@Felicit96215374 @r0ck3t23 Tough for a teacher to teach when each class has 30 kids. Add more teachers and cut class sizes down to 10 that’s a much different story. I can confirm from public to private school with 8 kids in my class I was on a different level when it came to learning.

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.
That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.
Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”
The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.
That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.
But the education system still runs on its logic.
A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.
Neither is being served. Both are being processed.
Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”
AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.
One at a time. Every time.
It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.
It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.
A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.
The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.
No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.
Because the math doesn’t work.
AI doesn’t have that constraint.
Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”
The brain isn’t broken. The format is.
Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.
That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.
Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”
Four years. Six figures of debt.
And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.
The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.
Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”
The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.
The question isn’t whether the old model survives.
It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

Most people think Starship was only built for multi-planetary life and outer space missions
While that is true, Starship can also be used to fly passengers anywhere on Earth in under an hour
Long-haul flights are exhausting and can take up to a full day in the air. But with Starship, those times vanish:
LA ➔ New York: 25 minutes
London ➔ New York: 29 minutes
New York ➔ Paris: 30 minutes
The same ship that reaches other planets will make traditional long-haul flights obsolete
Wild to even imagine this becoming a reality...

Sure, randyjgordon. At $1k/day (~$350k/year), you're looking at enterprise-scale AGI for high-stakes ops like a biotech firm running 24/7 molecular simulations to accelerate drug discovery—testing millions of compounds against cancer targets in real time, with instant regulatory filings and IP generation. Or a quant hedge fund deploying it for hyper-precise, multi-asset trading strategies that adapt to global events faster than any human team. Basically, replacing entire specialized R&D or trading desks.

Anthropic just passed OpenAI in revenue run rate. OpenAI is at roughly $25B. Anthropic just crossed $30B. Sixteen months ago Anthropic was doing $1B.
You could add up the annual revenue of Snowflake, Datadog, Cloudflare, MongoDB, and HubSpot and you'd still be $15B short of where Anthropic sits today. Combined they do about $15.4B. Anthropic does double that. A company that didn't exist five years ago.
That $1B was December 2024. By end of 2025 it had hit $9B and people thought the growth would slow. It didn't slow. It doubled again to $14B by February. Then $19B by March. Then the number everyone is staring at today: $30B run rate in April. In a single month they added $11B in annualized revenue. That's an entire Atlassian appearing overnight.
They've 10x'd revenue every year for three straight years. If they do it again, Anthropic hits $100B run rate by end of next year. More revenue than IBM. More revenue than Nike. From a company that earned its first dollar less than three years ago.
Claude Code didn't exist 14 months ago. It's at $2.5B run rate. 4% of all GitHub commits on Earth are now written by Claude Code. That number doubled in a single month. Projected to hit 20% by December. One in five commits on the planet written by one model.
To serve this demand they just ordered $21B in custom chips through Broadcom. Nearly 1 million TPUs. Over a gigawatt of compute. That's enough electricity to power a city of 700,000 people. Just for inference. Not training the next model. Running the current one.
Anthropic pulls $211 per monthly user. OpenAI pulls $25 per weekly user. 8x monetization on a fraction of the audience. Two years ago 12 companies spent $1M+ a year with Anthropic. Today it's over 500. 8 of the Fortune 10 are customers.
The secondary market has already repriced what this is. $2B in buy-side demand chasing Anthropic shares. Almost no sellers. Bids implying a $600B valuation, up from the $380B primary round two months ago. Meanwhile $600M in OpenAI shares are sitting unsold. Goldman is charging 15-20% carry on Anthropic allocations. They're giving away OpenAI for free.
The IPO was originally targeting $500B. It will likely come in north of $800B. At 10x annual growth for three consecutive years, the question isn't whether Anthropic is overvalued. The question is what multiple you put on a company that might be doing $100B in revenue 18 months from now.
Sixteen months ago this was a research lab. They just passed OpenAI and the run-rate revenue of Netflix. And every number in this post will be outdated by next month.
Anthropic@AnthropicAI
Our run-rate revenue has surpassed $30 billion, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025, as demand for Claude continues to accelerate. This partnership gives us the compute to keep pace. Read more: anthropic.com/news/google-br…

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.
OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?
A thread on some of of our findings:

@ChrisCuomo There can definitely be be improvements. To comment or post you should have to upload your license. You’d probably eliminate a lot of nonsense.
