Yes. Elon should DEFINITELY make the Texas Institute of Technology and Science real. Here’s an idea of what it could look it. — The Texas Institute of Technology and Science is a private STEM university that will be the most competitive engineering school in the world. Like Kettering University (formerly General Motors Institute of Technology, built to train students in GM-specific manufacturing and engineering practices) students participate in traditional coursework and co-op coursework; they also receive paid work experience at a sponsoring company and graduate with an accredited four-year degree that they complete in three years. The students use AP tests prior to admission to complete humanities requirements for four-year bachelors degree. Texas Institute of Technology and Science is free. The students work for a consortium of companies throughout their time there and pay off “debt” by joining their sponsor company following graduation. Modeled after US military academies, students receive free education for required years of work following their degree. Texas Institute of Technology and Science Model: -1000 students per class. students are ranked on series of tests and simulations throughout program. -co-op based 3-year program. Like Kettering/GMI, students must find a company or business unit to sponsor them based on their high school performance. -Students do not need to be high school graduates to gain entry but must pass the Texas Institute of Technology and Science test. Admissions Test-based Blind admissions. Top 1000 students gain entry. Students with sponsorship from company that do not pass the entrance exam will not be admitted. Curriculum -Three-year program; 1 year core, second year tracked to four programs: AI, Automotive, Energy and Aerospace engineering. Additional tracks will follow. Co-op model with company starts in second year. No summer breaks as co-op work is spread throughout year. Students must work with sponsor institution, though based on performance they can work for another company in the consortium after graduation. -Based on class rank (1 through 1000) students pick company and role at one of a consortium of companies that have agreed to hire Texas Institute of Technology and Science graduates. -Students can change company sponsor based on performance. (Like Military Academies top performing students get the best roles). Debt to sponsoring company repaid /subsidized through years of service at the sponsor company. Students will receive equity in chosen company after graduation. - The Texas Institute of Technology and Science Fund is an option for students who want to build companies immediately after graduation . Texas Institute of Technology and Science to take 8 percent stake for seed capital and accelerator; ownership is given to endowment. To Do: -Acquire Texas-based private school for accreditation/regulatory purposes. -Rename school to Texas Institute of Technology and Science. -revamp curriculum/professors for 2025/2026 school year. -Develop Texas Institute of Technology and Science Entrance Test -Co-op model to begin with 25 sponsor partners, all companies or USG that can commit to sponsor students. Companies develop co op curriculum but must meet a set of requirements developed by professors and administration to ensure rigorous work environment. -Texas Institute of Technology and Science board of directors formed. Board must pass the entrance test. -Texas Institute of Technology and Science president selected by Board. President must also pass entrance test and publish his/her results.

There are good and bad Indians. I’m obviously one of the good ones. I suspect this Sriram guy is too. On the other hand, these two Indians pictured below were an intrinsic part of the censorship regime on social media. I wish we could deport them!
