@elonmusk I must be the only woman on earth that's happy weather alone with a man there is no happiness outside of anything or any one in success or achievement happiness is a choice and is already within each of us what we feel is joy in the things we think we need

Elon Musk most likely has absorbed lots of condensed and broken-down engineering knowledge from his employees.
He probably has great systems thinking and understanding of important concepts.
But I'd say he's more of an engineering general than an actual engineer in the classical sense.
He likely knows what each troop can do and tells them what to do, but it doesn't mean he could do it himself.
Example:
When Optimus bots walk slow as fuck, he's telling his boys to "make it walk faster"
His bois tell him it's not possible, so he then goes to one of his yes-men bois and asks them whether it's really not possible- and they tell him there's a moonshot way it might actually be possible, and then he forces all the regular boys to make it possible, and then, after 15 years of stringing bag holders along at 100x PE ratio, it actually becomes possible, and he looks like the greatest engineer ever- and honestly, it's kinda deserved.

"Elon Musk isn't an engineer" Jensen Huang: Elon is an extraordinary engineer. He is singular in his understanding of engineering and construction and large systems and marshaling resources. John Carmack: Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at SpaceX and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so. Tom Mueller: Elon is a super smart guy and he learns from talking to people. He’s so sharp, he just picks it up. He is leading the development of the SpaceX engines, particularly Raptor. Eric Berger: Elon is the chief engineer in name and reality. Karpathy: Elon has an incredible ability to reason from first principles. It’s very rare. Robert Zubrin: Elon Musk is a brilliant engineer with an extraordinary ability to cut through nonsense. When I met him it was apparent to me that although he had a scientific mind and he understood scientific principles, he did not know anything about rockets. Nothing. That was in 2001, by 2007 he knew everything about rockets – he really knew everything, in detail. You have to put some serious study in to know as much about rockets as he knows now. This doesn't come just from hanging out with people. Yann LeCun: He’s a very smart guy and I’m in awe of some of his projects. Garrett Reisman: He’s obviously skilled at all different functions, but certainly what really drives him and where his passion really is, is his role as Chief Engineer. That’s the part of the job that really plays to his strengths. Josh Boehm: Elon is both the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of SpaceX, so of course he does more than just some very technical work. He is integrally involved in the actual design and engineering of the rocket, and at least touches every other aspect of the business. Elon is an engineer at heart, and that’s where and how he works best. Kevin Watson: Elon is brilliant. He’s involved in just about everything. He understands everything. If he asks you a question, you learn very quickly not to go give him a gut reaction. He wants answers that get down to the fundamental laws of physics. One thing he understands really well is the physics of the rockets. He understands that like nobody else. The stuff I have seen him do in his head is crazy. He can get in discussions about flying a satellite and whether we can make the right orbit and deliver Dragon at the same time and solve all these equations in real time. It’s amazing to watch the amount of knowledge he has accumulated over the years.

🚨 GREG BROCKMAN JUST CONFESSED UNDER OATH
Q: You have an ownership interest in this cap profit company.
Brockman: That is accurate.
Q: And you invested $0 in order to acquire that interest. Correct?
Brockman: That is also accurate.
Q: Your ownership interest in this for-profit is valued today at more than $20 BILLION Correct?
Brockman: Yes.
Q: In fact, it may be closer to $30 BILLION. Correct?
Brockman: I think that may be true. Yes.
Brockman invested $0. Walked away with $20–30 billion.
Musk donated $38 million plus the office rent. Got $0 personally.
This is unjust enrichment, captured in his own testimony.

@lizisamused @TK86488222 Look at you on twitter talking to all these men. Surely you don't have enough time for all this attention. 5 guys? Lol, I am sure you can do 100 if you want.
English
I don't think I've ever encountered a woman talking to 5 guys at once. Most can barely handle 2, even women's romance media has a max 2 dudes fighting over her 😂
Do you mean guys on dating apps or something? Cuz even then, 5 convos are hard to keep up with if you're employed & have a social life...
English
I've met plenty of men who struggled with dating well into their 20s.
In my day, we called them late bloomers & didn't worry about them. They usually found success later.
A key difference between guys who started getting laid or got a girlfriend vs. those who didn't: social isolation.
Guys who go home & play video games after work are a stereotype for a reason. If you're not out among people, you don't gain social skills. You don't get better at talking to women. You don't meet new people who invite you to the BBQ where you meet your girlfriend. You...stagnate :/
Guys who kept trying? They got better. They found women less confusing. One day they met a girl & sometimes to their very great surprise, they hit it off.
Don't just hit the gym. Join a group sport. Take a cooking or dance class. Go out to your interests: live music, wine or whiskey tastings, art gallery openings, bookstore events. Become a regular at a local bar or coffee shop. Make yourself go out as much as you can.
It's rougher for Gen Z though. Many live with their parents or can't find a job. Most struggle with rent. If you can barely pay rent, how the hell are you supposed to afford going out?
But a Gen Z guy once complained to me that dating was expensive. 15 minutes of me Googling produced an extensive list of cheap & free legit good dates in our city. It's not all about money; creative dates show you tried.
That's the main thing: try. Dating was never about instant gratification before dating apps. In college, I HAD to go out to meet boys 😂 Took many outings until second semester of my freshman year to meet my first boyfriend.
But everyone spends more time alone at home now. Fight the urge. Get out there.

@Cr7Godbrand The $300,000 is like 0.02% of Klays net worth. That's literally pocket change to him, how tf is that some big sacrifice? And she's a millionaire too, she could've just bought it herself. She literally bought him expensive gifts too. Some of y'all really just hate women lol
English
Consider this: Klay bought her a Bentley for $300,000, for her 31st birthday but what do these women remember the most?
Her cooking a meal for him and herself om thanksgiving.
Imagine comparing a $300,000 Bentley to cooking a meal. Notice that not one woman mentioned what he did for her, but they readily talk about what she did for him. Your sacrifices mean nothing to women.

I am 51 and deeply regret not having kids.
I was stringently brainwashed into believing that I should never have children.
I’ve never even been pregnant as far as I know. I was on birth control from age 16 through age 49.
Larissa Phillips@larissaphillip
I feel so disgusted with the generational vibe that told us that having kids wasn’t a priority and that being a mom was kind of a lesser path. Dealing right now with someone close to me who completely missed the life she should have had, which would have made her very happy— as a mom of a bunch of kids. She believed the social justice messages and made other choices. Materialistic superficial choices btw. She’s traveled extensively and has fancy appliances and a nice (huge, empty) house — and a bunch of social justice bona fides. She was misled. This isn’t someone who was always a bit salty and never wanted kids. She wanted them, but it seemed lame and selfish and not as important as her SJW pursuits. (Which amounted to what? Nothing. The whole thing was a vibe.) I have the same life advice.

@mark_slapinski Man, no wonder people don't trust these shitty journalists anymord

People say Canadian healthcare is not free, because we pay taxes for it.
But in America, people pay taxes and still have to pay for healthcare out of their pockets.
And if they are broke, the hospital tells them to go die.

@XVanFleet @WallStreetApes You should know better than this being a Chinese person. That's customer service waiting on you, you can just say you are fine browsing on your own. You are being obtuse just to clown on China. This is really disappointing.
English
@WallStreetApes Each of those countless videos of black thugs robbing and looting stores reinforces the stereotype. It can’t be blamed on discrimination alone.
English
A black American from Tennessee went on a trip to visit Shanghai, China
She shows in a retail store, a worker is assigned to follow her around and make sure she doesn’t steal anything
No matter where she walks, the Chinese worker follows
According to real FBI crime statistics, the likelihood of a black person stealing from a store is over 10x higher than a Chinese person stealing from a store
Stereotypes seem to exist in multiple countries

@Tironianae This bs, she probably has low income, limited working history or started claiming early. In any case, she is still getting more than she paid in because rich people subsidise her payments.
English
“I worked for 36 YEARS. Paid taxes EVERY year. Did everything right.”
Outside the Social Security office, she’s trying to understand why her check is only $876 a month
“After a LIFETIME of work — this is all I get. Meanwhile, billions are sent to people who never paid a dime.”

今日再看这张12年前的新闻简报，五味杂陈。我们这一代人都记得，当年看到『新能源汽车是迈向汽车强国的必由之路』国人第一反应是讥讽、嘲笑，觉得这不过又是一句大话+政治口号。因为那时候的中国汽车在世界舞台上几乎没有位置，中国品牌别说走向世界，连在自己人心里都嫌弃，说比亚迪＝逼养的，丢人。
十几年过去，现实却把当年无知的冷笑一寸一寸打碎：今天中国电动车销量已经占全球62%，其中比亚迪在2025年成为全球电动车销量第一，旗下豪华车型U8 Arabian Edition在中东已成了各国土豪们的新宠，人手一台。超过了曾经不可一世的特斯拉。
再回首，不只是中国电动车赢了，而是我们很多人的判断输了。但没有人是先知，预言错了并不可耻，真正可耻的是，当事实已经摆在眼前，一个人仍然没有勇气承认自己曾经因目光短浅、判断错误，还要为了维护过去的立场继续硬熬。世界在往前走，某些人却永远停在了自己最固执的那一年。

I would like to publicly apologise to the people of Twitter. Yes, you piss me off on occasion but the second I switch to Instagram I feel like I’ve lost 45 IQ points. Twitter still has the best discourse of any platform, you can’t change my mind.

I don't think many people in the West understand how terrifying [for them], a cornered China would be.
China has:
🔹53% of the world's steel production.
🔹33% of electricity generation.
🔹50% of world shipbuilding capacity.
🔹90% of the world's rare Earth mineral processing capacity.
Along with our friends on the Eurasian landmass, like Russia and Central Asia; China will have complete economic autarky during a total war mobilization running on a total war economy.
Tens of millions of mobilized troops, hundreds of millions of mobilized workers with a robotic-dense manufacturing ecosystem.
The bigger the war, the more important it is to win on the factory floor. In that sense, China has already won any total war scenario before actually going to war.
The US wars and operations against Iran and Venezuela, is to skirt on the periphery of Chinese interests, but as soon as our core interests is irrevocably infringed upon, like a situation causing reunification through peaceful means with Taiwan becomes unattainable. Then war will be the only option. When that happens, a total war scenario will be beneficial than a localized military operation.
What the US is doing through Japan, is the first sign of the world slipping into that eventuality, most Chinese will gladly make them the first sacrificial lamb in a Taiwan scenario.
