@aaronburnett@levelsio Regarding demand, they said the same about reusable rockets. Get rid of humanity’s limiting factors and you’ll see demand from places you never imagined.
@Robotbeat There will be so much demand that if you can get a single satellite up there, you’ll be able to monetize it. (Not so different to how it is today.)
@thejefflutz Not in favor of moratoriums, but just because something happened in the past doesn’t mean that’s what will happen in the future. In the limit, it is obvious any product or service with any human in the loop will lose to those without. UBI (or UHI) is inevitable.
SpaceX wouldn’t buy Tesla using cash (they can’t). We would get SpaceX shares in exchange for our Tesla shares. So we’d benefit from Tesla’s and SpaceX’s growth. In the worst possible scenario, where SpaceX’s value goes to zero, we would still own Tesla and benefit from its growth.
@wholemars A government shouldn’t pick winners and losers. They should let the free market play out and use variable UBI to manage AI-induced deflation.
Some people think Elon must have thought about this all along, but stumbling into revolutionary solutions to problems is the natural consequence of working on humanity’s limiting factors.
During the Terafab announcement, we learned Dojo 3 will be Tesla’s orbital AI chip. What I find interesting is Elon often talking up SpaceX’s own chip design team. Then there’s both companies scaling solar separately. I wonder if Elon keeps walls between these teams or lets them freely interact. It hurts to imagine the inefficiencies of keeping these companies separate 😣
SpaceX's first employee Tom Mueller @lrocket says he first met @elonmusk by making amateur rockets in his garage:
" I've done a few things in my garage."
Humans are inherently lazy. We’ve evolved to conserve energy. We have an evolutionary need to find shortcuts and reduce complexity. But the world is complex and if you wish to predict the future (investing) you need to see the world for how it is, not the simplified version you wish it was.
