Africa’s richest man shares a mindset shift that every entrepreneur should hear
The most powerful rocket ever built is made of the same alloy as surgical tools and industrial pipelines. 🚀 Here’s why that’s actually genius: → Carbon fiber costs ~$200/kg to manufacture. Steel costs $3. → At −183°C, 304L stainless steel gets 50% stronger.
SpaceX is preparing for the 10th Starship test flight. 🚀 This test advances SpaceX's plans for a fast and reusable launch system, with: - Experiments on the Super Heavy booster, testing...
Elon Musk notes that "we're only right now using roughly 1% of the potential energy of Earth."
"The only way to access that energy, the energy of the sun, is to extend beyond Earth."
Jensen Huang on Elon Musk and xAI building the fastest supercomputer on the planet in 19 days
“From the moment of concept to building a massive factory, liquid-cooled, energized, permitted, in the short time that was done. That is superhuman. And as far as I know, there’s only one person in the world who could do that.”
Jensen puts the 19 days that it took xAI to build their supercomputer in Memphis into perspective:
“What they achieved is singular. It’s never been done before. Just to put it in perspective: 100,000 GPUs is easily the fastest supercomputer on the planet as one cluster. It’s a supercomputer that would take normally three years to plan, then they deliver the equipment, then it takes one year to get it all working.”
In other words, this should’ve taken at least four years, but Elon and the xAI team were able to do it in just 19 days.

Elon Musk explains his 5-step algorithm for solving any problem:
"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist."
"I have this very basic first principles algorithm that I run as a mantra."
Elon breaks it down:
Step 1: Question the requirements.
"Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are always dumb to some degree, no matter how smart the person who gave you those requirements. You have to start there, because otherwise you could get the perfect answer to the wrong question."
Step 2: Try to delete it.
"Try to delete the part or the process step entirely. If you're not forced to put back at least 10% of what you delete, you're not deleting enough. Most people feel like they've succeeded if they haven't been forced to put things back in. But actually they haven't, they've been overly conservative and left things in that shouldn't be there."
Step 3: Optimize or simplify.
"The most common mistake of smart engineers is to optimize a thing that should not exist. So you don't optimize until after you've tried to delete."
Step 4: Speed it up.
"Any given thing can be done faster than you think. But you shouldn't speed things up until you've tried to delete it and optimize it otherwise, you're speeding up something that shouldn't exist."
Step 5: Automate.
"And then the fifth thing is to automate it."
Elon explains why the order matters:
"I've gone backwards so many times where I've automated something, sped it up, simplified it, and then deleted it. I got tired of doing that. So that's why I have this mantra."
SpaceX’s fifth Starship flight test launched on October 13, 2024, achieving a historic milestone by catching the Super Heavy booster mid-air using the launch tower’s mechanical arms, known as Mechazilla.
One of the most breathtaking moments of 2025.

Power, precision, and timing coming together in a way that almost doesn’t feel real. 🚀
33 motores Raptor 2 queimando 3.400 toneladas de metano e oxigênio líquidos em 2 minutos e 46 segundos. O Super Heavy consome 17 toneladas de combustível por segundo. O dobro do empuxo do Saturn V que levou o homem à Lua.
Blue Origin Shifts Focus to Human Moon Landings 🚀 Blue Origin has announced a temporary pause in New Shepard operations for at least the next two years as the company redirects resources toward advancing its human lunar exploration efforts. 🥶
SpaceX aims to send one million people to Mars by 2050 using thousands of Starship rockets.
Elon Musk envisions launching up to 30 Starships per day, with reusable boosters returning to Earth just minutes after liftoff.
The system is designed for rapid refueling and could eventually transport millions of tonnes of cargo to Mars.
