.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
Elon casually suggested Neuralink could eventually give humans a “math co-processor.”
Which is an absolutely insane sentence to read in 2026.
His point is actually interesting though:
human brains never evolved specifically for advanced mathematics.
AI systems basically did.
So Neuralink potentially adding direct computational assistance to human thinking starts sounding less like sci-fi and more like cognitive hardware expansion.
Human brains may eventually get upgrades.
@Neuralink
The “it’s not AGI because machine intelligence is jagged” is dumb cope.
It’s obviously AGI. If you had a friend who had a 130 IQ, could write production code flawlessly, could write academic papers of a high research caliber, pass any exam in any field with flying colors, create a sophisticate LBO model, draw technical diagrams perfectly, compose poetry in any language, and could find solutions to significant unsolved mathematical problems, you would call that person a world historical genius. Certainly, no single human has ever had intelligence that “general” before.
Now you think it’s “not AGI” because it sometimes slips up and makes mistakes - so does any human that you would consider “extraordinarily intelligent.”
The professor might forget a colleagues name that he has known for a decade. He is still considered intelligent. The math genius might be a little autistic and shy, unable to maintain polite conversation. Still intelligent. You might stare at the fridge for 30 seconds unable to find the butter, despite 5 million years of evolution perfecting your visual intelligence.
We give intelligent humans a pass when they have jagged intelligence. So why the double standard?
The qualities people list as “necessary for AGI” are important traits to have, but no longer pertain to intelligence. People will say things like “true AGI requires agency, long term goal setting, embodiment, self-direct action”.
But none of those things are intelligence. Those are “things that humans have that AI lacks”. Raw intelligence, AI has it in spades. That other stuff - important yet, but broader than and different from intelligence.
The unwillingness of people to acknowledge that AGI obviously exists and has existed for a while is due to a kind of anthropic chauvinism - a psychological need to believe that humans are superior in every respect, that we possess soft skills that no machine could replicate.
Yes humans are different from machines, but if we are limiting the discussion solely to general intelligence, AI has it already. That battle is over.
If you want to reframe the discussion to matters of human dignity and personhood, fine, but that’s not an AGI question. That’s something else. Just take the loss on AGI already. It’s over.
@CSI_Starbase Oh wow! He did a thing that’s already being done, what’s next maybe low orbit satellite internet, then AI data centers in space! Bezos is really a bottom feeder. They don’t call him “sleepy eye” for nothing!
Jensen Huang just told Silicon Valley it’s fighting on the wrong floor.
Every boardroom in tech is locked on the same question. Which model wins. OpenAI or xAI. GPT or Claude. Grok or Gemini.
Trillions moving on that bet alone.
Huang zoomed out and showed them the whole building.
Huang: “AI is actually essentially a five-layer cake.”
Energy at the bottom. Chips above it. Cloud above that. Models next. Applications on top.
Five layers. One war. Everyone crowded onto the fourth floor.
Huang: “This is where most people think AI is.”
He was pointing at the model layer. Every pitch deck. Every valuation. Every founder story. All packed onto one floor.
One floor below the finish line. Three above the foundation. The middle of the building.
Huang: “At the bottom is energy.”
Not data. Not parameters. Not talent.
Power.
You cannot out-code the grid. You cannot train a frontier model with a press release. The smartest model on Earth still needs a dumb turbine spinning somewhere.
The smartest engineers alive are building on top of someone else’s silicon, inside someone else’s cloud, powered by someone else’s electricity.
They own nothing beneath them.
Huang: “This layer on top ultimately is where economic benefit will happen.”
Healthcare. Finance. Manufacturing. The only floors where AI actually meets money.
Every dollar of real value lives at the top. Every physical constraint that decides who gets to play lives at the bottom.
The model sits in between. Squeezed from above and below and owning neither end.
Silicon Valley is burning hundreds of billions to build plumbing for somebody else’s economy.
The basement decides if it runs. The penthouse decides if it pays.
The companies building models think they are building the future.
Huang just told them they are the middle layer in someone else’s cake.
SpaceX is counting down to the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from California, carrying another 25 satellites for its Starlink internet service. Liftoff is currently scheduled for 9:29:49 p.m. PDT (12:29:49 a.m. EDT / 04:29:49 UTC). File 📷 SpaceX. https://t.co/2rz1MiPWvQ
