One aspect I like the cancer vaccine today: the anti-vaxxers don't have to take it for the rest of us to be saved.
Merck and Moderna reported today that intismeran worked in Phase 3, melanoma, 1,100+ patients, less recurrence, less spread. The shot is built from each patient's own tumor: 34 neoantigens coded into mRNA. You can't mandate that. You don't need to. No herd immunity, no free riders, no coercion.
Every vaccine mandate in history existed because anti vaxxers endangered the rest of us. Here their refusal endangers only them.
Life becomes much more fun when you view everything as an opportunity. Flight delay? Time to flex the patience muscle. Rude service worker? Time to flex the empathy muscle. Unexpected fire at work? Time to flex the problem solving muscle. Easy mindset shift. Instant life upgrade.
China tuvo hoy su primer aterrizaje exitoso de un cohete reutilizable, ¡buen logro! Pero no dominan nada, es solo el inicio.
Falcon 9 de SpaceX lleva 11 años haciendo esto de forma rutinaria con cientos de vuelos; China va a tardar mínimo 5-10 años en llegar a ese nivel.
Para entonces SpaceX ya tendrá Starship volando: totalmente reutilizable, lleva mucho más carga y cuesta mucho menos.
En realidad China está bastante atrás. ¡La competencia es buena, pero el ritmo de innovación de SpaceX es una brutalidad!
Más allá de ser un visionario e innovador, creo que Elon Musk es uno de los mejores asignadores de capital de la historia.
Si con el capital que ha tenido construyó SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink y xAI, imaginen lo que puede lograr con 85.7 mil millones de dólares de capital nuevo. Una de las historias que más me emociona seguir en las próximas décadas.
Congratulations to @elonmusk on becoming the first trillionaire in history!
Every major breakthrough that has transformed humanity from the Industrial Revolution, electricity, automobiles, aviation, and the Internet to today’s space exploration, has been driven by visionary entrepreneurs willing to risk their own capital, innovate, and create value.
Meanwhile, governments do not invent, do not take risks, and do not create wealth; they simply manage (and often waste) the money they take from people through taxes.
@SpaceX is yet another proof that progress is born from freedom, private property, and entrepreneurship, not from bureaucracy.
Congratulations, Elon! 🇺🇸🚀
JUST IN: Elon Musk announces SpaceX’s Terafab chip factory will be roughly 100 million square feet — about 10x the size of Tesla’s Giga Texas — & produce 1 terawatt per year.
