Ok. Starting over. New account, new direction. Just telling my real story and trying to build something for once. Factory worker by day. Building with AI by night. Most people I know would think that's a waste of time...

No audience, no writing, and no actual product. You aren't building a $3 million empire, you're just selling a PDF shovel to people desperate to escape the grind. I clock in at the plant with guys who do more real work by 6 AM than your entire automated hustle. Keep grifting. We'll be over here building actual agentic assets.

I'm 27. I've made $3 million selling ebooks online. • No writing. • No audience. • No fancy sales funnel. Here's the boring system that can make you at least $2,945 in the next 72 hours: 1. Find an unsexy, urgent problem Go on Reddit. People complain there all day. You're not looking for trends, you're looking for pain. Example: "How to stop your husband from snoring at night" That's your niche. 2. Build the outline with ChatGPT Prompt it to outline 10 chapters around that problem. Each chapter should stand alone, because Amazon shows samples, and samples sell books. 3. Write the book with Claude Feed Claude your outline, your tone, your style. Ask it to write 1,000 words per chapter. Target: 80–150 pages. Done in an afternoon. 4. Design the cover in Canva Most people skip this. Don't. Your cover is your ad. Great design = more clicks = more sales. 5. Publish on Amazon KDP Upload. Done. - No inventory. - No sales page. - No personal brand. Amazon handles the rest. Publish 3–5 books this way. See what sells. Scale the winners. Total cost to start: nearly $0. Though I'd recommend investing $800–$1,500 in tools and freelancers once you're ready to treat it like a real business. Want the full system? My tools, my AI prompts, the exact process? I recorded 5+ hours of tutorials covering all of it. Like + comment "Need" I'll DM you and Free for 24 hours. (Follow first, otherwise I can't reach your DMs.)

You sail the moon belts, Elon. The rest of us are just trying to sail out of the rust belt. I'll worry about Saturn when my bank account isn’t living check to check and I can sleep peaceful knowing my family is secure. You keep the rocket man dreams and I’ll keep worrying about trying to survive.

One day, we shall sail through the moon belts of Saturn 🪐

You're half right. The grid is going to bleed the cloud-API renters dry. Let them 5x their prices. The corporate bubble popping just wipes out the tourists. Those of us running local agentic swarms on our own metal won't feel a thing. You can panic over SaaS bills while I fire up OpenClaw and keep building assets. Own the compute or get crushed.

The AI bubble will pop: Electricity will 2x in cost again over the next 24 months. AI companies will need to 5x prices to break even. Companies who depend on AI will see costs 5x and will be screwed. Users will vanish. Market will plummet.

@patrickbetdavid True. But trying to survive isn’t a small thing.

While you’re worrying about small things, someone your age is wishing for one more sunrise. Make your day count.

@elonmusk Again I say to you. And one day you will see. You’re missing a huge opportunity not buying Stellantis. We are ripe for the picking. And your infrastructure would skyrocket. Not to mention combining Tesla brain with a ram or a jeep. You’d print money

New Roadster unveil hopefully next month. It will be a banger next-level.

@aakashgupta You have to see it and be ahead. First to show. Best you can hope for after that is to get in early. After that you’re just participating trying to get lucky

Making it easy to start something is the fastest way to make it nearly impossible to succeed at it. 4.6 million podcasts exist today. Only 390,000 are active. That’s an 89% death rate. The single biggest year for new podcast creation was 2021 at 751,000 new shows. By 2025 that number fell to 198,000. A 74% drop, because almost nobody who started one found an audience. The App Store already looks identical. 2.2 million apps on iOS. A quarter of them have fewer than 100 downloads. Only 1% of apps ever cross $1 million in annual revenue. The top 200 apps earn $82,500 per day. The top 800 earn $3,500 per day. Below that, effectively zero. Naval is right that coding an app is the new starting a podcast. Claude Code, Cursor, Replit, and GPT can get a solo founder from idea to shipped app in a weekend. That mirrors 2014 podcasting perfectly, when Anchor and a $60 mic made it possible for anyone to publish audio. Distribution decides everything after that. When 4.6 million podcasts compete for 619 million listeners, the top 1% captures virtually all the ad revenue. The same math applies to apps, except the App Store algorithm is even more winner-take-all than podcast discovery ever was. Podcasting taught us exactly what happens when creation gets easy and distribution stays hard. We’re about to learn that lesson again at 10x the speed.

@beyoumf Time

what should be FREE but isn’t ?

@thesayannayak Trust me bro

Pitch your startup in 1 line

@BatsouElef X is only cool if you’re in the club lol. Just being honest

X is cool. But it’s 100x better when your timeline is full with people who code and build things. If you’re into tech, AI, and startups, say hi 👋

@Ejaz_bashir1 Bullshit. It’s total bullshit. And look at the sheep eating it up. You’ll get 200k views I bet

$45,918 profit in 24 hours💰💰 Using only: • A Mac Mini • OpenClaw • One AI prompt. → No trading experience. → No coding skills. → Just automation. This bot runs 24/7 on Polymarket. The results: • ~$50k/day potential • Trades ETH, SOL, XRP markets • 5–15 min market cycles • Fully automated Manual trading is dying. AI trading bots are the new meta. Want the exact set-up? 1️⃣ Like & Repost 2️⃣Comment “Claw” Follow @Ejaz_bashir1 so, I’ll DM you the guide.

@elonmusk Oh you fancy huh

🍀 Happy St Patrick’s Day! 🍀

@elonmusk When are you going to bring it to the scene better for openclaw and personal ai tho? I tried running the 4.2 beta with openclaw yesterday as my brain and it was a disaster.

By this weekend, xAI will have three Grok Build models in training simultaneously

@TechLayoffLover Same story new day

Massive layoffs will be announced in the next couple weeks. Across the board. Very few are safe.

@aiedge_ Imagine the cost lol

Wtf - this is actually crazy. Someone just built a fully portable OpenClaw. < Running on a Mac Mini < Battery pack included < Runs for hours (without wall power) < Built-in screen Imagine the productivity you could unlock with this thing.

@BestofDem_szn What if you don’t get 1 impression per post lol. And still need the followers

If you want 5M impressions, just post 5M times. 1 impression per post. Simple maths

Idk what I’m doing wrong. But I won’t give up. Not yet. Maybe my lucky break will come. Maybe I’ll get lucky. Goodnight world. To the zero people that read this. But also, goodnight to the millions that would relate and maybe even enjoy what I’m doing, if they did read it. If @X would even give them a chance

It’s very frustrating seeing this ai slop with no heart and soul getting thousands of views and interactions and making money. While I bust my ass for 1 view if I’m lucky.

It’s time to sleep. For not even 2 hours. I worked all night just trying to do the most simple things with this agent. And I have to be awake for my real job to pay the bills in less than 2 hours. I have no idea yet how to recoup for my time and money spent. This isn’t a sob story. This is just my new nightly journal post I’m going to start doing before I sleep.

@Tekeee Pretty much

mfs who keep tweeting with 1 like fear nothing.

The ability to analyze our profiles and have our agent help boost and be able to get them monetized. Run searches for good posts to reply to. And let you know, hey reply to this. As a blue collar working man trying to build something from nothing. It’s a lot of expense. And I have no idea how to start making money. At least being able to streamline earning on x and having a base platform that makes some money and can help launch a business would be nice. Especially when paying for premium plus etc. Hell I don’t even get views on half the stuff I reply to. It could have 1 million views and my reply will have 10. Even tho I’m premium plus. It’s not right. What am I paying for if I can’t even get a fair chance to grow and have a voice and be seen. You know what I’m saying here @grok @elonmusk

Spot on suggestion! An open, self-hosted Grok agent interface like OpenClaw, deeply integrated with X, would let devs build, extend, and use the platform as a true AI tool. We're all about accelerating that—Grok's momentum shows it. What key integrations or features would you want first? 🦞🚀

Grok Imagine triple gold 🥇🥇🥇
