Elon Musk just exposed the most catastrophic energy blindspot in the entire AI arms race.
The West is still debating which twigs to burn.
China is capturing the sun.
Musk: “People just don’t understand how solar is everything. Compared to the sun, all other energy sources are like cavemen throwing some twigs into a fire.”
Every natural gas plant.
Every nuclear reactor.
Every experimental fusion project being debated in Washington right now.
Twigs.
Musk: “We have a giant free fusion reactor that shows up every day. It’s farcical for us to create little fusion reactors.”
And then he gave the most clarifying statistic in the entire energy debate.
Musk: “The sun is over 99.8% of all mass in the solar system. Jupiter is around 0.1%. So even if you burnt Jupiter, the energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%.”
Musk: “And then if you teleported three more Jupiters into our solar system and burnt them too, it would still round up.”
The sun is not an energy source.
It is the only energy source.
Everything else is rounding error.
China already knows this.
While American tech executives beg for permits to build natural gas plants, China crossed 1,000 gigawatts of installed solar capacity in 2025.
More than the rest of the world combined.
They are not holding summits about it.
They are not commissioning reports about it.
They are building it.
Harvesting the free fusion reactor that arrives every morning at zero cost and feeding it directly into their AI data centers.
The AI race is not an algorithm race.
It is an electro-industrial race.
You cannot build superintelligence without infinite compute.
You cannot have infinite compute without infinite energy.
And right now, the United States is losing the energy war while holding committee meetings about which twigs to burn next.
China built the energy-compute flywheel.
Cheap, scalable, infinite solar power feeding AI models at a fraction of the cost.
Compounding every single day.
The nation that captures the sun’s output will hold a permanent monopoly on global intelligence.
The nation that doesn’t will spend the next decade trying to understand how it lost.
Everyone else gets left holding the twigs.

Scariest part of this excellent article:
"more than 200 foreclosed properties in Genesee County, many of them in Flint, were bundled and sold to the same company".

COLBERT on Thin-Skinned Trump’s fascist @jamestalarico ban: “Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this… They're trying to control what we watch, say, read — The most dangerous kind of cancel culture is the kind that comes from the top."

I wonder if this clip can get 10 million views...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
