I used to repost Gamecock media. Then I tried to get Elon Musk to divert resources to ALS. Now I’m on the sidelines of the college football recruiting process.
Congratulations to @football_cghsnc for taking home the trophy at the Dexter Lawrence 7-on-7 tourney. Thank you @agentdexy97 for the great tournament & for humoring me & my Gamecocks spurs up. Go Cocks! 🤙
May comes to a close and while I still hold a vision of @elonmusk taking a moment to consider ALS, I’ve got to be honest with myself.
I said I’d post every day in May. I did not. Many might say that most days are good enough. People facing ALS don’t have that luxury. Every single day represents an unfair percentage of the time they have left to be fully functioning, autonomous, free-from-aid human beings.
This is something I believe we can solve. But it will take courage, innovation, and the ability to see the body’s systems in an engineering paradigm. Last time I tag you @elonmusk… but just consider it.
@cb_doge & @TheBabylonBee & @EvasTeslaSPlaid. Thank you for great posts to quote in this quest.
As ALS Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you to all of you for helping us accelerate the cure. ALS moves fast. You can move science faster.
But just because May is ending doesn’t mean the work is done. We are more determined than ever to continue because every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS. That is why we are continuing to put every dollar you donate directly research.
Our fight continues with urgency. And there are still so many ways you can help accelerate the cure.
Your contributions fuel our mission, providing funds needed to support families and investments in research, alleviating the many challenges today and looking for treatments and cure of the future. Make a donation today! https://t.co/awkxydx3zN
The more you watch Elon Musk, the more obvious it becomes that this was never just about money. He could have walked away years ago and lived in total comfort for the rest of his life. Instead, he chose constant pressure, sleepless nights, and one impossible mission after another. He does it because he genuinely believes humanity can achieve so much more if we push ourselves harder.
He is 54 years old and still working with the intensity of someone half his age. Grinding until 3am at the office, working every waking hour seven days a week. People keep betting against him, and he keeps winning. You can disagree with him on things, but you cannot deny the level of dedication, sacrifice, and belief he has put into pushing humanity forward.
History is repeating itself once again.
Godspeed, SpaceXAI.
What do you know about #ALS? Something new for you to learn about fast?
4 days left in campaign to get @elonmusk to divert intellectual resources to ALS.
Congratulations @elonmusk Badass achievement. Honestly, I think it’d take you, like 5 days to make a test for #ALS
It’d be like your patent clerk time. While you’re considering ALS, bet you unlock other mysteries!
"My mind often feels like a very wild storm. I have more ideas than I can possibly execute. I have got an entire design for an electric supersonic vertical takeoff jet."

Agree!! Which is why I’m not really asking @elonmusk to donate to existing ALS networks (sorry ALS) I want it to be a mission you can grab onto and a goal you believe you can attain.
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary. What a great gift it’d be for @elonmusk to divert resources to ALS! May is ALS awareness month. Brutal neurological disease. No test. No cause. No cure.
Love this @elonmusk. Agree.
Also, I am sorry to (keep trying to) bug you… but I think just a fraction of your attention would make a difference. For anyone following, my friend may be able to be entered into the most advanced ALS study yet. And… it literally just got moved to our home town. Who knows, maybe Elon’s made a call already. 🤷🏼♀️😁
Elon Musk: You probably wouldn’t wish for total peace, as it may require too much suppression of the people.
“Let's say you're praying to God and you ask for a given future; what future do you want God to give you? Probably, a future where there's amazing abundance for all, where everybody has incredible medical care and anything can be cured, where no one is hungry, and people are free to do what they would like.
I think that's probably the best future.”
Interviewer: “And peace, and love.”
Elon: “Well, I always worry about if you wish for something, does it actually become some dystopian version of that?
But certainly love. I think we want a future with love. That seems like a no-brainer.
Peace is an interesting one because, you know, sometimes the price for complete peace may be too high because the complete peace may require too much suppression of the people.
So, perhaps, there is peace to some degree, but not completely. Ideally there's not large scale war, of course, but, you know, you have to think about these questions kind of deeply. Do you want a world where there's no conflict? But how do you achieve a world of no conflict at all without some form of suppression?
So my guess is probably people would want a future with some conflict, not total peace, not a serious war perhaps.”

Even Elon Musk admits a YouTuber once gave him insight that improved SpaceX’s Starship design. During a booster discussion, Musk realized in real time that a design change, inspired by outside feedback, should also apply to the ship itself. “Jeez. I’d say that’s one of the biggest improvements we’ve made. I gotta admit, that was one of you. It literally occurred to me while I was explaining it to you.” This rare moment shows how the world’s most ambitious rocket company evolves its design mid-conversation, sparked by an outsider’s perspective. For Musk, genius isn’t about always having the answers. It’s about staying open enough to rethink assumptions, even if the spark comes from a YouTuber. 👉
