🚨 NADIE TIENE UN SENTIDO DE URGENCIA COMO ELON MUSK
Medianoche. Starbase. Casco rojo de fondo
“Lanzamos en 2 días
Si no hay urgencia extrema… la chance de que seamos multiplanetarios es CERO”
El resto pone excusas
Él pone fechas.
Elon Musk is taking SpaceX’s ambitions to a new scale. 🚀
A massive planned Starbase Louisiana facility could dramatically expand Starship launches and manufacturing. 🌕
How can anybody possibly hate this guy?
His name is Elon Musk.
He saved free speech.
He created some many different great things.
He created the first major American car company in generations.
He created SpaceX, his rocket company is the only reason we can now send American astronauts into space.
And he jumped like a kid. 🤣
X Money just rolled out to more people, and I found one feature I don’t think enough people know about yet.
You can create multiple X Money accounts in seconds.
I made one called “Cybertruck Fund.”
It took maybe 10 seconds.
Tap the ➕ button.
Name the account.
Done.
Each account gets its own routing number and account number, so you can separate money transactions without opening another bank account.
I put together a quick video showing exactly how it works because nobody hands you an instruction manual. You just start clicking around and discovering features.
If you just got access to X Money today and have questions, leave them below. If I’ve already figured it out, I’m happy to help.
And if you run into an actual bug or setup issue, let me know. I’ll get you to the team that’s working on X Money.
Did you get access today, or are you still waiting?
𝕏 Money begins rolling out to a subset of Premium+ users today. It already has a ton of great features and perks. Here's an in-app welcome preview we cooked up with some of what's included...
🇺🇸 Elon on how he manages his time when every good decision can be worth $100 million:
“You have to look at it on a percentage basis… otherwise I would never get any sleep.
If I’m depressed, I make worse decisions.”
@elonmusk
Elon Musk: ”I think there are great things in every culture. We don’t want the German culture to disappear. We don’t want French culture to disappear. We don’t want Korean culture to disappear, or Japan, or America, or anywhere.
I think we should be very cautious about having some sort of global mixing pot, because every place will be the same, and there won’t be any unique cultures in the world. Which I think would make the world worse.
So I think we need to preserve these country cultures, and that’s the future that I think is better. I think that most people would agree is better. We shouldn’t have cultures disappear.
And currently, based on the current birth rates and the sort of so-called multiculturalism and globalism, what we’re actually seeing is the dilution of individual cultures and the destruction and death of individual cultures, which I think is terrible for the future.”
Really fun to interview my old friend Bret Johnsen in Mission Control.
Three parts of the @SpaceX story that I wish were more widely discussed:
SpaceX has created thousands of good blue-collar jobs: welders, machinists, electricians. Everyone talks about the need to bring high-paying, blue-collar jobs back to America. SpaceX and Tesla are making that happen. To the best of my knowledge, they have created more manufacturing jobs in the US than just about any other American company over the last ten years. It’s hard to imagine our nascent industrial renaissance succeeding without these companies.
SpaceX was started with the goal of putting humans on Mars. And along the way, they have massively improved life for many humans on Earth. Mars may be a starter planet, but Earth is our planet, and the technologies developed at SpaceX are already in use today connecting and safeguarding the people of Earth. Starlink is a really efficient way to bring internet to low-income countries. In Kenya’s remote Murang’a County, Starlink has made it possible for patients in rural villages to consult with medical specialists via telemedicine. In the rainforests of Brazil, Starlink has connected schools to reliable high-speed internet that will provide more educational opportunities to students. Here in America, Starlink has proven vital to emergency teams responding to natural disasters. During Hurricane Helene, the Starlink hubs dropped into North Carolina and East Tennessee were often the only contact point between cut-off towns and the outside world. Literally life-saving.
This IPO will be a big milestone for the company. It’s important to celebrate this, while also remembering that making humanity multi-planetary is the ultimate goal. Going to Mars is really hard. There have been many setbacks thus far, ranging from fiery explosions to failed landings. There will be many more. Ad Astra Per Aspera. But SpaceX is at its best *after* a setback imo. Their first 3 launches were “failures”. Had the 4th not succeeded, there might not be a SpaceX today. The company’s success in the face of such daunting odds is a testament to the resilience of the culture and absolute commitment to the mission shared by every employee I’ve ever spoken with. Some of the world’s most talented engineers have chosen to live in Airstreams at Starbase away from their families for weeks on end in service of this goal. I will never forget the welders who told me they signed every weld because they wanted to be accountable if they were responsible for a failure. True missionaries, all of them.
I am grateful to every single person at SpaceX for helping to make the future as inspirational as possible. And I will be even more grateful if I get to see a blue sunset on Mars!
