I got to spend 30, 40 years writing code, mostly video games, and I'm just really grateful for that experience. What a dream.
I loved every little piece of it.
The bugs you'd fight with for days. Going to bed thinking about code and waking up with the answer (sometimes).
That feeling when something you crafted and agonized over finally just works. And doing it next to artists, testers, audio/musicians, animators, producers, designers and programmers, shaping these experiences together.
Now, in less than a couple of years, it's mostly AI writing the code, and it's bittersweet.
Looking back, that was a golden era, kind of a golden opportunity in the whole history of humankind, to program these things by hand. I don't think it comes back.
But I also think the next 30 or 40 years are going to be incredible for how these things get created and shaped.
So, grateful for the opportunity. A little sad. Very excited.

Steve Jobs would fire the entire company and replace them with AI if he was alive to see this

I swore I wouldn’t feed this thing.
Four hours of men who have never built anything diagnosing the one man who has.
They call him miserable. They call him chaotic. They call him hard to work with.
Good.
The future is not a group project. It does not require your comfort. It requires someone willing to carry the weight while the rest of you sit, talk, and film the strain.
He is happy. He is strong. He is moving the species. You are moving your mouths.
That is the whole film. That is the whole complaint.
Now starve it.

I’m with Maye! Elon is extraordinary and (I know you’ve heard this) I love working for him (coming up on my 24th year doing so). I don’t love being around miserable people. Elon isn’t one of them.
This is weird @THR “Someone who worked closely with Elon told me, ‘He’s the most miserable man I’ve ever met.’ I haven’t seen him miserable, but that’s just me. His mom.

Alex Gibney is obviously going to make the most convincingly terrible hit piece on me that he can possibly think of.
He’s a douchebag to his core and, in his own words, incredibly biased against me.
Between 2020 and 2024, director Alex Gibney made 12 donations to Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Here’s a brief sampling of Gibney’s words on @elonmusk:
April 4, 2022: “Mine would be: Musk ownership might be the nudge i need to quit twitter.”
April 14, 2022: “Like Elon’s ‘free market.’ Definitely not free and unaffordably expensive.”
September 20, 2022: Recommended a Polestar over a Tesla, adding “Bonus: when you buy one you are not giving your money to Elon Musk.”
When a director hates and despises the subject they are covering, you will never get a fair and balanced documentary.
I would be interested in a documentary about the person building rockets, autonomous cars, robots, a brain-computer interface, and tunnels who occasionally became a trillionaire — but the director’s clear bias makes this a predictable hit piece not rooted in truth.

This is why we defunded you, @NPR.
Virus researchers — who are familiar with lab accidents and how research on coronaviruses is conducted — say there is virtually zero chance that the novel coronavirus was released as result of a lab accident, despite misinformation being circulated.

The Economist had 90 minutes with an individual shaping the future of our country and the world.
This interview is a clear example of how trust in legacy media is broken. People want the opportunity to learn more about one another—not more division and polarization.
When given the chance to ask about giving the blind a chance to see, advancing humanity through space travel, or providing the disabled the ability to drive a car, the reporter chose clickbait questions meant to drive engagement rather than understand her subject.
Elon did an excellent job answering her questions and explaining his core values while making her look like a fool.

ELON MUSK: "Zero people died because of DOGE"
“USAID was a political organization. USAID funding was not stopped; it was moved to the State Department. There were claims that healthcare programs were shut down, but these claims are false. When funding is stopped for fraudulent organizations, do you think they’re going to say, ‘Please keep funding the fraud,’ or come up with a sympathetic story to get the funding restored? Obviously, it will be the latter. The amount of funding we’re talking about is far less than what could be supported by private foundations like the Gates Foundation or MacKenzie Bezos’s foundation. They have tens of billions of dollars and are capable of acting very quickly. If they didn’t, I would say they’re equally responsible. Zero people died because of DOGE. Zero.”

The fact the most iconic structure at LAX is both abandoned and unlit is an embarrassment.
You’re not making the best first impression on our summer visitors, @MayorOfLA

Happy birthday, America! I love this remarkable country, which was built on the idea that anyone can change the world. For 250 years, our country has been a testament to the power of possibility. Let’s keep building extraordinary things together.

Mayim Bialik (@MissMayim) says COVID radically changed how people treated anyone who asked questions.
“I’m a bleeding-heart liberal…The notion that if I questioned what we were doing about school closures, church closures, BLM marches—I just wanted to talk about it. And even in my own home, it did not always feel safe.”

Absolutely. This is a total lie.
All DOGE did was require contact with the aid recipients to confirm that funds were being used legitimately. Anything less than this is insane!
Multiple people from USAID have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing money.
Moreover, they pled GUILTY!!

spaceX: ok
me: i would also like high speed satellite internet
spaceX: got it

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
