Tesla self-driving, hiring and robotaxi updates
@elonmusk says there will soon be a generalized, pure AI solution to full self-driving using just cameras and the Tesla AI chip with Tesla AI software (87.2K likes, 31.0M views). He also urges people in Korea to join Tesla for chip design, fabrication or AI software (96.0K likes, 65.1M views). @robotaxi lists service updates: hours of 6am-11pm, reduced wait times, an automatically opening trunk and Grok @bot in Cybercab (8.7K likes, 2.3M views).
Why it mattersMusk's two posts carry the highest like and view counts in this set, and the robotaxi account adds operational claims.
AI model news: DeepSeek, Gemini and OpenAI
@opencode says DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is now free in OpenCode (21.8K likes, 2.7M views). @GoogleDeepMind says Gemini 4 Argon is globally available, with frontier capabilities across coding, enterprise workflows and cyber defense (6.4K likes, 2.5M views). @elonmusk posted Early days of OpenAI (18.7K likes, 2.6M views).
Why it mattersModel releases and free access from several AI players drew millions of views within days of each other.
NYC puts $30 million into an NYU quantum lab
@nytimes reports in a breaking news post that Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration is making a $30 million investment to build a quantum research lab at New York University. According to the post, the city will receive 15% of any proceeds from intellectual property developed in that lab (11.3K likes, 223 replies, 1.8M views).
Why it mattersA city-level deal that ties public funding to a share of intellectual property proceeds in quantum research.
X pilots Video Kickstart Bonus for creators

We just unveiled Steelfin at AUSA. It is a modular, low-cost mass-production missile defense interceptor that brings two-stage performance to dozens of existing platforms.
Gemini 4 Argon is now globally available. Built to solve your hardest problems from start to finish, the model brings frontier capabilities across coding, enterprise workflows, and cyber defense. https://t.co/N8tOQjwk0x
We’re doubling down on video on 𝕏. Today, we're piloting Video Kickstart Bonus, an invite-only program that rewards creators for posting their video content here. A few things to know: • Videos must be vertical, under 3 minutes, and content you’ve created yourself. • Videos you’ve already shared on other platforms are eligible, as long as they don’t have watermarks. • You must post at least 15 videos across 15 different days within the 30-day period of the campaign. Invites are rolling out over the next few days, and enrollment closes October 30. Happy posting!!
Why are we even LISTENING to these absolute psychos, let alone rule over us? https://t.co/FlaYgj2zO7
Creator of free Adobe clones unveils open-source Microsoft Office Excel, PowerPoint, and Word replications https://t.co/C1rAbMxGae
2 different versions of Michigan electronic voting machines, both DOMINION and ES&S have been found to have utilized wireless remote internet technology, communicating with foreign IP addresses during the 2020 election. The Dominion Voting Systems proposal for Antrim County literally showed a quote for wireless transmission capabilities. And the ES&S Model DS200 was found to have an internal wireless card that has a private network address that was designed to communicate with an ES&S Primary Host Server, ethernet connections, and a wireless transmission card with 3G/4G access from Telit, which is tied to China. In Michigan, the Dominion Voting Systems ICX was examined revealing 2 foreign IP addresses discovered in unallocated space on the hard drive of the Linux operating system. The existence of these IPs in unallocated space implies the ICX had previously communicated with one or both of the foreign IP addresses found. The 1st IP address was 120.125.201.101, which is registered to the Ministry of Education Computer Center located in Taipei, Taiwan. The 2nd IP address was 62.146.7.95, which is registered to EDV-BV Gmbh QSC Subkunde located in Nurenberg, Germany. The ICX machine itself was manufactured in Taiwan and shipped to the U.S. via airfreight using China Airlines. These foreign IP addresses that communicated with U.S. active election equipment during the 2020, with these machines having parts directly from China and being shipped from China itself tells you everything you need to know, and completely shatters the mainstream narrative that these machines are safe, or have never communicated outside the U.S. during a live election. These machines and software is all compromised and need to be removed.
