He's probably lying, but this is how we should do a wealth tax and UBI
I call it Universal Capitalism: a revenue-neutral wealth tax, payable in equity, that is directly distributed without sale
Sidesteps valuation and prevents the doomsday scenario where 10 guys own it all
You can tell this is a lie because he could just do it now
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Elon Musk cannot transfer his SpaceX shares now; they remain subject to a 366-day IPO lock-up with no early releases until June 2027.

Oh I shd add: Deisseroth’s work was (say it w me!) supported with public funding through federal science agencies incl NIH, NSF, and DARPA. And I daresay few political deciders in 2004 would have been excited to put algal proteins in HEK cells or neurons. Scientists knew, though.

The second quantum revolution is here and Longhorn researchers are meeting the moment. 🤘
From solving specialized problems in quantum computing and developing advanced sensors to training the next generation of quantum researchers, the Texas Quantum Institute is helping shape the future of the field: utex.as/4AJaI3E
Last year I did a long theory paper on the propagation of ultrafast pulses through gain media
I feel like I buried the lede a little in pursuit of generality. One of my favorite results is just "vanilla" gain saturation. The operator order matters a lot!

For instance, did you know that the lineshape function applies to both the gain saturation and the field? I had no idea, but it does!
This formalism is nice because it shoves all the microscopic dynamics into the lineshape (L_2) and gain recovery dynamics (L_1)
