Why America Must Automate or Stagnate I spent part of my childhood in China, and later, part of my career working to build factories there. Coming out of this Labor Day weekend, I’ve been reflecting on two things. First: China’s industrialization and market reforms from the…
OpenRouter’s real-world usage is becoming the most important ranking for intelligence
STARSHIP IS BACK ON TRACK — With Flight 10, SpaceX has completed a fully successful Starship V2 mission, with the vehicle’s upper stage making an on-target splashdown in the Indian Ocean! Onward.
Congrats to the @SpaceX team on an absolutely incredible launch and landing! We are one step closer to Mars and beyond!
Celebrating 3 year marriage with @adamraudonis. Stable marriage definitely makes it easier for me to handle unstable startup life much better. Greatest husband indeed. I wouldn’t recommend him to anyone else (😝)
Fun conversation!
Every great engineer is also an artist.
My thoughts on Grok 4 Heavy after 12hrs: Crazy good! “Create an animation of a crowd of people walking to form “Hello world, I am Grok” as camera changes to birds-eye.” And it 1-shotted the *entire* thing. No other model comes close. Watch the full clip.

We took a look at the hourly cost equivalence of a humanoid at different price points vs human labor A humanoid at $50,000 is more economical than even a worker in India at $2/hour Human labor will be mostly unnecessary in the next decade
It is difficult to get robots to be both precise and general. We just released a new technique for precise manipulation that achieves millimeter-level precision while being robust to large visual variations. The key is a careful combination of visuo-tactile learning and RL. 🧵👇
After 7 years of working on Autopilot and Optimus it is super cool to finally see this dream become a reality!

.@friedberg: “I think this humanoid robot opportunity is absolutely mind blowingly ginormous, and I don't think that there's a better company on Earth positioned to execute against this humanoid robotics opportunity than @Tesla.”
Robotics will not just be the biggest industry in history but also the most enriching for humans. The more we automate the more we can pay ourselves, the freer we are to create with agency and not out of obligation.
Over the past 9+ years, I’ve had the immense privilege to work with some of the most brilliant minds in AI & engineering. I’ve built friendships that will last a lifetime. This week, I’ve had to make the most difficult decision of my life and will be moving out of my position.…
Jared Isaacman’s (@rookisaacman) nomination for NASA administrator, already delayed nearly six months, was abruptly canceled last week, reportedly as the side effect of some unrelated internal political power struggle. This is, in my opinion, a massive unforced error. This is a…
