My first show was a frat party at Denison U. I recall to this day how I begged them to let me keep the ticket intact, and they compromised and tore it such that the logo stayed intact. Trey got on roller blades and rode around through the crowd. I was 5’ from Page. @phish

Last night I witnessed the coolest thing ever at the cards game. A small group of guys @SFAClubBsbl took their shirts off and started making noise in the section next to us. By the time the cards won in bottom of 11th, it was 2 full sections going nuts! Crowd psychology FTW!

It’s misleading to include fake AI videos in your posts. It is also impossible to write a @CommunityNotes on a post like this because it REQUIRES a link to be included. Well, there aren’t “links” that confirm a video is fake, so no way to make a note. This is a problem.
CATHIE WOOD CALLS OPTIMUS HUMAN-LEVEL BY 2028 ON 1GW COMPUTE SURGE ARK Invest's 2026 robotics deep dive just laid out a bold timeline: Tesla Optimus reaching human-level task proficiency around 2028, riding a sustained AI compute explosion to 1.08 gigawatts. The scaling curve ties FSD compute ramps to performance jumps, projecting the humanoid cracking everyday complexity to match us mortals. Source: @niccruzpatane, @teslacarsonly

Couple thoughts: • HW3 owners will get taken care of, as promised. They will either 1) get a hardware upgrade or 2) get a smaller model that can work on HW3. If @Tesla can’t do 2, they will do 1. • The car itself will be the subscription in the future. FSD included.
Am I the only one who thinks this is an absolutely terrible idea? -Subscription fatigue is real. -FSD subscriptions can’t be financed. Now you make two monthly payments. -HW3 owners will need to pay out of pocket for the retrofit. -FSD license Transfer will be dead. -Future autonomous vehicles will require ongoing payments regardless of ownership. (i.e. I buy a car without a steering wheel but it won’t work unless I keep paying?!) -Subscriptions are easy to churn for temporary, seasonal, or cyclical time periods. Essentially: “Pay forever or your car shuts off”.

Ok so I made what I thought was the dumbest post ever, just idly pointing out that polymarket is copying posts, and it BLEW UP with 500 likes and near 100 QPs. ALL ANTI-SEMITIC BOTS. @elonmusk this is ridiculous
Replying to @Polymarket
Copy much?

Do you see it? Incredible day outside, but a little too warm for this time of year. Nice day for an outdoor nap though.
