This idea from some people that the government should heavily tax @elonmusk - the world's best capital allocator - and transfer a significant portion of that wealth to the government, one of the worst capital allocators, makes little sense, especially since much of his earned wealth exists because the companies he built have become far more valuable by creating products and services people value and are willingly to pay for.

Elon may have a high net worth, but virtually all of it is tied up in company stock. He doesn't have tens of billions of dollars in cash. Taxing his wealth would likely force him to sell significant amounts of that stock, putting downward pressure on the share price and negatively affecting millions of people who themselves own shares in those companies directly or through ETFs, mutual funds, pension funds, and 401(k)s.

I think I saw somewhere that Elon's companies have paid over $100 billion in salaries. Those salaries are taxed. Beyond that, his companies have already generated enormous economic value for America and the other regions that his companies operate in.

You want Elon Musk to do good for the world? Great, he already is:
• Tesla: Accelerating the transition to sustainable energy and developing safety technologies like FSD that saves lives.
• SpaceX: Expanding internet access through Starlink in underserved and low-income regions, saving the U.S. government $40 billion (according to the Pentagon), and restored America's ability to launch astronauts from American soil again.
• Neuralink: Giving paralyzed individuals new levels of independence with brain chips. Next, they aim to give blind people the ability to literally see.

Taking capital away from someone who has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to turn it into productive businesses, jobs, innovation, and economic growth, and handing it to a government with a far less effective track record of capital allocation - doesn't strike me as a good trade. Elon's wealth isn't a bug in our system, it's a feature of living in a country where entrepreneurs have the opportunity to build companies that create enormous value for society.

SpaceX was founded to make life multiplanetary. We’ve been able to expand that mission with our Starlink constellation and AI solution

@PeterDiamandis SpaceX had achieved nothing of note after 3 years and was written off as dead after 6 years with 3 consecutive launch failures.

But you may have noticed that things are different now.

Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding.

The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise.

"White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities.

These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity.

"White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place.

"White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people.

"White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it.

"White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it.

Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.

Tesla raised capex to $25B, admitted 3.5M cars can’t run Robotaxi FSD, softened timelines… and only fell 2%.

That’s not punishment. That’s absorption.

Wall Street may be missing the real signal again. Day 248

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

“I spent 1 year with a Tesla and realized one thing: I was 100% confident in my misinformed opinions. I used to be an EV skeptic. I was wrong. Here are the 5 things that changed my mind:

Charging - I thought gas stations were better. I was wrong. Waking up every morning to a “full tank” is the single best benefit of ownership. No more stops in the rain or snow. It’s a total game-changer.

One-Pedal Driving - I didn't think braking could be improved. Wrong again. Regenerative braking is so intuitive that I almost never touch the physical brake pedal. Going back to a two-pedal internal combustion engine feels clunky now.

Full Self-Driving (FSD) - I said I’d never let a computer drive for me. Now? I’m convinced it drives better than I do. The improvements this year have been mind-blowing. This tech is going to provide massive mobility for the elderly and disabled.

The Screen vs. Buttons - I used to tell friends, "I like knobs and buttons." I laugh at that now. Thinking I need physical buttons is like missing the BlackBerry keyboard. The touch interface is intuitive, clean, and constantly improving.

Performance - I knew it would be fast, but it’s absurd. It replaced a high-end German sports car, and the Tesla handles and accelerates significantly better while still being a practical family vehicle.

Ignorance was bliss because it made me feel smart, but day-to-day ownership of the Model Y proved me wrong. If you're on the fence, the experience is likely much different from what you imagine.”

In 2029, Apophis, a ~370m asteroid, will pass just ~31,000 km from Earth.

That’s ~1/10 the distance to the Moon.
Inside the orbit of geostationary satellites.
Visible to the naked eye.

Impact risk this time is low, but the flyby could shift its future trajectory.

A direct hit would mean a ~1 km crater and regional devastation.

That’s why becoming multiplanetary matters.
