Starship’s goal isn’t just to fly.
It’s to be fully and rapidly reusable.
“I think it’s really one of the hardest engineering challenges that exists.”

SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

Yes
Elon Musk predicts space will become the lowest-cost place to run superintelligence within just 2–3 years
“I think the case is a no-brainer for building solar-powered AI data centers in space”
Solar panels facing the Sun and radiators pointed away from it can provide an incredibly efficient power and cooling system
“The net effect is that the lowest cost place to put AI will be space. And that'll be true within two years, maybe three at the latest”
ELON MUSK: “Buy stock in companies where you think the products that company makes will be better in the future. Like, is that company going to make more and better products? Or like, do you love the products that company makes? And are they going to keep doing that? And, like, I think Tesla has a track record of having made many great products, and we're going to make many more future great products.
We've demonstrated a level of innovation that is extremely rare. I mean, certainly by far, the most innovative company in the car industry, like not even close type of thing. I think long-term with Optimus and self-driving, Tesla will probably be the most valuable company in the world.”

~100 lasers per satellite, each operating above 10 Tb/s, with over 100k satellites should be able to outcompete undersea cables.
Speed of light in space is ~40% faster than cable and the path is direct, instead of following the outline of land masses.
Elon just teased SpaceX's next-gen V4 @Starlink satellites:
"Starlink version 4 will have 10x the capability of V3 (which itself is 10x better than V2), especially with the long-distance laser links. Our next-gen laser links will be 10-terabits per second. 100x better. And we'll put 10 of them on."

Absolutely
I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago
Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that
And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture
Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence
But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim
Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality
You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week
This isn't compassion, it's insanity
This is literally civilizational suicide

True
Elon Musk claims the mainstream media rarely gives positive coverage to people who don’t align with its political views.
He argues that even something as extraordinary as saving a busload of orphans wouldn’t make the headlines.
“Anything positive about someone who is not part of the far-left tribe will get no coverage.”

Tesla and SpaceX have created meaningful wealth for hundreds of thousands of employees over time and improved the retirement savings of hundreds of millions of people

Starlink saves lives
Starlink became a lifeline for rescuers in England.
A walker fell down a steep bank into a hornet’s nest near Wetheral.
The rescue team had no mobile signal where they were training. Starlink in their control vehicle got the emergency call through.
Rescuers reached the walker, used ropes to lift them up the bank on a stretcher, and carried them to an ambulance.
This is the life-saving power of Starlink. Keeping rescuers connected means people in danger can get the help they urgently need.

Our second product is called Blindsight and it will, as the name suggests, enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see.
It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

Neuralink’s first product is called Telepathy.
It enables high-speed communication with computers or humans simply by thinking. Output bandwidth will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years. Read that sentence again.

Exactly
Most peoples’ theory of mind for evil is under-developed
Someone who is willing to steal is willing to lie about why they are stealing
They have no compunction for exploiting the weak mental model of the society they are destroying
The entire “compassion for criminals and fraudsters” psyop has done more damage to the west than you can possibly imagine
We should be far, far more harsh to fraudsters and theives
