Open AI
- Lawsuit coming. How did they convert a non-profit to a For-Profit?
At a high level, the lawsuit (primarily led by Elon Musk) asserts that OpenAI betrayed its founding “charitable mission” by transforming from a transparent non-profit into a “closed-source de facto subsidiary” of Microsoft.
Musk’s legal team argues that the shift to a for-profit structure constitutes fraud and a breach of charitable trust, claiming that early donors like Musk were “deceived” into providing seed funding under the premise that the AI would remain open-source and benefit all of humanity. Consequently, the lawsuit seeks to reclaim billions in “wrongful gains” and potentially force the company to open its technology, asserting that no private corporation should have an exclusive grip on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Tesla
Tesla’s total across all its models (Model Y, Model 3, Cybertruck, Model X, and Model S) is 117,300 vehicles.
This represents 55.43% of the overall total of 211,609 vehicles in the list.
Tesla dominated this dataset, accounting for more than half of all the EVs combined.
Lidar
- Problem number one: it adds a modality to the model’s training. Your network has to learn to fuse vision + LIDAR + radar + ultrasonics. Every extra sensor is a source of disagreement to arbitrate, not an additional source of info. Handcrafted sensor fusion = permanent technical debt.
- Problem number two, Rich Sutton’s bitter lesson: scaling compute on a single modality systematically beats hand-built architectures. Tesla dropped radar, then ultrasonics, went full end-to-end vision. Their curve on edge cases accelerated AFTER, not before. Waymo does the opposite and stays stuck in geofenced ops.
- Problem number three, the most fundamental: LIDAR sees geometry, not semantics. It knows there’s something, not what it is or what it’s going to do. The last 9s of reliability are cognition problems, not raw perception ones. One more sensor solves nothing, it adds noise.
Semi

Robotaxi
- Data Center applied to mobil? What? I think it means each car is a walking piece of a datacenter. So whil car its on board compute is not doing “driving functions” it could be a hub of a larger datacetner. Definitely an Energy questions here. Just leaving Sentry mode on can bleed the batter.
- Musk estimates that a fleet of 100 million vehicles, each contributing ~1 kW of inference power, could provide 100 gigawatts of total compute power. This would rival the world’s largest centralized data centers without the need to build new buildings or cooling infrastructure.
- Owners could potentially rent out their car’s compute cycles for cash or charging credits, similar to how they might earn money from a Robotaxi fleet.
FSD Europe
Tesla official X announcement.
FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands & will begin rolling out in the country shortly!
Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways. No other vehicle can do this. We’re excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon
SpaceX
- Good video here.
- 10,000+ satellites.
- 9m paid Starlink subscribers
- Starlink was $10-12b in 2025. Revenue total $15-16b.
Expected IPO Details
- Valuation: SpaceX is reportedly targeting a valuation of $1.75 trillion, which would make it one of the largest companies in the world immediately upon listing.
- Retail Access: In a rare move for a massive IPO, SpaceX is reportedly considering allocating up to 30% of its shares specifically for retail investors (individuals).
- Recent Merger: The company recently integrated Elon Musk’s AI startup, xAI, in February 2026, which is expected to be a major part of the narrative in the upcoming public prospectus.
