I'm increasingly convinced that burnout doesn't come from working long hours or weekends. The people I know who burned out were the ones who were really bored with their work, not the ones who worked the most hours. Burnout comes from working on things that don't energize you.

@pmarca on Elon’s ability to reconcile the fountain of ideas while being a systematic builder requires two key inputs. 1. Extreme focus on substance. 2. Extreme focus on getting to the truth…. Overlap with @DavidGeorge83 concept on founders who are “Technical Terminators”

The combination of short form/long form + multimodal is a great rubric here as it allows for constant consumption across disparate setting/activity/environments.

Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸@pmarca

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

Congrats @elevenlabs on the $500M raise. When signing the Series A term sheet, @matiii and I talked about reaching the $11B valuation milestone. It only took 3 years to get here, with a strong close in 2025 with $330M in ARR. We are releasing something special soon. Excited to show everyone the DNA of this incredible company.

We raised $500M at an $11B valuation to transform how people interact with technology.
