the more i think about it, the more i'm convinced there's absolutely no way this is Elon's first time through this sim... there's no fucking way
the amount of context switching that man does—22 jobs, 12 kids, runs 6 companies and 1.5 countries, is sending us to Mars and is casually #1 in the world at Diablo
it doesn't matter the industry, Elon has likely touched it and helped shape it in some capacity
online payments, brains, solar, high-speed travel and infrastructure, electric cars, space exploration, video games, robotics and engineering, worldwide connectivity, artificial intelligence, politics, you name it
he's 1 person who isn't even 55 yo yet and you're telling me on his very first try he just plows through EVERY domain seamlessly without a single *real* failure
nah, i imagine he's done this several times which is why he's so good at it now—he blew by all the BS in his early days bc he'd been there before and knew his way through
this has to be the furthest he's ever gotten us...
WHAT OTHER EXPLANATION IS THERE 👽🦾
If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%!
Almost no one.
Jared Isaacman will make history as the youngest ever head of NASA when he assumes the role at 42 years old, breaking the previous record of 45 years set by Sean O'Keefe almost 25 years ago.
Hi @elonmusk, I just published episode 1,000 of Tesla Daily. I’ve been doing this every weekday since 2017 because I’ve believed in Tesla & its mission, and I didn’t think the media was sharing the truth.
Thanks for everything. We'd love to have you on the podcast sometime.
I’ve been fortunate to be born in this great country and to have the ball bounce my way more than a few times. But I didn’t grow up believing we should vilify success. If anything, I believed in working hard and earning the chance to achieve something meaningful. I dropped out of high school at 16, started a company to pay for rent and pizza, and would never have guessed that 25 years later, I’d employ thousands of people, create products that power the economy, help train our military--and pay a lot of taxes along the way.
It’s reasonable to expect everyone to pay their part—and some don’t—but the growing trend of treating success as a liability feels like a weight on innovation and job creation. We should encourage future entrepreneurs to be bold, chase the American dream, and build something great—not warn them that being too successful makes them part of the problem.
Wealth can fund material things—homes, sports teams, yachts, jets—and those all contribute to the economy. Some parlay those resources to start new companies, solve bigger problems and create more wealth for those around them. My companies alone have created hundreds of millionaires and I imagine Elon’s businesses have generated wealth for hundreds of thousands. Many who work hard and get lucky in life also direct their resources toward building hospitals, supporting universities, curing cancer, fighting hunger and generally just trying to leave the world a better place. So why is exploring space, unlocking the secrets of the universe, and making life better on Earth so often the butt of jokes or dismissed as frivolous?
Deploying private resources to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges shouldn’t be controversial. It’s an adventure that creates jobs, fuels innovation and advances society in ways that should inspire us all.
Pete Buttigieg: 1.2M EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2023.
Republican Senator Scott Perry: How many were government vs. private?
Buttigieg: As you know, more private citizens buy EVs than government purchases.
Perry: No, I don't know that. I don't think that's factually true.
🤦♂️
The U.S. government bought less than 10,000 EVs in 2023, or about 0.8% of the total lol.
