Elon Musk is giving $100 million to anyone who can find a way to pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or oceans and sequester it durably and sustainably.
Personally, I think $100 million is a bargain.
Elon Musk told me that he only thinks in probabilities, not certainties when running a business.
Almost nothing is certain in business, so he continually takes actions with the highest chance of success.
Elon Musk has played a massive role in transforming payments, space exploration, cars, and green energy adoption.
What industry do you want him to tackle next? My choice is aviation… What’s yours?
A good way to understand Exponentials:
1 million seconds ago was 11 days ago.
1 billion seconds ago was 1992 (31 years ago).
1 trillion seconds ago was 31,000 B.C.
Having known Elon Musk for 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to watch his meteoric rise into someone who is arguably the greatest entrepreneur of our age.
Here's what EVERY exponential entrepreneur can learn from Elon. Thread.
We are edging closer toward a dramatically extended healthspan — where 100 is the new 60. What will you create, where will you explore, and how will you spend your time if you are able to add an additional 40 healthy years to your life?
It’s done!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Spectacular visual show here in Mumbai at the Ambani wedding. Here with PM Modi, hundreds of CEOs, Bollywood stars, spiritual leaders... My first Indian wedding... Wow!
Bitcoin = Abundance. Hanging with
@michael_saylor
, friend, MIT Fraternity Brother, and advocate for humanity. His message: “BTC is a global, affordable, simple, & secure savings account to billions of people”. I Agree.
colleges prioritized making people feel perfectly safe over everything else and produced a generation afraid to fail, and thus afraid to take risk, and thus on pace to accomplish extremely little
Abundance is a tale of good news. Traditional media won't tell it to you; you HAVE to look for yourself. If you do, you might be surprised by how ABUNDANT the world actually is.
We're at the cusp of a food revolution. Sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-cost food sourcing for every being on this Earth will become our reality.
Here's the evidence (PART 2):
An asteroid ten km in diameter (slightly smaller than SF), made the most dominant species extinct. Our asteroid defense systems need to grow exponentially if humanity hopes to survive.
In 2018, Elon Musk took a pay package that would pay him basically nothing unless he multiplied Tesla’s market cap several times.
Since then, Tesla’s market cap has more than 15x’d and Elon has unlocked over $200 billion in compensation.
Lesson: Always bet on yourself.
In Babylon 1750 BC, 1 hour of light from a sesame oil lamp would’ve cost you more than 50 hours of work. A tallow candle in the 1800s would’ve cost you over 6 hours of work for the same amount of light. Today, on average, it would cost you less than half a second of working time.
Never underestimate the power of collaboration. When diverse minds come together, magic happens. Let's work together to solve the world's grand challenges and create a brighter future for all.
Our default for images of famous people or disaster scenes should soon be “eh, it’s probably AI” (until proven otherwise).
And that’s honestly not a bad thing. We need more online skepticism.

I would PAY the US Post Office to Stop delivering me junk mail, which is basically most of the mail.

It’s win-win for them… less work and more revenue!
What's shocking to me is that 70% of ALL heart attacks have no antecedence -- there's no shortness of breath etc., someone suddenly dies from soft plaque. I deeply hope my work in longevity helps change this.
By the end of this decade (2030), we will be extending the healthy human lifespan by decades.
Your job is not to die from something stupid in the interim.
Having known Elon Musk for 17 years, I’ve had the chance to watch his meteoric rise into someone who is arguably the greatest entrepreneur of our age.
He operates on “first principle thinking.” Here’s how he describes it:
Elon Musk told me that he only thinks in probabilities, not certainties, when running a business.

Astra made it to orbit 2 years faster than SpaceX and with half the team of RocketLab - with a rocket that is 5X cheaper to build and 3X cheaper to launch!

The media has become increasingly negative since 2000, with more and more headlines expressing fear, anger, sadness, and disgust. Neutral headlines are getting rarer.

Right now, more folks have access to a cell phone than a toilet. Ancient Romans had better quality than half of the people alive today. I am constantly reminded of the speed at which we must move to reverse some of our grand challenges.
The way Elon Musk operates should be much more common for high-performing CEOs:
Tackle a huge problem, put teams in place to work out the details and perform the day-to-day, and then move on to the next huge problem.
Hello Billionaires, you know that you still can’t take it with you, right? Why is the world aren’t you investing aggressively is Age-Reversal? The technology is here, on a tipping point. Make it happen.
Thank you to
@elonmusk
for funding the $15 million

Very proud we were able to leverage his capital. $300 million was spent by teams competing for the $15 million purse 🏆
Leading causes of death (globally):
1. Heart Disease
2. Stroke
3. Cancer
4. Chronic Pain stemming from inflammation and autoimmune disease
5. Obesity and diabetes
6. Alzheimer's and cognitive decline
Good news: We are curing all of these are an exponential pace.
@elonmusk
Elon, making to 90 - 100 is a function of a number of basic things: minimized sugar; maximized exercise; intermittent caloric restrictions (like Prolon); advanced diagnostics (Fountain Life); 8 hours of sleep per night and Mindset.
Making it past 100 will be a function of more
SpaceX was once considered a pipe dream. Now, it’s a hot investment. Longevity will soon flip the switch. We’re about to burst the bubble of many industries like these.
btw, not financial advice.
i’m frankly tired of the fear mongering about AI...
AI holds the potential to give us Fusion, extend our healthspan, cure cancer, teach every child on the planet, democratize and demonetize healthcare… Frankly create an incredible world of Abundance.
The entirety of humanity has never had a *SINGULAR ENEMY*. What happens when 200,000,000 scientists, physicians and technologists focus on a single crisis? We *science the shit out it* and solve the problem!
Congrats
