Mostly true. What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies.

We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks.

The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason.

Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX.

Starlink powers the world’s biggest satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.

What does that mean for you? We're rolling out the world’s fastest, most reliable high-speed inflight Wi-Fi now — with waaaaay more on the horizon. By the end of this year, we expect that 880+ United planes will have @Starlink on board. And it's free for MileagePlus members.

Release the Henry Nowak police body camera footage so people can see what real systemic racism looks like.

They let an innocent kid bleed out over it.

Anything less is unacceptable.

Been using Grok Build these past few days, and the thing that really got me hooked is Imagine and Imagine Video.

I built a full dinosaur encyclopedia site — every image, every video clip on it, all generated by Grok itself. One prompt: "build a dinosaur encyclopedia site, generate matching images and videos, add them in" — visuals, video, copy, layout, the whole thing done in one flow. No jumping between a dozen tools.

It's perfect for building science and education sites for kids — dinosaurs, space, animals, history, geography… Grok generates vivid visuals and videos that make knowledge way easier to grasp, more visual, more fun.

Below is a common error.

Here are the facts: Dr. Andrew Baker, the Chief Medical Examiner for Hennepin County (who was the only person that conducted the autopsy of George Floyd) did not agree with the prosecution’s evolving theories of the cause of Floyd’s death.

He did not find that Floyd died from a vascular restraint (blood choke), which was the prosecution’s theory at the beginning of trial.

And he did not agree that Floyd died of positional asphyxia, which became the prosecution’s fall back theory when, in the middle of trial and to prosecutors’ utter surprise, their blood choke theory imploded in real time (due to it being physiologically impossible to kill somebody by compressing only one of their carotid arteries).

Baker’s autopsy provided zero evidentiary support for everything the prosecutors wanted the jury to believe.

But it’s worse than that. Baker also found a lack of evidence where one would expect to find evidence had the prosecution’s theories been correct. Baker called this absence of evidence the “pertinent negatives,” and they all - ALL - worked against the prosecution.

Elon Musk on why humanity must become multiplanetary:

“I think it's important for the long-term preservation and ultimately the expansion and extension of the scope and scale of consciousness... that we must become a multi-planet species

Because there are all these risks that we can't control existential risks. There's asteroids, super volcanoes, we could have a World War III... History does not suggest that civilization lasts forever”

Elon is optimistic about the future, but he is also realistic

Civilization has survived so far but history shows that catastrophic events eventually happen. The only chance is becoming a multi-planet species

"Elon Musk still works incredibly hard. I visited him recently, I left around midnight and he was still working. I think he must have gone till 2am. So I don't know anybody who works as hard as him. He's really in the technical details of it."

Elon Musk’s goal for The Boring Company is to solve one of the most miserable daily experiences on Earth: traffic

Cities are three-dimensional

But transportation is still mostly trapped in a two-dimensional surface network

Roads, intersections, bottlenecks, traffic lights, accidents, construction, weather - everything gets stacked on the same flat layer until the entire system chokes

The Boring Company’s answer is simple but radical: Go underground

Build fast, low-cost tunnel networks under major cities and turn transportation into true 3D infrastructure

Right now, the focus is on making tunneling dramatically faster and cheaper with machines like Prufrock, which is designed to mine continuously while installing tunnel liner at the same time

But the long-term vision goes much further

Local Loop tunnels could move people across cities without surface traffic, while future Hyperloop-style systems could connect entire cities at ultra-high speed

Imagine going from Los Angeles to San Francisco, New York to Washington D.C., or Dubai to Abu Dhabi in a fraction of today’s travel time - underground, electric, direct, and protected from surface congestion

That is the real mission: Building the missing third dimension of transportation

This is how you actually attack soul-destroying traffic at civilization scale
