FYI: Context on why Elon Musk reportedly told Greg Brockman: "By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be." OpenAI's filing claims Elon Musk messaged Brockman two days before the trial began to gauge a settlement. When Brockman suggested both sides drop their claims, Elon Musk fired back with that line. Now things are starting to make sense. During today's testimony, Brockman confirmed his stake in OpenAI's for-profit arm is worth $20 to $30 billion, even though he invested $0 to get it. The same OpenAI that started as a nonprofit, funded by donations including Elon Musk's $38 million. If you step back and look at it like a normal person: Someone donated millions to a nonprofit set up to benefit humanity. The people running it slowly turned it into a for-profit, pushed the donor out in a tricky way, and quietly built personal stakes worth tens of billions. The donor, who was always told the project was nonprofit, never got an honest answer about any of it. That is the case Elon Musk is making in court. And every day, more pieces of it become public.

BREAKING: OpenAI President Greg Brockman takes the stand, and his opening testimony reveals his stake in the company that started as a nonprofit may now be worth $20 to $30 billion. Under questioning by Elon Musk's lawyer Steven Molo, Brockman confirmed he co-founded OpenAI in 2015 as a nonprofit and served as its chief technology officer. In 2019, OpenAI launched a capped-profit arm, with Brockman receiving an ownership stake. The key exchange came when Robert K. Kry pressed him on the value of that stake. "Your ownership interest in this for-profit is valued today at more than $20,000,000,000. Correct?" Brockman: "Yes." "In fact, it may be closer to $30,000,000,000. Correct?" Brockman: "I think that may be true. Yes." He also confirmed he invested $0 to acquire that stake. The testimony cuts to the heart of Elon Musk's lawsuit, which argues OpenAI walked away from its nonprofit roots so insiders could cash in.

@Docquistador The desire to doom humanity to extinction is evil. I can fully explain that, in fact I think I just did?

This is getting crazy, 5 launch pads already in production with potentially 2 more pads in Louisiana. I couldn’t image the cadence in 5-7 years when all 7 pads are online and at full cadence. If SpaceX is able to do 170 Falcon 9 launches with 3 pads doing ASDS method and Partial reusability, imagine the cadence with 7 launch pads, Full RTLS, and full reusability.

@FireBlogger Maybe spend some time reading what people who have thought about this for decades have written before writing a bunch yourself.

Inhabiting Mars means that when you lift off towards the distant sphere, you likely aren't coming back. But even if they reduce the round-trip time to 9 months, is it worth that much lost time sitting in a capsule? And what do you do once you are on Mars? No matter how big the living domes are, your options for long strolls are severely limited. The logistics of replenishing food supplies are rarely discussed. No one wants to eat rehydrated meals forever. Elon Musk is a hero, supersmart, unselfish, and forward-thinking. Our home is powered by Tesla solar and batteries. It seems the #Mars subject is a reach. sherwood.news/tech/spacex-co…

@AdamHugo @TheDougFiles @LCFranklin40k it's interesting that i was not actually specifically implying national origin nor race when i said "certain kinds" but that is who you implicitly associated with "lower-income people who are having lots of kids". you need not pretend that you weren't signaling this meaning

so you're telling me spirit airlines was in trouble, knew they had to do something, and attempted to participate in the free market by allowing jetblue to acquire them. the government then stepped in and said, “no, you’re not allowed to participate in the free market, " denying the acquisition. so then spirit, knowing that they were about to fail, seeks a government bailout, only to be told, "no, you must participate in the free market” to which they were denied participation in. this doesn’t seem like free market capitalism to me.

Do I think that the government should structure itself so that certain families can't afford kids because they make a little too much to qualify for benefits, while others who make very little are subsidized? No. Do I think that bringing in non- Americans from any country (no matter their irrelevant race) to fix America's birth rate is the solution? No.

Greg’s a good man. I hear he’s got a new job in DC that will be instrumental for US space development, but I’m not sure I am allowed to tell what it is yet. All I can say for now is that he is a highly recommended follow. @GregWAutry

587 days. That's how long the Canadian healthcare system took to call me back about the spinal surgery I needed immediately or risk losing the use of my legs. In 2024, I broke my back in Singapore. The neurosurgeon there said surgery was urgent. After 3 weeks fighting my insurance from a hospital bed, I flew home with medical support. The Canadian hospital quoted an 8-month wait. I'm lucky I could afford to go private. The next day, I had the operation. Today, 587 DAYS LATER, the public hospital called to say they're ready for me. People say Canadian healthcare is free and great. It's neither. It's horrible!
