@brian_armstrong "Derivatives on Apple, Amazon, and big tech"? Nice story. But if it’s not 1:1 backed by real underlying assets, it’s not a derivative—it’s just an uncollateralized token printed out of thin air.
@elonmusk@Geiger_Capital "Other countries can't replicate the US. It was built on raw self-selection: top talent mixed with tough outcasts. Closed, monolithic states decay because they block fresh blood, brains, and innovation. Driven, high-risk migrants simply don't move to insular societies."
@elonmusk@aaronburnett Solving long-run cryogenic transport and hurricane-resistant infrastructure will separate Starbase from a mere test site into a true interplanetary logistics hub.
@elonmusk@aaronburnett Scaling to industrial launch cadences means rethinking spaceport engineering. Moving bulk propellant storage to stable high ground and piping cryogens to the pads avoids building heavy industrial plants directly on unstable marshland.
@elonmusk@aaronburnett The Buffer Dilemma: Pipeline delivery ensures continuous feedstock, but launching every 80 seconds demands massive local cryogenic buffer farms capable of instantaneous high-pressure loading.
@elonmusk@aaronburnett Zero Premixing: Propellants are never stored or mixed together beforehand; they travel via isolated dual-feed systems and meet only inside the Raptor combustion chambers.
@elonmusk@Teslaconomics It will be fascinating to watch Grok-Bot evolve, especially how it handles finances and—most importantly—manages not to screw up.
@elonmusk@KanekoaTheGreat Amazing scale and progress. Louisiana is getting high-end aerospace jobs and developing local specialists right where it happens. Respect to Elon Musk."
@Core_002 You can issue a trillion if no one buys them in such quantities. The value is not in the volume that is printed, but in the limited quantity.
