@CodeAndCrease @jasveer10 @durov Very high of an Amazonian MNC long term employee to diss on founders tbh. If you've got the guts build one yourself instead of armchairing on twitter.

Elon Musk called his own father "the most terrible human I've ever known." What his father did to his stepdaughter is one of the darkest family stories in modern history.

Errol Musk (Elon's father) raised a girl named Jana from the age of 4 when he married her mother. He was her stepfather for decades. He watched her grow up in his house.

Then he had a child with her.

Jana was 30. Errol was 72. A man who raised a girl as his daughter had a baby with her. Then he had a second child with her.

When reporters asked Errol about it, he showed no remorse. He said the only thing that mattered was that the child was "beautiful."

Elon found out like the rest of the world. Through the press. He described his father as a man capable of "almost every crime you can think of" and said he was evil.

He has said that his father would deliberately plan horrible things and execute them with precision. Not out of impulse. Out of design.

Elon grew up in this house. Under this man. Being shaped by someone he later called the worst person he's ever met.

People look at Elon and see the rockets, the wealth, the companies. They don't see the household he escaped from. A home run by a man who would eventually cross a line that most people can't even process.

Every builder is running from something or toward something. Sometimes the darkest starting point produces the brightest trajectory.

If I had 6 months to become an Agentic AI Engineer.

I'd do this.

Stage 1: Python + Async Foundations
asyncio, FastAPI, event-driven architecture, error handling, API integration patterns.

Stage 2: LLM Fundamentals for Agents
Context management, model routing, token economics, latency tradeoffs, failure modes.

Stage 3: Tool Calling + Structured Outputs
Pydantic validation, function calling schemas, error recovery, dynamic tool discovery.

Stage 4: Memory + State Management
Short-term buffers, long-term vector recall, context compression, cross-session sync.

Stage 5: Single Agent Workflows
ReAct loops, plan-and-execute, self-reflection, iteration limits, graceful degradation.

Stage 6: Multi-Agent Orchestration
LangGraph/CrewAI, supervisor patterns, message passing, conflict resolution, handoffs.

Stage 7: Human-in-the-Loop Systems
Uncertainty detection, approval gates, audit trails, resume logic, intervention points.

Stage 8: Evaluation + Quality Assurance
Automated eval harnesses, LLM-as-a-judge, regression testing, hallucination metrics.

Stage 9: Observability + Tracing
Distributed tracing (LangSmith/Arize), cost dashboards, latency monitoring, alerting.

Stage 10: Security + Guardrails
Prompt injection defense, output filtering, PII redaction, sandboxed execution, compliance.

Stage 11: Production Deployment
vLLM/SGLang, Kubernetes scaling, CI/CD for agents, canary releases, rollback strategies.

Stage 12: Open Source + Portfolio
Ship autonomous agents publicly, write architecture docs, record demos, contribute to libs.

Most people stay stuck watching tutorials.

Builders get hired.

@RajalingamVivek Because it helps hide bills. Wasn't it caught recently?

A Coforge Public Library opened 5 minutes from where I live in Delhi. So excited for me and the baby.

Good collection. Really well designed and spacious. Lots of reading space. There's a separate kids room as well.

No fees. Refundable deposit of ₹1,000 to start borrowing books. One at a time.

Such a good and powerful CSR initiative

@DanielPriestley I struggle with the inherent stupidity of the tweet.

[Free Radical @bukowfee]

@NYCMayor Well you could have created and made public something on value yourself, but you chose to do to politics what your family does to films. Armchair activism with no real value.

Get a job.

@realhyderabad86 @AdiNikhilesh Space X can. You don't deserve talking about it. Real estate is a corrupt business ran by uneducated goons. Don't draw similarities, there's nothing you can contribute on this

[Free Radical @bukowfee]

@realhyderabad86 Yea a space tech company and just another dumb real estate company, same thing

@poojaofficial5 I'm just wondering how a govt officer bought a fortuner? Arent govt employees meagerly paid? What a useless tweet

What are the ways in which you analyse high agency & ownership in a potential hire while screening them?

Would love to learn models others have used successfully to gauge candidates
