@bcherny @bcherny Great summary. Just creating a basic stack with sub-agents and a good set of skills. Btw. did you see my message 😇?

Really great writeup

We just passed React on GitHub stars. 🦞 Let that sink in. A personal AI assistant built by a lobster-obsessed Austrian and an army of crustacean enthusiasts just outstarred the library that powers half the internet. We shipped 90+ changes today. They shipped a conference.

@elonmusk Perfect. So I can hide your crap? 😀

You can now select topics for your timeline, so if you’re tired of political ragebait, you can select something else 😂 Just tap on For You.

Dear @DarioAmodei and @AnthropicAI. Why can‘t our team in Kosovo use Claude? We would love to use Claude Code in our projects. Appreciate your help 👏

@elonmusk @AnthropicAI Is there somebody a little bit jealous?! 😇

Your AI hates Whites & Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals and men. This is misanthropic and evil. Fix it. Frankly, I don’t think there is anything you can do to escape the inevitable irony of Anthropic ending up being Misanthropic. You were doomed to this fate when you chose your name. The Name of the Wind.

We’ve raised $30B in funding at a $380B post-money valuation. This investment will help us deepen our research, continue to innovate in products, and ensure we have the resources to power our infrastructure expansion as we make Claude available everywhere our customers are.

@elonmusk What a waste of resources and money 🤦‍♂️

This will be so awesome 🤩

@elonmusk What a waste of money and resources!

SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩

@aakashgupta It‘s such a waste of time and resources 🤷‍♂️

A city on the Moon will cost somewhere between $100B and $500B, require thousands of Starship flights, and demand a decade of nonstop construction in a place where the temperature swings 400°C between day and night, the dust cuts through metal seals like sandpaper, and a single cracked habitat window means everyone inside is dead in about 90 seconds. Musk just announced SpaceX is doing it anyway. Here’s the actual engineering path. You build at the south pole. Specifically the rims and floors of craters like Shackleton and Cabeus, where temperatures in permanent shadow drop below -230°C. NASA estimates 600 million metric tons of water ice are buried in these craters under about 40 cm of dry regolith. That water becomes your oxygen supply, your drinking water, your radiation shielding, and 78% of your rocket propellant by mass. The crater rims get near-continuous sunlight for solar power. You build where the resources are. Getting there is where it gets wild. Every Starship lunar mission requires 10-15 tanker flights to fill 1,200 tons of propellant in Earth orbit before the ship can even leave. One cargo delivery to the lunar surface burns through roughly 12 Starship launches. Starship V3 lands 100 metric tons per trip. The Moon is 2 days away with launch windows every 10 days. Mars gets one window every 26 months with a 6-month flight. That 13x iteration advantage is why Musk pivoted. The first 20-30 landings are all cargo. No humans. You’re sending solar arrays for the crater rims targeting 100+ kW continuous, nuclear fission reactors for the 14-day lunar night, ISRU rigs that mine ice from regolith and electrolyze it into hydrogen and oxygen, pressurized hab modules, and autonomous rovers that 3D-print structures from lunar soil using concentrated solar heat. Each landed Starship also stays as a permanent building. 50 meters tall, 9 meters wide, 1,100 cubic meters of pressurized volume. The ISS has 916 cubic meters and took 13 years to assemble. Three Starships on the surface already exceed that. The economics flip the moment you start producing oxygen on the Moon. You stop shipping 78% of your propellant from Earth. Tanker flights per mission drop from 15 to about 4. Every ton produced locally frees up mass budget on the next inbound Starship for more construction equipment, food systems, and mining hardware. The base starts building the base. That’s what “self-growing” means. Compound logistics where each delivery makes the next delivery cheaper. 2027: first uncrewed Starship lunar landing. SpaceX told investors March 2027. 2028-2030: cargo buildup, 30-50 deliveries, all robotic, ISRU prototypes go operational. 2030-2032: first crews arrive, probably 6-12 people, 6-month rotations, running equipment maintenance and scaling propellant production. 2033-2035: permanent population hits 50-100, propellant depot goes up in low lunar orbit so arriving ships refuel before descent. 2035 onward: population grows past 100, agricultural modules come online, the base becomes partially self-sustaining. The unsolved problems are real. Lunar dust is electrostatically charged and sharp as broken glass. It shreds seals, clogs machinery, and embeds in lung tissue. Nobody has a long-duration fix. Radiation on the surface runs 200x Earth’s dose. Regolith shelters and water shielding help but add enormous construction overhead. The 14-day night drops temperatures to -173°C and kills all solar power, and the only flight-ready nuclear reactors produce 1-10 kW, far below what a growing base demands. What years of 1/6 gravity do to human bone density and cardiovascular systems is completely unknown. SpaceX is valued at a trillion dollars and just told investors the Moon comes first. They’re betting that proving lunar logistics at commercial cadence builds the playbook for Mars. The Moon is a 2-day test lab with a 12-day resupply cycle. Mars is a 6-month voyage with a 2.5-year wait if anything breaks. It makes sense.

@elonmusk What a waste of resources 🤷‍♂️. I don’t understand why so much money is wasted to plan building something on the Moon and on Mars. It would be much smarter investing into solving problems we have on our planet!

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

@GoeringEckardt Deutschland braucht mehr: Kapital für Bildung, das Gesundheitswesen, unsere Straßen und für den rigorosen Bürokratieabbau!

Die Ukraine braucht mehr. Mehr Luftabwehr, mehr Munition, mehr Taurus, mehr Ersatzteile, mehr Heizkraftwerke, mehr Generatoren, mehr Sanktionen gegen Russland. Von allem mehr. Reale, konkrete Hilfe, nicht nur Worte und Versprechungen. Ich mache mich auf den Weg nach Kyjiw. Um diejenigen zu unterstützen, die ausharren, die erschöpft sind und dennoch entschlossen. Und deutlich zu machen: Deutschland und Europa müssen handeln. Und zwar jetzt.

@bundeskanzler Also ich spüre von dieser Entlastung noch nichts 🤷‍♂️.

Die gesunkene Zahl der Asyl-Erstanträge zeigt, dass wir den richtigen Kurs eingeschlagen haben: Mit Zurückweisungen, mehr Steuerung und Rückführungen im Einklang mit europäischem Recht entlasten wir Landkreise und Städte in Deutschland.

@KubickiWo DDR, bist du es?!

Berlin ist ein Failed State und die Inkompetenz seiner Regierung eine Gefahr für die Gesundheit seiner Bürger. WK

@bundeskanzler Bürokratieabbau, wann? Unternehmer unterstützen, wann? Geld im Inland belassen, wann?

Für unsere Sicherheit und unseren Wohlstand brauchen wir neue strategische Partner. Wir bauen Abhängigkeiten ab, verringern Risiken und schaffen neue Möglichkeiten. Dafür bin ich heute an den Golf gereist: nach Saudi-Arabien, Katar und die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate.

@Karl_Lauterbach Gott, lass Hirn regnen. Wann setzt irgendjemand in der aktuellen Regierung wirklich mal den gesunden Menschenverstand ein?! Wir diskutieren hier über totalen Nonsens und machen uns international zum Gespött. Das ist ja nicht mehr auszuhalten. Wann finden Neuwahlen statt?

Salzstreu-Verzicht ist unsinnig. Für ältere Menschen sind Brüche der Oberschenkel oft der Verlust ihrer Mobilität und Stürze auf den Kopf können zu Tod oder Demenz führen. Der Regierende Bürgermeister bettelt auf X für eine Reform statt die Mehrheiten im Sommer besorgt zu haben.

@realDonaldTrump Ah no, Sir 😎. A wise man told me to don’t waste my time with trash 🤷‍♂️

Last night I saw, “MELANIA,” for the second time. The audience loved it, and so do I. Check it out — A MUST SEE! amazon.com/salp/melaniamo…

@bundeskanzler Wir wäre es endlich mal mit Loslegen statt sich nur mit schwachsinnigen Vorschlägen der bald einstelligen @spdbt zu beschäftigen?! Dazu gehört auch, endlich mal die ausufernde Staatsquote und -ausgaben zu senken. Wir sprechen von 400Mrd auf Bundes- und Landesebene. Das ist krank!

Der Anstieg der Arbeitslosenzahl auf mehr als drei Millionen ist ein Alarmsignal. Das gilt auch für Firmeninsolvenzen. Wir haben bereits viele Hilfen für die Wirtschaft beschlossen. Aber es reicht noch nicht. Der Wirtschaftsaufschwung muss zentrales Thema dieses Jahres sein.
