@sama We start flying them next year. Maybe you can come see them if your parole officer approves.

After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of Apple’s phone technology! Wow.

What do you plan for an encore? That’s tough to beat.

One of Elon Musk’s companies, Tesla, is making cars for blind people.

Another one of his companies, Neuralink, is working on restoring sight to the blind.

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@FoxNews Mamdani has built nothing. He is a taker, never a maker.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

The first minute of action is worth more than a year of perfect planning.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

Socialism is like a parasite. It needs a healthy capitalist host to survive.

It doesn't create much new wealth on its own. It mostly feeds off the productivity, innovation, and surplus that free markets generate. History keeps proving it.

The people who really want to see you win, will help you win.

[TMK @themagaking]

Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people.

AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs.

One creates. The other destroys.

They are not the same.

“It is certainly hard to believe that a little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public with the largest IPO ever.”

Only in America. Congratulations to @elonmusk @SpaceX. This is the American Dream 🇺🇸💪🚀

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Very inspiring words from Elon Musk today:

"I always think about this. There are always problems on earth. There’s always things that we wish to be better, that we want to solve on Earth, and we should solve them. But there there also has to be things that get you excited about the future — that make you glad to wake up in the morning, because you can’t wait to see what happens next.

That’s the future @SpaceX wants to bring to you."

Let’s goooooo🚀

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I love the incredible people of SpaceX beyond words

If you don’t want this moment, then you will never be happy.

you don’t have to lower your self respect to show respect to someone

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

In awe of SpaceX and its story - past, present and the future. You can think about it in 10+ different ways and continue re-blowing your mind in circles. Huge congrats to the team! 🚀

The simplest way to outperform almost everyone in your field is to become addicted to the boredom of repetition.

"This is the foundation of my philosophy: I am
curious about the nature of the universe... and obviously I will die... But I would like to know that we are on a path to understanding the nature of the universe and the meaning of life and what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe"
