In 2008, Elon Musk faced a decision that would have broken most people Two companies he had poured his heart, soul, and everything he had into were on the brink of collapse. He had just $30 to $40 million left, and saving one meant risking the life of the other He was forced to confront an almost impossible question: Which of the two dreams he had sacrificed so much to build was he willing to let die? His answer was neither Even if it meant risking everything he had left Tesla and SpaceX were both fighting for survival, and he had to make one of the hardest choices of his life "I had two choices. I could put it all into one company, and then the other company would definitely die. Or split it between the two companies. But if I split it between the two companies, then both might die" Then Elon said something that tells you everything about how much these companies meant to him: "When you put your blood, sweat, and tears into creating something or building something, it's like a child. And so it's like which one am I gonna let starve to death? I couldn't bring myself to do it" He split the money between both companies, knowing he was risking losing everything "Fortunately, thank goodness, they both came through" Nearly two decades later, Tesla has transformed the electric vehicle industry, and SpaceX has revolutionized spaceflight Two companies that were on the brink of collapse went on to change the world All because Elon Musk couldn't bring himself to let either one starve

this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now. it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them the last 6 months alone: - a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months) - a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months - a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year - a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3 - retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3 - an ai-designed drug entered phase 3 - a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3 - an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved - a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney - human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday stick around, it's going to get weird bio/acc
