While I have great fondness for @NASA, they will constitute less than 5% of our revenue next year. Commercial Starlink is by far our largest contributor to revenue. Some people have claimed that SpaceX gets “subsidized” by NASA. This is absolutely false. The SpaceX team won

@tomwarren Very strange. After prior Twitter leadership treated verification as a perk nominally reserved for “the elite” by but in practice handed out by Twitter employees to friends and cronies, Elon opened it up to everyone for a reasonable price. This was a good thing.

Elon Musk and the Tesla Cybertruck were praised on the TV show ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ “The Cybertruck is by far the coolest piece of machinery the space nerd [Elon Musk] has ever made”

The most dangerous addiction today isn't a substance. Research on 100,000 people confirms that heavy short-form video use is just voluntary cognitive decline. We are actively training our brains to fail at hard tasks. If you can simply sit with a problem for 10 minutes without

While ribose was present, deoxyribose (the DNA sugar) was not. This suggests RNA may have been more prevalent than DNA in the early solar system – supporting the “RNA world” hypothesis that DNA was not necessary for the origin of life.

The data on self-driving cars, including Waymo and to some extent Tesla, shows they are already overwhelmingly safer than human-operated vehicles. With 40,000 people dying on our roads every year, we can save tens of thousands of lives by expanding access to this technology.
I have a guest essay in @nytimes today about autonomous vehicle safety. I wrote it because I’m tired of seeing children die. Done right, we can eliminate car crashes as a leading cause of death in the United States @Waymo recently released data covering nearly 100 million

That’ll go over like a lead balloon. An ID that is invalid is fine so long as you cough up $45?
BUMPY RIDE: The TSA will begin charging travelers a $45 fee if they arrive at airport security checkpoints without an acceptable ID — including a REAL ID or passport. The policy will be implemented starting Feb. 1, 2026 and is nonrefundable.

As someone who has sparred multiple times on @theallinpod with @jason @friedberg @DavidSacks @chamath, including about regulating AI (see my recent debates with @jason & @friedberg) and a wealth tax, I can tell you the pod hosts are open to dissenting points of view. Instead of

Alex, the US taxpayer rarely pays doctors directly. They typically send money to states (Medicaid) Hospitals and Providers(traditional Medicare), to insurance carriers (MA and ACA), and indirectly through tax savings for individuals and employers ) You are right that we
"Underpay" I know you are not this ignorant, @mcuban. The US OVERPAYS at every level in healthcare, which is a key reason we overtreat, which is a key reason our outcomes stink. We do NOT need to spend more money on medicine in the US, we would be better off spending less.

TPUs are obviously bad for NVIDIA. it doesn’t take a genius to realize two companies A and B collecting oligopoly margins make far less profit collectively than one company A collecting monopoly margins
The “TPUs = bad for NVDA” take is up there with the dumbest yet (maybe worse than DeepSeek) as it *completely misses* what actually happened in just the last 6 weeks. And I will remember *who is who in the zoo*. My view… 1) Demand for AI is bananas (no one can meet demand,

Solar and Megapacks are needed to meet electrification & datacenter demand. This Supercharger is evidence of that. Our forecasts showed a severe charging infrastructure deficit along the San Francisco - Los Angeles corridor for the 2025 holidays and beyond, creating extreme
