"Join the Terafab project.

SpaceX is a rare exception on mass-to-orbit, but China now does most non-SpaceX mass-to-orbit. Commodity RAM/LPDDR China is solving fast; newer HBM, SRAM-under-logic and 3D-stacked RAM with cooling will be harder. "When China figures out how to manufacture a product, their ability to scale is often greater than the rest of the world combined. We saw this with lithium batteries and solar, for example. SpaceX is a rare counter-example, where its mass to orbit is roughly an order of magnitude greater than the rest of the world, BUT China now does a majority of non-SpaceX mass to orbit. SpaceX is an anomaly in the matrix. Maybe RAM will be different, but RAM was a low margin commodity only ~3 years ago. LP5 and LP6 are designed to a common standard that China seems to be solving fast. Newer HBM architectures and things like an SRAM layer below logic and 3D stacking RAM on top of logic while finding a way to keep the logic cooled will be harder to solve."https://elonsfaq.org/q/16-good-tesla-self-driving/#q16-nwfysfhttps://elonsfaq.org/q/16-good-tesla-self-driving/#q16-nwfysfMon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000On neural nets swallowing their software harness, he said Tesla FSD's model ate more and more of the C++ until nothing was left. "Same thing happened with Tesla FSD. The model ate more and more of the C++ code, until there was nothing left."https://elonsfaq.org/q/29-think-doing-good/#q29-auwz2ehttps://elonsfaq.org/q/29-think-doing-good/#q29-auwz2eMon, 12 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000Replying to Maye Musk on Tesla's early 'Safety First' culture, he said safety has always been priority 1 at Tesla and SpaceX. "Your safety has always been priority 1 at Tesla and SpaceX"https://elonsfaq.org/q/16-good-tesla-self-driving/#q16-qlwqd9https://elonsfaq.org/q/16-good-tesla-self-driving/#q16-qlwqd9Sun, 11 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000He said Cybercab is scaling after Robotaxi reported 300+ Cybercabs in Austin, an 8x increase in 30 days. "Cybercab is scaling"https://elonsfaq.org/q/71-digital-optimus-far-along/#q71-28w5vghttps://elonsfaq.org/q/71-digital-optimus-far-along/#q71-28w5vgSat, 10 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000He said Digital Optimus can play about halfway through Diablo by looking at the screen like a human, is good at Counter-Strike and other fast games, is training on League, and the goal is to generalize across all games. "We’re making interesting progress here. Digital Optimus can play about halfway through the Diablo campaign so far just by looking at the screen like a human. Skill at Counter-Strike and other fast games is good too. League is also in training. Goal is to generalize across all games."https://elonsfaq.org/q/28-starlinks-geopolitical-power/#q28-pu36mshttps://elonsfaq.org/q/28-starlinks-geopolitical-power/#q28-pu36msSat, 10 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000He called arguments that Starlink both cannot compete with cheap Indian mobile and would be too strong a competitor hypocrisy. Competition would help Indian citizens; SpaceX would have to price Starlink affordably if it is too expensive. "The ridiculous arguments by Ambani’s army of Internet shills make no sense On the one hand, they say Starlink couldn’t possibly compete with the amazing low prices offered by Ambani’s de facto monopoly in India and then, in the same breath, they essentially claim that Starlink would be too strong of a competitor! This is absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole. The reality is that competition would greatly benefit the average citizen in India by giving them more choices, as it always does. Ambani’s profits will be lower, but he is not going out of business. And, obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable."https://elonsfaq.org/q/28-starlinks-geopolitical-power/#q28-do2cbchttps://elonsfaq.org/q/28-starlinks-geopolitical-power/#q28-do2cbcSat, 10 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000He celebrated Starlink being authorized to provide satellite internet nationwide in Venezuela.

"Also, Starlink has proven to be essential for saving lives during natural disasters throughout the world, when all other communications systems have failed, so you would also be helping save men, women and children throughout India. 🇮🇳"https://elonsfaq.org/q/28-starlinks-geopolitical-power/#q28-slbob2https://elonsfaq.org/q/28-starlinks-geopolitical-power/#q28-slbob2Fri, 09 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000In an open letter sarcastically addressed to 'Prime Minister Ambani', he asked that Starlink be allowed to compete in India, saying many areas have no internet and Starlink would help education and small business. "Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 🙏"https://elonsfaq.org/q/9-x-handle-different-countries-laws-free-speech/#q9-mjg07phttps://elonsfaq.org/q/9-x-handle-different-countries-laws-free-speech/#q9-mjg07pThu, 08 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000He said Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years complying with every Indian law and requirement, asking why it still has no license. "Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years complying with every single law and requirement of the government of India, so why still no license?
