This is not AI. 🤣
Jensen Huang once took money from a fan, signed it, and said, “I’m not going to give it back to you.”
Then he turned and gave it to the girl behind.
Elon Musk has a track record of calling hard problems early.
In a February 2026 interview, he warned: “Those who have lived in software land don’t realize they’re about to have a hard lesson in hardware.”
By late August, SpaceX confirmed it was bringing the casting of gas-turbine blades and vanes in-house — the single biggest bottleneck for new natural-gas power plants needed to feed AI data centers. Musk said the move could bring turbines online up to 18 months faster.
Today he put it even more bluntly: SpaceX has “a super cracked team that is outperforming the rest of the world by an order of magnitude in mass to orbit — and even we find it very difficult.”
Hardware doesn’t care about demos, funding rounds, or slide decks. The teams that actually build the hard stuff keep winning.
What a legend.
It’s not that supercomputer data centers are not in high demand, as they definitely are. However, getting money to build complex hardware systems with massive power, cooling & networking is not the same as doing it.
SpaceX has a super cracked team that is outperforming the rest of the world by an order of magnitude in mass to orbit and even we find it very difficult!
@sama We start flying them next year. Maybe you can come see them if your parole officer approves.
After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of Apple’s phone technology! Wow.
What do you plan for an encore? That’s tough to beat.
Former SpaceX Head of Talent : I think Elon is smarter than Einstein.
"One way we explained the SpaceX culture, in order to be honest with people, was this:
SpaceX is like special forces. We take on missions that others consider impossible. This will be the hardest thing you ever do in your life.
It attracts the kind of personality that wants to be a Navy SEAL, but in engineering. It will be bruising, punishing, and uncomfortable every day.
Growth is not comfortable. If you are comfortable, you are probably not growing. To work for Elon is to be comfortable living in a constant state of discomfort.
He has 10,000 times more going through his brain than the average person at any given moment. Our ability to think about and analyze a problem is nothing compared to how his brain works.
Elon aspires to be the greatest engineer in the history of the world. He has the cognitive horsepower of the geniuses who came before us.
But he is not Einstein, is he?
I think he is smarter than Einstein."
Elon Musk started Zip2 in 1995 with almost nothing, sleeping in the office and coding through the nights.
Now he's projected to become the world’s first trillionaire in 2026.
The ultimate American dream.
