Thoughts from Detroit RM:
-Another solid week leading to a T8. I lost two shots on the back nine which always hurts but pleased with the way I played and also the way I handled myself mentally.
-I really felt like I had a chance after 9 but just couldn’t get any more birdies going.
-The bogey on 15 was a real bummer. It was a PW, and after a par on the par 5 14th, I knew I had to make a move and I just pushed it slightly. It ended up in the long hay in the penalty area and made bogey. Wish I could have that one back but that’s golf.
-I think the redesign was solid. These bunkers and long hay was no joke. I wish they had kept the big tree on 7 but maybe it fell down or something.
-I wasn’t sure if I was going to play Wyndham but after this week, there’s a real chance to make a run to the playoffs.
There’s a Korean saying “when the tide is right, you ROW”
The tide is solid right now so it’s time to freaking row. Let’s get to East Lake.
$1.77 trillion. Going public. This week.
The SpaceX IPO just broke every record on the books — and for once, regular investors actually get a seat at the table.
30% of the deal ($22 billion worth) is set aside for retail buyers.
But before you rush to buy the dip on launch day — a few things worth knowing:
🔒 Several brokers have anti-flipping rules. Sell early on SoFi and you're hit with a $50 fee + potential IPO ban.
🗳️ Elon keeps 82%+ of voting control. You're buying the ride, not the wheel.
📈 Demand is already 4x oversubscribed — even with that retail slice, allocation isn't guaranteed.
Save this so you know exactly what you're walking into. 👇
Now this is a heater ... NINE straight one-putts for Michael Kim 🔥
He's skyrocketing up the leaderboard going from T43 to 2nd!
This one is a gimme. First 5,000 fans who text RULE27583 to 888-222 get a BOGO entree
@ChipotleTweets.
59. 🔥
@Mike_kim714 just shot one of the rarest rounds in golf. Breaking 60 has happened only 16 times in PGA Tour history, and he just did it: 12 birdies, zero bogeys, 12 under par at the 3M Open.
New to golf? A 59 is basically a perfect day at the office. Most pros never get one.
Proud to have Michael repping the Range hat out there. 🧢
Congrats, Michael. 👏

.@PalmerLuckey’s advice for founders:
“If you want to work on technology, work for somebody else.”
“If you want to work on nonstop bullshit—start a company.”
“It became clear there were people much better than me at certain things.”
“I had to stop doing the things I liked, and start doing things I was uniquely able to do—running the company, doing fundraising.”
If you want to rise to the top in your area of work, there is one simple rule:
Work very hard, over a long period of time.
- Most people don't want to work
- Fewer want to work hard
- Fewer still will want to work hard over a long period of time

The all-time sports team sale record went from $2B to $10B in just over a decade.
Lakers — $10 billion.
Browns — $9 billion.
Padres — $3.9 billion.
Raiders — $11 billion valuation.
20 years ago, the average NFL team was worth $900M.
Today? $7.65 billion. That's an 8.5x return.
Across all four major leagues, franchise values returned closer to 15x.
The S&P 500? About 7x in the same window.
And the next sale will probably break the record again.
Whats the world record for being put on hold with @verizonfios ?
I'm up to 2 hours and 10 minutes.
So far I called Verzion and was put on HOLD:
1. Drove to gym
2. Worked out
3. Came home and showered
4. Made breakfast
5. Met with my carpet guy
6. Drove to the verizon store (30 min away)
7. They don't solve problems with Fios. Drove back.
8. STILL ON HOLD.
Marc Andreessen went on Chris Williamson's podcast and broke down exactly how Elon Musk runs multiple companies at once
No other CEO on Earth does this:
1. Every week, Musk shows up at each of his companies, identifies the single biggest problem that company is having that week, and fixes it. Then he does that for 52 weeks in a row. At the end of the year, each company has solved its 52 biggest problems. Meanwhile, most large companies are still having the planning meeting for the pre-planning meeting for the board presentation with the compliance review and the legal review attached.
2. This is not a new operating method. It is actually how the great industrialists of the late 1800s and early 1900s ran their companies. Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Watson, who built IBM. Total devotion from the leader to fully and deeply understand what the company does, be in the trenches, talk directly to the people doing the work, and be the lead problem solver in the organization. Andreessen says he is not aware of another current CEO who operates this way.
3. The framework Musk uses is the bottleneck. In any manufacturing chain, there is always one thing holding everything up. Sometimes it is raw materials at the start. Sometimes it is warehousing at the end. Sometimes it is in the middle. The job is to find it and remove it. Musk has universalized this concept across every company he runs. In any given week, there is one main bottleneck. He micromanages the solution to that one thing and delegates almost everything else.
4. Musk delegates almost everything. Andreessen is clear about this. He is not involved in most of what his companies are doing. He is involved in the one thing that is the biggest problem right now. Once that is fixed, he moves to the next biggest problem. Everything else by definition, is running better than the bottleneck, so it does not need him.
5. When Musk identifies the bottleneck, he goes directly to the engineer who actually understands it. not the VP of engineering, not the director, not the manager. The individual contributor who has the actual technical knowledge. He sits in the room with that person and fixes the problem alongside them. He does not ask for a report to be reviewed in three weeks. he shows up at the keyboard or on the manufacturing line and works through it overnight if necessary.
6. This is why technical people who work for Musk say it was the best experience of their lives. Andreessen's framing: if you are stuck on a problem you cannot solve, Elon Musk is going to show up in his Gulfstream, sit with you in front of the keyboard, and help you figure it out. For an engineer who genuinely cares about the work, that is an almost incomprehensible level of support from the CEO of the company.
7. Business school teaches the opposite of this: management as a generic skill applicable to any industry. Soup company or a rocket company, the management principles are the same. process, balance sheet, meeting schedules, compliance, executive motivation, interpersonal conflict resolution. Andreessen says those skills are useful in many contexts. They just give you nothing; you need to do what Musk does. And Musk pushes as far as he can away from all of that so he can spend all of his time doing the things only he can do.
75 OpenAI employees just walked away with $30 million each.
Employees who participated in the AI giant’s latest tender offer cashed out a total of $6.6 billion, $11M each on average — and that’s before the company even goes public.
The AI wealth boom is already reshaping the economy. And this is just the preview.
