Exactly one year ago today, February 24, 2025 I put this right onto the facade of the Tesla Gigaf. in ๐ฉ๐ช ending with: โIn the name of Hari Seldon hear the prophecey Four days later @elonmusk had a son and named him after Hari Seldon. No one on this planet knew about it beforehand
Elon Musk was asked what his biggest regret in love is.
His answer wasn't about a specific woman.
"Time. I always thought there would be more of it."
Everyone expected a name. A moment. A decision he wished he could undo. The standard regret answer: I should have fought harder for her. I should have been more present. I should have chosen differently.
He said the regret isn't about who he chose or how he acted. It's about the math he ran in his head every time a relationship needed him. The math always said the same thing: the company needs me now, the relationship will still be there tomorrow. SpaceX has a deadline. The dinner can be rescheduled. The launch window closes. The anniversary is flexible.
He ran that math every week for 25 years. And the math was always technically correct. The deadline was always real. The dinner could always be rescheduled. But the rescheduled dinners accumulated into a pattern. The pattern became a distance. The distance became a divorce. Every time.
He said the cruelest part is that each individual decision was rational. Skip this one dinner for the rocket. Miss this one birthday for the factory. Each one in isolation is defensible. But decisions that are individually rational can be collectively devastating. A thousand rational choices that each cost almost nothing produced a total cost he can't recover.
The time was always going to be there tomorrow. Until the day it wasn't. Until the divorce was filed and the time that was supposed to be infinite turned out to have been running out the entire time he was rescheduling it.
@elonmusk He is as close to the center of truth as hardly anyone else and it will be thanks to him that humanity manages to make the leap. We put our hero on the wall next to Tesla, Galilee and Einstein
According to your first sentence, this could have been brought under control.
If it hadnโt been allowed to go this far in the first place.
Thatโs somehow also shameful for a Western nation.
My heart is American, but I really donโt like this.
It shows how much potential we still have and arenโt using.
Elon Musk:
โI generally would recommend for leaders of the world to just literally post your own stuff. Once in a while, you make a mistake. Don't worry about it. Can't win them all.โ
