NEW: Elon Musk gave Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign $500,000.
About 3 months later, Abbott signed off on over $1.6 billion in tax breaks for Musk's chip plant.

I'm definitely not anti-achievement and never criticized real achievements, including by Elon.
I even own two Teslas.
I do expose marketing stunts that, while cool on the surface, are not the achievements they are claimed to be.
Compressed air thrusters might give you acceleration boosts in any direction.
They might even make your car hover for a couple of seconds if you accept replacing the passenger seat by a 400 liter high-pressure air tank.
But they are not a path to actual flying cars.
The same way Burt Rutan's SpaceshipOne was never going to be a path to orbital flights (just bunny hops out of the atmosphere).
I am anti-Musk when it comes to politics. His political actions, the massive dissemination of disinformation through X and other channels, and his support for authoritarian regimes and racist ideas have the effect of weakening democracy and weakening human decency and social progress around the world.

Don’t be perma bull don’t be perma bears. Lots of permas on X. Stay balanced. Been on both sides. It may work for some times but eventually you will learn hard way . Change your views as market conditions change

We priced a bunch of stuff to go up a bunch
Some data points said it went up less than the bunch we were expecting
So we go back to reprice a bunch of stuff
The end.

One of the world's greatest AI scientists exposes the publicity stunt of Elon musk, and the latter loses his temper. Yann"s reply is to Elon's fart (!) is hillarious 😅. @technomagos
Okay, so it's just compressed air.
Easier.
But crappy specific impulse (less than 50 seconds).
Even assuming that 50% of the mass of the car is the compressed air, that gives you less than 10s of useful thrust (with thrust-to-weight ratio larger than 1.0). Probably more like 5 seconds, actually.
So the car must be an empty, lightweight shell containing big compressed air tanks.
Cute demo, but totally impractical.
But of course, you knew that.

This guy’s been a fucking liar and a grifter his entire life, so many fucking idiots just roll with his scams, one day, maybe soon, all of this will unwind violently and leave so many holding the bags…

Tesla Roadster buyers are concerned they may never get the car after reading the fine print on their up to $250k reservation:
"Roadster is still under development and so we cannot guarantee when your vehicle will actually be delivered or if it will be delivered."

At least 47 large [data center] projects have been delayed, withdrawn or blocked in 2026, according to data from RegLayer says the FT.
Bernstein analysts this month estimated only about 35% of the planned US data centre pipeline was credible.

From a high-pressure belly, your fart might propel you upward and forward.
Come to think of it, that's exactly how your car is powered:
A 700 bar, 600 liter, 3 second, noisy fart 😆
[Hopefully without the methane and the smelly compounds]
