Elon,
I’m getting a lot of questions from HW3 Tesla owners about what’s going to happen to them… and honestly, I understand why there’s so many questions.
These are the people who paid the most for FSD early on. They believed in the vision before it was proven, and in many ways, they helped fund and validate the entire FSD program when it was still very early and uncertain.
It would mean a lot to get some clarity for them.
There should be something for HW3 owners who supported FSD at the highest price and stuck with Tesla from the beginning.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Donald Trump forced out a respected U.S. Attorney because they wouldn't go along with Trump’s demands for political prosecutions.
Less than a week later, his inexperienced handpicked successor brings charges against a member of Trump's enemies list.
In my almost six years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I never witnessed such a blatant abuse of the department.
The DOJ is now little more than an arm of the president’s retribution campaign.

I don't ask me for much, but I'd love @danhuot to mark Booster 12's catch with this on the SpaceX commentary 😅

I agree with the statement that begins “Every step that you add in the process…” for vaccine uptake it’s typically essential to make it easy/breezy. From my experience, once you start to make immunizations fussy or complicated, vaccine coverage declines pretty quickly.
For uninsured and underinsured Americans, the Covid vaccine just got significantly more expensive.

A much appreciated official statement:
There is no emergency situation going on aboard the International Space Station. At approximately 5:28 p.m. CDT, audio was aired on the NASA livestream from a simulation audio channel on the ground indicating a crew member was experiencing effects related to decompression sickness (DCS). This audio was inadvertently misrouted from an ongoing simulation where crew members and ground teams train for various scenarios in space and is not related to a real emergency. The International Space Station crew members were in their sleep period at the time. All remain healthy and safe, and tomorrow’s spacewalk will start at 8 a.m. EDT as planned.

Many thanks as always to the team at @NASASpaceflight for the commentary and live views of Dagobah, I mean Starbase, ahead of SpaceX's fourth integrated Starship launch attempt.

So to sum up my commentary on the Starship/Superheavy test launches:
IFT1 - 'Holy Shitballs! It's Moving!'
IFT2 - 'Holy Shitballs! It's staging!'
IFT3 - 'Holy Shitballs! It's burning up!'
IFT4 - 'Holy Shitballs! They landed!'

We wrote in a respectful letter delivered to 1,000 mostly MAGA delegates. "Republicans, Democrats, and Independents fear potential tragedy" this election.
Can you pledge to not engage in political violence or threats?
They booed us.
You can see the letter we delivered:

Microsoft: we got hacked by China and Russia because of our lax security posture and bad software, but we are making security a priority.
Also Microsoft: Windows will now constantly record your screen, including sensitive data and passwords, and just leave it lying around.
