  "text": "If your CEO is literally riding in the passenger seat while the car drives itself around a major U.S. city, with no safety monitor in the vehicle, that’s about as bullish of a signal you can send to the market that autonomy is here and Tesla has solved it.\n\nThis is Elon Musk, in Austin, letting Tesla’s AI do 100% of the work, confident enough in the technology to remove the last human supervision inside the vehicle.\n\nWhat honesty makes this moment special to me is how long it’s been coming.\n\nTesla first talked about full autonomy back in 2016, when FSD was introduced as a long-term software promise. Since then, we’ve had\n• years of real world data collection\n• multiple hardware generations\n• vision only going against industry consensus of LiDAR\n• endless doubt and skepticism, delays, and “it’ll never work” headlines\n\nThis is nearly a decade of hard work and intelligent iterations to reach this moment.\n\nWhen the person with the most to lose is willing to trust the system with his own life, this debate now ends overnight. We’ve been waiting for this day for almost 10 years… \n\nElon may not always be on time, may be very optimistic at times, but he and his team always delivers. \n\nDamn, it feels good to be a retail Tesla investor.",
