Elon Musk is a highly intelligent man. He knows humanity cannot become a Kardeshev Type I (and certainly not a Kardeshev Type II) species under a high time preference fiat monetary system. A low time preference sound money system is required. Elon is thinking about the next 100, 500, and 1000+ years. He knows there is only one money that will enable humanity to reach its full potential both today and long after he is gone: Bitcoin. Gold won't work as money for a spacefaring people for many obvious reasons, not least of which is the fact that gold is extremely plentiful in space. Additionally, gold failed as money for humanity when we were earthbound. Gold is extremely useful, but it is bad money compared to bitcoin. Gold was money for humanity's low-tech epoch. Bitcoin is money for humanity's high-tech epoch. Gold is the past, fiat is an unfortunate blip in the present, and Bitcoin is the future. Elon is one of the smartest people on the planet. He knows this. He knows Bitcoin is absolutely finite. 21M forever. He is the richest man in the world. He wants to preserve that wealth for many generations to ensure his dreams become reality long after he is gone. Gold and fiat do not allow this. But with Bitcoin, he can create time-locked vaults in cyberspace that open after specific amounts of time have passed. This ensures his companies/initiatives/descendants will always be extremely well funded, but will not be able to simply waste all his wealth as soon as he is gone. We know both Elon and his companies own bitcoin, but lately people are wondering why he never publicly talks about it. In fact, he almost seems to deliberately avoid opportunities to talk about bitcoin... Why? Because Elon knows this is a race, and the winners of this race will cement their economic power for generations. Elon knows that, as the man with the biggest megaphone in the world, if he comes out with a full throated endorsement of bitcoin, then the race accelerates exponentially... Elon wants to take humanity to the stars. This is only possible with Bitcoin because Bitcoin makes long-term thinking possible on a planetary (and interplanetary) scale. Bitcoin fixes the broken incentives of the fiat system which mortgage humanity's future to fund its decadent present. Elon is going to acquire as much bitcoin as he possibly can to ensure his vision for the future of humanity as a spacefaring species is realized. tl;dr -- you should not be suprised if it turns out that Elon has been quietly stacking an insane amount of bitcoin.

Search all the great useful products and services Elon Musk has created and then tell me what other human being has been just as prolific. You expect perfection and continually forage for flaws. He is the only person I know that says what he thinks and does what he wants. And we're lucky that he wants Grok to be truthful. A reflection of himself. I celebrate the man - especially for what he brings to the crippled. And a future for the blind. He's human. He proves that every day. My one concern - the everything app - supported by data collection. I'm willing to follow his endeavors, because he definitely makes the world a better place.

Elon is a fucking parasite sucking wealth from honest, productive Americans. He wants to form a dystopia of mass surveillance, UBI and all the same Klaus Shwab WEF bullshit. Not only that but he is a clown and I don't even think he is as smart as most people think. Starlink is cool, no one is going to argue against that, but so what? If I could access almost unlimited government funding, I would hire the best engineers in the world and I could make a bunch of cool shit. I hope if he buys bitcoin he never self-custody and ends up losing it all for being a sucker. GN frens View quoted note →

brother c’mon! He is not the richest man in the world, we all know that. Much less the smartest... Did he really think he was going to lower the U.S. deficit? Really? or did he just this year discover how the monetary system works from which he benefits enormously? It's a fucking show, and he's part of it.

Elon Musk is just a guy who was born with money and used the money to invest in companies that other people started. We live in the age of information, you have no excuse for being so ignorant and worshipping someone like Elon. Guy has not contributed a single positive thing to humanity.
Elon, Elon, Elon... Anyone thinking that you can be one of the wealthiest in the world (in terms of stock-exchange listed assets) and have such partners/shareholders in your companies and be someone who does not bend the knee to the system is grossly mistaken. As soon as he says or does something slightly unconventional or which threatens the "system" someone like Larry Fink gently whispers in his ear and brings him back to his senses. By the "System" I mean the following:

 He may well like #bitcoin, like we all do and also Larry Fink does. Though for very diverse reasons. We, want to change the system, be free and protect our wealth. He and Fink have different reasons. Regardless do not expect anything from Musk as you should not expect anything from Fink or Trump. They thrive in the fiat world of unlimited credit creation. How can they want to change that? What are their incentives? #bitcoin only can force a change of incentives, slowly, by growing adoption. @gladstein Trojan Horse's theory is right. And whoever adopts #bitcoin, for whatever reasons, is welcome and accelerates the transition. We shall concentrate ONLY in doing our part, stacking, holding our keys and running our nodes. And always keep in mind how the predatory "system" works, what are the incentives and who benefits.

There is some truth to it. The conquest of space can only be driven by men and machines thirsty for capsules of energy and time. Just as sailors conquered new continents with promises of gold, Bitcoin will be the interplanetary—and perhaps temporal—pass. The reversal of the natural aging process, call it death, or techniques like cryogenics or time leaps, will only be accompanied by capsules of Bitcoin, time, and energy. It will be futile to sleep for 100 years, even if you have 100 million in your bank account. You will be cryogenized in Bitcoin, you will awaken in Bitcoin. Astronauts will travel in Bitcoin. You will die, but your race will endure in Bitcoin. You will be remembered eternally because you left time and energy for future generations, under certain conditions that represent your person, your ethics, and your civilization.
I have a 10 flight to London coming up and I want to be unconscious for the entire time. The thought of space travel sounds like absolute torture. Maybe humanoid robots will be the evolution of humanity, no need for the meat tubes. Waste of resources to send humans when a robot doesn’t need food, water, rest, climate control, medical, rescue,
