The Timeline you’re reading now would be shocking to the person you were 5 years ago.

And 5 years from now, the Timeline you’re reading today will seem quaint.

No, you don't get it.

He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.

To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.

Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".

$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12

If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.

But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

Random Saturday thoughts while writing GMI:

We are all the same intelligence (it's Universal) but with different soul.md files and different skills files.

The underlying substrate is the same - Universal Consciousness.

So, a word on the whole "guy uses AI to cure his dog's cancer" story that's going around:

I don't know if it's true or not. It's somewhat irrelevant to what I'm about to say.

What I do know is this: My wife and I are friends with a couple a few towns over. We buy duck eggs from them. The husband, a very alert, physically capable engineer in his 70s, got cancer.

They are absolutely avoiding the accepted treatments.

Instead, they're pursuing a therapy that mirrors what the guy with the dog dig: They paid a lab and got the tumor sequenced, and paid a company to develop a vaccine targeted specifically at the tumor's gene sequence.

And it's working. Spectacularly.

This isn't a novel approach. It's out in the world, and there are companies, doctors, and labs offering it. But the medical industry won't tell you about it. Your doctor isn't going to offer it to you as an option. You have to go looking for it.

It's not cheap, but it's cheaper than a course of chemo.

And it actually works.

🇺🇸 Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot drew a big crowd at SXSW in Austin, with people gathering just to see it up close.

All part of Elon’s plan to build machines that could eventually do everyday work.

Researchers trained a humanoid robot to play tennis using only 5 hours of motion capture data

The robot can now sustain multi-shot rallies with human players, hitting balls traveling >15 m/s with a ~90% success rate

A “computer” used to be a job title.

Then a computer became a thing humans used.

Now a computer is becoming a thing computers use.

I haven’t been doing this a lot until lately, but AI can be such a good design partner. I have a Claude project with all the context of my current project, and I can chat with Opus 4.6 about it anytime on my phone.

In the past I always capture inspirations in a backlog in Google Keep so I can do proper research on it later. Now I just chat with Claude whenever the bulb lights up.

It doesn’t always come up with the best idea on its own, but it’s able to conduct research very fast, explore a wide variety of options, and list the tradeoffs to give me the necessary information to nudge it in the right direction - and honestly, that’s probably the only thing I am truly good at: intuition and taste on API design. AI amplifies my impact in the parts where I really matter and gives me a 10x leverage on the final results.
