@AbeAlem Unfortunately, Asimov's books largely illustrate why the three laws don't work

Flying car pros: travel in 3D fast. Cons: risk of car falling on head much greater, noisy, grounded in bad weather

Major new Tesla product line -- not a car -- will be unveiled at our Hawthorne Design Studio on Thurs 8pm, April 30

To be clear, Tesla is strongly in favor of people being allowed to drive their cars and always will be. Hopefully, that is obvious.

The rumor that I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet Mars is totally untrue

Seems like an opportune moment to bring up the Fermi Paradox, aka "where are the aliens?" Really odd that we see no sign of them.

Reading Look to Windward by Banks. He is an amazing writer. Pantheon level.

However, when self-driving cars become safer than human-driven cars, the public may outlaw the latter. Hopefully not.

Upgrades in the works to allow landing for geo missions: thrust +15%, deep cryo oxygen, upper stage tank vol +10%

The ancient Egyptians were amazing, but if aliens built the pyramids, they would've left behind a computer or something

Btw, please don't mention the pyramids. Stacking stone blocks is not evidence of an advanced civilization.

Both satellites deployed on target. Now firing their ion thrusters to reach geo station over Europe & Asia.

Another Easter Egg will be hidden in the Model S code in 2015. Last one took a year to find. Next one should be easier.

Right move is try both tunnels and flying cars. Otherwise, having 2D streets and 3D buildings means bad traffic forever.

Some people seem to think I tweet to affect share price. This is false. A brief rise in $TSLA stock obviously does no good for Tesla or me.

Maybe this is all the work of the Stonecutters! Certainly connects a lot of themes ... http://t.co/E5jJ9Snaca

Maybe it's wrong, but I really want to see mammoths http://t.co/enhMu5HYqr

SolarCity systems generated a new daily record of 4 gigawatt-hours this week http://t.co/7MFig1lMsF

Contrary to press reports, I'm not against flying cars. Just said it was important to consider both pros and cons.

Neither I nor the company are selling shares. Even if we were, I wouldn't do this. It would be wrong. Our long term results are what matter.

Battery pack swap is active between SF and LA and seems to be working well. Supercharging is the future, though, for non-commercial traffic.

With all that solar power being generated, it almost feels like something is needed to complete the picture ...

There is no slowdown of the Gigafactory construction underway, as anyone near Reno with eyes can verify. It's not subtle.

Thanks to everyone that supported Tesla in New Jersey! We couldn't have done it without you. http://t.co/swlApOg7vN

Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head

Next landing attempt will be 3rd launch from now. Tonight's flight and following one will not have enough propellant.
