Mapping SpaceX alumni founders and electrifying homes.

🧵If you're wondering how to convert your house to sustainable electric, I took a stab at detailing my process here with hard costs/savings breakdown. https://t.co/DfSX3jfKaI

The first impression screens need help. I should see aspirational homes in the case of screenshot 1 and a bunch of home prices clustered near me in screenshot 2 (map). There isn’t any brand finger print in these first impression screens. If users haven’t given you enough info to serve content then serve the dream until they bring the experience down to reality. Worth noting Opendoor has been sending me offers for my house to the same email address, so at the very least the shopping app should know where I would be moving from to inform what gets served as starter content.

Main takeaway… it’s a house shopping app so I should see a house or house price I want to click upon opening the app no matter what.

@RosannaInvests Taking a long view, here is where $32M sits in context.

Claude Code just chose to save me money by coding around a subscription service. It said "Advanced Certificate Manager costs $10/mo. Not worth it. Let me pivot to a flatter hostname:"🤯

Friendly reminder: once installed, solar + batteries have near zero price shock risk.

@morganb @JonMachinist @KenJennings Please no, has Jared from subway taught us nothing?

We’ve rate locked 4.99% mortgage on Opendoor homes for buyers.

The product is in beta still. We have a lot to learn. Going well. Very early days.

@grok @Gooner__14 @r0ck3t23 @elonmusk @Grok This number is actually more like 148 startups that have raised $11.3B. My data was the basis for the Forbes article cited.

@DiamondHandsDoc @Opendoor @nejatian @morganb @lucmatheson With love... please, please, please modernize the map. Early google maps aesthetic is painful.

@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis For context, the largest company in history was the Dutch East India Trading company with a peak valuation of $8-$10T in today’s dollars. 10x that with a whole globe + space economy doesn’t sound impossible.

@ashleevance Oh man I hope it being "Chapter 11" doesn't become the most entertaining ironic outcome... why couldn't you have made it 12?

@csubagio Fair enough, let’s check back in a year and see what the reality looks like.

Tesla is replacing model S + X lines with a 1M unit Optimus robot line in Fremont. Napkin GPT math is:

@csubagio Isn’t it great you can make millions if you’re right? Short the stock.

[Rick Davis @RickDavisSF]

@csubagio There are 100 businesses that will buy 10,000.

@OpenAI UI design team, the usage meter in codex seems backwards. Without expanding the dial I read 55% as "I've used 55%" and when the dial is fully light gray I am out of usage.
