TSLA SHAREHOLDERS ARE # 14!!!
We did it!!! Great work everyone!!
The Tesla Retail letter in support of a $TSLA/$SPCX merger now represents over $10.2 BILLION dollars in Tesla shares - to put it into context, that is more shares than Baron Capital, Citigroup and ARK Invest COMBINED.
Kalshi betters may want to revisit the merger odds.
The Numbers - in just 2+ Days:
♦️ 25,710,618 shares
♦️ $10.2 billion in Tesla stock
♦️ 9,697 signers
Tesla and SpaceX don't just share a CEO; they share shareholders. 76% of signers (7,406) own both TSLA and SPCX, holding 19,774,447 shares.
The closest thing to this historic mobilization was ALSO Tesla retail: our 2024 letter (representing $4B of TSLA) supporting Elon Musk's incentive package & move out of Delaware. Neither would have been possible without the stellar skills of @TeslaBoomerMama.
Thousands of shareholders think Tesla and SpaceX are stronger together, and they back Tesla, the Special Committee, and Elon Musk.

I believe that this is complex for some people, but Hitlers "National Socialism" is a subcategory of (right wing) fascism.
Also, what Amercans call socialism is more properly labeled (historically speaking) "social democracy". Scandinavia, Germany and my country are examples.

Calling on the Tesla Board & Special Committee to pursue a merger with SpaceX.
The shareholder letter is live. Read it and sign if you agree. Share it with friends & family.
Thank you to @Amy787 for drafting this so well.

I trust Tesla FSD with my life. Genuinely. People will say that’s stupid but I don’t care. It’s true. I do. I genuinely don’t feel like I need to pay attention ever.
And this is why I stay invested. Because as much as I get annoyed, I cannot deny what I’ve written. It’s the genuine truth.
The tech shipping today in Tesla cars will save many lives, and in a few months this version will be shitty compared to what comes next.
So that is why I deal with all the craziness. Because the people making this are doing something that many generations of humans never get to do. Their impact on humanity will be felt for many generations after they are gone.
It’s very serious work and more significant than most things happening today.
The stakes are way higher than anything else Silicon Valley is doing. I love Grok Bot and think it will change things too, but the stakes aren’t as high.
The Tesla AI team is etched in history already

Panic-selling $TSLA to panic-buy $SPCX?
You're handing away the one thing that actually matters in this merger - your vote.
TSLA holders vote the deal. We're the gate - no 'Yes' from us, no merger. That's real leverage on the ratio.
SPCX holders don't get that vote. They don't need one. Elon controls the SpaceX side outright - he says yes and it's done.
Every share you sell is a vote you give up on the exact number that decides what TSLA holders get.
And who's buying those shares?
Institutions - quietly loading up because whoever holds the shares controls the vote that sets the ratio. You're selling them your leverage at a discount.
Then when the deal clears and TSLA gets marked up to a fair ratio?
That premium lands in their pockets, not yours. You handed them the shares and the vote and let them collect the payoff you were in position to vote for.

Lettre ouverte aux responsables politiques français
Mesdames, Messieurs les élus, les ministres, les préfets et tous ceux qui exercent une parcelle de pouvoir,
Vous venez, en droit et en fait, de rompre littéralement le pacte social.
Le 22 octobre 2026, le préfet de police de Paris a adressé un courrier aux commerçants de la capitale. Il leur recommande de renforcer eux-mêmes leur sécurité en faisant appel à des agents de sécurité privée, d’adapter leurs horaires, d’avancer la fermeture, voire de ne pas ouvrir du tout pendant les prochaines manifestations et la soirée qui suit. Il leur indique que le dispositif de maintien de l’ordre renforcé « ne peut toutefois garantir à lui seul la protection de chaque établissement ». En cas de troubles : rester à l’intérieur, ne pas s’interposer, composer le 17.
Ce texte n’est pas une simple recommandation de bon sens. C’est un aveu officiel.
L’article L111-1 du Code de la sécurité intérieure dispose pourtant sans ambiguïté :
« La sécurité est un droit fondamental et l’une des conditions de l’exercice des libertés individuelles et collectives. L’État a le devoir d’assurer la sécurité en veillant, sur l’ensemble du territoire de la République, à la défense des institutions et des intérêts nationaux, au respect des lois, au maintien de la paix et de l’ordre publics, à la protection des personnes et des biens. »
Ce devoir n’est pas facultatif. Il constitue la contrepartie fondamentale du monopole de la violence légitime et de l’impôt. Les citoyens paient, obéissent et renoncent à se faire justice eux-mêmes. En échange, l’État assure la protection des personnes et des biens.
Après les pillages et destructions des 17 et 18 octobre des milliers de commerces touchés, des heures d’absence policière, des commerçants se sentant abandonnés, vous répondez par cette lettre. Vous dites, en substance : nous ne pouvons plus vous protéger ; protégez-vous ou fermez.
Vous demandez ainsi aux citoyens de payer deux fois : une fois par l’impôt, une seconde fois par la sécurité privée ou par la perte d’activité. Vous transformez un droit fondamental en option payante.
Vous transférez sur les épaules des commerçants une mission que la loi vous impose.
Ce n’est pas une défaillance conjoncturelle, c’est une rupture clair et net de ce pacte.
Quand le représentant de l’État écrit noir sur blanc qu’il ne peut garantir la protection des établissements, il reconnaît qu’il n’est plus en mesure de remplir l’obligation prévue à l’article L111-1.
Le pacte social repose sur cette obligation et sur aucune autre. En l’abandonnant, vous le rompez.
Le monde doit le savoir : la France, en 2026, admet officiellement qu’elle ne peut plus assurer sa fonction première.
C’est une honte c’est cataclysmique.
Vous avez brisé le pacte. Les citoyens ne vous doivent plus obéissance si vous n’honorez plus la protection.
Ce n’est pas une crise, c’est la fin d’un contrat, et vous en êtes les signataires.

A short note to the Independent Directors at SpaceX
A merger has real merit, and Tesla shareholders have to approve it under the tough majority-of-all-shares standard. That high bar means the exchange ratio needs to be attractive.
Tesla holders will be forfeiting real voting power in a company where they currently have (and have often used) a voice, in exchange for shares in an entity Elon controls.
Tesla brings manufacturing scale and casting experience, the energy business, fleet data for AI, and real robotics progress. Those assets create value that needs to be shared fairly.
Take it from someone who interacts with many Tesla retail shareholders daily: a better ratio for Tesla holders is both fair and necessary if this deal is going to pass.

Guys the reason why Tesla and SpaceX have to merge is because distributed compute will be the FASTEST way to bring up AI inference, because there's UNGODLY amounts of waste in the electrical grid in the US.
Think about all the idle capacity that our grid has because it has to be built for absolute worst case scenario, which means that most of the time the grid is nowhere near its max capacity.
You can capture this waste with batteries (Tesla) + inference chips (SpaceX/Terafab) installed freaking EVERYWHERE.
Superchargers. Businesses. Homes. Utilities. Power stations. Whatever. Literally everywhere.
And those locations will pay for themselves in a year or two due to the massive premium tokens are going for.
Tesla/SpaceX are at a point where they can convert capital into cashflow at higher rates than probably anywhere else on the planet.
If AI is the most valuable thing in the world, and you can't have AI without power/chips, then the player that can deploy power/chips the fastest will ultimately be the most valuable company in the world.
That player appears to be Musk Industry or whatever we're calling this thing.

Elon Musk has a mantra: "The best part is no part." In engineering, it means the most reliable component is the one you deleted. A part that doesn't exist can't break, can't cost, can't fail.
This weekend, he applied it to human systems. I think we'll look back on it as one of the defining moments of the 21st century.
A. Two announcements, 24 hours apart.
Sunday night, Anthropic announced its Public Benefit Fund. 5% of its shares to start, up to 2% more for every 50% increase in value, at the board's discretion. Roughly 20% of the company committed to "the public good." Who decides where the money goes? Governance details "in the coming months."
Musk replied with one sentence: "I recommend giving the shares directly to the public."
Monday morning, he did it himself. One SpaceX share to every kid in America next year. The first of many.
Same problem. Same moment. Two opposite answers.
B. The fork.
We are at a turning point for humanity. Superintelligence is coming, and it will create more value than anything in history. The question is no longer whether there will be abundance. It's which pipe it flows through.
Path one: keep the old architecture and bolt superintelligence on top. Value is created inside companies, then routed through an intermediary layer: a fund, a foundation, a committee, an agency, the state. That layer decides who deserves what.
Path two: delete the layer. The people who create value hand ownership directly to citizens.
Best part is no part.
C. Every intermediary layer gets captured.
This isn't cynicism. It's the most reliable law in political economy. Any large pool of money with discretionary allocation becomes a target. Whoever controls the committee controls the flow. Whoever controls the flow controls the people who depend on it.
Look at who's already at the table. Anthropic signed a $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation earlier this year. Nothing sinister about it. That's exactly the point. The people who end up running these structures are always the same profile: billionaire philanthropists, NGO boards, policy experts. Sincere altruists, often. People convinced they know better than you what's good for you.
It starts with good intentions. It always does. Then the money grows, the incentive to capture it grows with it, and the people who were there to serve end up being served.
D. Path one ends in 1984.
Follow the logic to the end. AI does most of the work. Most people's income comes from a fund. The fund has criteria. Criteria require eligibility. Eligibility requires monitoring. Monitoring requires bureaucrats.
Your livelihood now depends on staying in good standing with a committee you never elected and can't fire. Add superintelligence, and that committee sees everything.
Nobody has to want this dystopia. The architecture produces it on its own. Power concentrates where the money passes. Apparatchiks multiply. Every layer takes its cut. And every layer, sooner or later, gets corrupted.
E. Path two creates owners.
When a company gives you a share, nobody decides each month whether you still deserve it. Nobody can take it back because you voted wrong or posted the wrong thing. It's yours. It grows when value is created. And when AI drives the cost of everything toward zero, you're not holding a check a politician forgot to index. You own a piece of the deflation machine.
But the deepest effect is on people. A check makes you a beneficiary. A share makes you an owner. A beneficiary waits, asks, complains. An owner watches, learns, takes responsibility. One builds dependency. The other builds individual responsibility.
Those are two different civilizations.
F. Why the old layer can't be fixed.
The state, the foundation, the public fund: they all rest on one assumption. That between those who create and those who receive, someone must stand in the middle and decide. That made sense in a slow world, where coordination was expensive and information was scarce.
In a world of superintelligence, that layer isn't just slow. It's a bottleneck, a tax, and a single point of capture. You don't optimize it. You delete it.
G. The choice.
Path one: creators, then intermediaries, then citizens. The 20th century running on GPUs. Bureaucrats with infinite intelligence.
Path two: creators, then citizens. Direct. Transparent. Owned.
One leads to a managed population. The other can lead to something close to utopia: billions of people who own the machines that free them.
H. I'm all in.
I'm all in on Elon's approach. Not because it's Elon. Because it's the only design where the failure mode isn't tyranny.
The best part is no part. Including for civilization.
What Elon Musk just announced is revolutionary. To understand why, you have to go back to July.
In July, Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist, sat down with Musk. He told her what he's been saying for years: AI and robots will create an age of abundance. Not universal basic income. Universal high income.
She asked the question every economist asks: "Where's the revenue coming from?" If you just issue checks, you get inflation.
At the time, even Musk gave the old answer: the Treasury should issue checks.
This morning, he gave a completely different one. One SpaceX share to every kid in America. The first of many.
Not printed money. Ownership of the value itself. That's the real answer to her question. The revenue comes from where the value is created.
And in the age of AI, where is value created? In private companies. Not in ministries, not in agencies, not in parliaments. The models, the robots, the chips, the energy, the rockets. Almost every productivity explosion of the next twenty years will happen inside companies that build.
Once you understand that, the question of the century changes. It's no longer "will there be abundance?" It's "how do we share it?"
There are only two models.
In the first, the State sits in the middle. It taxes the companies that create value, then redistributes it. Every dollar passes through politicians, agencies, committees, lobbies. It arrives late, it arrives smaller, and it arrives captured. And it's inflationary by nature, because the State injects money without owning any of the production behind it.
In the second, the entrepreneur distributes directly. Those who create the value hand ownership of it to citizens. No intermediary. Your income grows at the speed of the value being created. And deflation stops being your enemy: when AI drives the cost of everything toward zero, you're not holding a fixed check that politicians forgot to index. You own the machine that's driving prices down.
We already know the State is a useless layer. Everything it touches becomes unaffordable: housing, tuition, healthcare. Everything it leaves alone gets cheaper and better every year.
And in the age of superintelligence, that layer becomes even more absurd. Musk believes AI will exceed the intelligence of all humans combined within five years. In that world, what exactly is the function of a bureaucracy whose job is to take from one hand and give to the other, slowly, taking its cut along the way? The State was a slow layer in a slow world. In an exponential world, it's a bottleneck.
QED: Elon Musk is disrupting the State.
Not by fighting it. By making it unnecessary. It's the same playbook he's always run. He didn't lobby NASA to get better, he built SpaceX. He didn't beg carmakers to go electric, he built Tesla. He's not asking the State to redistribute better. He's building the alternative, and letting everyone compare.
In 2008, everyone bet he'd go bankrupt. They bet rockets would never land. They bet electric cars would never sell.
Now they're betting the State is irreplaceable.
Don't bet against Elon.

Darkness is the universe’s default. It requires nothing—no energy, maintenance, or will. Left alone, the cosmos settles into quiet, cold, unlit stillness.
Light is an interruption, existing only where energy is continuously spent to create and sustain it. Turn off the source and darkness resumes; it was never gone.
This argues not for darkness but against it. The ease of the dark is not a virtue but the absence of effort. What must be maintained has already proved worth maintaining. Every lamp, fire, and conscious mind refuses the path of least resistance. We keep the light not because it is natural, but because we choose it—the effortless alternative offers nothing.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

« Ce n’est que du matériel, ils ont juste à faire jouer les assurances, pas de quoi en faire un drame. »
Il faut n’avoir absolument aucune conscience de ce qu’est être commerçant ou entrepreneur pour dire un truc pareil.
Voir son outil de travail partir en fumée, c’est traumatisant. Voir ses économies investies dans un commerce qui met parfois des années à rapporter un maigre salaire, c’est violent. Beaucoup ont en plus été frappés, blessés, humiliés.
Les assurances ? Si les petits commerces arrivent à se faire rembourser une partie des pertes, ce sera déjà une victoire. Elles ne couvriront pas tout, si elles couvrent quelque chose, et ce sera un enfer administratif et judiciaire pour beaucoup de victimes, ajoutant au traumatisme.
Ce n’est pas « que du matériel ». Ce sont des vies brisées, des violences physiques et psychologiques, qui auront des conséquences.
Rien ne justifie cela. Aucun motif politique. Il n’y en a pas, ce sont juste des pillages, tout le monde le sait. Ceux qui essayent de minorer ou de justifier cette violence (qui touche d’ailleurs des gens souvent modestes, dont la vie va être encore plus difficile désormais) s’en rendent complices.

I’ve spent a few days thinking about the Tesla Roadster reveal and landed somewhere I haven’t seen much discussion. I’m neither a Tesla fanboy nor a Tesla hater. And I couldn’t care less whether what we saw technically qualifies as a flying car. Three takeaways: (1) The risk of that live demonstration going horribly wrong was real. Almost no CEO would willingly expose their company to that kind of public humiliation for a product with so little financial upside. Elon did. (2) That willingness to attempt the seemingly impossible is what makes Tesla special. It’s also arguably Elon’s greatest contribution to America. He’s helped bring back something we’ve lost. The American spirit of chasing big scary ideas that most people think are impossible. That mindset is spreading across a new generation of founders and its long term impact on America’s future could dwarf anything Tesla ever sells. I think this is deeply underappreciated. (3) Can we just acknowledge how insanely cool that moment was? We’ve reached a strange place culturally where even extraordinary feats of human ingenuity immediately become arguments about why they don’t count. Not everything needs to be a debate. Sometimes we should just be able to stand back together and marvel at what humans are capable of. I’ve been both bullish and critical of Tesla’s ambitions over the years. But watching Elon and his team push the boundaries of what’s possible reminds me why I’m glad we have him. Whether the Roadster ever makes Tesla a dollar or impacts $TSLA stock price is almost beside the point. We need more people willing to risk failure in pursuit of things the rest of us think are impossible. Because when they succeed we all win.
