Elon didn’t start SpaceX to build a rocket company:
“The original vision for SpaceX was not to start a launch company. Elon’s original goal was to increase NASA’s budget, and he was willing to just burn 100 million dollars on a philanthropic mission to display a greenhouse on Mars.
Shooting a greenhouse to Mars with existing rocket technology, get this photo on the front page of every paper. A little plant on the red planet, the first time life had transferred to another planet.
That’ll probably increase NASA’s budget and spur this wave of exploration and interest in space.
When he tried to do that, he discovered that the space launch market was so expensive and un-innovative and hadn’t been moving forward.
That’s actually how he discovered the opportunity to start SpaceX. That’s what’s actually going to move this market forward.”
After a car accident left her paralyzed from the neck down, Audrey didn’t think she would be able to draw or paint again.
20 years later, she became the first female participant in our clinical trials. Now, she uses her brain-computer interface to create art with her mind.
The answers to many modern problems are simple but politically incorrect.
So instead of solving anything, everybody pretends they don't know what's going on, and spend years misdiagnosing the issue, talking in circles, and wasting time.
Our robot is designed to insert hundreds of ultra-fine, flexible threads with thousands of electrodes within microns of targeted neurons while avoiding vasculature and adapting to real-time brain motion.
Watch how perfectly Tesla FSD (Supervised) handles all these pedestrians and bikers on narrow roads in Amsterdam, the biking capital of the world. It's a thing of beauty. Lot of fun to watch all these FSD videos coming from the Netherlands.
Last night I spoke with Brad Smith @ALScyborg, the first person with ALS to have @neuralink implanted. He has his voice back through AI and can even make dad jokes again. Absolutely incredible technology changing lives and bettering humanity. Thank you @elonmusk!
Musk is throwing $25 billion at a single chip factory. TeraFab. Biggest industrial bet anyone's ever made, and the numbers don't work according to pretty much every analyst who's looked at them.
Meanwhile one company in a small Dutch town — ASML — still makes the only lithography machines that actually matter. But Musk isn't trying to beat TSMC at their own game. The play is collapsing the whole design-to-packaging loop so Tesla can iterate on silicon 5 to 10 times faster than everyone else. That gap gets wider every cycle. Everyone else is still buying general-purpose chips off the shelf.
