My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.
GTA 6 drops in 6 months
> 0.01% will sell tools and make $50K+
> 0.1% will run servers at $5K/mo
> 1% will stream and cover rent
> 98.89% will just play
be at least 0.1%. (with Claude Code it's easy mission)
Some ideas nobody's running yet:
1. Sell FiveM scripts with zero coding experience
Claude writes Lua now. server owners pay $50-389 per script on the Cfx Marketplace
developers on Tebex report averaging €5,000+/mo within 90 days of launching
you don't need to know code. you need to know what server owners are desperate for:
- custom job systems
- economy balancers
- UI panels
- vehicle systems
- whitelist managers
1 script/week × 7 months = 30 products
if each sells 10 copies at $100 avg, DO THE MATH
2. Run a paid RP server as a subscription business
this is the one that sounds fake until you do the math
50 members × $15/mo = $750/mo
100 members × $20/mo = $2,000/mo
200 members × $20/mo = $4,000/mo
500 members × $25/mo = $12,500/mo
the top servers have WAITLISTS. people paying to get in
Claude builds every script you need: jobs, economy, housing, factions, police systems
you're not a developer. you're running a private club where members pay to stay
then grab gaming UGC clips and run them through an AI UGC engine (shorts, reels, TikToks)
BOOM, nearly free user acquisition
and you don't need to explain the demand. if they're watching GTA content, they're already dying to play. just show them your server exists
3. Build AI-powered NPC packs for server owners
RP servers live or die on immersion. right now most NPCs are lifeless markers on a map
connect Claude API to in-game NPCs and suddenly:
- shop owners haggle with players
- cops interrogate with real dialogue
- quest givers remember your backstory
- bartenders gossip about other players' crimes
no server has this yet. package it as a plug-and-play script at $200-500/server
100 servers and you feel good on what's nobody selling yet
4. Position yourself for the $240M GTA 6 creator economy
Rockstar acquired FiveM in 2023. launched the paid marketplace January 2026
currently hiring 4 Creator Platform roles
they're building the Roblox of GTA
Roblox paid creators $1B in 2025. top 10 averaged $33.9M each
GTA 6's player base is older, richer, and already spent $8.6B on GTA Online
the creator cut of that $8.6B was zero. because there was no creator economy
that changes with GTA 6
even if only 100,000 creators show up and it matches Roblox payouts
that's $10K/creator average. top 1% will clear $500K+
for making content inside a video game
this is the rare bottleneck where demand is guaranteed
6 months from now every niche will be taken
right now most of them are empty
the earlier you start, the less competition you face
it's your turn ❤️
Extremely disappointed with @honda2wheelerin. I’ve been a loyal customer for 11 years, but my recent experience buying an SP 125 has been a nightmare.
I made the full payment only after a clear commitment from the sales team for delivery on April 4th.
The shift in behavior after taking my hard earned money is shocking. No proactive updates, just pure mismanagement. This is not how you treat a decade of loyalty. Fix this!

US customs data is public. every single shipment entering the country is logged
company names, factory names, volumes, dates.
importyeti makes it searchable. find a competitor doing $500k/mo. search their company name. see exactly which factory in china they're sourcing from, how often they reorder, and at what volume. contact that same factory directly. order the same product with your logo on it. you're now sourcing from the exact same manufacturer and they have absolutely no idea.
this takes about 15 minutes and it's completely legal. the amount of people paying 3x markup on aliexpress when the actual factory is one search away is genuinely embarrassing lol
I have paid for a product that I cannot use due to this unprofessional and arrogant lack of coordination. Since I can no longer trust your representatives to provide basic service, I am forced to handle the installation and setup myself.
I recently purchased an @IFBAppliances refrigerator, despite being warned by many about inconsistent service quality and parts availability issues. I chose to support an Indian brand regardless, but unfortunately, those warnings have proven true.
My refrigerator is currently sitting at home unused because the installation technician is nowhere to be found. The service center claims installation isn't their responsibility and tells me to contact IFB, while IFB representatives insist I contact the service center.
Productivity was built for average minds. Flow is how genius works. Productivity culture was designed to make factories and offices run smoothly. Genius doesn't operate within those constraints. Genius thrives in deep immersive states where cognition is fully engaged and complex patterns emerge. These states aren't indulgences they are the conditions under which original thought is produced. When high-capacity minds are "forced" into systems optimized for routine their output flattens to match the structure. But when they are given the space to enter sustained flow they generate work that shifts industries creates new paradigms and advances the collective.
Flow isnt -> escape, it's actually the natural habitat of a genius.
im not an "elite engineer" (yet :)).
But my mindset is very simple. During interviews and even in my 1st week at any company, whenever I have a conversation with the CEO, I ask a simple question: “What is the hardest eng problem we’re facing right now that’s stopping us from growing 10x?”
They share their biggest challenges, and I focus my energy entirely on solving those problems. I pour all my effort into that.
If the problems don’t defy the laws of physics, they can be solved and I help make that happen.
If it’s a small startup, they usually have other problems beyond engineering like GTM, marketing, sales, and hiring. I try to be helpful there too, and previous CEOs have appreciated that because I was consistently solving their most critical problems apart from just engineering.
One thing is for sure: when I commit myself to solving a tough engg problem, even if it takes longer, ill come up with the best possible solution, considering every edge case and factor. for me, that’s a competitive sport.
I don’t like to rank 2nd - I want to be the best at everything I do. Otherwise, I get frustrated with myself.
Also, thinking differently from the 99% puts you in better positions + leads to more opportunities.
The only question is "are you helpful?"
Address matching is a super interesting problem and something I highly recommend trying to solve from scratch. The core idea is to determine whether two addresses refer to the same location, for example
- 221B Baker St., London NW1 6XE, UK
- 221-B Baker Street, NW1 6XE London, United Kingdom
The core problem statement is to identify if two slightly different-looking address strings actually refer to the same physical location. Things become interesting as you would need to accommodate typos, abbreviations, formatting differences, missing components, or even language variations.
If you give this a shot, you will learn about
- fuzzy string matching
- normalizing and parsing text data
- rule-based vs machine learning-based entity resolution
- improve match accuracy with geospatial data
Again, use the LLM of your choice, but make sure you dig deeper and understand all the nuances.
Hope it helps. Have fun.
I know most folks already know this but..
If something is obvious to you, and it’s NOT obvious to everyone else, then do something about it (start a company, invest, join etc).
All of my greatest mistakes in my career have come from not acting on that knowledge / instinct.

Elon is extremely productive while working extremely long hours. Despite running multiple companies, every single one executes in warp speed — faster than rivals who have CEOs only need to run a single company.
Many companies try (or have tried) to take on Elon, but their leaderships are not willing to give up comfort and have neither qualities.
I have learned a lot after all these years. It is incredible.
