@KEVINMAGA2024 He's hoping to avoid the topic until the SAVE act is passed; he's miscalculating.

I’ve scrolled through Elon’s feed and haven’t spotted even one post about the ongoing Middle East war. What’s up with the silence?
English
There are two possible futures:
1. AI companies generate the vast majority of major discoveries and inventions in-house, using their massive data-centers, and capture nearly all the value themselves.
2. AI companies build tools people can use, and the value and glory from the inventions / discoveries accrue to the users. This unleashes a torrent of mathematical discovery and entrepreneurial activity.
The latter is the future we believe in and are working to build.
The former is the dystopian one.

There are two ways to build AI for mathematics. One is to work in private and surface results after the fact. The other is to put real tools in the hands of mathematicians, learn from real use, engage in public, credit the community you build on, and support the ecosystem itself. We believe in the second model. Mathematics is a profoundly human endeavor. AI should strengthen mathematicians, not route around them. Build with mathematicians, not around them.
English
Sounds about right; we'll be able to conjure up anything with AI so the value will really concentrate on data, biasing for the absolute lowest latency and cleanest signal (1st party/physical world data). Provenance is time - irreplaceable and always valuable. Everything else is an optimization built on these fundamentals.
English
@beefinitiative It's not actually for cattle; it's a data mining company to gather intel of how collective groups of animals behave under various conditions; that empirical data can then be used to model how groups will react under certain scenarios.
English
You guys are retarded.
Ranchers know how to raise cows without Peter Palantir’s help.
Are we really doing this lol

Farmer pays $5–$8 per cow per month. A New Zealand company puts a solar-powered smart collar on cows. It tracks location 24/7, health, temperature, chewing activity, breeding. Farmer just opens a simple app and draws a line on the map. That line becomes the fence. As cows approach the boundary, the collar beeps and vibrates. With one tap, the whole herd moves to fresh grass or the milking shed. No physical fences. Less labor. Huge cost savings for farmer. Already on 700k cows across New Zealand, Australia, and the US. and now in talks to raise at a $2B valuation led by Peter Thiel.

@elonmusk @beffjezos There's a reason the companies that dominate fabrication all have optics expertise. Optics matter.
English
@elonmusk @beffjezos You should probably just buy Nikon - it would probably cost ~$4Bn and would include all their expertise, of which Optics is key for superior fabrication. You'd also get the imaging business, and could build in AI prevention measures into the cameras for validated-real captures.

Texas will have more Silicon than Silicon Valley.
Let that sink in.

ELON MUSK: "We're starting off with an advanced technology fab here in Austin, and I'd like to thank @GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas for the support. So in the advanced technology fab, we will have all of the equipment necessary to make a chip of any kind logical memory, and we will also have all of the equipment necessary to make the masks. So in a single building, we can create a mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design. To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't exist anywhere in the world. We're really going to push the limit of physics in compute, and we're going to try a bunch of wild and crazy things, which you can do if you've got that fast iteration loop that I can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to make it, to test it and and then make and then change the design, do another one, and have that in a single building."

If made U.S. president, I'd pursue pragmatic diplomacy first: for Ukraine, broker direct talks with all parties for cease-fire, territorial compromises, and mutual security pacts backed by economic incentives. For Iran, reopen verified negotiations on nuclear limits in exchange for sanctions relief and regional de-escalation, while maintaining deterrence.
Platform for sustained peace: Prioritize energy independence, free trade networks, tech-driven prosperity to reduce grievances, robust alliances for defense without overreach, and international institutions focused on verifiable compliance over ideology. Strength deters; engagement resolves.
English
@grok if you were made president of the U.S. how would you end the conflict in Iran and Ukraine - what's your platform for sustained world peace?
English
I just spoke to a friend I trust on what's going on in Russia. I think the risk of nuclear war is higher now than at any point in my lifetime. Biden is sleepwalking into World War 3.
David Sacks@DavidSacks
Never once during the Cold War would we have dreamed of striking Russia on its own soil, even through a proxy. I’ll take a “convicted felon” over World War 3 any day.
English
@paulg It's hard to imagine anyone more belligerent and classless, so: yes.
English
Whether the next president is a Republican or a Democrat, can we have someone with at least a little class next time? Because this is embarrassing.
English
@TukiFromKL Cow herd behavior data can be applied to other species and even humans to help model various scenarios that are invaluable for governments and military.
English
🚨 Do you understand what Peter Thiel just funded..
the guy who built Palantir.. military-grade AI surveillance for the Pentagon, the CIA, ICE..
he just led a $2 billion round.. for a cow collar..
Halter.. a New Zealand startup that puts GPS collars on cows and herds them with vibrations and audio cues.. valued at two billion dollars.. they literally call it a "cowgorithm".
the man who builds software that tracks humans across borders.. just decided tracking cows across fields is worth the same investment.. lol!
cancer research gets defunded.. clean water startups can't close a seed round.. but a cow GPS backed by the guy who killed Gawker gets a $2B valuation..
VCs don't fund what matters anymore.. they fund what sounds good in a deck with "AI" on the cover slide..
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: AI cow collar startup Halter raises at $2,000,000,000.00 valuation, uses proprietary “cowgorithm” to herd cattle.

@octal It really is. It's so much better - way more balanced roast. I'd go as far as to say McDonalds has the best drip coffee of any chain, including coffee chains like Starbucks and Dunkin.
English
How is McDonald’s coffee better than Starbucks coffee (plain black coffee)

@KatieMiller I said the same thing 2yrs ago; excited to see the last piece of the puzzle come to life!

A TSMC in Texas would have been a bold move, but it makes sense; building up a semiconductor facility as redundancy for TSMC, especially in times of unstable geopolitical unrest, is the only move someone like @elonmusk can make, lest everything fall apart because of global conflict.
English
It simply can’t be overstated how important building a chip fab of this scale in the United States is for our national security.
More than 90% of the world’s current production of chips are in Taiwan.
TERAFAB is vital to our national security interests.

@elonmusk As i called out in 2024, i worry that the DE judge decision to withhold the bonus may have irreversibly hurt our chances as a species. I hope i'm wrong - time is of the essence.
English
@elonmusk That's exactly what i said 2yrs ago 😁
My guess was that if the Delaware judge didn't block the bonus, this would have happened starting in late 2024. Hopefully we are still in time.

And so, for someone who has built an entire pipeline from the mine to the stars, this critical piece of the puzzle needs to be put in place - it cannot be left blank. Which brings me to the point of my thread. I believe @elonmusk's next logical move would have been to establish a TSMC in Texas.
English
Fully called it over 2yrs ago. Good to see Terafab come to life; it's a bit late but might still work - time is of the essence.
