Elon (
@elonmusk

The Twitter API v2 endpoints break every day
Here are the issues:
- Apps constantly get detached from projects and thus revoke access to data
- Users need to reauthorize applications
- GET followers/following is broken

Too many people start boring businesses to get rich, so then they can work on a more ambitious thing later. This doesn’t work. Once you’re rich, most lose that burning desire. Just do what you actually wanna do.

If you’re in SF and your lifestyle isn’t absolutely focused on producing shareholder value then I’d consider living in a more fun or comfortable city like NYC

My biggest trajectory changing moment was taking acid for the first time at 21
It cured me of a 7-year battle w depression & crippling pessimism

I attribute my life to that one day

I beat the heart condition
I lost all the body fat
Now I'm going to get ripped
109 days on Blueprint (revised)
- 185 to 177 pounds
- Added meat
- Added a fast & 2x calorie day
- Daily pushups + abs
The shreds are coming in. More definition of abs & chest. Still no weight training, but hopefully that changes in 2 weeks.
