250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America.
Happy 4th of July from the White House. 🇺🇸
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability. There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his signature, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial.
GRAN MEJORA EN ADUANA. Hemos comentado aquí que muchas operaciones aduaneras, por distintos motivos, requerían para sacar la mercadería la constitución de una garantía que se integraba con un seguro. La Resolución 5842/26 de @ARCA_informa permitió que, para quien opera normalmente en comercio exterior, pueda suplir la garantía simplemente llenando una declaración jurada. Esto representa una baja gigantesca de costos, trámites y sobre todo elimina la posibilidad de pedirte una "ayudita" para dar de baja la garantía (que operaba como un taxi mensual). Pues, en pocos días ya el 60% de las garantías se integran con estas DDJJ. La baja de la corrupción sistémica es esto, y nadie lo está empujando más que el presidente @JMilei. De hecho, esto, ¿cuántos años llevaba? VLLC!
Gracias Andres Vázquez y Andrés Velis de @ARCA_informa por este cambio. En @MinDesreg_Ar gracias a @Eugenio__Mari y @CamiRiancho00!
Elon Musk literally sat down for a 45-minute talk with Y Combinator that explains how to build world-changing companies better than any business school on earth. This is the advice he gave a room full of young founders:
1. Don't try to build something great. Try to build something useful.
Everyone obsesses over greatness. Musk says that's the wrong target. "I didn't originally think I would build something great. I wanted to try to build something useful. I didn't think I would build anything particularly great. Seemed unlikely, but I wanted to at least try." Aim for useful first. Greatness, if it comes, is a byproduct.
2. When you can't get in the front door, build your own door.
Before Musk started his first company, he tried to get a job at Netscape. "I sent my resume into Netscape and nobody responded. I tried hanging out in the lobby to see if I could bump into someone, but I was too shy to talk to anyone. So I'm like, this is ridiculous, I'll just write software myself." He didn't set out to be a founder. He became one because no one would hire him.
3. He slept in the office and showered at the YMCA.
The origin of his first company was not glamorous. "We couldn't even afford a place to stay. The office was 500 bucks a month, so we just slept in the office and showered at the YMCA." He couldn't afford proper internet either, so he drilled a hole through the office floor and ran a cable to the internet provider downstairs. That was the founder of the future richest man on earth.
4. Keep the chips on the table.
When Musk sold his first company, he received a $20 million cheque. His bank balance went from $10,000 to $20 million overnight. Most people would have stopped. He put almost all of it straight back into his next company. "I kept the chips on the table." He did the same thing decades later, over and over. He hates money sitting idle. Money is fuel for the next mission.
5. Start with the mission, then work backwards to make it a business.
Musk didn't start SpaceX to make money. He went on the NASA website to find out when humans were going to Mars, and there was no plan. So he decided to build one. "There had been no prior example of a rocket startup succeeding. A small chance of success is better than no chance of success." The mission came first. The business model came later.
6. He started SpaceX expecting to fail.
He is brutally honest about the odds. "SpaceX started in mid-2002 expecting to fail. Probably 90% chance of failing. When recruiting people, I said, we're probably going to die, but small chance we might not die." The first three launches failed. The fourth one worked with no money left. "If the fourth launch hadn't worked, it would have been curtains. We made it by the skin of our teeth."
7. Break every problem down to physics.
This is the core of how Musk thinks. "First principles means break things down to the fundamental elements that are most likely to be true, then reason up from there, as opposed to reasoning by analogy." His example is rockets. Everyone priced them based on what old rockets cost. Musk asked what a rocket is actually made of, priced the raw metals, and found the materials were only 1-2% of the historical price. The rest was inefficiency he could attack.
8. When told something takes 24 months, break it down and do it in six.
Last year xAI needed a giant computer to train its AI. Suppliers said it would take 18 to 24 months. "It's like, well, we need to get that done in six months or we won't be competitive." So he broke it into parts. Needed a building, so he found an old factory. Needed power, so he rented generators. Needed cooling, so he rented a quarter of America's mobile cooling capacity. He slept in the data centre and ran cabling himself. It got done.
9. Watch your ego-to-ability ratio.
Musk's single sharpest piece of advice for young founders is about staying honest with yourself. "A major failure mode is when your ego-to-ability ratio gets too high. Then you break the feedback loop to reality." Keep the ego small, internalise responsibility for everything, and stay ruthlessly connected to what's actually true. "You want to close the loop on reality hard. That's a super big deal."
10. Chase work, not glory.
His closing philosophy ties it all together. "It's so hard to be useful. The area under the curve of total utility is how useful you've been to your fellow human beings times how many people. If you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher. Don't aspire to glory, aspire to work."
He was ridiculed for years. The press called him "internet guy attempting to build a rocket company." He agreed it sounded absurd. He did it anyway, because a small chance of doing something useful beat no chance at all.
Here's the thing though....
Musk became the most followed founder alive because everything he does happens in public. The launches, the failures, the talks like this one. The companies made him powerful. The personal brand made his every word travel around the world before he finishes saying it.
We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger.

CON MILEI CHAU PAPEL. Mucha gente firma los documentos electrónicos simplemente escribiendo su nombre en el mismo (y alcanza). Otras empresas te permiten lo mismo, pero verificando tu identidad en cada firma (por ejemplo, Contractia, https://t.co/PEKTFFla2t, o Signatura https://t.co/OVkH8Z2CZc) proveyendo métodos robustos para identificar al que firma y que no han tenido problemas de validación legal. En unas semanas el Colegio de Escribanos de CABA, habilitará una plataforma de firma ológrafa pero digital, de acceso gratuito y universal.
A su vez, nuestra vieja Ley de Firma Digital 25.506, le da un lugar privilegiado a las firmas emitidas con un certificado digital. Luego de muchos años, el Decreto 743/24 del presidente @JMilei habilitó la emisión de ese certificado de manera remota, es decir para que uno pudiera hacerla totalmente desde su casa u oficina.
Hoy es un buen momento para repasar donde estamos porque ya tenemos cuatro alternativas muy fáciles que te permiten hacer ese tipo de firma de manera totalmente remota.
Te paso cuatro alternativas disponibles hoy para firma digital emitidas con certificado digital (quizás haya más que desconozca):
1. Provincia de Córdoba (aclaración: no necesitas estar en ni ser de Córdoba). Te registras en CIDI (https://t.co/bZlVu3nakr), validas tus datos en una app (fotos y DNI) y listo: podes firmar todo lo que quieras, incluso invitar a otra gente a firmar tus documentos. Totalmente gratuito.
2. LAKAUT SA. (https://t.co/I6lS5Ptfyd) Más o menos lo mismo. Te registras, te validas (vas a escanear un QR y te pide fotos del DNI y fotos). En cada firma pones un pin y te manda un token a tu celular. Tenes un número de firmas gratis y luego un pago por cada una extra.
3. ENCODE SA. (https://t.co/pj9baLY88E) Te registras y te validas. Te va a pedir bajar una aplicación (FreeOTP) que te va dando un token dinámico para cada firma. Con eso ya podes firmar. También, tenes un uso gratis y luego pagas.
4. Digilogix SA (https://t.co/hnmIeswUxJ), igual a Encode excepto que el token dinámico lo haces con Google Authenticator (un generador de tokens dinámicos en el celular). También, permite un uso gratuito y luego pago.
Vale la pena explorar tanto las alternativas de firma electrónica como las digitales para tu operación comercial o personal. Lo cierto es que ya no es necesario ir a firmar un contrato (por ejemplo, un contrato de alquiler), lo haces por una de estas vías y ya. Es decir, que ya sea porque usas la firma electrónica o la digital, no hay motivos para tener papeles físicos para ningún documento. En otras palabras, si usas papel es porque querés.
Con cualquiera de estas herramientas quedada saldada el objetivo de pasar la economía del papel al formato digital. Representa un cambio de productividad central en ese proceso de transformación arrollador que impulsa el presidente @JMilei.
Espero muchas provincias imiten lo que hizo Córdoba, que otros colegios profesionales imiten lo que pronto anunciará el Colegio de Escribanos de CABA. Y que muchas más empresas se sumen al ecosistema tanto de firma electrónica como digital. El tiempo del papel llega a su fin. VLLC!
This comforting dish is a classic example of simple Greek home cooking. Made with sweet peas, tender potatoes, fresh dill, and rich olive oil, it's a nutritious and flavorful meal that many Greek families grew up eating. Many families also add carrot...
Es impresionante como el @INPI_Argentina con @JMilei ha mejorado el tiempo de registración de marcas. Líderes mundiales. Consultan de todo el mundo. Felicitaciones @CharlieMGallo!
Gracias @PatoBullrich por empujar cada uno de los proyectos del Ejecutivo. Un orgullo que el Congreso discuta una ley de sociedades por primera vez en la historia. Y una tan innovadora y con visión de futuro como esta. Gracias @PauTaddei y @chuleramirez por acompañarme.
