Elon Musk’s mother, Maye, describing what Elon was like growing up: the shortest, the smartest, and the youngest kid in the class.
“And at 3 years old, I said he’s a genius, and I took him to school and they said, but he only makes it by 2 days. He’s going to be the youngest in the class. I said, but he’s brilliant. It’s my genius son. And they rolled their eyes. They said, oh, every parent thinks that
He was shy, you know, and he was bullied a lot, Because he was the shortest, the youngest, and the smartest, you shouldn’t have those three, because people beat you up
So he was bullied a lot, and then luckily from the age of 15 he grew tall, and his ideas were just so profound all the time”

@CherusciMaoism You shouldn't care what I think, but what they think.

I still don’t quite understand whether, for him, demons are a metaphor for something else, whether he simply believes in the demons of the occult, or whether the distinction between AIs and the like and occult demons makes no sense, because they are exactly the same thing

Do you know what fueled Elon Musk to found SpaceX with $100 million of his own money?
In 2002, Elon Musk traveled to Russia with one goal: to buy two decommissioned ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) and use them to launch a greenhouse to Mars
The Russians were not interested in selling and The Russian rocket chief designer told him, “This is a machine of war. This is not a toy for some young kid from Silicon Valley. And this is not internet bullshit. We are talking about life and death”
Then he spat on Elon’s shoe.
On the flight back, Musk opened his laptop, built a cost spreadsheet from scratch, and showed his travel companions that he could build a rocket himself for less than what Russia was asking.
He was not angry. He was calculating.
That is the part most people miss. The insult did not motivate him emotionally. It clarified the economics.
Three of SpaceX’s first four launches failed. Musk split his last $40 million between SpaceX and Tesla. He later said he thought both companies might fail.
The fourth launch succeeded. Shortly after, NASA awarded SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract.
Most people leave a bad meeting and complain. A few leave and start building
