I listened to 85 minutes of The Economist’s interview of Elon so you don’t have to. Besides, it’s behind a paywall.

Elon’s predictions: In five years, AI compute will exceed the sum of all human intelligence. In ten years, we will have reached the age of abundance. Money won’t matter. Everyone will have what they need or want (at least in economies that embrace AI).

Ms. Beddoes tried to pin Elon down on how the economy will transform that way, but he wouldn’t get into specifics beyond noting that widespread AI robotics is a deflationary force. This means governments won’t need to raise taxes for universal basic income schemes, or, as Elon likes to call it, universal high income, since they will simply be able to print money to ward off deflation caused by the robot economy.

She noted that Elon appears to have a more sanguine view of AI lately. He replied that he’s concluded superintelligent AI is now inevitable, so there’s no point trying to stop or slow it down, it can’t be done. We might as well enjoy the ride.

The interviewer also noted that Mars no longer seems to be Elon’s overall ambition. He answered that his real mission was always to propagate and preserve human consciousness into the far future. Mars was just a vehicle for that. But now AI is a very important part of that goal. AI will necessarily be part of any future plan.

And then came the oh-so-typical, increasingly tiresome part of most long journalist interviews: the interviewer constructs a straw-man version of Elon and argues against it. Elon carefully explained that he isn’t a raging far-right extremist, racist Nazi who kills puppies … and the journalist still didn't believe it. It is so effing tiresome.

The lack of self-awareness on the part of journalists is off the charts. She complained about Elon’s supposed misperception of how dangerous London is, while remaining oblivious to the role she plays in creating the giant misperception of Elon as a person in her own writing.

Elon defended his political views, saying he is for secure borders, locking up criminals, and balanced government spending, something even she had to admit didn’t sound crazy.

And… that’s about it for an 85-minute interview. I couldn’t help but think that the next long-form interview Elon does should be conducted by an AI.

Elon Musk in new interview: "One of the reasons I took @SpaceX public is so that the public could participate, so they could own a piece of SpaceX, whereas as a private company we're very limited in the number of shareholders we're allowed to have before going public; As a private company we're limited to just a few thousand shareholders."

The colors tonight took my breath away. The fully stacked Starship sits bathed in the light from its last sunset on Earth.

T- 21 hours until the launch window opens.

Je suis Français.

Et je préfère 100 fois Elon Musk et je lui fais 100 fois plus confiance que à nos politiciens corrompus jusqu’à la moelle pour défendre les démocraties en Europe.

Elon est un Occidental.

Nous allons bientôt ré-unifier l’Occident et chasser les idées globalo-communistes.

Et avoir une vraie renaissance.

Vive cette PLS intergalactique.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes

Yup

The public does not trust the legacy mainstream media for good reason

Amazing clip of Elon Musk shutting down a journalist who uses the term 'Far-Right'

"If you go back 10 or 15 years these were completely normal policies"

Secure borders
Safe cities
Sensible spending

"These are not far right, these are normal people"

This was 13yr ago now.

The parents of 9yr old Aaron Dugmore found him dead by suicide in his bedroom after constant bullying for being white by "Asian" bullies in Birmingham.

His family say that Aaron was threatened with a plastic knife by one "asian" pupil - who warned him: "Next time it will be a real one,"

Whites are a minority in Birmingham, England's second largest city.

This is the future for all if not reversed.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

France’s Transport Minister says Tesla FSD is not yet safe enough to be approved in its current form.

But in reality, Tesla FSD is safer than human driving.

• 12.1B+ miles driven with FSD
• 4.5B+ city miles driven
• 7x fewer major collisions than the U.S. average
• 7x fewer minor collisions
• 5x fewer collisions on non-highway roads
• Improves U.S. road safety by over 80%, reducing collisions caused by human error
• 32,000+ lives potentially saved per year
• 1,900,000+ injuries could potentially be avoided per year
• Tesla vehicles have earned 5-star safety ratings from NHTSA, Euro NCAP and ANCAP.

𝕏 just rolled out custom video thumbnails on iOS

Creators can now choose exactly how their videos appear in the timeline

You can:
• Upload a custom thumbnail
• Pick any frame from your video
• Edit it using 𝕏’s built‑in photo editor

A thumbnail is often the first thing people notice.
Giving creators control over it will make a meaningful difference in clicks, views, and overall engagement

This is another important update that makes publishing videos on 𝕏 much more creator‑friendly

SpaceX just completed TWO Falcon 9 launches in only 6 hours and 26 minutes…again

The first mission launched 24 Starlink satellites from California, one day after the previous attempt ended in a last-second abort during engine ignition

SpaceX returned the next day, successfully deployed all 24 satellites and safely landed the Falcon 9 booster on the droneship less than nine minutes after liftoff

Then another Falcon 9 launched from Florida, successfully deploying Northrop Grumman’s Mission Robotic Vehicle and three Mission Extension Pods into geosynchronous transfer orbit

The MRV is a robotic satellite-servicing vehicle designed to install life-extension pods and support inspection, relocation, repairs, upgrades and other in-orbit servicing

Two launches. Two coasts. All within less than seven hours

SpaceX’s launch cadence is operating at a level the rest of the industry is still trying to understand
