Two Weeks in Musk World

First off happy belated birthday to Elon Musk who turned 48 on June 28th. Sorry Elon next year I'll send a card..

Tesla's Model S gets the ultimate award from MotorTrend being named the best car of the last 70-years. And Jay Leno is a big fan of Tesla. Positive reviews and awards like this are a big reason why Tesla doesn't even need to advertise. Think of it no advertising at all and Telsa's market share of EV's in the US jumped from 68% of the market in Q1 2019 to 77% in Q2 2019. The 95,200 cars delivered in Q2 also represent another production high in the evolution of the company.

Meanwhile Tesla's autopilot may reach 2 BILLION miles driven before the end of the year. Amazing when it basically didn't exist before Tesla introduced in to the masses. From science fiction to the Model 3 potentially being the first fully autonomous vehicle. Amazing progress!

In SpaceX news Elon says major Starship engine bug has been fixed. And SpaceX also captured its first rocket fairing. Here's what that means and why it is so damn cool.

Finally - out of nowhere came a Neauralink announcement. What's Neauralink you ask? Only Elon Musk's newest and most ambitious company yet (which is really saying something).
