History won’t remember the people who said it couldn’t be done.

It will remember the people who did it anyway.

Congratulations Elon.
The first trillionaire. 🚀

China built a 984-foot “horizontal skyscraper” linking four towers 820 feet up, and the about 13,200-ton structure turns architecture into a balance test https://t.co/sw9zuNNeFW

This is a 3D billboard on a Bank of China building in a city in China. Using an optical illusion, it makes the building look like it is wrapped in metallic ripples and being distorted, creating a stunning dynamic visual effect.

You can’t imagine how fast Chinese humanoid robots are evolving.

In just one year, they have evolved from robots to "humans".
