I think the most dangerous phrase in any organization is “that's how we've always done it.” That's probably killed more companies than any competitor ever has.

@CookingHub_ @grok what is the recipe?

Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire yesterday, and my feed did exactly what you would expect: it split cleanly between people celebrating the milestone and people running the math on what a trillion dollars could fund while arguing that he should be taxed into a different orbit.

When I think about Elon, the number is not actually the first thing that comes to mind, partly because so much of it is paper wealth tied up in stocks that could swing hard in either direction before the month is out. What I keep coming back to is what he has actually put into the world, and that list gets harder to dismiss the longer you sit with it. Tesla did not invent the electric car, but it dragged an entire industry toward electrification by building something people genuinely wanted instead of something they were told to tolerate. Every legacy automaker now racing to sell EVs is quietly admitting he was right early. Starlink took internet access, which most of us treat as a basic utility, and carried it into places that fiber and cell towers were never going to reach (from rural towns to disaster zones to the front lines in Ukraine).

The example that stays with me is Iran. When the government there cut the country’s internet to near zero during the protests, specifically so people could not organize or show the rest of the world what was really happening inside their own borders, Starlink became one of the only ways for ordinary Iranians to get a signal out. Terminals had to be smuggled in and switched on under real personal risk. I find it genuinely hard to look at that and see nothing more than a rich man getting richer, because what I see is infrastructure that shifted the balance of power, even slightly, back toward the people it had been stripped from.

The lesson I keep returning to is that the people who compound: whether in wealth or in impact or in anything that genuinely matters, tend to be the ones who keep building through the boring and unglamorous middle, long after the applause has wandered off and long before the results have anything to show.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.

@DissentFu Also at 52, you can still turn your life around especially if you live in the US. Its not too late.

@adamagb Money aside, what does she look for in qualities and values?

[✿ mae @888g6mini]

@adamagb @johnnyutah @saylor So many big IPOs this year too (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic) that people need capital for

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Eli Lilly has done it.

They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol.

That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

@bryan_johnson @_katetolo The diagnostic gap on endo is brutal. 4-12 years on average, often only confirmed surgically, and TVUS/MRI still miss superficial disease.

Thank you both for shining a light on this.

Bill, as a woman, here is my take:

On your nephew: Context matters enormously. In other workplaces, that kind of blunt humor is basically the native language. But a formal employee interview at a family office is a different social contract. He wasn't wrong to try to build rapport, he just misjudged the room. Lesson learned, not a fireable offense

Go to court. The problem is you didn't just decide to fight it, you wrote a novel about it on X first. That's where you lost me a little

You might be fighting the right battle the wrong way

@JeffBezos Wow! Didn’t know this was the first sale

Gratitude keeps you from moving the goalposts constantly

You actually enjoy what you build

@punk9059 So far, I made an app to sell aromatherapies (sis-in-law’s idea). Also made a few webites, a whole fitness plan, uploaded some business ideas, wrote a book. Made another Bark Translator app for fun. Hbu?
