Simple poll. Please be honest! As of today, how much do you still trust this team? A. 100% B. 75% C. 50% D. 25% E. 0%

Elon Musk explains the ultimate scaling AI compute to a massive 100 terawatts a year: "If you want to go to 100 terawatts a year... you want to make those AI satellites on the moon and use a mass driver" "On the moon, you can just accelerate the satellites into escape velocities around 2,400 meters per second and there's no atmosphere, so a mass driver works very well on the moon"

Falcon Heavy is so beautiful

Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory. We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era. I love those cars. This was me at production launch 14 years ago:

If only we’d trained Grok on just these 2 books, we’d be done already!

Elon Musk sees a path where the cost to orbit drops below commercial air freight Ultimately Starship will be able to fly across the globe cheaper per ton than a Boeing 747 That opens up a massive range of possibilities for global logistics

Elon Musk is playing a long game most people don’t think about. The idea lines up with the Kardashev scale. Not just improving life on Earth, but increasing how much energy humanity can use and control over time. Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink all fit into that direction. Energy, transport and connectivity are the foundation layers if you’re thinking beyond a single planet. It sounds far off, but the early pieces are already in motion.

Beautiful machines in space

Yesterday the US defended free navigation, accused Iran of behaving like pirates & said over 100 states are calling on them to re-open the strait Last year 165 states demanded the US end its blockade of Cuba. But instead of doing that the US started seizing ships. Like pirates

How are AI bros proud to be absolutely helplessly utterly dumb?

Angry reminder: the Epstein files were supposed to be released 127 days ago. Not summaries. Not scraps. Not redactions. The complete files. Now.

How quickly can this administration pivot from war on Iran to war on Cuba? Based on its speed in its actions in just the last six or seven months towards Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Venezuela and now Iran, I would say pretty quickly. This administration has glaring incompetencies, and, at its core, it is a kleptocracy and a kakistocracy, but it does put in motion what it intends, no matter the resulting consequences, cost or wreckage. The obsession with Cuba has been vicious and enduring in Washington, DC, and this may be the long waited for moment to right the wrongs of 1961 and restore the chessboard to order (the parallel obsession with Iran, in its imperial entitlement and obligations, is clear). Among those rational around the President, and there are a few, the thought must be: use Cuba, “take it” as the President says, turn attention away from the Gulf, blame that on the Europeans for not doing their part, tell the Arab monarchs that the Chinese, Russians and Indians will never keep them in power the way the US has, and tell Americans the inflation and layoffs they are enduring, as the costs of the Iran war come home this summer, are because Joe Biden sent them a $1400 check five years ago. This administration has the imperial will, decades of pathological anti-Havana mania and a need to get attention away from the Middle East. An overextended, drained and strategically inept American military will be further tasked, however with the significant comfort of staging out of continental US bases. I would expect this war on Cuba to emphasize the assassinations, kidnappings and economic warfare, including destruction of civilian infrastructure and secondary sanctions, that US governments excel at, with a focus on immiserating Cubans to a near-Gazan level. I am humbled at the thought of what this administration might do to conquer Cuba, including things no one who is not a part of a madman’s court would ever think of.

A very good chance the world’s largest, most widespread, acute famine will begin in approx six months. Increasingly think (despite sounding like a conspiracy theorist) that is a deliberate project of the Western #EpsteinClass
