We made rockets reusable and are rebuilding the internet in space. The next challenge: making life multiplanetary and understanding the true nature of the universe

I'm actually extremely bullish on this tech and its implications for mankind. Billions of people--the majority of people in countries with IQs lower than the European average--are going to be absolutely oneshotted by this stuff. The men are going to spend all day every day posting comments on AI instagram profiles like, "lovely beautiful girl yes" and "please reply to my DM I have sent 🙏🙏🙏" This is going to be a great filter and the people who survive it will go on to conquer the galaxy.
This is exactly right. Source code is on the verge of becoming like assembly.
The next step is getting rid of “source code” entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI.
Actually, this has happened in every civilization when there was both an extended period of prosperity and no perceived outside threat.
The ancient Romans discussed their fertility crisis hundreds of times in the Senate and tried many times to fix it with tax incentives and even punishment, but to no avail.
@battleangelviv Hey Viv ! I lived in France for 10years there is a saying : Do not use arguments of reason with people who have ill intentions.
French gouvernement is not trying to do good it just like to pretend to do good while stripping away people from their freedom.
The world wants me to die.
My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days.
Many were saddened.
However, joy dominated the commentary.
People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves.
But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern:
“he deserved it.”
I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture.
This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality.
Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority.
This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution.
People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation.
For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe.
I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus.
This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years.
Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged.
What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable.
What if I didn’t deserve it?
And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?
@TheAliceSmith I read the Declaration of Independence out loud today with heartfelt conviction.
It is a work not just of genius, but also of a purity of soul that resonates to this very day.
I want every foreigner visiting America for the World Cup to realize this is 100% legal.
And every town in the USA is filled with patriots who have armories like this. Every block, actually.
This is why we will never be conquered and are awesome 🇺🇸
Today we are celebrating America’s 250th anniversary ❤️🇺🇸
As a teen, Elon was determined to move to America. He did, and Kimbal, Tosca and I followed. Despite my American background, it took me 12 years to become an American citizen.
My father, Joshua Norman Haldeman was born in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, in 1902.
My grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, was born in Richmond, Illinois, in 1871.
My great grandfather, Jeremiah Haldeman was born in Wharton Furnace, Pennsylvania, in 1846.
My great-great-grandfather, Elon Powers was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1803.
My family is so proud to be Americans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lars says in a new interview that new Tesla vehicles drive themselves over the bumps, squeaks and rattles section at the factory and the microphones in the cabin listen and report back any issues to the Tesla team.
Lars also says Tesla’s first Optimus production line has landed in Fremont and that they have started to install it. It is a modular line so they can change things. There will be dozens of lines.
