“They are smart … for humans” – future AI
Teslaconomics@Teslaconomics
Even when AI surpasses the combined intelligence of all humanity, I bet it will still look back at Starship amazed that humans built it

@elonmusk As of April 2026, 36 major airlines have publicly committed to using or installing Starlink for in-flight Wi-Fi. @SawyerMerritt @starlink

Starlink is a gamechanger
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
NEWS: UK carrier Virgin Atlantic has brought forward its plans to equip its aircraft with @Starlink Wi-Fi. The original plan was to install Starlink in Q3 of this year, but the revised plan will see the airline's first aircraft with Starlink in May (next month). VA says the first of its aircraft to be equipped with Starlink will be an Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, and the first flight equipped with the system will operate between London Heathrow Airport and New York JFK Airport. Starlink can be installed in a fraction of the time it takes other internet systems to be installed, so the rollout for other aircraft should be relatively quick.

Can confirm this first hand. We rebuilt almost the entire ad stack for X in 5 weeks with a team of 10 engineers. It’s been the hardest and most rewarding challenge of my career. We might publish a blog to tell the story of project Avicide.

Marc Andreessen highlights why the people who work for Elon Musk echo the exact same sentiment as those who worked for Steve Jobs. Even after difficult interactions or a sudden departure, they inevitably report that they did the best work of their entire lives because they were pushed to their absolute limits. What drives this intense environment is a demand for truth-seeking at all costs. People who criticize Elon often miss this fundamental trait. He genuinely wants to know the ground truth and has zero tolerance for anything else. When confronting bad news, he is absolutely ruthless and relentless in making sure he understands exactly what is actually going on. This level of radical transparency is shockingly rare in the business world. The typical startup founder operates on forced optimism, constantly putting on a brave face, telling everyone to have faith, and promising that everything will be great just to keep talent from leaving. Elon completely flips that standard script. He operates with pure urgency by simply telling the unfiltered truth, even when that truth is that the company will go bankrupt and die if they fail. In almost any other corporate environment, that level of blunt, existential dread would cause the talent pool to immediately bleed out. But for the teams working under him, that brutal honesty acts as the ultimate catalyst. It strips away the corporate fluff and forces them to rise to the occasion, leaving them with the undeniable realization that, much like the engineers who built the first iPhone, they just completed the greatest work of their careers.

There are so many lies about Elon Musk.
The truth is actually very simple.
He’s a straightforward guy who does everything he can to help all of humanity.

Most people have not even realized it yet, but Starlink just quietly became the invisible backbone of Earth
For decades, high-speed internet was a luxury of geography. If you lived outside a major city or dared to travel, you had no choice but to be disconnected from the world
We literally went from "can you hear me now?" dropped calls in the suburbs to you move anywhere in the world and you are covered by Starlink internet
Just look at what SpaceX has achieved so far:
→ Free, high-speed WiFi rolling out on thousands of flights, trains, and ships
→ Now officially live in over 150+ countries, territories, and global markets
→ Direct-to-Cell tech is turning standard smartphones into sat-phones with zero extra hardware
→ Flawless high-speed internet streaming in the middle of Antarctica
→ Serving as a critical lifeline for first responders and victims during major natural disasters
→ Providing unbreakable comms in active warzones and geopolitical conflicts
→ More than 11 MILLION+ active subscribers globally as of early 2026
→ Eliminating dead zones entirely - if you can see the sky, you can connect
"I think the single biggest thing you can do to lift people out of poverty and help them is giving them an internet connection because once you have the internet connection, you can learn anything for free on the internet, and you can also sell your goods and services to the global market" — Elon Musk
While legacy telecom providers are still struggling to lay cables in the dirt, SpaceX is actively building humanity’s collective nervous system in Low Earth Orbit
SpaceX is showing the world what it actually means to be connected on a magnitude we never thought possible

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.
That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.
Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”
The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.
That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.
But the education system still runs on its logic.
A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.
Neither is being served. Both are being processed.
Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”
AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.
One at a time. Every time.
It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.
It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.
A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.
The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.
No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.
Because the math doesn’t work.
AI doesn’t have that constraint.
Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”
The brain isn’t broken. The format is.
Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.
That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.
Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”
Four years. Six figures of debt.
And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.
The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.
Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”
The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.
The question isn’t whether the old model survives.
It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

A very interesting observation by Elon below. And it’s just one example.
Startups have brought more progress to the world this century than any NGO or government program. By far. When you hear NGO, think NoGO. They provide some incremental, mostly palliative care, but they don’t lead structural change for the better, and sometimes, achieve quite the opposite.
How can we do better? One idea: we should allow donations to corporations to be as tax-deductible as to NGOs. Unleash catalytic philanthropy.
I first had this thought when Larry Page reflected that were he to be hit by a bus, he should leave his entire estate to Elon Musk, instead of any non-profit he could think of, because he believes in the missions of SpaceX and Tesla and knows they are more likely to achieve their mission than any non-profit. And they become self-sustaining from internal cash flows; early donations are catalytic, and more rewarding to the donor than the unsustainable cost center inefficiency and waste of most NGOs.

Starlink has done more than any NGO to lift people out of poverty by connecting them with a means of education and a market for their good & services via the Internet
