John Johnston (JJ) provides an update of Tesla’s autonomous or Unsupervised Robotaxi roll-out, a few weeks after the first one was spotted in Austin Texas. So far, it seems to be progressing slowly. A lot of Tesla stock market cap is riding on the success of Robotaxis, and then Tesla’s Optimus Robot later. How long will the stock market wait to see significant progress in Tesla’s autonomy program, after over 10 years of Elon’s predictions and claims?

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how Elon Musk’s brother, and fellow Tesla Board of Directors member, Kimbal Musk is attempting to counter a Guardian article that asserts that emails from The Epstein Files show that Jeffrey Epstein engineered an intimate relationship for Kimbal, and that Kimbal and the woman were involved for about six months between 2012 and 2013. Could Kimbal Musk be kicked off the Tesla Board because of this?

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the news and reactions about Elon Musk saying SpaceX will attempt to build a “self-growing” city on the Moon within the next 10 years, pivoting away from getting to Mars. Given all Elon’s false “predictions” over the years, it seems fewer people are believing Elon these days, apart from his most ardent fans. We look at some of the reactions to the news, from Elon’s own social media platform.

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the Elon Musk and SpaceX news that Elon has announced SpaceX is delaying Mars missions plans by years, to shift focus to Moon missions, and “building a self-growing city on the Moon”. Elon’s most ardent supporters and Tesla influencers are saying it makes a lot of sense, and critics are pointing out that delaying going to Mars is yet another one of Elon’s false “predictions” and claims. For many years, Mars has been Elon’s main stated focuses, and now he’s pivoting.
