Next week's SpaceX IPO is called the biggest in history.
I think analysts are missing the actual story.
Elon Musk isn't building a rocket company. He's building something much more interesting: a way to send human consciousness to the stars.
Phase 4 — MARS (2065 → 2090). A robotic Mars base goes operational before any human sets foot there. The real population of Mars is consciousness, projected into Optimus bodies via Neuralink. A colonist on Earth puts on a headset and spends a shift on Mars.
What if every Musk company — SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, xAI, Boring Co., Starlink, Optimus — is a necessary component of a single 100-year system whose purpose is to encode, transmit, and re-embody human minds at the speed of light?
SpaceX is one of eight companies Musk runs. Why does a rocket company need a brain-implant company? Why does a car maker need an AI lab?
I went looking for answers. Here's what I found.
I create visual explanations of tech and business projects.
I’m working on one now, explaining the upcoming SpaceX IPO. (Expected to be the biggest IPO in history.)
I’d appreciate your help in picking the best color scheme for social media.
Which version do you prefer?
I just backed Info We Trust, a data-graphics book on @Kickstarter https://t.co/bkvwldMB4r
If you like data visualization, history, and causes worth supporting, this is a good one. @infowetrust
@nathanbaugh27 JK Rowling created the Harry Potter books in a similar visual way, as did JRR Tolkien with Fellowship of the Ring. Jack Kerouac drew a mandala for “On the Road.” Visual structures are the core language of world building. Words are then used to narrate the journey through.
Take this time to sharpen your edge.
Consider writing your book.
In a world of more noise than signal, nothing cuts through like being an author.
There is no better way to differentiate yourself as a professional in the market. And there is no better time than now.
So @Newsweek wrote this article that San Francisco is dead. It's not a bad article; it's well-researched, avoids the usual political nonsense, and feels like a pretty balanced views on the realities here. Still, remember this from 2.5 years ago:

@PIVOT_inc_ Thank you Pivot! It was great to share VISUAL STORYTELLING with your Japanese audience.
From Hokusai to Miyazaki, from manga to model-building, Japan is a world leader in visual story culture; I loved every minute I got to spent in Tokyo.
