Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
It annoys me when people call young adults 'kids'.
A 20 year old is not a 'kid'. It's demeaning and a sign of how low societal expectations have fallen.
@UziCryptoo Same here man. I had to take my 3 year old 3 times (they screwed up the first 2 times) the last 7 days ($540) and my 8 month old and 6 year old today ($360). All the while paying $400 every month. It is a scam.
What's the chance of having Elon Musk do a virtual chat about rockets with my 5th grade deaf students who are studying space stuff? Like 1 in a million?
Every time I post about our family getting split up on a flight I’m told I didn’t pay enough for our seats or book far enough in advance.
But this is what Macaulay Culkin just posted.
It should not be legal for airlines to split up kids and parents on the same reservation.

Patriot airman Spencer Stone is a hero.
Bro… Elon just laid out the blueprint on how xAI and SpaceX are getting to 1,000+ gigawatts per year and beyond, in his closing statement at the xAI all-hands!
IMO, this is why there will be no competition in space.
1/ Earth Supercomputers (Now)
Build Memphis cluster to get us to >1 GW of power.
“We’re only right now using roughly one percent of the potential energy of Earth.”
Plan:
• 330,000+ Grace Blackwell GPUs
• ~1M H100-equivalent compute
• 1 gigawatt draw at full scale
• Built in <1 year
• Tesla Megapacks stabilizing energy
FYI, most AI companies are operating in hundreds of megawatts, yet xAI is already at a utility-scale gigawatt compute.
2/ Orbital Datacenters (Soon)
Get to 100-200 GW per year launched into orbit with a path to ~1 terawatt (1,000 GW) total from Earth launches.
“The next step beyond Earth data centers is our Earth orbital datacenters… launching at the 100-200 gigawatt per year level. Not cumulative, I mean per year.”
Benefits:
• Continuous solar exposure
• No land constraints
• No terrestrial grid bottlenecks
• Virtually unlimited horizontal expansion
FYI, 100–200 GW per year is equivalent to adding multiple large nation-scale grids annually.
3/ Moon Factories + Mass Driver (Mid Future)
Get to 1,000+ GW per year, several orders of magnitude beyond Earth.
“In order to do that you have to go to the Moon… We are actually going to have a mass driver on the Moon.”
Plan:
• Lunar factories build AI satellites
• Electromagnetic mass driver launches them without fuel
• Low lunar gravity reduces launch energy requirements
• Scales far beyond Earth’s physical constraints
FYI, this is when industrialized compute begins manufacturing off Earth.
4/ Solar System & Beyond (Long Term Future)
Today the sun outputs ~3.8 × 10²⁶ watts
“If we wanted to use even a millionth of the Sun’s energy, that would be roughly a million times more energy than civilization currently uses.”
This means
• 0.000001 of the Sun’s output
= ~1,000,000 × today’s global Earth energy usage. 🤯
“Earth is really a tiny, tiny dust mote in a vast darkness… The Sun is 99.8% of all mass in the solar system.”
To access that scale:
• Moon manufacturing
• Mars expansion
• Solar-orbit compute clusters
• Eventually tapping meaningful fractions of stellar output
So… the blueprint to get here is
1/ Start at 1 GW.
2/ Scale to 1 TW.
3/ Scale to 1,000+ GW per year.
4/ Then expand toward fractions of the Sun itself.
It’s clear that xAI + SpaceX is building the AI infrastructure and pathway to a stellar-scale energy civilization.
I really hope I’m still alive to witness all this.
🚨BREAKING: New leaks indicate Democrats are going ALL-IN on a Kamala Harris + AOC ticket for the 2028 presidency to the point where they aren't even considering backing another candidate.
The game plan is to fully embrace current Gen Z memes like "6-7."
