Starlink Mobile (direct-to-cell) V2 satellites are incredible.
This @SpaceX constellation will enable more than 100 times the bandwidth of our current V1 system!
Michael Nicolls just just laid out SpaceX's ambition for connectivity that extends beyond Earth
“We will connect the Moon with a constellation, and then we will connect Mars”
"Our goal, again, is to extend consciousness beyond this planet, and we want to go and connect the Moon and Mars
But before that on Starlink, we're creating the technologies to connect the Moon with very high-bandwidth connectivity systems, very high-bandwidth lasers
And we will connect the Moon with a constellation, and then we will connect Mars, and we will form an interplanetary mesh of connectivity that is fundamentally driven by the same technologies we're working on with Starlink
To make this happen, SpaceX needs to keep improving safety in LEO so everyone can operate and scale safely”
Build safe, coordinated infrastructure in LEO first then extend connectivity and human presence to the Moon, Mars, and beyond
I love humanity… And I think that we should fight for a good future for humanity… We should be optimistic about the future, and fight to make that optimistic future happen"
I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birth rate and the rapidly declining birthrate… if people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble, mark my words.”

Elon Musk explains why Grok succeeding matters so much:
“The future is overwhelmingly AI and robots”
As AI becomes vastly smarter than humans, we may not simply be able to control it forever
It’s like raising a super-genius child:
You may not be able to control that child forever, but you can still instill the values and beliefs you want them to grow up with
That’s why getting SI right matters so much
The intelligence of tomorrow will inherit the values we give it today
That is why Grok succeeding matters far beyond just building a better SI model
