I remember watching this interview when I was 10. It was the first time I heard of
@elonmusk
, and the first time I heard of Tesla.
15 years later, I work for Elon, and I own a Tesla. Crazy how life happens.
I dropped out of college last year because I wanted to spend more time working on side projects at X. It's been an extremely rewarding decision, but I feel embarrassed about not having a degree.
Should I go back to school or should I keep working on projects at X?
If you haven't posted on X in over 10 years I should be able to take your handle. I read about it in school its called imminent domain and its like a law or something
Here is a quick tip:
Stop replying to big creators with the same generic response as soon as they post. Take the time to write something that is funny/engaging. Quality comments will always rise above.
I visited HQ this week and I while I was working much longer days than normal, it didn’t feel like it. Maybe I’m naive, but I thought it was pretty exciting to be in the office at night.
Competition is good. We are trying to be the best app. If that forces other companies to try harder, it will result in an overall net positive for everyone.
I visited my extended family in rural Minnesota for the holidays, and everyone there was an EV skeptic/anti-Tesla. I convinced them to go for a ride and I showed them the FSD and 0-60.
Now they all want a Tesla.
Today marks one year at X. It’s been amazing. X has changed my life. I am eternally grateful to those who took a chance on me and I want to thank every single person who is reading this because I wouldn’t be here without you.
Keep an eye out for my 10 year anniversary post.
I feel like a lot of people don’t realize how quickly Twitter improves, especially when compared to other social media platforms. This app gets exponentially better everyday.
Literally everyone at X is brilliant and it makes me feel dumb sometimes but that's way better than being surrounded by people who make you feel smart imo
YouTube is good. X will be better.
Twitch is good. X will be better.
Reddit is good. X will be better.
Venmo is good. X will be better.
_____ is great. X will be better.
I once went into a bathroom and the guy in the urinal next to me was drinking a Mountain Dew while peeing and he said “out with the old and in with the Dew” and I still haven’t fully recovered
