Elon Musk took to Twitter and declared Tesla is making its own smartphone. He didn’t explicitly announce it, saying they “should” do it, but if we’ve learned anything about Elon Musk over the last couple of years it’s that he doesn’t hint at anything unless it’s already happening.
Tesla should create its own smartphone. Your information will never be collected. Would you use it?
This came from his “parody” account, but it’s actually his account. And to answer his question, yes, people would use it… but he already knew that. The cult-like following of Tesla and Musk is similar to the cult-like following of Apple and Steve Jobs over a decade ago.

There’s a fact about Elon Musk that surprisingly few seem to know. He has a reputation of being a flamboyant and carefree rich guy who has ideas and tosses them up on Twitter to see what people think. The reality is that he is meticulous and plans out every move. By the time it makes it to Twitter to get “feedback,” he has already made his decision.
Case-in-point: buying Twitter itself. He seemed to randomly hop on Twitter one day and ask what should be done about the company over hot-button topics like censorship. On cue, the masses called on him to buy it. A few days later, he announced that he’d bought just under 10% of the company making him the biggest individual stock holder.
That’s what we’re supposed to believe. What he didn’t mention is that he had initiated the purchase of those shares three weeks before getting “feedback” about whether he should consider buying it or not. He’s meticulous. He just pretends to be random and whimsical.
Rumors started in 2021 that Tesla was considering a smartphone. They reemerged in recent weeks with the supposed phone being called the “Tesla Pi 5G” or some variation.
Considering Musk is pushing forward with both artificial intelligence and his Neuralink brain interface project, the prospects of a smartphone seem to be in line with his masterplan. And while some will herald it because they think he’s a good steward, I’m not convinced. In fact, I’ve been leaning more and more toward thinking he’s a shill or even a ringleader of the Globalist Elite Cabal.
Think what you will about Elon Musk and his “whimsical” Tweets but I’m fairly certain a Tesla smartphone is already in development.
I might buy one, I miss my flip phone and hate my current android phone.
I have an apple phone which may be better, but I have not used it yet cause I have only had it a few weeks
I really want a punkt phone, but they are overpriced

Apple and Samsung need some competitors that don’t track every move you make
Battery powered of course.
And it will weigh 10 pounds.................
I was just being sarcastic. LOL
At least that's how it works now with ICE drivers buying gas. There's a carbon tax that oil refineries have to pay unless they offset their refinery sins by paying indulgences known as RIN's (Renewable Identification Numbers, a much nicer sounding name than "carbon tax" or "carbon credits"). IIRC correctly, they can buy those at about 75 cents for every gallon of gas produced -- a cost passed on to consumers.

So was I!.....................😁
So the Elon Musk parody account is a sock puppet?
Looks so................
Maybe he will bypass google/androit and apple.
I’m beggin’ ya, Elon... Get the band back together ... That’ would be the Research In Motion band, and bring back BlackBerry.
It’s not a new phone that’s hard, it’s a new operating system.
And the trick would be to make all the Apps designed for both Android & Apple to also work on the new operating system. If anyone can do it it’s Elon, and if he does it he might become the world’s first trillionaire.
“Apple and Samsung need some competitors that don’t track every move you make”
That would be the original BlackBerry. It ended because it was too hard for government to spy on the citizens.
Given that he already has StarLink, it wouldn’t surprise me.
It would be extra fun if it’s internet worked everywhere with Starlink.
Watch....solar powered...set in on your windowsill..or car dash...
if it runs a de-spywared version of android or ios it’ll do well.
if it runs its own operating system its success will depend on app makers making apps that work on it.
T-Mobile said they were working with starlink to do just that. I wonder if Musk killed that deal to do his own thing. never really heard much about it since the announcement.
Mother Rucker once again reaching for his pearls of paranoia. And I know he lurks here after being banned what seems like ages ago.
You are always good for a laugh, JD. Get that through your tiny lesser hominid skull.
