According to the post, key AI bottleneck suppliers to SpaceX include NVDA (exclusive compute for Colossus/Starmind), MU (memory limiting factor), STM (Starlink RF chips), RDW (orbital solar power), GE Vernova (gas turbines for power), and SMCI (AI server racks). The strongest matches to Elon's highlighted constraints are NVDA, MU, and GE Vernova.

By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.
Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?

This is a good role for govt. regulation but as an SF voter in Scott’s district, @Scott_Wiener’s SB1047 is absolutely wrong use of govt. regulation. I hope @GavinNewsom vetoes #SB1047
I just signed a bill to make this illegal in the state of California. You can no longer knowingly distribute an ad or other election communications that contain materially deceptive content -- including deepfakes.

Deeply honored to be included in TIME’s 2nd annual list of top 100 leaders on AI, alongside @sama, @yoshua_bengio, and @mustafasuleyman. AI offers tremendous potential to improve our world—California must lead in responsibly developing this transformative technology.

Just gonna keep it real @GavinNewsom, if you don't veto this bill, you will kill the Californian AI startup ecosystem. Of course this is what the incumbents want. Choose wisely.
On a 29-9 vote, the Senate just gave final sign off to SB 1047, our AI safety bill. The bill now heads to the Governor.

Hotels > @Airbnb, a horror story 🫠 It’s 2:30am in London. Flight delayed 3 hours. Raining. I message our host that we’re going to miss the check in window. There’s a fee. Weird since it’s self check in, but ok We get to the airbnb and the lockbox doesn’t work. Rain, rain..

The Great Deleveraging ...high interest rates are forcing back door QE, which is simply a form of recapitalization required by anyone over-levered going into the great deleveraging.

A small non-profit school far from Silicon Valley reached out to tell me that they are an SVB customer. If they hadn’t gotten access to their funds, teachers would have been laid off. These are the kind of innocent bystanders you create if you don’t protect deposits.

One thing is certain after #SVBCrash , #SiliconValley needs to be more engaged in #Finance as well as #Politics. Finance & Politics are the #infrastructure on which our country runs, yet not deeply catered by the innovation ecosystem.

A very telling time on leadership, capability and character of VC firms and tech leaders alike!
Some VCs are notably absent and not bridging their portfolio companies right now. @vkhosla took out a PERSONAL line of credit to bridge at borrowing cost to his. Think really hard about who you take money from. And if you’re not stepping up as a VC right now, be better.

Please support to show grassroots strength and potential fallout on American innovation and economy without action by the federal govt.
