Elon Musk unveils Terafab: the chip fab behind a terawatt of compute per year. 1 terawatt is 1,000,000,000,000 watts or 1,000 gigawatts. • Elon calls Terafab "the most epic chip building exercise in history by far," a joint effort of SpaceX, xAI and Tesla • Goal: a terawatt of compute per year. Current AI compute output is roughly 20 GW a year, and all the fabs on Earth combined are only about 2% of what's needed • He says they'll buy all the chips Samsung, TSMC and Micron can make, but those suppliers can't expand fast enough: "we either build the Terafab or we don't have the chips" • Phase one is an advanced technology fab in Austin: logic, memory and packaging plus lithography masks in one building, so they can make a chip, test it, make a new mask and repeat • Elon says nothing like it exists anywhere "to the best of my knowledge" and that the design loop is probably an order of magnitude better than anything else, with "wild and crazy" experiments and some "new physics" he's confident will work • Two chip types: an edge inference chip for Optimus and cars, and a high-power chip built for space (radiation, running hotter to cut radiator mass). His slide labels AI5 for FSD and Optimus, AI6 for Optimus, and D3 for space • He expects 1B to 10B humanoid robots a year vs about 100M vehicles, and wants Tesla to make a very significant share • His guess: 100 to 200 GW a year of chips on the ground and about a terawatt in space • He thinks AI in space could cost less than on the ground in as little as 2 to 3 years: 5x or more solar power, no big batteries, no heavy glass or framing • A terawatt of compute a year needs about 10M tons to orbit per year at 100 kW per ton. He says no new physics is needed and he's confident SpaceX gets there • Starship goes from 100 tons to 200 tons to orbit, and the mini AI Sat is about 100 kW, with megawatt-class satellites expected later • Next step after Terafab: an electromagnetic mass driver on the Moon to send a petawatt of compute to deep space, about 1,000x a terawatt • Track record he cites: Tesla at 2M cars a year, xAI's first gigawatt-scale cluster (Jensen Huang said he'd never seen anything built so fast), SpaceX with 500+ landings • Closing : AI and robotics bring abundance, and "anyone could have a trip to Saturn" This is the first official Tesla x SpaceX collaboration announcement and it was before Grok Bot so people seemed to have forgotten the significance of it already. so I made a supercut as a reminder both Tesla and SpaceX teams are working towards Sustainable Abundance for All already. 🎥 @elonmusk @JensenHuang @Gwynne_Shotwell $TSLA $SPCX

Replying to @JustinTrudeau
@JustinTrudeau was ALL in on this grift. Destroyed Canada’s economy buying in on the doomsday scenarios. @MarkJCarney was also in..until he wasn’t. Who gets fired? Held accountable??
The UN has publicly announced that climate change never existed!! Solar power generation was just about vested interests. All man-made!! That's the whole story!!! 🐸 W.H.G

David Sacks says Democrats want to rebuild the COVID censorship regime with superintelligence. @DavidSacks “I believe that Democrats want to create a surveillance and censorship state that’s turbocharged by super intelligence.” “They’re gonna basically reenact that whole regime again using AI and it’s going to be infinitely more powerful because we’re talking about super intelligence here.”

Grok
SpaceX VP of Launch @TurkeyBeaver says Grok is now helping them identify foreign object debris in aerospace parts, and that Grok (99.9%) is better at it than humans (94%). "We’ve automated being able to detect FOD. We’ll have an inspector go in and borescope a tube, and we find that humans are about 94% perfect (at) finding a piece of it. Grok analyzing the same video is 99.9% perfect." Full article: arstechnica.com/space/2026/1…

UK judge gives Russel Brand 10 years 6 months for “rape”. No forensic evidence. No DNA. No CCTV. Same country and system: Gave Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu 12 months in prison for offences including sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl, sexual assault of an adult woman, attempted sexual assault, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and harassment.

The UK “justice system” is an utter joke. Beyond parody. Total dishonor.
Fuck this. Russell Brand gets 10 years based solely on the word of his accusers. Meanwhile there are countless Muslim grooming gang child rapists who got off free despite far stronger evidence. For example Ahmed who got off free for child rape because the witnesses were deemed not credible, even though his DNA was found on her underwear. Or offender J, a Muslim child rapist who participated in a 24-hour long gang-rape of a 12-year-old girl they had abducted in Oldham. He was named as a participant by one of his co-rapists, as well as by his wife, but never received a sentence due to lack of forensic evidence.

JUST IN: Memphis Mayor reveals SpaceX data center taxes more than doubled to $54 million, after $25 million last year made it Shelby County’s second largest taxpayer Paul Young was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that data centers have Memphis booming: Q: “Recently, just speaking on the revenues the data centers are creating for Memphis. Elon Musk recently tweeted that Memphis is 'booming' because of the data centers. He said that hotels and restaurants are full and called, tax revenue in Memphis tremendous right now. Do you just have any thoughts on that?” YOUNG: “Well, we’ve talked a lot about the financial aspects of the project. I think that as we talk about data centers in our city, we want to talk about it in a balanced way. Of course there’s an economic side. We want to make sure that we are articulating what protections and guardrails we’re putting in place for the environmental sides that, people are concerned about, the quality of life, noise, traffic, all of those aspects." "But, there there is tax revenue. I think this year it was $54,000,000 in taxes that have been generated. And I know last year when they generated about $25,000,000 in tax revenue, it was the second largest tax paying property in Shelby County. I don’t know where $54,000,000 puts it, but it is significant taxes." "And so as we look at, the tax revenue, we also wanna look at how do we ensure that there are proper protections. That’s what this ninety day executive order has been about, and, it’s the conversation that we’ll continue to have with the community.”
SpaceX’s Arizona data center, per a county supervisor: “We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20%” Frank Antenori, whose district includes the site, brought up the county’s tax math during a live Q&A: “Here’s just something to just chew on. Arizona has an expenditure limit requirement that is placed on counties. If we exceed that expenditure, we have to rebate back to the taxpayers a certain amount.” “So, if we’re receiving revenue in from SpaceX, by law, we have to offset that to the taxpayers. We have the potential to reduce, based on the projected revenue they’re creating, as much as 20%.” “Let me just say it again. We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20% to offset for the revenue here, because we can’t spend all that money. So, we have to give that money back to the taxpayers. The law says we have to.” “So, you could see a potential significant impact to local property taxes. What that is, I don’t know. We’re going to have to do the math on it. But the law, if we have this large increase in property tax revenue, we have to balance those rates. So that will reduce dramatically the property tax burden of every resident in the county.” “The construction sales tax, which also is the TPT, the transaction privilege tax, the retail tax, and the jail excise tax. So that will be part of the construction tax. We could literally use that money to pay the jail off in 2 to 3 years, as opposed to the 13 to 20 years.” “So this could be a revenue to eliminate the half-cent sales tax in 2 to 3 years. We can get rid of that half-cent sales tax.”

Jay Leno just tried @Tesla's FSD (Supervised) for the first time. The Model Y L pulled over by itself when an ambulance with its sirens on drove by. "We got it on self-driving mode! I'm not touching anything." Jay finally tried FSD! haha (via new episode of Jay Leno's Garage)

The most entertaining outcome is the most likely, especially if ironic
One irony maximizing outcome that I’m not looking forward to is Anthropic proving to the world that their fears are justified by building the super-intelligence that they fear.

Mark Carney borrows $25B to set up a fake national wealth fund. Then he hires a Wall Street executive who has never lived in Canada to head his fake wealth fund. That's $2M/day in interest payments. In what world is that a wealth fund?

Tesla has just officially stopped taking orders for the Cybertruck Premium AWD trim. Additionally, Tesla has raised the starting price of the Cyberbeast trim by $7,500 or 7.3% to $109,990 (from $102,490 before). The Cyberbeast trim is now the only trim you can order.
