Elon Musk: We need to return to a focus on merit

“We need to return to where things were, or mostly were, which is a focus on merit.

It doesn't matter whether you're a man, a woman, what race you are, what beliefs you have. What matters is how good are you at your job or what are your skills.

You could be a three-legged green Martian who wears a kimono and drinks the yak's milk. Who cares? It doesn't matter. What matters is how good is your work.

That's the least racist or sexist you can be, is just care about the work that somebody does and not anything else.”

The British establishment is suddenly obsessed with Lord Palmerston—the 19th century architect of regime change operations.

Why now? Trump's new National Defense Strategy just ended their primary weapon.

So they brought the war home.

🚨 There are growing questions surrounding how Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and her husband built millions in wealth in such a short span.

Reports suggest her net worth went from near zero to $6–$30 million within a year.

@GOPoversight is looking into it. @JesseBWatters

Elon Musk: The real breakthrough SpaceX is chasing isn’t hype — it’s full reusability. No one in history has ever built a fully reusable rocket, and that’s why access to space is still insanely expensive — We’ve already landed Falcon 9 boosters over 500 times, but we still throw away the upper stage — and that alone costs as much as a small jet. Starship changes everything. When every part of a rocket comes back, space stops being exclusive and starts becoming scalable.

Starship is the largest flying machine ever made — built for Mars, the Moon, and massive satellite deployment. But the real revolution isn’t where it goes… it’s that it comes back. Full reusability is the single biggest lever for lowering the cost of space in human history.

Automation and AI matter — but without full reusability, space will always be expensive. Starship is designed to change the economics entirely. Prove full reusability, and the cost of reaching orbit drops by a factor of 100. That’s how Mars stops being a dream and starts being a plan.

🚨 Tesla plans to start training Optimus at its Austin factory

Tesla plans to start collecting training data for its Optimus humanoid robot at Giga Texas.

The goal is to train Optimus to work inside the Austin factory, with data collection targeting a February start. Tesla has already been doing this for over a year in Fremont, where workers record real factory tasks so Optimus can learn by copying human movements.

CEO Elon Musk said during an interview at Davos on Thursday that Tesla has the humanoid robot doing "simple tasks" in its factory, though he didn't specify which.

"By the end of this year I think they'll be doing more complex tasks but still deployed in an industrial environment," he said. "By the end of next year I think we'll be selling humanoid robots to the public." $TSLA

Maye Musk recalls Elon telling her he wanted to create a network of satellites to save lives:

"Elon surprises us every time when he says he's going to do something. When he said to me, 'I'm going to put satellites in the air so that people who are in the forest, or on hills, or in the middle of the ocean can be saved, it will save lives,' and now, it's saving lives around the world."

This is what the night sky on Mars looks like

When night falls on Mars, the sky turns dark and remarkably clear. With its extremely thin atmosphere, Mars offers a sharper view of the cosmos, revealing more stars than we typically see from Earth

Mars is accompanied by two small moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos streaks across the sky in just a few hours, while Deimos moves slowly, resembling a faint drifting star

The Martian sky isn’t pure black. Dust in the atmosphere often gives it a subtle brownish hue, and near sunset, a soft blue glow can appear along the horizon. On especially clear nights, the Milky Way shines brightly, stretching across the sky in stunning detail
