So what is it? JPow cutting U.S. a break?

EDIT: h/t @kengchang from Lower-BB to Mid-BB in a hr
Brendan Pedersen on X: "The Federal Reserve will hold rates at current level, keeping the federal funds rate at 5.25% and 5.5%. FOMC projections expect 75 basis points worth of cuts next year. Follow along for Chair Jay Powell's press conference at 230 ET."
JUST IN: FED Chair Jerome Powell says "we are pleased with the progress on inflation." Twitter • 16 seconds ago
Cheers to the Longs!
So, does this mean that J-POW has lit the candle(stick)?

Who doesn't like Texas Institutute of Technology and Science? (T.I.T.S.)
Elon Musk on Twitter: "Massachusetts has MIT California has CIT Texas has TITS" / Twitter (Oct 29, 2021)
Nice. Thanks for pointing that out. It doesn't walk as well as Optimus Gen 2, but the video I saw on their web site could be old. It walks about as well as Optimus Gen 1.Actually they are:
I am very impressed with the hands on the new optimus, and the rapid progress, and I trust Tesla to be the ONLY company that plans mass-manufactured robots at serious (tens or hundreds of thousands scale).
Figure
Figure is the first-of-its-kind AI robotics company bringing a general purpose humanoid to life.www.figure.ai
But I think that manufacturing bias is their USP. Its not like there is no competition, there definitely is, and it will also ramp. Does anybody really think that nvidia, apple, meta, microsoft, google, will just sit and watch Tesla dominate robotics? They will be late, and slower, but they will definitely compete.
I also found it interesting that they expect to go to market in less than 2 years.
Yeah, figure.ai looks like a takeover target for sure.
From their master plan:
I agree that they will need the backing of someone like nvidia, apple, or google if they want to convert that "extremely low chance of success" into just a "very low chance of success".
So does this mean that lane centering and adaptive cruise will only work on "controlled access highways"? That would be a serious step backwards from a safety standpoint.
Wow. Any idea how that deal is structured? Is Uber supplying all the cash, part of the cash, or is Tesla taking the full hit in offering a discount?
I'd like to see a cooperative-education program (alternating between school and work sessions at Tesla/SpaxeX/"Musk Inc") units. GM had something similar with General Motors Institute since the 1920s to the mid 1980s (the school still exists as Kettering University, but is not affiliated with GM in any way). That way Musk could tailor education programs to the needs of his companies and perhaps put a greater emphasis on STEM classes, rather than the humanities so many other universities mandate even for STEM programs.
This looks like a photo from someone's model RR layout.
That's true. But manufacturing EVs and Megapacks should have been a no-brainer. (Yes, even so, it needed Elon to make it happen.)
Actually deciding to spend billions on mass-producing a practical humanoid robot took a lot more faith and creativity. As a technological achievement, I think Optimus will be his greatest yet.

But can it talk? With Grok LLM, Optimus Gen 3 will be as close to Sci-Fi as we've imagined for 75+ yrs. An AI with agency, a true humanoid robot. And all this before the emergence of AGI. Glad I'm on this wagon...

Yes, most people can't grok that Giga Texas main assembly bldg is 7 stories tall.
He has out Lora'd, Kolodny in that article.
Usually the race for the most biased dishonest take on Tesla is between Lying Linette, Fraudolny and Siddque. This week Siddque wins hands down. Last week it was Linette with one of her most abominable hit pieces. Next week it will be Lora.
They are changing the accounting rules for crypto in a way that will benefit Tesla...

The ability to list Bitcoin at fair market value will help firms like Tesla, but could also lead other companies to add crypto to their treasuries.

Amazon is buying launches from SpaceX not Blue. Amazon is a public company. It has to act in the best interest of shareholders though one could argue canceling Kuiper altogether serves Amazon shareholders best. Instead they “ll go ahead, lose billions then cancel

Doesn't Elon say "Fiction is easy; reification is hard."? Or something like that.
Optimus is like the Borg, minus the biological stuff...What are you missing? You are missing a brain.
Oh, I didn't mean you. Sorry how that sounded, bro.
I just meant Optimus has a better brain. And better hands. And it has a more human form making it capable of more tasks in a human world.
As I read it, they are adding warnings and monitoring to activate and keep it active, but not making major changes to where it can be activated.
One of the many things that make me wish I was younger... except for the pending climate disaster and the current cost of living...
