Elon Musk Is Building the Largest Factory on Earth

Kind: captions Language: en Elon Musk plans to break ground on a 100 million square foot mega factory in Grimes County, Texas. At Elon Musk, Terafab Texas will be the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far, and it will be stunningly beautiful. In April, we broke ground on our research fab on the north campus of Giga Texas, the precursor to Terafab. Both Tesla and SpaceX will need far more chips than current and future global production can supply. This is why we're building the largest [music] chip manufacturing facility ever with the goal of producing over 1 terawatt of compute per year. The future is built in Texas. Elon Musk reveals what happens when a rocket launch needs approval from Fish and Wildlife. Elon, nonetheless, we were forced to kidnap a seal, strap it to a board, put headphones on the seal, and play sonic boom sounds to it to see if it would be distressed. This is an actual thing. This is actually real. I have pictures. >> [laughter] >> The amazing part is how calm the seal was because if I was a seal, I'd be like, "This is the end. They're definitely going to eat me." New post, Terafab looks more like a sci-fi city than a chip factory. Elon, sci-fi city is what we're aiming for. At Arthur MacWaters, Milton Friedman said we can't have free immigration and a welfare state. He was wrong. Turns out that if you create pathways for illegal immigrants to vote, then actually, 100% of the time, you inevitably end up with both a welfare state and free immigration because incentives determine actions. Whichever politicians realize they can essentially use taxpayer dollars to fund welfare to import voters will exploit this hack ruthlessly. One, offer welfare. Two, allow illegal immigration. Three, let illegal immigrants vote. They will 100% of the time vote for more welfare. Four, win office. Five, raise taxes, offer more welfare. Repeat, it's a self-reinforcing feedback loop. Allowing illegal immigrants to count in the census and vote cements this loop. Literally, only 12 states require proof of citizenship to register to vote. Look it up. It's horrifying. That is why 15 million illegal immigrants came across the border in 4 years. It is game theory, the only smart thing to do. This ends in disaster. Elon responds, this is what is happening. Don't pursue money, make useful products and money will come as a consequence. A simple philosophy that has shaped some of the world's most ambitious companies at Rothmus. So, here's how America ended up with Ilhan Omar and leering centers. The rebels in Somalia overthrew the Marxist dictator in January 1991, and then they started killing each other over who got to rule next. General Mohamed Farrah Aidid and Ali Mahdi Mohamed both claimed the presidency. And then from November 1991 to March 1992, the two sides slaughtered an estimated 14,000 people in Mogadishu, the capital, alone. The clans united to remove Barre, but they failed to replace him with anything functional. And so, Somalia has been a failed state for 35 years and [music] Minnesota has welfare fraud. Elon responds, using Grok, true. X freeze at X freeze, humanity is about to step into another world for the first time and Starship is taking us there. Amazing times ahead, Elon responds. Yes, Andrew Cote. The critical density of the universe is the average density at which space-time is flat. It just so happens that a black hole the size of the observable universe has exactly the same density as the critical density for a universe with flat space-time. Another coincidence is that as far as we can tell a black hole is the computationally most dense object possible, the ultimate computer. Now we look out and say, "Gee whiz, I don't see many Dyson spheres. We must be the only intelligent species because obviously surrounding a star with solar panels is the best possible way of creating a supercomputer." This is obviously. A black hole is not just the ultimate computer, but the ultimate heat engine, something that converts mass directly to energy via Hawking radiation. Face it. We are late to the game. Most of the stars that will ever form have already formed. There are civilizations billions of years older than us engineering mega-structures that look like active galactic nuclei, quasars, etc. Almost all the entropy in the universe is inside black holes on the far side of an event horizon. The galaxy is absolutely littered with black holes, supercomputers, new universes inside expanding regions of flat space-time that originate at a singular beginning, just like our universe. You live in a computer. Elon responds. You're right, but one step at a time. Next step is extending consciousness permanently beyond Earth, ideally during this civilizational upcycle rather than than some far future one.
