Elon Musk just threw out IQ scores, degrees, and fancy vocabulary in one sentence. His definition of intelligence is brutal and simple: how accurately can you predict what happens next?
Not how fast you read. Not how many books you’ve finished. Not how well you debate. Just — were you right about the future?
Think about it. A chess grandmaster sees 20 moves ahead. A great investor sees where markets go before they get there. A great engineer sees failure points before they fail. They’re not “smart” because of how they performed in school. They’re smart because reality keeps confirming their predictions.
And the same applies to AI. Elon doesn’t care how fluently a model writes or how impressive it sounds. He wants to know: does it get the future right?
By that metric, most of what we call intelligence is just confidence wearing a costume.

Epic Games released an official plugin that lets Claude Code control Unreal Engine directly.
It connects Claude Code to the Unreal Editor and exposes hundreds of editor tools across 30+ toolsets:
→ Actors, Blueprints and materials
→ Niagara effects, Control Rigs and Sequencer
→ State Trees, widgets and the Gameplay Ability System
→ Automation testing
Install it from Anthropic's official plugin marketplace:
/plugin install unreal-engine-skills-for-claude-code@claude-plugins-official
In Unreal, enable the ModelContextProtocol and AllToolsets plugins, then start the MCP server with the editor open.
Works on Mac, Linux, and Windows through Git Bash or WSL.

With Unity Spark, you can do it all in the browser 🖥️
Games take iteration. Start with a prototype, keep refining and polishing your game with your team, including using the web-based editor for more advanced tools, like tweaking lighting, managing assets, and editing your scene directly.
Move beyond a prompt and build a game everyone wants to play.

Maybe we should start a competitor to Amazon 🤔
amazon is blocking grok @bots from ordering, and elon's answer is just have your bot buy it somewhere else.
one of my grok bots only handles my amazon returns, so i'm watching this one closely.
would you switch stores for your bot? 🛒
Elon, i think its time for an X Shop? 👀

Elon Musk’s advice to young people:
Be optimistic about the future
Learn as much as you can
Read a lot books
Try a lot of things
“It’s better to be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right. Your quality of life will be much better”
“I’m confident the future will not be boring…. He’s going to be very interesting and most likely to be great”

Warren Buffett says there’s no reason to spend your life working with people who make you miserable.xitter.cf/watoulsky/status/21075…
If your job keeps you up at night and makes your stomach turn, he says it may be time to find something else.
“Working with people you don’t like is like marrying for money.”
Life is too short to spend it around people you can’t stand.

Warren Buffett says investors can spend too much time trying to predict short-term numbers.xitter.cf/watoulsky/status/21073…
Instead of obsessing over how many iPhones will be sold next quarter, he says investors should focus on understanding the underlying business.
“Nobody buys a farm based on whether they think it’s going to rain next year or not.”
Think like a business owner, not a weather forecaster.

🚨I just discovered something new with Astra + ImageGen and @threejs !
I placed an untextured 3D model in the scene and asked Astra to use ImageGen projections to texture the model, then bake those projections into actual textures and it worked on the very first try!
I feel like I’m discovering things Astra can do that maybe even @OpenAI @thsottiaux @sama are not aware.
