I grew up building train-sets with my Dad, and I'm loving the nostalgia tour of these once mighty giants for the 250th USA anniversary.
We're getting to enjoy them more than their contemporaries because we get awesome aerial drone shots, slow drive-bys, races and scenery across the country.

Wondering if in another ~75 years, we'll have nostalgic rocket-launches with the quaint technology we're using for space-shipping today.

I don't mind living in a society that allows a man who employs more than 110,000 people, pioneered electric cars, and whose rockets we take to the moon, to be the world's first trillionaire.

I represent this comment. For RiskThing, I'm endeavoring to find the right balance between a "fortress for the client's most intimate data" and "ship an MVP that people can do productive things with immediately.

AI is letting too many people be perfectionists, and perfectionists don’t change the world. If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of what is released, you have waited too long. Ship now, and iterate!

No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

LINK, Katalyst Space’s robotic servicing spacecraft, has been integrated into a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket at @NASAWallops. Later this month, it'll launch from Kwajalein Atoll and rendezvous with our Swift telescope to attempt an orbital boost. go.nasa.gov/4eDXoU3
ALT Inside a large white high bay, a small silver satellite is attached to the front of a long white rocket. The satellite has two rows of black lenses on the side facing the camera, two solar panels folded top and bottom, and three robotic arms stowed along the sides and face. The rocket’s nose cone is open, with one side missing and the other folded away like a banana peel, revealing a silvery interior. It has a long wing on the top, and the words “Northrop Grumman” are just visible in blue letters on the right side. This image is watermarked with “Credit: NASA/Ron Beard.”

The satellite is silver with black solar panels folded against the near side. A black electronics cart with a laptop on top rests in front of the platform. Other large pieces of equipment are visible to the left and right inside the bay, and an American flag hangs on the far wall. This image is watermarked with “Credit: NASA/Ron Beard.”

I just want to be able to inspect all the comments on a tweet. Apparently I'm experiencing some bug related to backend-enrollment on pay per use.

Considering time, focus, & risk,
Will @elonmusk finally be able to afford going to space after the IPO?
I believe we all have the opportunity to go to space. The price collapse is just inevitable.

I once pitched a partner at a VC firm, who informed he was late because someone in his family had some accident.
I urged him to reschedule the meeting and return to his family, but he insisted on continuing because I had traveled for the pitch.
After listening to the pitch, he spent the remaining time berating me for pitching him, as I already had investors with more capital than he.
Apparently I should have asked them for more instead of asking him.

I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.
12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30 minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.
I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.
You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.
It's a dance.
And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.
If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.
No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.
It is weird.

A startup, a skill, and a life all fail the same way: by optimizing for appearance before usefulness.

Brilliant insight to turn the upper stage - the part that gets thrown away or struggled to be re-used - into the platform itself!
It makes you wonder why those other rocket-companies-as-AI-data center companies are bothering with launching 3rd party payloads at all!

If your valuation is based primarily on compute and comms, then launching others’ payloads may be “optimizing a part which should not exist.”
