Well this post has got me on this kick for the rest of the day while working. I’ll post some other faves from around the non-Western world 🧵

just started "For All Mankind," and it already requires less suspension of disbelief than a SpaceX earnings call
that heart-stopping moment between waking up smelling toast and the realization that you're not actually having a stroke, the world is just on fire, silly
“Timely and persuasive, this revelatory account is difficult to ignore.” My new book HYPERSCALE received a fantastic review from @publisherswkly.bsky.social. Less than three months until it hits bookstore shelves! Get more info and preorder your copy: hyperscalebook.com
in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon
If you missed my livestream of yesterday's inaugural SpaceX quarterly earnings call, you can catch the VOD here. Thanks again to @montanaskeptic.bsky.social and @peark.es for joining! youtu.be/oJGwzxsQ_3s

but Elon just said they'd be at $100 billion ARR by the end of the year! 1,000 Starlink V3 sats in orbit by Q2 of next year! humanoid robot moonbase, um, soonish! why, it's almost as if... people don't believe him anymore?
Sean O’Kane@okane.fyi · 3h agoSpaceX down more than 12% at the open, now hovering around 10%
gmail sent the email, but it frowned while it did so, to make clear its disapproval of my unconventional verbiage and sentence structure
stating that women and girls need to be protected from trans people is absolutely hate
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 19h agoDid we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?
Huge thanks to everyone who tuned in to the Elon Take The Wheel Livestream's coverage of the first-ever SpaceX quarterly earnings call! Special thanks to @montanaskeptic.bsky.social and @peark.es for sharing their wisdom and bemusement. VOD out later this evening, for those who missed it live!
Hey Boise/Eliot, Portland, Oregon neighbors. If you have seen this guy (Shady), drop me a DM. He's been gone for a few days now.
I hopped on to chat with Ed and give myself brain damage listening to Everyone's Least Optimal Nutcase. We just talked about this, which is the most fictional guide I've seen in a long time *SPACEX SEES $100 BILLION ARR BY YEAR-END: CFO
e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online · 2w agoyou're goddamn right I'm going to livestream the first-ever SpaceX earnings call on the AT Protocol put it on your calendar now: August 4, 2026, following market close at 4:30 PM Eastern stream.place/niedermeyer.online
"that was fraud" ~@montanaskeptic.bsky.social
egg16z 🥚@notlikewe.bsky.social · 19h agoElon projecting one launch of starship *per day* by next year lmao
Hoping that the first-ever SpaceX ($SPCX) earnings call doesn't start right at 4:30 ET, because I'll be rushing home from an appointment to start the stream then... either way, join me and the gang as we listen in on this historical earnings call, right here on AT protocol atmo.rsvp/p/niedermeye...

imagine a car that does the thing where online ads try to get you to buy the thing you literally just bought
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · yesterdayThis sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
if only someone could have predicted that Tesla would never actually become a mass market automaker!
Sean O’Kane@okane.fyi · yesterdayNEW: Elon Musk clearly hates talking about Tesla's stagnant car biz these days so @russellbrandom.bsky.social and I mapped out just how much it's taken a back seat on the company's earnings calls. Musk now spends half or more of his time talking about AI & robotics: techcrunch.com/2026/08/04/e...
"Prudery is the enemy of art" - Soviet poster, 1980s
today Elon Musk will host SpaceX’s first earnings call as a publicly traded company and if you think he will be “grilled” by sell side analysts you have never listened to a TSLA call for 16 years
can't shake the feeling that slop menus are going to be a deciding factor in the AI backlash

With the first public $SPCX "earnings" call only hours away, I am go to repost something I scratched out on Saturday. This is a story about how pride goeth before a fall. montanaskeptic.substack.com/p/elon-musks...
Elon Musk's Hubris May Doom any Tesla-SpaceX Merger
With Tesla shrinking fast, a bailout merger would fit the Musk pattern. But there are some key impediments to consider.

"I only believe the moon landing happened because Elon Musk said it did" is a fucking rococo cathedral of dumbassery

For months before Sophie Cunningham's latest blow-up, Instagram and TikTok have been shoving tribute videos of her fighting Black players on the court into everyone's feed. I wonder why that is, and I wonder about the timing of the buildup.
