Every morning when you first wake up, take a moment and say to yourself: “I am made of stars.” h/t @BrianRoemmele

That’s the wonderful thing about American capitalism. People have enough time and money left over after buying food, clothes, housing, cell phones, internet access, weed, tattoos, and more to make giant balloons of people they envy using the tools provided by capitalism. Some people spend their lives making balloons. Some people spend their lives making rockets that land themselves.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

Hey @BrianRoemmele, remember how many kids were inspired by the Apollo missions? Imagine how many will be inspired by @SpaceX. 🚀🚀🚀 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hell yeah we worked our asses off. In my 13 years there, I worked at least 75% of the Saturdays. The joke was if you only worked 50hrs wk, then you were just a part timer. Everyone in Production worked 6 days a week, minimum 58hrs. 10hrs Mon-Fri, 8hrs Sats. I remember leaving at 3:30pm and and being back at 12:30am. Congratulations to all of my SpaceX family!!!

If you're angry that Elon Musk is now a Trillionaire, you have the wrong mindset. Elon becoming a Trillionaire literally has nothing to do with you. The global economy is worth roughly $100 trillion per year. There's roughly $1 QUADRILLION in global assets. That's 1,000 trillion. Elon's net worth is equivalent to 0.1% of the world's total asset base. The other 99.9% exists with or without Elon. If you're actually angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, what's really happening is that you've either: a) have lost hope in having a good future because of circumstances in your life b) you're wasting too much time ingesting garbage information, which is taking time away from materially improving your life's circumstance or c) you're a jealous person that needs a lot of introspection. For example - there are literally thousands of people who have worked at SpaceX that are now officially MILLIONAIRES because of the work they've put in. They didn't steal it from anyway. They literally created this value out of thin air by working EXTREMELY HARD and making EXTREMELY USEFUL technology - reusable rockets. So instead of being angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, instead channel that energy into building something that you would be proud of and society can massively benefit from. You can actually do it. There's literally nothing stopping you but yourself. Set aside your fear, anger, or whatever other block you have, and FORCE YOURSELF to do something big. As you can very clearly see, you will be rewarded for it MASSIVELY. There's no better time than now.

Elon is a trillionaire. This changes absolutely nothing for me, so I think I’ll go do some pull-ups and focus on bettering myself.

On this first day of his trillionaire status, I’d like to thank @elonmusk for using some of that wealth to buy @X and save free speech online. 👏🏻

SpaceX there is a pretty cool name (say it three times fast :). IMO Planet Express would’ve been 🔥🔥🔥

There are two types of people in this country. It’s people that take responsibility for their lives and those that blame everybody else for their situation. I made a monument about our country rising to the occasion! The World War I Memorial in DC

Happy 69th birthday @ScottAdamsSays. Simultaneous sip to your memory and honor. Gratitude to @akirathedon for keeping your wisdom alive. music.apple.com/us/album/alm…

How do you find the motivation to finish your project? And how do you stay motivated throughout the whole process? These questions go nowhere. I think a lot of people abandon their projects because they've "lost motivation". They think that, in order to finish something, you need to feel motivated all the time, and if you don't… well, onto the next thing. And that's very far from reality. Sure, brain chemistry helps. Focus helps. Some people have this almost obsessive URGE to see their project finished, and that helps too. But even with that, and I'm definitely the kind of person who can lock himself in for hours and hours if needed, I can't remember a single semi serious project where I was motivated from start to finish. Like some cotton candy cloud fantasy where I wake up every day excited to spend 10h working on something. No. F*ck no. I'd say I spend around 70% of any project in a state where I basically hate it. I'm not convinced by it. It's not good enough. It's painfully hard to get the wheel moving, and my brain keeps trying to trick me with any excuse to go do literally anything else. It's impossible to stay motivated all the time. In the end, at least for me, it's much more about SACRIFICE. Patience is key. Time is key. Even if you don't see results at first, simply putting time into a project means you're getting somewhere, even if it doesn’t feel like it. And hopefully, sooner or later, it pays off through the knowledge you've accumulated. Oh, and of course, only process the feedback that's actually useful. Mentally filter out any malicious or destructive comments people make about your work. Make things that you would want to use, see, or enjoy yourself. Everything else is noise.

Amazing @Starlink thx @United. Speeding while flying.

Hey ⁦@BrianRoemmele⁩ what if the delivery robots in LA exhausted sandalwood incense?

I LOVE that they forced him to watch the video. Far too many bleeding heart liberals clueless to the violence these guys are capable of.
