@mitchellvii Then someone else buys them just before the regulations are removed, and voila they make a ton of money! 💰

Elon Musk says weekly skip-level meetings expose the 'glazed' lieutenants every CEO trusts.

A typical Fortune 500 CEO held a meeting once a month.

Their direct reports presented prepared slides.

Their direct reports' reports never made the room.

The CEO heard the version of reality their VPs wanted them to hear.

"I have these very detailed engineering reviews weekly."

Skip-level. No agenda. No prep.

Everyone in the room. All reports flow up at once.

The format was designed to make pre-meeting choreography impossible.

Run the meeting before it runs you.

Then Musk named what choreography produces.

"Otherwise you're going to get glazed, as I say these days."

Musk named the corporate disease: **glazed**.

Polished. Predictable. Almost useless.

Musk, who ran weekly engineering reviews across Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, knew the glaze on sight.

A direct report with 48 hours to prepare an answer would deliver the version of reality that protected their team, their roadmap, and their compensation — while the engineer two levels below them, asked the same question cold, would say what was actually happening on the floor.

"I just go around the room. Everyone provides an update."

No slides. No deck. No script.

Question and answer, traded live.

After Musk standardized the format, corporate truth started matching shop-floor truth.

Bad news arrived earlier. Course corrections happened faster.

Compensation arguments shortened.

Musk, on what the weekly cadence buys:

"It's a lot of information to keep in your head."

What in your weekly meetings is already a rehearsal nobody admits to?

@GigaBeers Kind of fitting…

@CNN TSA people stop coming to work, if you want to fix this shit show.

@ChrisVanHollen Margarita!

@erichhartmann Unfortunately, they are entitled to the point that they don’t comprehend the shame.

@adamscochran Yes, please.

BREAKING

TMZ is asking for pictures of members of Congress on vacation:

“If anybody goes to Disney World with their family for spring break or anywhere on vacation

and you see 1 of the 535 members of Congress, take a picture & send it to us.

We will post that picture on our website, on our social media, & we will put it on our television shows.

We want to show what they are doing at your expense.”

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) seen leaving DC around 6PM, just hours before the 2AM unanimous Senate vote on funding paychecks for TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard workers.
You can tell how guilty she is by how they try to stop it from being Filmed. Something needs to be done about those that give lip service and empty Promises!

It’s actually insane what SpaceX is doing to the space industry right now

In 1981, it cost ~$65,000 to put 1 kg into orbit
For 50 years, the industry accepted this as the standard. Reusable rockets were "impossible"

Then one company - led by a man obsessed with getting humanity to Mars, decided that $65,000/kg was unacceptable

Right now, Elon and the SpaceX team are building Starship to hit $10–$20/kg

That is a massive ~4,000x price collapse

It’s actually wild that we get to watch this happen in real time

[Ryan, Perdido en TX @RyanLostinTX]

I would also like to pay the salaries of TSA workers, with my tax dollars that I’ve already paid.

[astro dog🥋 @jholladay]

@SenWhitehouse You got to quit smoking that shit!

[astro dog🥋 @jholladay]

@nicksortor TSA employees should just stay at home in all of the districts that voted no.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just summed up the most dangerous problem in American innovation with one sentence.

Musk: “The next flight of Starship is ready to fly. We are waiting for regulatory approval. It really should not be possible to build a giant rocket faster than paper can move from one desk to another.”

The audience laughed.

They should not have.

We have reached a point in history where an engineering team can design, build, and prepare to launch the most powerful rocket ever constructed faster than a government agency can process the paperwork to allow it.

The physical manipulation of matter at the largest scale humanity has ever attempted is outpacing the movement of documents between desks.

That is not a minor inefficiency.

That is a broken system.

And it matters far beyond rockets.

AI does not wait for a committee hearing.

The models being built right now in China, in labs across the world are not pausing for regulatory stamps.

They are scaling at the speed of compute while the United States debates frameworks, convenes working groups, and files reports that will be outdated before they are published.

Every week that frontier AI development sits behind a wall of compliance protocols is a week that will not be recovered.

This technology does not move linearly.

The cost of delay is not measured in time. It is measured in ground ceded permanently to whoever moved faster.

Bureaucracy was designed for a world that changed slowly enough to govern.

That world is gone.

The question is whether the system catches up before the delay becomes irreversible.

Musk is building a rocket faster than paper moves.

Somewhere else, someone is already building the future. Not because they had a better idea. Because nobody told them to wait.
