The Cybertruck order rate far exceeds our production rate. We will try to make as many as possible before shutting down the line in about 8 months, but will have to return deposits for a lot of people.
This is not a case of Cybertruck being unprofitable, as has been misreported by legacy media, but rather that the opportunity cost of the complexity of Cybertruck is vastly outweighed by the value of incremental Cybercab production.

Starlink continues to support the communications needs of Canada’s federal government.

Remember when Trump wanted Canada more aligned on trade policy/tariff walls against adversaries, defending our SHARED border… and Canadians lost their minds over it and started boycotting America? Calling them a threat to our sovereignty?
And then… when the EU President wanted canada more aligned on policy, parliament, governance, and courts, and tariff policy… Canadians cheered and talked about how much progress was being made?
I remember…

FINAL TEXAS POLL: Ken Paxton leads James Talarico 49.4% to 48.4%!

Do NOT sit this one out. Get out, bring 10 friends, and VOTE RED! Keep Texas RED! 🇺🇸🔴

Legacy media will never run this list, so I will.
2018, Flint, Michigan: Elon funded filtration systems for schools with unsafe water. Over $480K.
2018, Thailand: SpaceX engineers built a mini-submarine within days to help rescue a boys' soccer team trapped in a flooded cave.
2020, COVID: He sourced and delivered ventilators and supplies to hospitals for free.
2021: He gave Tesla shares worth about $5.7 billion to charity.
2021: He funded a $100M XPRIZE for carbon removal, one of the largest incentive prizes ever.
2022: Starlink kept Ukrainians connected when their networks went down.
2022, Tonga: Starlink helped reconnect the island after a volcano cut its undersea cable.
Wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes: Starlink terminals keep showing up for rescuers and families.
And the biggest one, the one that's easy to miss: he's spent his fortune and 20+ years building clean energy, safer cars, and a future for humanity among the stars.
They call him a villain. The record says otherwise.

The sheer fucking hypocrisy surrounding Elon Musk is breathtaking.
For decades, billionaire-funded foundations have financed advocacy groups, political campaigns, legal organizations, and efforts to reshape public policy.
George Soros is one of the most prominent examples.
And somehow that influence is routinely presented as enlightened philanthropy.
Then Elon Musk enters politics, spends openly, challenges powerful institutions, and suddenly the entire establishment discovers the dangers of billionaire influence.
Give me a fucking break.
The man has built companies that launch rockets, connect the world through satellites, manufacture vehicles, and advance technologies with enormous implications for humanity.
His long-term ambition is to make civilization multiplanetary.
He has a profound personal interest in a future where technological progress remains possible.
You can disagree with his politics.
But pretending he’s just another billionaire looking for influence ignores the extraordinary scale of what he’s actually trying to accomplish.

加拿大安省撕掉上亿星链合同。
安大略省省长道格·福特在镜头前放话：
撕了，彻底没了。
起因是川普政府加征关税，福特决定反击，宣布安省所有政府项目把美资企业踢出局，首当其冲的就是马斯克的星链。
话说得很提气。
但只要把账本翻开看一眼，这笔账算得让人摸不着头脑。
先看这份合同原本是干什么的。
安省北部大多是森林和偏远荒野，铺光纤成本高得离谱，商业电信公司根本不肯去。
全省有一万五千户偏远家庭和原住民社区，连像样的宽带都没有。
2024年底，省府好不容易敲定这笔一亿加元的合同，借助星链近地轨道卫星给这些社区通网。
结果关税摩擦一来，福特当场把合同撕了。
他说是要给对方一点颜色看看。
但实际发生了什么？
SpaceX 在全球的发射排着队，根本不缺这单业务。
合同是安省主动毁约的，根据法律条款，安省政府必须拿纳税人的钱，给 SpaceX 支付一笔保密的违约赔偿金。
不仅一分钱没省下来，还得额外倒贴一笔罚款。
更尴尬的是那偏远的一万五千户居民。
合同撕了，网没了。
在安省北部的冻土和森林里，除了星链，短期内全世界根本找不到第二家能提供同等网速和低延迟的低轨卫星网络。
加拿大本土方案还在纸上画饼，铺实体光纤要等好几年。
很多原本指望政府补贴通网的原住民和偏远农户，最后只能自己掏腰包，按个人价格去买星链的终端和服务。
镜头前的狠话放完了。
企业照常收到了违约金，纳税人默默买了单。
留给北部居民的，依然是荒野里微弱的信号。

Bank of Canada just said the quiet part out loud.
Inflation is heading higher than they projected. Not a little higher. Quite a bit higher.
September already came in at 3.1%. Businesses expect it to stay above 3% for the next two years. Consumers are bracing for the same.
The cause? Oil and energy prices that refuse to come down, plus the ongoing cost of the trade mess.
Carney’s plan? Keep spending like the credit card has no limit. Tell Canadians to sacrifice while the government keeps the tab open.
The Bank of Canada is warning the inflation problem is getting worse. Ottawa is still acting like the bill is someone else’s problem.

🇨🇦 Canada may be about to sign your grandchildren up for a bill they never voted for.
Carney and the Liberals are potentially locking Canadian taxpayers into generational financial obligations tied to deeper EU integration.
Look at the UK.
Brexit did not simply mean walking away. Britain was left with a financial settlement estimated at roughly £30–42 billion, with payments stretching over years.
And the economic costs did not stop there.
More customs friction.
More bureaucracy.
Reduced trade.
Lost tax revenue.
Lower economic growth.
Now Canada is moving toward deeper integration with the EU trading bloc, with potential annual costs running into the billions.
And here is the question Canadians should be asking before signing anything:
What happens if a future government wants out?
Because joining an international structure is always sold as opportunity.
Leaving one can become extraordinarily expensive.
Britain learned that lesson the hard way.
Canada should know the full cost, the long-term obligations and the exit terms before taxpayers are locked in.
Otherwise today’s political agreement becomes tomorrow’s generational bill. 🇨🇦
