The most terrifying age is 40. Not because you’re getting old or have some grey hair, but because your perception of time completely changes. At 40, life is f*cking serious. If you have kids and don’t work hard, they starve and end up getting a bad education. You also see the difference between those who f*cked around and figured it out and those that settled for mediocre. The stark difference will rip your face off. A person who could have done a lot and didn’t by 40 has wasted the best years of their life. It’s sad to see. By 40, the lifestyle you chose becomes obvious. Your hair turns grey or falls out if you abuse your body. You end up with a pot belly if you eat like sh*t. If you don’t go to the gym you have no energy. Something else happens. Your parents either die or have multiple near-misses. You start to realise they will be dead one day and you’re in charge of your bloodline. This responsibility weighs on you. Even cooler, the knob heads in high school who made fun of you or thought they were cool are not modern day losers. They work dead end jobs and watch sports with a beer to numb their pain. They don’t dare f*ck with your aura anymore. Pessimism can often set in to. You start to obsess over news and politics. You think the government will save you or that billionaires are evil for doing what you refused to do. Jealousy gets ugly. It becomes a realise valve. The best place to deploy it is on social media. You rage post comments calling stuff scams and trying to discredit people. But it doesn’t work. People ignore you because they know you’re a little b*tch. For many people, 40 becomes a moment of either radical transformation or a slow decline. The crazy part isn’t turning 40. It’s realizing how much time you wasted being trapped by fear.

Eight months ago today, Steak n Shake launched its burger-to-Bitcoin transformation when we started accepting bitcoin payments. Our same-store sales have risen dramatically ever since. All Bitcoin sales go into our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Today we increased our Bitcoin exposure by $10,000,000 in notional value. We have created a self-sustaining system — growing same-store sales that grow the SBR. Improving food quality expands Steak n Shake's reach and leverages Bitcoin into a new and delicious dimension. 🚀

Elon Musk on 2026 in a new 𝕏 Space tonight: “We should have wide-spread Robotaxi, that will be a big thing in 2026. Optimus V3 will launch, and then hopefully SpaceX will achieve full reusability with Starship. Those are the pretty giant ones.”

Elon Musk: Everything is solar power. The rest is noise. “The sun is about 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter's about 0.1% and everything else is in the remaining 0.1%, and we are much less than 0.1%. So, if you burnt all of the mass of the solar system, then the total energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. If you just burnt Earth, the whole planet, and burnt Jupiter, which is very big and quite challenging to burn, turn Jupiter into a thermonuclear reactor, the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system and everything else is in the miscellaneous category. Basically, no matter what you do, total energy produced in our solar system rounds up to 100% from the sun. You could even throw another Jupiter in, so we're going to snag a Jupiter from somewhere else, you could teleport two more Jupiters into our solar system, burn them, and the sun would still round up to 100%. As long as you're at 99.6%, you're still rounding up to 100%. Maybe that gives some perspective of why solar is really the thing that matters. And, as soon as you start thinking about things at a grander scale, like Kardashev Scale 2 civilizations, it becomes very, very obvious. I'm not saying anything that's new, by the way. Anyone who studies physics has known this for a very long time. In fact, Kardashev, a Russian physicist who came up with this idea, I think, in the 1960s, just as a way to classify civilizations, where Kardashev Scale 1 would be, you've harnessed most of the energy of the planet, Kardashev Scale 2, you've harnessed most of the energy of your sun, Kardashev 3, you've harnessed most of the energy of a galaxy. Now we're only about 1% or a few percent of Kardashev Scale 1 right now, optimistically. But as soon as you go to Kardashev Scale 2, where you're talking about the power of the sun, then you're really just saying everything is solar power and the rest is in the noise. Like, the sun produces about a billion times, or call it well over a billion times more energy than everything on Earth combined.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

NEWS: Tesla has just expanded its Robotaxi service area in Austin, Texas for the first time in two months.

This really is happening. It is a formal acknowledgment of the S&P as the Ponzi/retirement/wealth-scheme of the world. BTC, gold, and other financial assets will follow/continue. New world will be a crazy mix of AI/UBI/S&P wealth funding an abundant world with 2-3/day work weeks and robots making everything. Buckle up. A new era is dawning... Buffet/Munger world of insurance companies and railroads is dead! Sell BRK and buy BTC.

"Tesla has access to the Niagara Falls of data. We see 500 years of driving data every single day" — @aelluswamy

Bay Area cross 1 million of Robotaxi miles. Austin crossed 250,000.

They said making an affordable electric vehicle couldn’t be done. Starting a new car company sounded utterly idiotic. Having that new car company only make electric cars? Idiocy squared. But they were determined. They fought gravity to make it work. Most CEOs having achieved that would rest on their laurels. Not Musk. He said we’re going to build the most advanced self-driving AI on the market into every car we sell. Every car will have the hardware to drive itself. Again, people told him he was nuts, learning nothing from the last time they doubted him. And here we are. FSD 14. Robotaxi. The age of autonomy is just beginning, but just like when this photo was taken the wheels have been set in motion. It’s a done deal. Throughout this entire saga, Musk essentially worked for free, since his 2018 comp plan was rejected in court. This is a travesty of justice. So let’s vote to make things right. When Elon got $160 million from the sale of PayPal to eBay, he could have lived the rest of his life on a yacht surrounded by super models. Instead he risked every dollar he had to create SpaceX and Tesla (and came close to losing it all many times). Where would US space be without it? The US EV industry? I want to see what Musk will do with the billions in options he is rightfully owed. The greatest benefits will accrue to society at large. Give Elon Musk a trillion dollars and he will generate at least $10 trillion of wealth downstream, if not $100 trillion. Hate him or love him, you know it’s true. I want to see what that future looks like. Who is voting yes with me?

Tesla FSD is safely driving me and my family 100% autonomously over 1,000+ miles to and from Las Vegas. Starlink satellites are beaming 212 Mbps high speed internet straight to my Cybertruck from space, allowing my kids to livestream an NBA game and use six other Apple devices at the same time, without a single drop. xAI’s Grok is teaching me new things in my Tesla, the world’s smartest AI as my personal co-pilot for knowledge and any curiosity I have. And while all this is happening, I’m sharing my thoughts and experiences through 𝕏 to millions of people around the world, showing the world the truth on just how powerful and life changing these technologies really are. You see, we might be driving on the same road, but we’re not living in the same reality. I’m in 2069… while most are still stuck in 2025. (fyi, this was all uploaded via Starlink)

Really disappointed with the development of submarines. In a rational world that cared about beauty we would have vernian luxury submarines with baroque interiors that act as vessels for contemplative voyages around the world. Instead we just have ugly black tubes
