I don't think people realize this is the closest elon will come to being involved in government, and what an opportunity it is..
here's the recipe I've seen him perform:
* find the unequivocally excellent and critical people within an organization who put the mission first
* unlock them to do their best work by removing all barriers in their way
* align incentives for that organization so all vectors point in the same direction with a quick feedback loop
* cut wasteful spending and then invest strategically with discipline
America could be much greater than it is today and somehow it's still the best while being massively handicapped. Imagine if:
* legal, merit-based immigration was fast
* the best engineers and technologists wanted to invest and build strong gov products/services for the people
* sick care actually became healthcare and was affordable
* government agencies were held accountable to their missions and bureaucracy was actually cut
* inflation and spending were under control
* there were long-term investments that got people excited about the future

Ryan Williams is 17 years old out there making grown men look silly on 75 Yard Touchdown catch and RUN.
Think I saw him “Moss” a guy then go for a find 2-split 2 into a Reggie Bush step back to a Tyreek Hill sprint down the sideline. 🤯

A comparison between the courtroom scene from the Menéndez brothers' Netflix show and the real-life trial. In 1989, the brothers killed their parents Kitty and Jose, claiming abuse as their motive. However, they were both sentenced to life without parole in 1996.

99.9% of resources allocated to Earth, but 0.1% allocated to becoming multiplanetary seems wise
ELON: WE SHOULD ALLOCATE 1% OF OUR EFFORTS TO BECOMING MULTIPLANETARY
"I do think that 99% of our effort should be focused on Earth, and really, 99.9% of our effort is focused on Earth.
But I do think it's worth to say, let's take 1% and try to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars and make life multiplanetary.
And I think there are a couple of good reasons for that.
First of all, there's always the possibility that there could be some terrible thing that happens on Earth that we can't, that we maybe don't anticipate.
And if you look at the fossil record and the fact that there have been five major extinction events in the last 500 million years, and what happened to the dinosaurs?
They used to be here.
They're not around anymore.
So, that's the defensive argument.
And then, there's what I call the inspiration argument or the excitement.
Building a city on Mars would just be this incredible adventure, that there be things in life that are exciting and inspiring, that when you wake up in the morning, you're like, yes, I'm glad to be alive.
And I think having this great adventure would be like that."

BREAKING: Donald Trump announces that he will ban taxes on overtime work if elected president to incentivize hard workers.
"I am also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime."
Under the plan, anyone who works over 40 hours a week would not be taxed on the hours over 40 for any given week.
"The people who work overtime are among the hardest working citizens in our country and for too long, no one in Washington has been looking out for them."
"They're police officers, nurses, factory workers, construction workers, truck drivers and machine operators."
"It's time for the working man and woman to finally catch a break."

America is going bankrupt btw
"If Trump wins, we do have an opportunity to do kind of a once in a lifetime deregulation & reduction in the size of the government.
America is going bankrupt extremely quickly. The interest payments on the national debt just exceeded the defense budget." 一 @elonmusk
