Buy from your rival, you must not. Feed him, it does 🇺🇸
Melt the old. Pour the new. Build for Americans, we must. Hmm. Wise, this is.
Strong hands. Hot steel. Made at home ⭐
Forge the future, we will.

⚠️ Don't buy Grok Bot through the iPhone App Store.
iPhone Ultra: $259.99 a month, and you get Grok Bot only.
Web Ultra: $200 a month, and you get Grok Bot plus Grok, Cursor and X Premium.
I have the web Super plan at $100 a month. It has the same features as the $200 Ultra.
The only difference is how much you can use. Super gives 15 times the usage of the basic plan, and Ultra gives 50 times.
Most people will never need Ultra.
Buy on the web, not in the app and you won’t be a clown 🤡

I hope @elonmusk doesn’t do that. It would likely sit uncomfortably with Tesla’s documented anti-advertising, no-paid-endorsement, full-price-for-everyone posture and with the engineering/science-focused core clientele.
Those owners and fans have long been the ones amplifying the product without traditional marketing. Prioritizing a mass-entertainment creator over that base (or over more technically aligned figures) risks being read as exactly the gimmick Musk has historically rejected.
The practical alternative that preserves the brand stance is the one already used with other celebrities and with MrBeast himself: he buys one (or reserves at the listed deposit) and produces the video on his own.
I already suggested that to him on his original post.
You’re wealthy af, buy one. Here’s the link. Elon doesn’t even have a marketing department because his cars sell themselves

FYI - you should read the fine print.
On average, the leadership and institutional cultures of the major university recipients (and to a meaningful degree Goldman Sachs itself) lean left, with documented patterns of criticism toward Elon Musk on issues like free speech, DEI, and campus politics - while still accepting the funds.
The article is behind a paywall but Grok gave me a rundown. The “charity” goes into The Goldman Sachs Charitable Gift Fund.
Notable recipients of Goldman Sachs Gives (The Goldman Sachs Charitable Gift Fund) include a mix of universities, health organizations, community groups, and other nonprofits.
Because it is a donor-advised fund, grants are recommended by Goldman Sachs partners and former partners, so the list varies year to year. Education (especially scholarships and financial aid) is consistently one of the largest categories.
Recent large recipients (primarily 2024–2025 data)
•Charities Aid Foundation America - roughly $17.8–18.7 million (general support; often the single largest recipient)
•United States Olympic and Paralympic Foundation - about $5.2 million
•Duke University - about $5.2 million (scholarships and financial aid)
•Columbia University - roughly $3.6–4.6 million
•University of Pennsylvania - about $4.1 million
•Brown University - roughly $3.4–3.7 million
•New York University, Princeton University, and Syracuse University - multi-million-dollar grants focused on education and student support
•United Jewish Appeal Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York - around $2.6 million
Other notable recipients (recent years or highlighted programs)
•Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai - multi-million-dollar grants (including disaster relief)
•Massachusetts Institute of Technology - educational programs
•Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
•Yale University and other Ivy League / elite universities (frequent recipients of scholarship support)
•Ubuntu Pathways (South Africa) - multi-year support for education, health, and community programs
•Analyst Impact Fund winners (grants recommended via junior analyst pitches and approved by senior leadership), including:
◦Jacaranda Health (maternal health in Africa) - $250,000
◦Lifelites (assistive technology for children)
◦Conservation X Labs
◦Let’s Get Ready (college access)
Historically, the fund has also directed significant sums to hospitals, medical research organizations, community colleges (e.g., LaGuardia Community College), and a wide array of global nonprofits. In a recent year it made roughly 8,000+ grants totaling around $237 million, with about $95 million focused on need-based scholarships and educational programs.
The overall mix reflects individual partner preferences rather than a single centralized strategy, though the firm encourages giving that supports education, innovation, and underserved communities.

Hear me out…Elon should make a Starlink micro mini hotspot and we can avoid the idiocracy 🤷♀️
It’s time we tell these unsecured public Wi-Fi networks to GFY.
Starlink Micro Mini Hotspot — palm-sized (~15 cm) personal phased-array terminal so you stop relying on captive-portal garbage from airlines, hotels, and airports.
• Antenna: Scaled hybrid analog/digital Ku-band phased array (few hundred elements). Electronic beamforming and steering. Smaller aperture enabled by denser VLEO shells, higher satellite EIRP on V3-class birds, and potential Ka/V-band user capacity.
• SWaP: Target 8–15 W average, ~250–450 g, integrated battery for hours of use + USB-C PD. Built-in Wi-Fi 6E/7 hotspot. IMU/GNSS orientation assist. Clear sky view still required.
• Link: Independent encrypted path to the constellation. No logging into someone else’s network. Performance trades peak speed for portability versus today’s Mini.

Instead of posting lies, get involved in the Tesla community and get a better understanding of what community really is - kindness and generosity still exists among them.
She arrived in style to the @theXtakeover (thanks to @Tryangle and the talents of @diywrapclub who did the custom wrap) where the Barbz and Tesla tech nerds received her with an intense excitement.
Show up sometime instead of lapping up the toxic swill of mainstream media. The event was under $50 to attend and @NICKIMINAJ spoke from her heart 💕 She even gave the Cybertruck a shout out. Here’s some actual footage of the event from the 3rd row inside of some bunk ass reporting agency that has a rotten agenda.
Thank you so much to @NICKIMINAJ for following a nerd like me!!
The merging of the Tesla geeks + your fabulous Barbz = CyberBarbz (the unbreakable ride-or-die future fleet)
Thank you for sharing your experience and insights - you are so lovely and through adversity every step of the way, your grace and beauty keeps you glowing!
God blessed you with a beautiful spirit queen👸🏽The crowd was so hyped to be in your presence💞

Forbes used to be an American business book. Since 2014 the controlling stake has sat with Hong Kong-based Integrated Whale Media, led by Tak Cheung Yam, and Ad Fontes puts that share at 95 percent. His Medal of Honour came from the Hong Kong government in 2008. The brand stayed. The owner did not.
Alan Ohnsman, the Los Angeles senior editor on cleantech, writes the sneer himself. “Elon Musk’s Relentless Trolling Of Democrats Is Tarnishing Tesla.” “Five People Who Could Run Tesla Better Than Elon Musk.” A pay plan he calls “magical thinking.” Climate copy that treats the sitting administration’s energy policy as a carbon push. About six of seven Musk political covers checked are negative. That is not a neutral business take. It is a left-of-center shot at Musk for standing with a Republican president.
Fiona Riley is the new breaking-news fellow, George Washington class of 2026. Her headlines are IPOs, rates, and net worth, including a Fed hike she describes as clashing with the president. Green desk, same tilt.
The office is the office, whether you like the man in it. An American publication can argue policy. A Hong Kong-controlled one leading with contempt for the presidency, and for the industrialist actually building here, is not neutral, and it is not on the side of American progress.
I see you @Forbes and now it’s public on the global town square🔸

Actually, Elon Musk said it first, in a stronger form.
In October 2025 he posted that “AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store.” The following month, at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum and on a podcast, he repeated that AI and robotics would make work optional within 10–20 years (possibly as soon as 10–15), comparable to a hobby, and lead to “universal high income.”
Side note - Forbes is still out here calling it artificial intelligence while the @WhiteHouse has already upgraded the branding to super intelligence - Bezos’s three-day week is just the same old productivity pitch with a fresh coat of executive-order paint 🙄 Clearly he’s already on a three day work week considering that his rockets are in that failure to launch category.

I find Psalm 23 helpful as well.
He stays in the dark with you, and he is still there when the light comes. You don’t have to earn the pasture. Love already made a place to lie down.
Let us leave the dark days behind us and sit in the light among God’s beautiful and gracious flock, Amen 🙏

The history matters but let’s not pretend that what’s going on today is the same as what occurred in the past by the school’s founder.
Around 1905–1910, Carnegie Technical Schools charged about $20 a year (or $5 for some Pittsburgh night students), while common Pittsburgh steelworkers typically earned roughly $500–$750 annually when work was steady, so the fee equaled about 3–5 percent of a millworker’s yearly pay. Carnegie Mellon’s published undergraduate tuition for 2026–27 is $69,702, compared with a 2025 U.S. median household income of $87,460, so one year of sticker tuition equals about 80 percent of the median household’s income. The original fee was a small self-help contribution that a working family could cover from a few weeks’ wages; the modern sticker price is a large share of a full year’s household earnings before any financial aid.
Andrew Carnegie would almost certainly have viewed the gap as a betrayal of the school’s original purpose.

We have amazing engineers here because they actually built up the space program here historically, without the pay to play entities and we value affordable education. For the ones that just want status because of a “connected” society that charges $70k vs $7k for a similar education why do we need this racket?
What kind of ethical lesson is this recruiting signal and access degree teaching the technology majors of the future @GovRonDeSantis
What Griffin is buying is a prestige anchor for Miami’s finance/tech story, plus a national brand that sorts students for employers who still use school name as a filter. That is a market for signaling and networks.
Why should status cost 10x when the local pipeline already launched Apollo and Falcon; the honest answer is: it shouldn’t, unless the student is actually entering the narrow markets where that filter still pays…deceptive game that is teaching the wrong ethical standards.
I’m curious if it’ll be like the Pittsburgh campus.
For a Florida resident, FIU’s ROI is usually better in dollar terms: in-state tuition is about $6,566 versus a likely ~$70,000 CMU-style sticker, Bright Futures can wipe out most public tuition, and you can start now instead of waiting until 2028.
CMU Miami will almost certainly win on prestige and elite STEM pay - CMU computer science and engineering graduates routinely land far higher compensation than FIU’s typical graduate - so the private campus can still pay off if you get in, finish, and enter those fields. For most students who are not heading into top-tier CS, quant, or similar roles, FIU plus low debt is the more honest financial bet
The school's tuition and fees in PA are $70,816. Forty percent of first-year students receive need-based financial aid, and the average net price for federal loan recipients is $34,550.
The acceptance rate is only 11%.
TELL ME WHY THIS IS SO.
Why are these universities allow to operate in such a way that their over priced degree program wins the a higher paying job?
The elite cycle will continue if Florida government allows them to operate as they always have. I’d hope either @GovRonDeSantis or Florida’s next governor will root out this type of thing.

I think when he says he’s cautiously optimistic about something it’s because it already exists just not publicly available. I could be wrong but you know he has a team of great minds doing extraordinary things that produces much more than a chatbot shop…rockets, automobiles, chips, major manufacturing - what makes Anthropic and OpenAI “special”?
The sharpest irony: Anthropic is training and serving Fable-class models on SpaceX infrastructure. The Colossus 1 deal in SpaceX’s S-1 is $1.25 billion per month through May 2029 (~$40B if it runs full term). Google has a separate ~$920M/month deal. SpaceX is both a competitor and a landlord 🤣
Rockets, cars, chips, and factories do not automatically produce a better base model however they can produce better data, faster hardware standup, and cheaper inference - with an active technically inclined user base that help enrich it on a daily basis.
- July 8 he said they were “closing the loop on solving real-world engineering problems at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and Boring Company.”
- July 21: Elon said SpaceX’s “massive corpus of world-class engineering data (excluding material blocked by ITAR) will be added during supplemental training of the 2T run.”
- August 12: Grok 4.7’s initial training was done and they were “adding a massive amount of SpaceX company data in supplemental training.”
Grok’s documented edge is speed, cost, and some real software-engineering/agent workflows - things that the corporate world, small businesses and households find useful.
Government is a SpaceX door, not a Grok monopoly but consider this: Starshield put Grok on GenAI.mil.
OpenAI still shows up in more civilian federal inventories.
Anthropic lost access after refusing DoD terms.
Different scoreboard than “who has the smartest model.”

Can the @Tesla community please let @elonmusk know that we could really use some @starlink minis because they have batteries, 90% of the island is without power and the gas pumps won't run without power so generators won't even work pretty soon so the Mini would be much better than the plug-in ! There are 60,000 residents so even if we got half that many people could share ! Mahalo n Aloha

Glad to see my governor can see through the narrative that mainstream media has built to create negativity towards @Tesla and @elonmusk - smart government officials would understand that having Tesla FSD on roadways would inevitably make for safer roads…it would save money for municipalities and saves insurance companies money in the long run - they won’t have to put emergency crews on highways cleaning up car accidents as much, it saves on injuries and it’s far more economical for our nation…now if only they would incentivize this safety by giving a meaningful FSD tax credit for citizens-that would make a big difference! Imagine how much a $1200 tax credit (per year) could save while creating safer roads. It can be justified in Florida since I-4 is the most dangerous highway in the country thanks to our tourism - this could give every Floridan an option for a safety upgrade.
