Yesterday I met the fourth employee at SpaceX. Hans Koenigsmann.

Last night I met an electrical engineer who is working at Tesla. He was effusively positive about his employer.
He laughed about the Cybertruck being able to float. “If

says it on Twitter we gotta build it.”
Tesla AI is very underrated.
Had two AI founders while my car drove us through SF.
If you have a friend with FSD beg them for a ride.
If you think
@elonmusk
has competition you are simply wrong. There is none.
"Zuckerberg is gonna sell shitloads of Quest 3.0's this Christmas because it is $500, not $3,500."
I see this kind of claim all the time. Or a similar one "a Ferrari is better than a Toyota but a Toyota sells many more."

“My new job is to entertain the robots.”
Before any human gets to see this post an AI reads it first and decides which humans should see it.
