I’m so glad this is being done!
An important next step is making it autonomous.
This is the electric plane Elon dreamed of!
Anders Forslund of Heart Aerospace joins @Jason to show off their electric plane, which used up just $5 worth of power for a full 20-minute trip.
Could this change short-haul flights? What locations would these flights best be used at?

Probably over 30k people working in high-paying jobs at Tesla HQ & manufacturing in Austin by 2028!
Texans love Robotaxi
They are all made in Austin by local people and with parts mostly sourced within the USA
About 16,500 people work for Tesla at Giga Texas and in the Austin area
Thank you Elon Musk ♥️

And we are taking corrective action to ensure this does not happen again
We are sorry for the issues you may have experienced with Grok following an outage at our Memphis compute center this morning. We’d also like to apologize to our impacted compute partners.
All systems have now been restored and are functioning nominally.

I am not exaggerating, there are Unsupervised Cybercabs without steering wheels or pedals all over Austin, TX right now at almost every corner.
It is SO BEAUTIFUL on the road. The glossy gold (first time seeing it) is stunning in the sun. I also LOVE how massive the wheels look.
This is literally the future. I’m in @Robotaxi heaven right now.

Cybercab is basically a super comfortable lounge on wheels with a great TV and epic sound

Cybercabs have no steering wheels or pedals. They are designed and built for maximally efficient autonomous operation.
Driving around Austin, Texas with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old when we spotted a driverless Tesla Cybercab in the wild.
So naturally… we started chasing it.
My kids grabbed the phone and filmed the whole thing.
This is literally their footage.
And then it hit me…
They may be two of the youngest kids in the world to ever see a driverless Cybercab operating on public roads.
Something they would not see today if they were at school today.
I don’t think they fully understand how big this moment is yet.
They just see a cool car driving itself.
But this is the world they’re going to grow up in.
A world where cars drive themselves, Robotaxis pick you up, and transportation looks completely different from what Daddy grew up with.
To me, this feels like the future.
To them, it might just feel normal.
One day they’ll look back at this video and realize they were there when that future was just beginning.

Going to be saying “Hey Grok” in a Robotaxi a lot. This is the norm in any Tesla so really great to see in Cybercabs too

Our society has gaslit its young women about their reality in terrible and destructive ways.
Young women's perceptions about how they are treated (particularly by men) have changed radically over the last 15 years.
In 2011, ~75% of young women believed women are treated w/ respect in America.
By 2024, however, that number had fallen to only 40%.

This is what Tesla’s Robotaxi app looks like when your Cybercab arrives.
The screen glows to match whatever the color the RGB front light bar is on the Cybercab, while an arrow points to where the vehicle is located. You can also flash the lights and honk the horn to identity it.

It is indeed a disgrace. Those publications have an obligation to adhere to the truth and yet have become woke propaganda outlets.
The degeneration of Nature, Science, NEJM, and Scientific American into woke propaganda dispensers (and their refusal to publish normie, centrist, common-sense responses) is a scientific scandal.

The second law of thermodynamics says that the total entropy of a closed system cannot decrease. Entropy is a measure of how many microscopic states are possible in a system.
At first, black holes might seem to have very little entropy because they are described by only a few properties, such as their mass, charge, and angular momentum.
However, in 1972, physicist Jacob Bekenstein proposed that black holes should have entropy.
His argument was based on the second law of thermodynamics. If an object with entropy falls into a black hole, its entropy would no longer be directly accessible outside the black hole. If the black hole had no entropy of its own, this could lead to a decrease in the total entropy of the universe, which would conflict with the second law.
So, how much entropy does a black hole have?
In 1974, Stephen Hawking showed that black holes have a temperature and emit thermal radiation, now called Hawking radiation. This means that black holes have thermodynamic properties.
Using the relationship between energy, temperature, and entropy, physicists found that the entropy of a black hole is proportional to the area of its event horizon.
This result is known as the Bekenstein–Hawking formula:
S = A/4ℓₚ²
where S is the black hole's entropy, A is the area of its event horizon, and ℓₚ is the Planck length.
The important point is that black holes do not violate the second law of thermodynamics. Instead, they can contain an extremely large amount of entropy. For a given region of space, a black hole represents the maximum possible entropy allowed by known physics.
So, although a black hole looks simple from the outside, its entropy can be extremely large.
