Teach this 5 step first principle process at the lowest education level practical. I'd start in grade school.

@Bubblebathgirl What if the only reason Republican mid-term loss tendency was simply a result of past presidents not paying attention nor endorsing appropriately.

🇺🇸 President Trump’s Endorsements Dominate May 19 Primaries Trump-endorsed candidates went 37-0 last night — a perfect night across multiple states. 100% win rate for the endorsed slate. • Pennsylvania: 10-0 • Georgia: 9-0 • Alabama: 6-0 • Kentucky: 6-0 • Idaho: 5-0 • Oregon: 1-0 Strong showing for America First priorities heading into the midterms.

@tslaming I think Elon is correct that our purpose as humans is likely to be the bootloader of AGI and advancement of human consciousness throughout the universe.

Elon Musk just sat down with Forbes to share his candid reactions to the OpenAI lawsuit outcome. During the interview, he expanded on his ultimate goals for both SpaceX and Neuralink, while also making a compelling case for why the future of massive AI computing infrastructure must be built in space. Here is a look at the most fascinating highlights from the discussion: ⚖️ The danger of converting non profits to for profits Musk strongly criticized the recent OpenAI lawsuit verdict and the precedent it sets. He argued that allowing a company to take charitable funds as a non profit and later convert to a highly valued for profit entity severely undermines the foundation of charitable giving. "And I think this is a dangerous precedent to set, because if, if it means that someone can, um, start, take money as a nonprofit, convert that to a full profit when it's successful, um, if undermines old charitable giving in America." 🚀 Building a self sustaining multi planetary civilization The primary goal for SpaceX is to develop a fully reusable orbital rocket capable of transporting massive tonnage to the moon and Mars. A truly space faring civilization requires enough industrial base to continue growing even if resupply ships from Earth stop coming. "Um, and hopefully we will make, uh, a fundamental breakthrough later this year, which is how the, the, the first fully reusable, uh, orbital rocket, um, which is necessary in order to transport enough tonnage, uh, to the moon or Mars to create a self, uh, a self growing city, um, basically to extend civilization to an up to other planets." 🧠 Achieving medical miracles with brain machine interfaces Musk explained that Neuralink's technology could provide cybernetic superpowers and solve severe medical conditions. The ultimate vision includes restoring eyesight for those blind from birth by bypassing the optic nerve entirely, as well as enabling paralyzed individuals to walk. "By direct interface to the, uh, the, um, optical centers in the brain, you, you can actually restore eyesight, will give people eyesight that they've never had before, and you can enable people to walk again, which I think is profound. I mean, these are kind of Jesus level things..." ⚡️ Inspiration from historical innovators When discussing his historical role models, Musk naturally pointed to the namesake of his automotive company, Nikola Tesla. "Well, I guess, uh, you know, I'm obviously a big fan of Nikola Tesla since, uh, named the company after him." 🖥️ Admiring contemporary innovators When asked about his favorite living innovators, Musk gave a nod to his contemporaries in the tech space. He specifically highlighted NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang for his work in advancing computing hardware. "Well, uh, hmm. I mean, I guess, uh, I, I mean, I don't really think about these things that much, but, uh, well, I mean, I guess, uh, you know, Jensen Huang at Nvidia is like, doing pretty great in terms of, uh, inventing, you know, developing AI computers." 🤖 The rapid acceleration and timeline of super-intelligent AI Musk is simultaneously petrified and excited about the pace of artificial intelligence breakthroughs. He predicts that AI will be unequivocally smarter than humans in every domain within a year or two, and that total digital intelligence will surpass all human intelligence by 2031. "In five years, we'll have probably, so five years being, say, 2031, um, I think digital intelligence will exceed the sum of all human intelligence." 📈 The coming surge in economic output and robotics The interview contained significant predictions about the near future of the global economy. Musk forecasted that the economy will likely double its current size within five to seven years due to massive increases in productivity, paired with an explosion in humanoid robotics. "I hope we'll predict that the economy is probably probably twice its current size in five, maybe six years, seven at five to seven years... Probably there might be a, let's say at least a hundred million humanoid robots, but maybe a billion." ☀️ Moving AI compute and data centers into space To handle the extreme energy requirements of future AI, massive data centers must be built in orbit or on the moon to harness the sun's power. Earth's energy capacity is microscopic compared to the sun, meaning actual scaling of AI compute will require launching solar powered AI satellites. "So that, therefore, when you go to space, if you want to climb the carto, carto-shift scale in any meaningful way whatsoever, you have to go to space. And a rough estimate is that you could probably do a terawatt a year of AI powered, you know, solar powered AI satellites from launch from Earth." 🧬 Future opportunities in digital medicine and 3D transportation Beyond his current companies, Musk highlighted synthetic RNA as the future of digital medicine, allowing for the precise curing of diseases instead of relying on analog drug discoveries. He also encouraged others to start tunneling companies, emphasizing that moving transportation into three dimensions is the only logical way to eliminate traffic. "Now, but once you can, since this we can now construct synthetic RNA, you can effectively think of medicine, the future of medicine as being digital. Like, so if you just know what to program into that synthetic RNA strand, you can basically, I think, cure almost anything." 🏛️ Building a legacy of usefulness Musk shared his admiration for historical innovators, specifically highlighting Henry Ford for inventing the mass manufacturing of complex objects. When asked how he wants to be remembered in the future, his answer was brief and focused on the big picture. "Useful for the advancement of civilization." Video source: Forbes channel on Youtube

Spencer Pratt hits it out of the park.

Better angle of today's midair collision in Idaho. The trailing plane (on the right) appears to have descended onto the plane below it, perhaps after losing sight of it in a blind spot. Miraculous that all four ejected safely.

BREAKING: Two US Navy fighter jets have just had a MID-AIR COLLISION during the air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho It appears all four crew members punched out of the aircraft, which then fell to the ground and exploded. Pray for the crew. Their conditions are unknown.

SPENCER PRATT: THE MAYOR LA NEEDS The Los Angeles mayoral race has taken a surreal turn as Spencer Pratt pivots from reality TV to a populist firebrand. During a recent debate at the Skirball Cultural Center, Pratt went “scorched earth” on incumbent Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, blaming their leadership for the 2025 wildfires that destroyed his home. Framing the current administration as a disaster for public safety, Pratt has successfully positioned himself as a wildcard challenger determined to disrupt the political elite. To bolster his campaign, Pratt released a gritty new anthem and music video titled “California Fried.” The track serves as a polarizing visual manifesto, juxtaposing L.A.’s homeless crisis with fire-ravaged neighborhoods to highlight the “unhoused reality” he claims leaders are ignoring. By blending his entertainment instincts with a hard-hitting political message, Pratt has ensured his platform remains viral and impossible to overlook. This digital-first strategy has earned high praise from tech moguls Chamath Palihapitiya and David Sacks, who are reportedly floored by Pratt’s AI-driven ad campaigns. Chamath described the high-fidelity spots as “absolutely incredible,” while Sacks noted that the cinematic, AI-generated imagery of Pratt “cleaning up” the city is exactly why he is surging in the polls. For these Silicon Valley titans, Pratt’s campaign represents a sophisticated digital revolution that is fundamentally rewriting the modern political playbook. #SpencerPratt #LosAngeles #Mayor #Trending

@schmoopyface @Founder_Mode_ Elon’s measure of success might be different than yours.

@Founder_Mode_ How many of those 252 workers were full time and not contractors? How many of them were still with SpaceX one year later? Just trying to see how successful this actually was.

One of my favorite Elon story is when he had an all-hands meeting at 1am on a Sunday at the SpaceX factory in Boca Chica. He asked his team one question: why isn't this factory running 24/7? His engineers said they needed more people to run shifts. 48 hours later, SpaceX had hired 252 workers and doubled the factory workforce. Most companies and CEOs would have scheduled a planning meeting to discuss the staffing gap and take weeks to hire those people. But Elon just did that within 2 days.

The older I get, the more I understand this man.

Spencer Pratt released another AI banger! 👏 This guy could win this thing!

This is the way.

@TexSandlin @CynicalPublius @HammUSMCretired I've always wondered what his other A-6 brethren had to say about him.

@CynicalPublius @HammUSMCretired He should be living the rest of his worthless life in eastern Kansas. Making small rocks out of big rocks. Disgrace to his uniform, his service and his Wings of Gold.

I handled Top Secret information only a handful of times in my military career. Every time I did, I remember thinking to myself "Why is this classified? Everybody suspects this is true, it's just common sense..." But then I remembered that the reason the data was classified was so that no one in the know would or could ever confirm or deny whether "common sense" suspicions were actually true. THAT is the power of security classifications. My point is this: it does not matter whether or not anyone has a common sense suspicion that stores of precision munitions might be depleted. When Kelly officially verified that suspicion at the individual munition level, he created a grave breach of national security. Prosecute this traitor. Remember when some submariner went to the brig because he posted a picture from the inside of a sub? This is far worse. Prosecute.

It's a goat, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me.

@Naturalwon57991 The fallacy of two dogs playing with each other has been busted! I have the same issue with my two dog for thinking the same thing. Damn!

The plan did not work out 👀👀

Elon Musk opened the federal budget and found what both parties spent decades making sure nobody would ever see. The receipts. Musk: “Most of the fraudulent government payments, especially to the NGOs, go to the Democrats. Let’s say 80%, maybe 90%. 10 to 20% of it does go to Republicans.” He didn’t say one side was clean. He said both sides were eating. Musk: “The honest answer is the Republicans are partly… they’re receiving some of the fraud too. They’re getting a vig.” A vig. That’s the word you use when the house takes a cut of every bet at the table. That’s not governance. That’s a rake. And when DOGE shut off the fraudulent payments, the loudest screams didn’t come from Democrats. They came from Republicans. Musk: “When we turn off funding to a fraudulent NGO, we’d get complaints from whatever the 10% of Republicans who were receiving the money. And they would very loudly complain.” You tell someone 90% of the fraud funds their political opponents. And they still fight you to keep their 10%. Musk: “I tried telling them, ‘Well, you know, 90% of the money is going to your opponents.’” Rogan: “They want their piece.” Musk: “Yeah, they want their piece.” Rogan: “And they’ve been getting that piece for a long time.” The uniparty was never a conspiracy theory. Musk: “The whole uniparty criticism has some validity to it.” It’s a revenue model. Left and right aren’t opponents. They’re co-signers on the same account. The theater is for you. The money is for them. Every bank on earth runs AI that flags a suspicious $47 charge before you even notice it. The United States government somehow can’t catch billions in fraudulent payments to shell NGOs. The technology exists. It has for years. An algorithm doesn’t care which party you belong to. It doesn’t take a vig. It doesn’t have a donor. It just follows the money. And that’s exactly why they’ll never willingly deploy it. Musk didn’t expose a partisan scandal. He exposed the operating system of American governance. And the most dangerous thing he did wasn’t cutting the payments. It was proving both sides would rather protect the fraud than lose their cut. The system isn’t broken. It was built this way.

Bet you didn't know THIS 🤔

Wake up, America👇🇺🇸

🚨 INDIANA SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHRIS GARDEN GOES OFF DEFENDING THE 9-0 MAP! 🔥 “Some will say these maps are political. Let me be clear: Policy is political. Safe streets are political. Affordable electricity is political. A drug-free Indiana is political.” “If drawing a map that secures 2 more seats for the Republican Party means we continue to see overdose deaths drop by 20%, then I’ll draw that map every single day of the week and twice on Sunday.” “If drawing a map means we’ll continue to see a 93% drop in illegal immigration, then I’ll sign it with a smile on my face.” “We’re not here to be neutral arbiters of decline. We’re here to be active agents of American greatness.” Powerful. Red states are done playing defense. 🇺🇸
