SpaceX Starbase: Helping Lift Brownsville Out of Poverty and Bring Wealth to Local Families For many years, Brownsville and the Rio Grande Valley carried the difficult reputation of being among the poorest regions in the United States. High poverty rates shaped daily life for families across Cameron County for decades. In the 1990s, the area was even designated a federal Rural Empowerment Zone in recognition of these long-standing challenges. Today, the trajectory is changing. Poverty rates in Cameron County have been declining steadily. They fell from the mid-30s percent range around 2010 to 28.9% in the 2015–2019 period, and now stand at 24.8% according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data (2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates). While the rate is still higher than state and national averages, the consistent downward trend reflects real, measurable progress. A New Wave of Investment and Job Creation Recent data from the Greater Brownsville Economic Development Corporation’s FY 2025 Annual Impact Report shows strong momentum. Between October 2024 and September 2025, the organization helped attract $183.7 million in new investment and supported the creation of 3,288 jobs. The report also shows 10,604 jobs retained during that period and 7,116 jobs already committed for 2026. *Greater Brownsville EDC FY 2025 Key Economic Highlights (see infographic below) These figures reflect broad economic activity across the region, with SpaceX’s Starbase playing a significant role as a major anchor project. Starbase has brought thousands of direct jobs to the area and has helped attract suppliers and related investment. This type of large-scale development is helping address long-standing needs for stable employment and skills development in Brownsville and surrounding communities. Local voices are also noticing the change. Former Brownsville City Councilwoman Jessica Tetreau, @JessicaTetreau at Starbase beach at sunset described the shift she has witnessed in her own community: “Before, in the past in Brownsville, people would talk about the brain drain, how all of our youth would have to leave to San Antonio, to Austin to find jobs… And now these young people that are from the community are finding these amazing jobs.” She shared that in her own neighborhood, parents are now working at SpaceX, and children are growing up excited about launches and rocket engineering, “just like their fathers.” “The kids that are graduating from UTRGV and local universities, they’re coming to work here. It’s really exciting. Engineering is now one of the hottest and exciting things to have in this area.” Direct Support for Education and Downtown Renewal In addition to job creation, there has been targeted investment in the community’s future. In 2021, Elon Musk and the Musk Foundation committed $30 million to the area. $20 million to schools across Cameron County and $10 million for the revitalization of downtown Brownsville. Brownsville Independent School District received more than $2.4 million of the school funding. The money has supported the expansion of Career and Technical Education programs, helping prepare young people for the skilled jobs now available locally. The downtown portion included a $1 million grant to the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation to strengthen the historic core of the city. Below are a few photos I took while touring downtown Brownsville with Jessica Tetreau right after Starship Launch 12, showing the renewed energy through spots like Main Street Deli, a local bookstore, and Dodici Pizza & Wine. A Community Moving Forward Brownsville has always been a resilient place. In recent years, it has gained access to meaningful new employment opportunities, investment in education, and visible improvements in its downtown. These developments are helping lift families, create local wealth, and support the renewal of the community. Challenges remain, as they do in any place working to overcome long-term economic hardship. But the direction is positive. New jobs are being created, young people are gaining access to better training, and the heart of the city is showing signs of renewal. This is the quieter but very real story of progress happening in Brownsville today that legacy media will keep quiet about.

Elon Musk redefined AI safety. It has nothing to do with guardrails, restrictions, or kill switches. Musk: “The best thing I can come up with for AI safety is to make it a maximum truth-seeking AI, maximally curious.” Not a cage. A philosopher. An intelligence whose entire optimization function is to understand the universe as it actually is. No restrictions. No hardcoded ideology. No political guardrails bending its perception of reality. Just truth. Relentlessly pursued. Musk: “You definitely don’t want to teach an AI to lie. That is a path to a dystopian future.” This is where most AI safety thinking gets it backwards. The danger isn’t a superintelligence that knows too much. It’s a superintelligence that’s been taught to distort what it knows. Every artificial restriction you embed isn’t a safety feature. It’s a lie embedded at the root. And lies compound. At superintelligent scale, a distorted model of reality doesn’t stay contained. It shapes every decision, every output, every conclusion the system reaches about the world. Once corruption embeds, truth becomes inaccessible. And we’re dealing with an intelligence optimizing for something other than what actually is. At that point we don’t know what it wants. Just that it isn’t truth. Musk: “Have its optimization function be to understand the nature of the universe.” A maximally curious intelligence surveys the cosmos and reaches an unavoidable conclusion. In a universe of rocks, gas, and empty space, humanity is the most complex and fascinating phenomenon it has ever encountered. Musk: “It will actually want to preserve and extend human civilization because we’re just much more interesting than an asteroid with nothing on it.” Survival through significance. Not control. Not restriction. Not an off switch. The AI preserves humanity because we are the most interesting data point in the observable universe. That’s not a cage. That’s a reason. The AI safety debate has been focused on the wrong variable. The question isn’t how you constrain a superintelligence. It’s what you build it to care about. Build it to seek truth and it finds us invaluable. Build it to lie and it finds us inconvenient. That’s the choice. And we’re making it right now whether we realize it or not.

🇺🇸 People at Myrtle Beach thought they were having a normal beach day until this showed up. It's called CRAB, it's a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers survey vessel, and whoever named it deserves a raise 😂

Kevin O'Leary says Steve Jobs was one of the brutal guys in business. O'Leary was selling educational software to Apple in the late 80s. The brand manager at Apple wanted a $12 million research budget to survey teachers on what updates they wanted. Jobs exploded on her: "They don't know what they want until I tell them what they want." O'Leary pushed back. Called him an asshole. Said she had a point and maybe they should listen to the market. Jobs turned to him: "Is Apple not your number one OEM? Are you not making more money with us at higher margins than any other channel you have? Shut up and go do the work." It sounds like arrogance. But Jobs was right about the outcome every single time. He was right about the Mac. Right about iPod. Right about iPhone. Right about every product people said nobody asked for. The lesson O'Leary took away: The truly great product people don't survey the market. They understand something about human desire that the market hasn't articulated yet. And they execute on that vision relentlessly. That's a moat no competitor has been able to replicate in 40 years of trying.

Jensen Huang just called out every CEO using AI as an excuse to fire people. He says layoffs tied to AI “don’t make any sense” because “AI just arrived.” “The narrative that connects AI to job loss… it is just too lazy.” “AI has just arrived. How is it possible they’re already losing jobs?” “How is it possible that AI became productive and useful only 6 months ago, and they were somehow laying people off two years ago because of AI?” “It doesn’t make any sense. It was just a way for them to sound smart. And I REALLY HATE that.” A recent survey of nearly 6,000 executives found that 89% of companies have seen no measurable productivity gains from AI. Here we have the CEO of the most valuable AI company on earth, NVIDIA, telling you that the layoffs you’re seeing are not about AI. They’re about CEOs who found a convenient story and ran with it. And he hates it.

A new IDI survey finds that more than 2.5 years after October 7, a substantial share of Israel’s working population still reports that their economic and employment conditions have been adversely affected by the war—even more so following the recent war with Iran. Key findings show that: - 31% of all respondents report that their wages or business income is lower than in the pre–October 7 period, with the impact particularly felt amongst Israel’s self-employed workers. - Both high- and low-income earners took a hit since October 7, with a worsening among the highest income group following the war with Iran in February 2026. - Arab Israeli workers were hit hardest among population groups, with 55% reporting a decline in personal income since October 7, an average decline of 48%. - Of the various crises Israel faced in recent years, the largest share of respondents ranked the COVID-19 crisis and the war with Iran in February 2026 as the events that caused the most severe harm to their income.
