Elon Musk: “Path to Petawatts is Mass drivers on Moon”
SpaceX’s Lunar Mass Driver is a planned electromagnetic launch system on the Moon, similar to a giant coilgun-style catapult, designed to launch solar-powered AI compute satellites into orbit or deep space at extremely low cost
Sam Altman asked Elon Musk what he'd do if he were 22 again. Not "build Tesla." Not "start a rocket company." Two words: be useful
That's the whole framework. It sits on two questions almost nobody asks themselves.
How much better is your solution than what already exists?
How many people can it actually help?
Multiply the two. That's your real impact.
Every company that has ever changed the planet started by solving a useful problem for a specific group. Nobody who set out to "change the world" ever did. The companies that transformed anything started by making one boring, useful thing 10x better.
22-year-olds looking for a moonshot miss the actual moonshot sitting in the boring problem next to them.
Be useful. Ship it to a small group. See if they can't live without it. Repeat.
What's the most important problem you think still doesn't have a real solution? Drop it in the replies.
