@Joe__Wakefield @austinbarnard45 @tjq1190 @tyger_cyber @fawfulfan @_Mikemo This is a pretty awful lie. I left South Africa by myself when I was 17 with just a backpack & suitcase of books. Worked on my Mom’s cousin’s farm in Saskatchewan & a lumber mill in Vancouver. Went to Queens Univ with scholarship & debt, then same to UPenn/Wharton & Stanford.

@austinbarnard45 @tjq1190 @tyger_cyber @fawfulfan @_Mikemo This person blocked me, so can’t read the tweet. Whats their deal?

@IrinaAntony @tjq1190 @tyger_cyber @fawfulfan @_Mikemo We started Zip2 with ~$2k from me plus my overclocked home-built PC, ~$5k from my bro & ~$8k from Greg Kouri (such a good guy — he is greatly missed). My Dad provided 10% of a ~$200k angel funding round much later, but by then risk was reduced & round would’ve happened anyway.

@tjq1190 @tyger_cyber @fawfulfan @_Mikemo He didn’t own an emerald mine & I worked my way through college, ending up ~$100k in student debt. I couldn’t even afford a 2nd PC at Zip2, so programmed at night & website only worked during day. Where is this bs coming from?

@geofficient Pretty much

@annerajb @justpaulinelol Federal

@justpaulinelol @annerajb Probably 2021. Depends on regulatory approvals.

@annerajb Hopefully working in Caribbean by end of 2020. Def by 2021.

@waitbutwhy @Kurz_Gesagt Maximizing conversion of mass to aimed photons (pure momentum) is actually the highest possible efficiency, which is why an antimatter drive is probably the best way to get to other star systems with known physics. For “close” stars, a laser sail is good too.

@TheAssassin_95 Yes, but it’s too secret

@Erdayastronaut @teslaownersSV @Benioff Hopefully fully operational in 2020

@teslaownersSV @Benioff Boring Co is completing its first commercial tunnel in Vegas, going from Convention Center to Strip, then will work on other projects

@flcnhvy No, he’s still much faster 🐌

These would be road tunnels for zero emissions vehicles only — no toxic fumes is the key. Really, just an underground road, but limited to EVs (from all auto companies). This is not in place of other solutions, eg light rail, but supplemental to them.

@teslaownersSV Done by dawn

@Salo4201 That would be a fringe benefit 🤣🤣

Build super safe, Earthquake-proof tunnels under cities to solve traffic

@JaneidyEve Flight is hopefully 2 to 3 months away

@JaneidyEve We’re now building flight design of Starship SN1, but each SN will have at least minor improvements, at least through SN20 or so of Starship V1.0.
