That moment when Elon Musk had the funniest idea to test if SNL was actually live 😂
“Is Saturday Night Live really live, or is there a delay? Well, tonight… we’re gonna find out. And the way I’ll do it is by taking my…” 🫢 🤣
Elon Musk was asked how fast AI is moving, and answered by correcting the most aggressive forecaster in technology for not being aggressive enough.
Musk: “I have to give credit to Ray Kurzweil in being actually remarkably accurate in his predictions. If anything, I think he was perhaps a bit conservative in his predictions.”
Kurzweil spent thirty years publishing timelines that were treated as proof he had lost the plot. He hit nearly all of them. The word Musk used for that record was conservative.
Kurzweil built his forecasts by reading the rate of change. Musk is reading it now.
Musk: “The dedicated AI compute appears to be growing by a factor of 10 every six months.”
That is not a projection. “Appears to be growing” describes something that has already happened.
Musk: “Almost a 100x improvement per year, at least for the next few years.”
Moore’s Law was 2x every two years. That one curve produced the internet, the smartphone, the cloud, and every instinct you have about how fast the world can change.
Your sense of normal was calibrated on 2x. The system is running at 100x.
The new world is not being built next to the old one.
Musk: “Probably a lot of the data centers, maybe most of the data centers that currently do conventional compute, will transition to AI compute.”
The infrastructure holding up the current economy is being converted into what replaces it. The old world is the raw material for the next one.
Every generation assumes the speed it grew up with is the speed of history. Ours is the first to be handed the actual number and still round it down.
Everything you build takes time. A child, a trade, a life’s work. All of it rests on the assumption that the world will still be recognizable when the work is finished.
That assumption has held for every human who has ever lived. It was never a law of nature. It was a side effect of how slowly things moved.
The most extreme forecast on record came in low. Reasonable is no longer the safe position. It is only the comfortable one.
I truly believe there’s a woman whose smile will make my world feel complete and every dream worth chasing. Until the day our paths cross, I’ll hold onto hope, keep believing in destiny, and never stop believing in the beautiful power of love.

JENSEN HUANG: “I just want everybody in the world to hear that you said I build bigger things than you do.” 😄
ELON MUSK: “You do! The data centers are very enormous.”
Elon spotted Justine on campus and went right to work trying to date her.
“She looked pretty great,” Musk said.
“She was also smart and this intellectual with sort of an edge. She had a black belt in tae kwon do and was semi-bohemian and, you know, like the hot chick on campus.”
He made his first move just outside of her dorm, where he pretended to have bumped into her by accident and then reminded her that they had met previously at a party.
Justine, only one week into school, agreed to Musk’s proposal of an ice cream date.
When he arrived to pick up Wilson, Musk found a note on the dorm room door, notifying him that he’d been stood up.
“It said that she had to go study for an exam and couldn’t make it and that she was sorry,” Musk said.
Musk then hunted down Justine’s best friend and did some research, asking where Justine usually studied and what her favorite flavor of ice cream was.
Later, as Justine hid in the student center studying Spanish, Musk appeared behind her with a couple of melting chocolate chip ice cream cones in hand.
The pair attended the same abnormal-psychology class and compared their grades following an exam. Justine notched a 97, Musk a 98.
“He went back to the professor, and talked his way into the two points he lost and got a hundred,” Justine said.
“It felt like we were always competing.”
Musk had a romantic side as well.
One time he sent Wilson a dozen roses, each with its own note, and he also gifted Wilson a copy of The Prophet filled with handwritten romantic musings.
“He can sweep you off your feet,” Justine said.

"Modern fashion is stuck. Everything still looks like 2015 & we have not moved the needle in years. Past decades had clear styles while today suits barely change. We should evolve our look and bring back bolder, cooler ideas for a new vibe."

Elon Musk: "The reality is we’re building super-intelligent AI, hyper-intelligent, more intelligent than we can comprehend
It’s like raising a super-genius child that you know is going to be much smarter than you
You can instill good values in how you raise that child: philanthropic values, good morals, honest, productive
Controlling it at the end of the day I don't think we'll be able to
The best we can do is make sure it's raised well"
Elon Musk reveals the ego-to-ability ratio that predicts whether someone will fail
"You do whatever it takes to succeed, and just always be smashing your ego. Internalize responsibility. A major failure mode is when your ego-to-ability ratio is greater than one"
"If your ego-to-ability ratio gets too high, you break the feedback loop to reality. In AI terms, you break your RL loop. You want a strong RL loop, which means internalizing responsibility and minimizing ego"
"That's why I prefer the term engineering as opposed to research, and I don't want to call xAI a lab, I just want it to be a company. Whatever the simplest, lowest-ego terms are, those are generally a good way to go. You want to close the loop on reality hard"
HOLY SH*T: Elon Musk STUNS the World. SpaceX reports revenues of 92%+ with over $100 BILLION dollars on hand
Mainstream Media wants Elon Musk to fail
If Elon wins… AMERICA WINS
Q: "Are you considering running in 2028?"
Elon Musk: "My grandfather was American, but I was born, oddly enough in Africa… so I cannot be president. But I actually don't want to be president. I want to build rockets and cars."
