When is it appropriate to start planning for the inevitable Y10k bug?

So OpenAI spent $6M to solve a problem worth $1M and if that doesn't just perfectly sum up where we're at with AI I don't know what does.

gizmodo.com/elon-musk-no... The fact that anyone at all gives a shred of credence to Musk when he talks about a "universal high income" is laughable. Rest assured that if somehow Optimus was able to replace workers the only one to benefit would be Musk himself.

Ok, but who cares about that unfulfilled promise that inflated the valuation? We have several new unfulfilled promises to hang a fictional number on.

today Elon Musk will host SpaceX’s first earnings call as a publicly traded company and if you think he will be “grilled” by sell side analysts you have never listened to a TSLA call for 16 years

Twitter/X doesn't exist anymore, it's XAi, part of SpaceX and now a public company. I'm not sure what distinction you're trying to draw between Tesla as a "restricted public company" and SpaceX as "standard", but Musk has 80% voting power in SpaceX and board control. Am I arguing with a clawbot?

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

Funny enough Snowflake just announced that they were partnering with SpaceX to bring "their models" to the platform. They wouldn't even say "Grok", they just wanted that SpaceX halo. Can't wait to have some mecha-hitler antics with my enterprise data. youtu.be/NFTdHYp9uJo?...

Also, forgot to add, with the arbitration clause any investors that did want to make a fuss could be paid off individually in private.

Monk315 @monk315.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

because I think the 3% ownership threshold comes into play yes? I expect all the big investors will also be holding lots of TSLA and would be happy to overpay themselves.

Monk315 @monk315.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

The question becomes how high can he push the TSLA valuation and get away with it? With only 5% of SpaceX trading on the open market there's little risk of a shareholder lawsuit...

fortune.com/2026/06/04/n... Ok @montanaskeptic.bsky.social, I'm coming around to the idea that Musk intends to use the insane SpaceX valuation driven by just 5% IPO to purchase Tesla in an all stock deal later this year.

Has anyone asked Elon Musk how to handle the chemical leak in California yet? It's a long weekend and I need some laughs.

Monk315 @monk315.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

To be fair, they said exactly that... The valuation makes no sense and he's good at making people want to believe.

Monk315 @monk315.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

I don't know if it still does this but I used to enjoy when it would put a 2 week estimate on something, I'd tell it to get started, and 30 minutes later we were done. 😄

Monk315 @monk315.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

"SpaceX urged to adopt independent board, one-share-one-vote, and end mandatory arbitration" Hah, these would defeat the whole purpose of the IPO... All of that public capital, none of that pesky public control.

The massive capex financed by high yield debt and plowed into a rapidly depreciating asset is the most. Few understand.

Monk315 @monk315.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

How would Musk pull off the 8.5T valuation though? I admit, when I read the 2025 grant my first thought was they must have another angle because these operational milestones are bonkers... I'm not yet convinced this is the sleight of hand I'm waiting for though.

I've had that happen sometimes too. A couple of tips that might help - At some point the project gets large and complicated enough that adding robust logging code will help debug. If the AI is adding and removing a bunch of one off code it's time. Periodically refactor to keep code modular.
