- Elon has postponed his April 21st - 22nd visit to India.

What ever those obligations are, they have stopped what many thought would be the announcement of a factory in India.

- Elon says FSD in China may be possible very soon.

- Tesla China is celebrating 10 years since the first-ever delivery of Tesla Model S in China.

- Tesla was at the Cybertakeover event this weekend doing recall fixes on Cybertrucks. Was about a 10 second fix.

- Tesla has eliminated its 40 person U.S. growth and advertising team, including Alex Ingram, (@Alex_M_Ingram). Some layoffs also took place at the Tesla Design Studio in Hawthorne. Per Elon, "The ads were far too generic – could’ve been any car."

■ SPACEX:

- Last Thursday, Launch 41 of Falcon 9 Starlink 6-52 took place from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. This was the seventh flight for the booster. It previously launched ESA Euclid, Ax-2, Ax-3, CRS-30, and two Starlink missions. The booster landed on drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean. 23 Starlinks were deployed. This was the 40th Falcon 9 launch and landing of the year, and it is only April!

- More Vertical Tank removal at the Orbital Launch Pad started Saturday. Awesome pic by Base Camp Zero (@clwphoto1).

- Starfactory is getting the glass installed on the front main corner off Hwy 4. Going to look very cool! Pic via @LabPadre's live feed.

- Friday, SpaceX has filed a second lawsuit challenging the U.S. National Labor Relations Board's structure, but this time in Waco, Texas. This, after a federal appeals court refused to stop a nearly identical case filed by SpaceX in Brownsville from being sent to California. SpaceX still claims NLRB administrative judges and the board's five presidentially-appointed members violate the U.S. Constitution.

- As reported a week ago, it looks more and more likely that SpaceX will end up using Marmac 305 or 306 for their 4th droneship. Marmac 305 was completed last year and Marmac 306 was launched last week.

- NASA's new render of the Starship Human Landing System (HLS) shows it unloading three lunar vehicles from one ship.

Countdown to 144 (40- Falcon 9, 0 - Falcon Heavy, and 1 - Starship):

  • Launch 42! Tuesday, the 23rd of April, at 6:15 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 Starlink 6-53 will launch from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The booster will land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

WorldView Legion is a constellation of Earth observation satellites built and operated by Maxar. The constellation is planned to consist of 6 satellites in both polar and mid-inclination orbits, providing 30 cm-class resolution. The booster will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg.

  • Launch 44! Friday, the 26th of April, at 6:40 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 Starlink 6-54 will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The booster will land on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Launch 45! Sunday, the 28th of April, at ??? ET, Falcon 9 2xGalileo will launch from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

The €10 billion project is named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. This will be the 20th and final flight for Booster B1060. It will be expended for this mission.

■ THE BORING COMPANY:

- Joe's flyover at Giga Texas shows crews are installing the gantries in the completed tunnel sections and onto the Prufrock-3. Per Joe, "TBM is about 80-100 meters into the ground now. This is a significant development." Check out Joe's video for more info.

■ STARLINK:

- Mareleng completes another installation of Starlink. "A game changer for those looking to stay connected while on vessels all over the world."

■ X:

- X Developer Challenge this past Saturday! Per Elon, "The software must have exactly 420 lines of code on this auspicious day..." Per Linda Yaccarino, "We’re building the future with the future — let the challenge begin!!! Over the next two days, X is hosting a coding event for 100 engineers to showcase their skills and creativity."

One of the challengers created Snapchat maps but for tweets. Vedant (@vedantapps) created a way to visually see where people are posting and explore regions around the world.

Santiago Medina (@santiagomedr) and his team got 3rd place by building a feed filtering feature, which cleans or re-prioritizes your feed based on a user prompt. "Used Python bindings to locally call the moondream2 Rust implementation I wrote a a few weeks ago. Mapped images to natural language and then used Grok API for X post classification."

Andrew Gao (@itsandrewgao) developed a program to turn any tweet into an AI video in any language. "TikTok but on X. Uses Grok."

The winners of the X Developer Challenge. Per Elon, "Nice work by several teams."

- Per Elon, "Any accounts doing engagement farming will be suspended and traced to source. We will use Grok to detect, remove and trace to source the engagement farming spam." This brought on a slew of questions as to what engagement farming is and if we will get clarity. X giving clarity is a rarity.

- The Australian eSafety Commissioner ordered X to remove posts in Australia that publicly commented on the recent attack against a Christian Bishop. These posts did not violate X’s rules. X complied, but will challenge the legality. Now, the eSafety Commissioner has threatened X to remove the posts worldwide or face a daily fine of $785,000 AUD ($500,000 USD). The eSafety Commissioner does not have the authority to dictate what content X’s users can see globally. Per X, "Global takedown orders go against the very principles of a free and open internet and threaten free speech everywhere. We will robustly challenge this unlawful and dangerous approach in court."

- X engineering interns.

- X now has a Money Transmitter License in Tennessee. Per Christopher Stanley (@cstanley) "Not just tipping. I can pull money into X and store it in my X Wallet and send money to any X Payments user. Think Venmo at first. Then, as things evolve, you can gain interest, buy products, eventually use it to buy things in stores (think Apple Pay), etc. The end goal is if you ever have any incentive to take money out of our system, then we have failed, you shouldn’t ever need to take money out because you should be able to do anything you need on our platform."

- X has started promoting creator subscriptions.

- X Conferences on X spaces is in being worked on.

■ xAI:

- Elon has stated the Grok will soon be integrated into your Tesla.
