Why Elon Musk eats insanely fast:
At one point his biographer was having dinner with him and said:
"As the food arrived, Musk consumed it. That is, he didn't eat it as much as he made it disappear rapidly with a few gargantuan bites.
Desperate to keep Musk happy and chatting, I handed him a big chunk of steak from my plate.
The plan worked... for all of ninety seconds. Meat. Hunk. Gone."
Bottom line: Elon prioritizes speed in everything he does.

There is no food in the fridge. The garage where I slept is on the right. The shower only has one towel so I left it for Elon. That was okay with me. When I was a child, I’d spend three weeks in the Kalahari Desert without showering. Many times. There was no water. I think my parents prepared me for this luxury.🤣
Elon Musk: "If you punish people too much for failure, then they will respond accordingly, and the innovation you will get will be very incrementalist
Nobody's gonna try anything bold for fear of getting fired or being punished in some way. So risk-reward must be balanced and favor taking bold moves, otherwise it will not happen"
Tesla Vision allows us to deploy airbags up to 70 milliseconds earlier if your Tesla detects an unavoidable collision
This can be the difference between serious injury & walking away from a crash
Elon Musk just revealed what’s actually holding AI back.
It’s not chips. Not models. Not data.
It’s concrete.
Someone asked him the obvious question. Why not just build private power plants next to data centers? Bypass the grid entirely.
His answer was four words.
Musk: “The power plant makers.”
There aren’t enough of them.
You can design the best chip on earth. Train a frontier model. Raise $10 billion for a hyperscale data center.
None of it matters if you can’t power it.
Musk: “You can drill down a level further.”
GPUs need power. Power needs turbines. Turbines need factories. Factories need permits. Permits need a government that hasn’t paralyzed itself.
Every link in the chain is physical. And every one of them is breaking.
We can train a frontier model in weeks. We can’t permit a power plant in under five years.
The country that invented the assembly line now needs 40 agencies to approve a gas turbine.
China doesn’t have this problem. They don’t run 7-year environmental reviews on infrastructure they need tomorrow. They break ground while America requests approval to break ground.
The AI race won’t be decided by whoever writes the best algorithm.
It’ll be decided by whoever can still build in the physical world.
We spent 30 years getting faster in software and slower in steel. Outsourcing manufacturing. Hollowing out supply chains. Treating builders like liabilities instead of assets.
Now the bill is due.
Every breakthrough in AI is gated by atoms. Steel. Concrete. Turbines that take years to manufacture and decades to approve.
The smartest code on earth is worthless without electricity.
Musk didn’t give a speech about this. He didn’t need to. He answered one question and the whole infrastructure myth collapsed.
“Where do you get the power plants from?”
Follow that thread far enough and you stop finding a technology problem.
You find a civilization that mastered thinking and forgot how to build.
