month, you’re building a prison you may live in for the rest of your life

If you call me ‘buddy’ — I’m calling your wife ‘babe’ next time I see her. Only person that gets to call me buddy is my older brother— just like only person calling your wife babe should be you.

“Sir… I pulled you over cuz this car is super fucking sick and I really wanted to see inside of it” -12

"it's a human in a suit" can't think of a better compliment

Cybertruck audio by itself is enough reason to buy this truck This was massively overlooked by reviewers like @MKBHD Having spent countless hours in concert venues & studios w/ audio engineers… I can say w/ confidence “Recording Studio Sound Dynamics” is no stretch of the truth— there is no vehicle on the road w/ sound like this Listening to Retrograde by James Blake in a 📐 was nothing short of legendary So so blown away by our audio engineering team

Humanoids just went mainstream

I asked a new hire ‘where you from?’ And he said Apple…

Theo was so worried Sama caught on to what he was saying 😂

Speed pulled into our parking lot at 1 AM and there was a mob of stoked kids racing after his bus … tbh I didn’t even know kids smiled in Palo Alto By 3 AM 100+ were huddled around my studio @ 1X waiting for him That’s culture Grateful to Speed & team. Kind ppl. Tons of fun

Exactly a year ago I pulled up on a group of guys living in a garage that quit their jobs or dropped out of school telling me— “we’re going to build a plane & fly it lower than any plane ever built” 1 year ago that plane was made of some 3D printed parts, some glue and a couple of Zynn’s… and if I’m being honest— I thought they were scammers. Today— that plane is the Poseidon Seagull. This Bay really is magical. Congrats boys.

NEO will give me back every minute of time i spent in my 20s bringing him to life.

History will be written today 📐 authored by Tesla

Its not personal… its really this guy I’m coming for

Na just the design stinks

Slack & Notion are a waste of time. Run your company on iMessage— be a man

I’m leaving Tesla… I’m feeling a lot today, but mostly just gratitude First and foremost, thank you @J0se for taking a chance on a kid like me Second, thank you to this community. It’s the support and optimism that you selflessly pour out for us that keeps every person here motivated through the shitty press and noisy world. Community like this is in short supply and your kindness has filled my heart with love every day I’ve spent working on this mission Last and certainly not least— thank you to the Tesla team. It’s you all that changed the world forever… and will go on to change it again As for me… gonna keep rippin it. More to come These memories will be cherished forever @radbackwards OUT 🫶🏻🫡

I joined 1X because Bernt & Eric asked me if I could help them make NEO into something simple enough for anyone on earth to use and give it to the world. It felt like having a couple strangers come up to me and offer me a chance to change the world (well it was). I've never taken an assignment more serious (apologies to all my teachers for fucking up all of theirs). 🧵

I hate the concept of concept cars. Just ship the product.

I was 18 when I dropped out and talked myself into an internship at Tesla to increase commercial solar efficiency. I knew nothing about energy or solar… I was just starting as an Econ major & was at best mathematically challenged. I went to the duderstadt library at Michigan and asked the guy at the counter ‘can I have any book you think can help me solve for increasing efficiency of solar panels— I know nothing and need to know everything in a week’ W/ the help of a few great engineers, we increased the total efficiency of the fleet by a number that I can’t share but was completely bitchin’… and tbh the books had nothing on just doing the work and putting in 100 hrs a week. Not telling this story to stroke myself publicly but to remind the kids that things can just be done. Just do it, if you will…

My liberal arts view (I'm not an engineer) on all the fuss about Tesla using tele-op and audio pass thru: For starters, what they did was revolutionary. Having that number of Bipedal Humanoids operating in parallel with ONE mistake is insane. Especially the walking sequence... holy fuck. anyone in humanoid space will tell you-- that was incredible. On Tele-Op: My general take is people are so caught up in "is this autonomy or not" that they are missing history happen in front of their eyes... I will also say that no one on earth right now has a data set diverse and large enough to execute what they did at that event fully autonomous... Which is okay, because it is through tele-operating such a wide variety of interactions of the such that will get the world to a place that robot brains are capable of doing it all by themselves. There is a really really bad misconception amongst humanoid fans and followers that everything can be autonomous no problem because teams like Tesla, 1X, Figure etc. etc. have dropped good autonomy demos. But the truth is that these demos required an ass load of tele-op data to bring a very limited set of actions to life. and unless there is some miracle AI breakthrough, Tele-oping at scale will remain a crucial part of teaching our robots to fly-- I would encourage all humanoid robot fans to change their perspective from "OMG THERES A HUMAN THIS IS SO DUMB" to "Look at that human teach that robot everything he knows so one day it can operate all on it's own" On voice pass thru: Realtime voice conversation with AI is solved-- get your panties out of a bunch. Elon and team could have easily done that with voice if they really wanted to but LLM convo's wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun as having those guys do pass thru and teleop-- those videos were so fun and enjoyable to watch. Stop being an asshole. To wrap this up-- if you want to see humanoids come into the world, get smart about just how that is going to happen and instead of dogging on every team that goes out and sets forth beautiful demonstrations/narratives for the future, fan the flame of physical intelligence being conjured from sand. Every hit piece headline about "Tesla's robots aren't even autonomous" is a net-negative for what we are trying to accomplish here-- we can change the narrative, especially here on X. Regards, Me

People that didn’t grow up in the Northwest have no idea how shitty they had it growing up. I used to drive 20 mins in any direction and find a different version of heaven on earth.

Need designers. DM me & don’t ask me if it’s remote.

So… do the kids have to go to school tomorrow?? Or is it like a day off now?

Respectable how quickly he flamed himself for this one

Living with NEO and seeing him quickly learn to do the shit I hate doing autonomously is the closest thing to magic I’ve ever experienced. I can’t wait until we can share this with you…

Neuralink beta is actually pretty good. Thanks Elon 🫶🏻

Humanoids will be in our homes sooner than you could ever imagine… It’s important that we take the time to consider how they should fit into our lives.... We poured our hearts and soul into this. Thank you to everyone who supports us. This is just the begging.

The kids in the streets of NY are talking about getting a NEO, MKBHD is hatin’, Yacine is soy facing… the world is changing

The All In podcast being swiftly replaced by @tbpn is a great example of why being out of touch will always fail in one way or another. Stay engaged my friends. Money can buy a shitty wine cellar and a hot wife, but it cannot buy the human experience.

27 today… Sharing because I found some clarity this past year. I achieved so many of my dreams at 26. I worked harder than I ever (and the jobs not done). I went to so many beautiful places and met so many brilliant people… But Amidst all of this one thing became abundantly clear: ‘Love is the only form of happiness.’ 3 types of experiences really hammered this in for me: Losing Track: I let my selfish need to become the person I’ve always assumed myself to be get in the way of the most important people in my life. It made me come to terms with the truth that no matter who I become if I don’t have their love (And them mine)— absolutely nothing of my selfish pursuits matter. Achieving Goals: Achieving goals brought momentary joy— but the high ended and the low followed but interestingly after the low I was still happy… and I realized that chasing dreams with people I love, doing work I love… that made me feel like I could live forever. The momentary achievements were just fun stories. Other People: I feel awful using other people pain as a tool for my own journey… But this year I met some of the biggest celebrities on earth, billionaires, AI researchers that have more money than Julius Caesar, investor that move capital like el chapo moves weight… and In most cases the money and achievement came as the fruits of trading away every bit of love they had in life… but there were a few that were happy beyond measure and it was always the ones that held their families close, had friends they could laugh with and could still dance when the music started. … I still don’t know everything about love… but I do feel it’s the only thing in the world I’m truly interested in. Family & friends is the right place to start. Finding work you love with people you love is definitely important… Will learn more and report back.

Leaving 1X to go work @cluely I just feel so inspired by their mission…

You can sell $2 of wood for $200 if you call it a cutting board

I wish more entrepreneurs had rapper/rockstars habits… If they blew their generational wealth on VVS diamonds and b****tches it would at least be entertaining… Instead they just get ugly prefab ‘modern’ houses, poorly designed super cars and Palos Altos/Los Altos cost of living to bring down their kingdoms… Lame

What type-uh horny shit is this @elonmusk ?? 😂

I am tired of earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

I wish there was more beautiful ppl around Palo Alto… I got love for the uglies, but they just don’t hit the same

Palo Alto needs a little more crime. These kids need some damn adversity.

need a cracked front end dev on my team at Tesla-- no remote. dm me.

10/28 What's coming next is really exciting & it's not just a new design. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported our team as we work on bringing a generational product into the world. It's not easy. But it's worth it.

Always been my favorite color.

In latest dar news… I’ve joined 1X as VP of Growth to bring NEO, our latest humanoid robot, into your home. After meeting @ericjang11, @BerntBornich and the @1x_tech team, I realized something I thought to be years away was right in front of me… and I can’t wait to share more with you. I genuinely believe whatever is next for us (humans) lies on the other end of these daily monotonous tasks. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this mission to buy back time. You have no idea how much grass we’re gonna be able to touch… stay tuned. . [Video of DAR and EVE, our previous generation robots | Captured by @indstryoutsider]

Didn’t know G1 rocked like that… 😬

There really is just a small group of individuals pushing tech culture forward. Always been impressed with how authentically Anant captures them… and how he happens to be friends with all of them. If I was Netflix, I would either buy his footage before it’s too late or put a hit on him and take the camera from the crime scene.

Something I was reminded of last night when I saw Elon’s slides about transforming parking lots to parks was how deeply important it is for our inventors and leaders to offer up competing visions of the future that are equal parts exciting and beautiful. It use to be common place in America for the big thinkers of the time to offer up a better world and to start building it— in 1966 Walt Disney famously introduced EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow), which was his vision for a utopian city. Disney aimed to create a community where innovation, technology, and urban planning merged to improve the quality of life for its residents immeasurably… unfortunately it just ended up being pivoted into a theme park (now Disney World). And during this same era: Frank Lloyd Wright offered up “Broadacre city” in the 30s— a decentralized rural-inspired urban landscape where each family had 1 acres to themselves (this evolved into the Chicago suburbs which inspired many other burbs— decent outcome… cool ass idea tho) Buckminster Fuller offered the Dymaxion (dynamic, maximum, tension) lifestyle which gained popularity in the 50s— where living space and transportation would be extremely resource efficient and have entirely dynamic environments (the dymaxion house literally vacuumed itself). I applaud Elon for bringing back a culture of defining where we are headed… We are in desperate need of bringing a culture of ‘tomorrow’ back to inspire hope and keep the kids stoked. But what we had then that we don’t have now is COMPETING visions… We pretty much just have Elon. Which is great when you see the parking lots turn into parks and you go “fuck ya, he nailed that” but not so great when you don’t really want to go back to art deco and would prefer a more organic solar punk design for the vehicles of the future (including an autonomous van concept for Mercedes designed by a friend of mine below) and less cyberpunk. We NEED more people to be like Elon and be crazy enough to offer up a new future. Then we can take our bets by supporting their businesses and buying their products and land on the best future possible… If more people don’t dare to do so, we will almost certainly live in cyber punk, Tron legacy, great gatsby world (which tbh won’t be the worst thing but still) More Elon’s, less SaaS-holes! With all that said, the future is looking really bright today. Great job Tesla!

Is it normal to find an album or song you like and listen to it roughly 1000 times in a week until you can’t listen to it anymore? I always thought this was what everyone did but I’m growing worried I have some sort of ‘sonic autism’

And btw— Stop asking me what agency we used for NEO Gamma. The head/suit design, renders, website, video, assets, EVERYTHING made in house with a couple of friends. Even the actors are 1X family 1X is going to change the world, I promise.

Hey @united someone should really review this “relaxation” loop…

Corruption is a drag Elon Musk is donating his life to extend our stay in this galaxy We should bet on that, not pee on it

Who has a house like this in the Bay? I would like to spend some time together... preferably in your house

Tomorrow. 7 AM. Culture Shifts.

tomorrow will be beautiful. you have my word.

What did I just say…

I love the way NEO looks at me when he walks up stairs

ADHD is fake, you just don’t like how slow everyone else moves.
