Since 2008, $15B taxpayer dollars have been invested in California High Speed Rail. There is no working track and zero passengers so far.
In the same time frame $12B in private funds were invested in SpaceX pre IPO.
SpaceX has 10,000 Starlink satellites serving 10 million customers and has taken 74 passengers into orbit.
Politicians tell you they’ll do better with Elon’s money than he does. California shows the truth.
Jensen Huang on Elon’s vision for humanoid robots:
Elon has said there could eventually be one humanoid robot for every person
Jensen Huang’s response?
“I’m hoping more”
He believes even that estimate may be too conservative
“There’s going to be a whole bunch of robots in factories working around the clock”
“Almost everything will be robotic”
Today, the world is already facing a massive labor shortage
“We’re millions of people short in labor today. We are desperate for robotics so companies can grow”
This isn’t just about replacing repetitive work
It’s about enabling industries to scale beyond the limits of human labor
The robot revolution won’t be measured in millions
It will likely be measured in billions
Am converted. Just drove from south San Francisco through Oregon without touching my steering wheel. Tesla full self drive is both magical and life changing, relaxing and maybe even life saving! Thank you @elonmusk for the technology!
Asmongold reacts to Pew Research's quiz revealing that 97% of r/politics users lean left with nearly half being the furthest left counted on the poll
"I feel like nobody's surprised..the reason why politics is like this and reddit is like is bc they literally ban everybody else..reddit is intentionally censored and it's been like that for a long time"
Better just to send money directly to the people from the Treasury.
So long as the increase in goods & services exceeds the increase in the money supply, which will be the case with AI & robots, there will not be inflation.
In fact, my prediction is that we will desperately be fighting deflation!

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: Elon Musk officially entered the canon of the greatest inventors, builders and capitalists not only of our time but arguably of humankind. What a time to be alive. What an extraordinary era to build, writes @EliseStefanik.

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.
Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.
Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.
As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”
Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.
Time to choose your side.
