A year ago we got our first Tesla Model Y to support Elon Musk and the company. It’s the most advanced technology I’ve experienced. FSD is mind blowing - vehicle performance is face melting. Tomorrow I’m joining @Tesla to build w incredible engineers. Mad Max mode only. LFG!!

We are launching the Tesla Robotaxi safety report today. Till date, Robotaxi has driven a total of 3.3 million miles autonomously, and has had zero injuries nor airbag deployments. If the same number of miles were to be manually driven, we should expect roughly 9 injuries to the occupants or other pedestrians and 4 airbag deployments on average. We will continue to transparently share our progress with the public using this page. tesla.com/robotaxi/safety

I definitely thought the number of spaces after a period at the end of a sentence was going to play a bigger role in my adult life… I guess all that red ink on my essays asking “2 spaces?” was for naught.

Fast & seamless
Landed at SFO for #wwdc and Ubered to a nearby coffee shop to experience @robotaxi for the first time. This is incredible! ETA in Waymo, 2.5 hours, Robotaxi just 40min. And Apple Music is already authenticated and ready for me. The future is here 🤯 @elonmusk @wholemars

Tesla AI Vision deploys airbags before impact, which greatly reduces risk of injury or death. This comes for free on all new cars.
Tesla Vision allows us to deploy airbags up to 70 milliseconds earlier if your Tesla detects an unavoidable collision This can be the difference between serious injury & walking away from a crash

.@nayibbukele is a true leader protecting his people. What a legend.
Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton, If you are convinced that torture is taking place at CECOT, El Salvador is ready to cooperate fully. We are willing to release our entire prison population (including all gang leaders and all those described as “political prisoners”) to any country willing to receive them. The only condition is straightforward: it must be everyone. This would also greatly assist journalists and your favorite NGOs, who would then have thousands of former inmates available for interviews, making it far easier to find additional voices critical of the Salvadoran government (or willing to confirm whatever conclusions are already expected). Surely, if these testimonies reflect a systemic reality, a much larger pool of sources should only reinforce the claim, and many governments should be eager to offer protection. Until then, we will continue prioritizing the human rights of the millions of Salvadorans who today live free from gang rule. Respectfully, Nayib Bukele

It’s almost comical (but mostly sad) to watch leadership failures turn into ‘betrayal’ narratives online. I support Avery.
