🚨 ULTIMA HORA : Un chico de 25 años acaba de recibir una oferta de 60.000 millones de dólares de SpaceX. Y lo más loco es que no gastó ni un dólar en marketing.
Michael Truell empezó a programar a los 11 años, hizo prácticas en Google a los 18, abandonó el MIT y fundó una empresa que fracasó.
Luego pivotó y construyó Cursor, un editor de código con IA que escribe software por ti.
Lo que pasó después rompió todos los récords de la historia del SaaS. 100 millones de dólares en ingresos anuales en 12 meses.
500 millones al mes 21. 1.000 millones en noviembre de 2025. 2.000 millones en febrero de 2026. Proyección de 6.000 millones antes de que acabe el año.
Sin un solo comercial. Sin anuncios. Sin growth hacking. Solo desarrolladores que no podían dejar de hablar de él.
El 70% de las empresas del Fortune 1000 lo usan. Los 40.000 ingenieros de Nvidia lo usan. Coinbase tiene el 100% de adopción entre sus devs. Se aceptan mil millones de líneas de código al día.
Pero el problema no era el mercado. Era físico. No había suficientes GPUs en el mundo para entrenar su próximo modelo. El dinero no podía solucionar eso.
Ahí entró Elon Musk. SpaceX ofrece 60.000 millones por Cursor y acceso inmediato a Colossus, el superordenador equivalente a un millón de H100 de Nvidia, durante nueve meses. Si al final no compran, pagan 10.000 millones como penalización. La mayor cláusula de ruptura en la historia corporativa.
No hay escenario en el que Truell pierda.
Y para cerrar el círculo: Alameda Research, el brazo inversor de FTX, entró en el capital de Cursor en 2022. Cuando FTX quebró, los liquidadores vendieron esa participación por 200.000 dólares.
Hoy vale aproximadamente 3.000 millones. Sam Bankman-Fried lo llamó la peor decisión de liquidación en la historia del venture capital. Desde la cárcel.

One man is building the future.
• Tesla - how we move
• SpaceX - how we leave Earth
• Neuralink - how we think
• Starlink - how we connect
• xAI - how AI evolves
• X - how we communicate
• Robotaxi - autonomous transport
• Boring Company - how cities move
All of it.
He’s not even 60.
Terrifying or inspiring?

Elon Musk on the biggest mistake he made when hiring
“The biggest mistake I made is to put too much of a weighting on somebody’s talent and not much on their personality. It actually matters whether somebody has a good heart”
He learned that prioritizing talent over personality was one of the biggest hiring mistakes
Skills matter, but personality shapes team dynamics, cultural fit, and long-term success. Someone brilliant but difficult can create toxicity, damage morale, and disrupt collaboration.
Technical abilities can be developed, but core character is much harder to change. Hiring people who genuinely care about others and the mission helps build healthier, stronger, and more effective teams.

@aakashgupta Now that’s Smart, Visionary, Risk taker and that’s what Chamath is all about!! Congratulations to him and his Awesome Team on this Bold Investment and its Outcome now !
English

Social Capital put $10M into Groq’s seed round in April 2017 when the company was worth roughly $30M post-money. That single check bought about 33% of the company. Then they doubled down with $52.3M in a 2018 convertible note.
Total deployed: $62.3M.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Groq raised $300M at $1.1B in 2021, then $640M at $2.8B in 2024, then $750M at $6.9B in September 2025. Each round diluted early investors. But Social Capital had board seats and likely maintained some pro-rata through the convertible.
Conservative math: They own somewhere between 15-20% of Groq today. At $20B, that’s $3B to $4B in value.
$62M in. $3-4B out. That’s a 50-65x return in 8 years.
For context, this single investment is worth more than Social Capital’s entire fund size in 2015 ($1.1B). One bet. Eight years. 50x.
The timing is the wildest part. Chamath invested in custom AI chips in 2017, years before ChatGPT made inference compute a thing. He sat on the board until 2021, then stepped back right as the company was entering its growth phase.
Now Nvidia is paying $20B in cash because they need Groq’s LPU architecture for inference at scale. Jensen is essentially writing Chamath a check for being early on the inference bottleneck.
Say what you want about his SPACs. This one makes up for a lot of Clover Health bags.

🇨🇦 Every Canadian should read this twice:
🇨🇦 Canada ranks—
🥇 1st in uranium
🥇 1st in potash
🥈 2nd in nickel
🥉 3rd in oil
🏅 5th in gold
💧 1st in freshwater
Countries start wars for LESS than this.
And somehow we are told we’re too poor to cut taxes, too broke to build homes, too weak to compete, too small to matter.
It took historic levels of incompetence and ideological sabotage to bury a country this blessed.
Imagine where Canada would be if we were actually allowed to win.
