OpenClaw meetup. Gold Coast. This Thursday.

300+ tech founders, builders & developers already in. All using OpenClaw. Sharing what's working. Comparing notes in real time.

When everyone else thinks you're crazy for talking to your computer at 2am, it helps to be in a room full of people doing the same thing.

Complete novice? Come along. That's the whole point.

Q&As with builders who are deep in it. Short speaking session. But the best part is just getting operators in one room during the most exciting shift in tech I've seen in my career.

$50. Every cent to charity. Cali Beach Surfers Paradise

XAI PLANS TO FLOOD THE WORLD WITH MILLIONS OF DIGITAL HUMAN CLONES

xAI is building "human emulators" that mimic keyboard clicks mouse moves and screen decisions to automate any digital job a human does right now.

Just like Optimus handles physical tasks 24/7 at low cost, these virtual humans will do the same for desk work without needing software changes, just straight emulation.

I built Culture Kings because surfwear felt like dad gear. Years later I mention a 50 Cent concert in a staff meeting and someone goes “my dad’s going.” Fck. Clarity hit: cool decays. That’s why I sold part, diversified, and swung bigger for the US.

Wow

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.

The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.

Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.

However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.

If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.

And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.

Most people lose more money in opportunities they chose not to take than in the ones they took and failed.

These two 30-year-old Aussies built a $2.8B empire from their childhood bedrooms.

Ed Craven and Bijan Tehrani turned a RuneScape gambling ban into the world's biggest crypto casino.

Here's how they did it:

[Simon Beard @Simon_Beard1]

If you can take anything from their story is this:

Use everything.

Your biggest failure becomes your blueprint.
Your worst day becomes your best opportunity.
Your competition's weakness becomes your strength.

These two Aussies proved it at the highest level.
