After finishing my CS degree from Stanford, I became obsessed with excelling in recruiting because I believe humans are the atomic unit of value creation—and assembling the most exceptional people is the highest-leverage way to compound value. Now, I'm assembling a team of unconventional engineers at xAI to scale the world's highest talent-density organization. If interested DM me or apply here

Great time to jump on the rocket ship 🚀 SpaceXAI is building the AI that will advance scientific discovery and extend the light of consciousness to the stars. First-principles thinkers who’ve solved hard engineering challenges (from hardware to gaming and beyond) and shipped useful, loved products — this is for you. Email ai_eng@spacex.com or DM me with ~3 bullet points of exceptional ability
SpaceX is actively hiring world-class engineers/physicists for SpaceXAI, even if you have zero prior experience in AI. Smart humans figure it out fast. Please send an email with ~3 bullet points demonstrating evidence of exceptional ability to ai_eng@spacex.com.

Thrilled to welcome @milichab and @JasonBud to build what’s possible at XAI SpaceX The AI products that truly transforms the world and delivers abundance for humanity won't look like today's tools. It demands first-principles rethinking, grand ambition, vastly more training compute—and crucially, 100X inference scale to serve billions in real time. What gets me out of bed every morning is the certainty that this future is within reach, but only possible within one ecosystem that innovates across energy, chips, data centers, AI models, space ships, internet, and humanoid robots.

I wake up grateful every morning to be living the American Dream 🇺🇸 The Dream based on a timeless promise rooted in the Pursuit of Happiness. Here, no matter your origins, you can forge your path to success and prosperity through hard work, and determination. America remains the ultimate haven for those who chase this dream via entrepreneurship: the builders, makers, and founders. Though they may not grace the headlines, the true heroes modeling the American Dream are our Main Street operators in every town across this land of the free. They fuel local economies, serve their communities, and represent the backbone of our economy - 40% of US GDP - 60 million Americans employed Yet today, we face a crisis: - The majority of our the SMBs are owned and operated by boomers approaching retirement without a clear path to pass the torch. - Our best on-the-ground operators lack the financial vehicles to become owners. Fueled by these threats, we partnered with Will Fry, @BuySellSMB, and Joe Lonsdale,@JTLonsdale, to build American Operator, @OperateUSA Based in Austin, TX, American Operator is rapidly scaling the team, hiring great engineers and operators. DM @OperateUSA to join the mission. Let’s Revive the American Dream 🇺🇸

Today, we launched American Operator - a national effort to revive the American Dream through business ownership. America’s SMBs are critical and belong in the hands of the next generation of local owners.

One of our core beliefs at @humancapital is that the right group of people, sufficiently motivated and capitalized can solve any tractable problem. This ultimately means that the true moat is the quality of team, speed of execution and pain tolerance. @mansourtarek_ and @luanalopeslara are focused on building a world-class team. We believe they have consistently exhibited maniacal urgency and true grit. Founders like this endure because their mission is deeply rooted and personal. They never lose the underdog mentality.
Kalshi raised $1B at an $11B valuation. A decade ago, only a few thousand people knew what a prediction market was. Eighteen months ago, most prediction markets were banned - until we overcame the government to set them free. Over the past seven years, our community has opened up an entirely new category. Today, Kalshi is trusted, used, and loved by millions of people. It’s a part of everyday culture, and it’s driving one of the most important shifts in consumer behavior in recent history. The time has finally come for prediction markets to achieve their full potential and we are intent on making that happen. To all the believers and the early adopters: thank you.

After knowing Walt, and Kahlil for more than 5-years we had no doubt on their level of ambition and their bar for the team they want to build. We are excited to lead their Seed round, and work closely with them to scale an exceptional team to build the payment stack for AI agents.
