from The James Perspective · host James Wilkerson

On today’s episode, we discuss Elon Musk’s new Starlink Mini, how a dish barely larger than an iPad can give truly mobile satellite internet from your driveway to your dashboard, and why the guys want it mounted on their cars and future Cybertrucks. From there, they pivot to Tesla updates, supply chain delays, and how a supposedly firm delivery window slipped—confirming Mark’s prediction that logistics crunches don’t care what the app promises. The conversation widens into energy markets, examining how a short Middle East war and risk-driven insurance costs can spike global oil prices in just two weeks, even when U.S. supply is strong. They also wrestle with reports of a possible strike on an Iranian school, talking about “fog of war,” dual-use military facilities, and what Trump likely does and doesn’t know yet. In the closing segment, the crew returns to robotics and autonomy, contrasting frozen Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco with Tesla’s constantly learning fleet “hive mind,” and arguing that resistance to self-driving often comes down to habit more than actual performance. Throughout, they mix futurist enthusiasm with practical business wins—like simple website tweaks that doubled legal leads—and plenty of jokes about becoming reluctant social influencers in an AI-powered, always-connected world. Don't miss it!
