Elon Musk reveals why, measured against the sun's energy, human civilization barely registers as existing at all: "Right now we're very low on the Kardashev one scale. If you say what proportion of our planet's power are we harnessing, it's a very, very tiny number. And we're harnessing almost nothing of our star's power. The sun is truly an immense thing. It's difficult with words to characterize just how immense the sun is" "The sun is about 99.86% of all mass in the solar system. Most of the remaining 0.14% is Jupiter. The entire mass of Earth is in the tiny miscellaneous category. Earth is a tiny dust mote compared to the sun" "We currently use much less than a trillionth of the power output of the sun, and a trillion is a million times a million. So basically we're practically nowhere on the Kardashev two scale. On the Kardashev scale, we're still non-existent. We're not registering"

Grok Bot can literally buy things for you on the internet now. Here’s a wild example: @Baconbrix asked Grok Bot to buy him a Tesla, and it actually placed the order for a Model Y. Grok Bot is getting insanely powerful. 🚀

It's beneficial for a software engineer to learn chip design so they understand how numerics flow through circuitry each cycle.

Reusable rockets broke the cost curve, and when the price of orbit collapses, we're going to open an entire economy above your head. Welcome to [soon] to space.

All races should be treated fairly and equally

Met a German founder this week and asked him if all the stories one reads about the challenges of startups in Germany are exaggerated. "No, they're understated." Proceeded to describe spending a full day having a 90-page investment contract read to him (mandatory under German law; § 13 BeurkG) by a notary that then charged €30,000. That was for his first company. His second company, needless to say, was not incorporated in Germany.

Falcon Heavy rolled out to the launch pad at 39A for @NASA’s Roman Space Telescope mission early this morning

Tesla has just increased the size of its Robotaxi service area in Dallas, Texas for the first time since the service originally launched in April. The new service area is roughly 50% larger than the old one, and includes more of the downtown Dallas city area and west of the city.

Matching the payload capacity of ONE Starship V3 flight would take 200+ Falcon 1 launches That’s hundreds of rockets, hundreds of separate launches and an enormous amount of time just to move what one Starship is designed to carry Orbital AI at serious scale needs a vehicle like Starship And SpaceX now has exactly that Starship V3 is designed to carry 100+ tons to orbit per flight with full reusability That means: • Huge batches of compute satellites launched at once • Massive power and networking hardware deployed in a single mission • Starlink connectivity + laser links for moving massive amounts of high-bandwidth data across the orbital network and back to Earth • Rapid reuse for continuous scaling • Direct access to enormous amounts of solar energy in orbit • Orbital infrastructure expanding launch after launch This is where Starship changes everything Orbital AI stops being limited by how little mass we can get to space and starts becoming infrastructure humanity can build at enormous scale And it’s happening much sooner than most people realize

The AI riptide is already underway
