I want to build something truly remarkable this year that the world hears of it in less than 2years

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🩵🤍 Leo Messi: “We know the World Cup is something special and it helps us forget, even for a while, all the hardships one goes through”.

“There are people without jobs, people who struggle to make it to the end of the month, who are fighting every single day”.

“We love to know they are happy”.

[Chino @ChinoUTD]

🚨 Aguero on Lionel Messi when Argentina are in trouble:

🗣️ Reporter:
“Why is Messi still so dangerous even when he isn’t the one scoring?”

🗣️ Aguero:

“Because his danger doesn’t end with him. When Argentina are in trouble, everyone watches Messi, but sometimes all he does is pass the ball.

Then something strange happens. A player who normally waste chances shoots first time. A shot that usually goes over the bar suddenly finds the goal.

Messi doesn’t only pass you the ball. Sometimes it looks like he passes you the confidence as well. For those few seconds, you become twice the player you were before he found you.”

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI. No company has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable and they will undoubtedly have Mythos 2 ready soon.

And I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor. That’s not my style.

Tesla open sourced its patents and we made the Supercharger network available to all competitors, even though we could have made it a walled garden.

SpaceX launches competing satellite systems with no increase in price or use of unfair terms.

Even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform.

My hot take is that people are actually marrying too late.

All things being equal, you should be married by 22/23.

Na economics dey make all these things take long.

And I have a few reasons.

1. If you are supposed to remain a virgin till marriage (for both sexes), then it is very unrealistic to expect someone who started puberty at 14-16, to wait another 15 years.

2. You are supposed to learn your spouse together in marriage. All your firsts, are supposed to be with your spouse. But when you have had too many relationships, it becomes really really hard to unlearn and relearn with your spouse. You become a collection of patterns and habits formed with different people, and your spouse bears the brunt of all those experiences

3. If you plan to have children, the earlier the better. But in terms of health, and in terms of longetvity. Having your first kid at 35, means that you will be attending their uni graduation at 50+, and if you have multiple kids, you might retire before you are done training the. Meanwhile, if you have your last kid at 35, you're esseentially done training your kids by 50+

So yes, marry early if possible

There is nothing you want to do outside marriage that you cannot do inside it.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

@nathanielblow Your question is more like an objective opinion and not a question.

The fact is that not all men are equal and same with football teams. It's not about Africa or anything

[Patrones Humanos @PatronesHumanos]

① Resolver problemas → Las empresas pagan por soluciones, no por tareas.

② Comunicar bien → Quien explica mejor sus ideas suele avanzar más rápido.

③ Saber utilizar IA → Multiplica tu productividad en casi cualquier trabajo.

④ Aprender rápido → La tecnología cambia demasiado deprisa para dejar de formarse.

⑤ Tomar decisiones → En un mundo lleno de información, decidir bien vale más que memorizar.

[Gad Saad @GadSaad]

Lionel Messi is by far the greatest player to ever play and the greatest player that could ever be. But more importantly than his otherworldly divine footballing talents is the manner in which he carries himself. He makes everyone want to emulate his humility and class. The love that people have for Messi stems from this dual combination: Divine talent coupled with indescribable humility.

Can you feel me?

@Arakunrin_emma The world is really not for the weak. These days, it's less physical strength and more mindset, philosophical and ideological battles

@ApostleNdifon Hello Dr Charles,
Could I send a message in your inbox?
I am interested in mentorship and learning from you.

We've met in one of your ministration here in Nigeria

@echo_vick Getting on the wait-list...

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

If you assume everything will work out in your favor, bizarrely, it probably will.

[John Cena @JohnCena]

Be aware that carelessness can compound faster than interest.

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

A man walks into a waiting hall with a woman. They both appear to be around the same age. Both wear matching gold rings on their left ring fingers. They enter holding hands, a toddler between them. He kisses her and leaves.

If Someone says they are married and you respond, “I didn’t literally hear him say she is my wife,” you are not being rigorous. You are being dishonest.

Suppose later the same day you see the same couple at a restaurant celebrating with friends and you ask one of the waiters “hey what are they celebrating over there” and the waiter says the couple in matching outfits is celebrating their second wedding anniversary. If you walk out still unconvinced because the man never explicitly said “she is my wife,” you are a fool.

This is the exact level of critical thinking behind this argument about Jesus not saying “I am God”. That it has survived this long is a massive indictment on the intellectual standards of everyone who repeats it. If I were Muslim, I would plead with Imams to retire it before it does further damage to the faith's credibility.

We live in a world governed by circumstantial evidence. The justice system convicts people who never admit guilt, on the basis of facts alone. A court doesn't need a killer to say “I did it.” It examines interlocking data points: DNA, cell tower pings, footage, motive, and timelines.

One piece of evidence can be contested. When fifty lock together, they form an inescapable net. To deny the conclusion because you lack a literal confession is a deliberate suspension of common sense.

And the irony cuts deep cos you guys are quick to claim Jesus was Muslim, when you don’t have a single verse where he says “I am Muslim.” The selective bias is shamefully demonic.

If we take the framework I’ve laid down into first-century Judea and look at the interlocking facts:

Jesus used the absolute "I Am" (Ego eimi), the exact phrasing Jews recognized as the divine name given to Moses at the burning bush. When he spoke it, they picked up stones. You do not stone a man for claiming to be a good teacher.

He stood before the Sanhedrin and told the high priest they would see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, coming on the clouds of heaven, drawing from Daniel 7, where the Son of Man receives everlasting dominion. The high priest tore his garments, the prescribed response to blasphemy.

He called himself Lord of the Sabbath, an institution YHWH established at creation. To claim lordship over it is to claim the authority of its author.

He forgave sins. Directly: “Your sins are forgiven.” The scribes responded: “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” They were theologically correct. He did not correct them.

These were men formed in the architecture of Jewish theology. They understood divine prerogative. Their repeated response was execution. You do not execute a man for blasphemy because he is a moral teacher. You execute him because he claimed what their tradition reserves for God alone.

The verdict does not require your agreement. It required theirs. And they gave it.

To look at all that evidence and say “he never claimed to be God” means you already made up your mind before reading. But at least be honest about it and retire the kindergarten logic.

[arnav @arnav_kumar]

Elon Musk may be remembered for electric cars, reusable rockets, AI, brain-computer interfaces, and perhaps one day, Mars.

But his greatest contribution may be a complete reset of human ambition.

He reminded an entire generation that it is still possible to attempt absurdly difficult things, risk public failure, and pursue goals measured in decades rather than quarters.

Whether his bets succeed or fail, he has expanded humanity's sense of what is worth trying.

Every generation inherits a ceiling on what it believes is possible.

Musk's greatest contribution to mankind will be that he has raised this ceiling a million miles higher.

Almost like the SpaceX Starship rocket lifting the collective ambition of mankind

[Olumide Adesina @olumidecapital]

Forget long talk, the true test of an ultra-rich man is the net worth of his lowest employee. King Solomon's boys rejected silver because their level of wealth in the palace was different. Elon Musk has shown that again

[Adam Shuaib @adamshuaib]

One of the worst predictors of founder success we've tracked is how well someone pitches; the correlation between pitch quality and outcome was actually negative.

Zuckerberg was so awkward in early investor meetings that VCs wondered if he could ever manage anyone, Larry Page refused interviews and earnings calls for years, and Jan Koum sold WhatsApp to Facebook for $19B as a Ukrainian immigrant with limited English.

Highly articulate people are great with the 45min process of telling a story to strangers, but this is a pretty different skill to building a company. Founders who spend years optimising to be persuasive have often optimised away from the building skills that compound over the 10yrs of execution that come afterwards; it’s incredibly hard to do both well. The articulate founder will impress your partners but the awkward one will return your fund.

[Suhail @Suhail]

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:

Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.
