Elon Musk reveals money itself may vanish as a concept once AI and robots satisfy every human need. He says wealth was never the point. Labor allocation was. "Money is really an information system for labor allocation." "If there's no labor to allocate, it's meaningless." He even jokes a trillion dollars on a desert island is worthless because there's nothing to trade for. Once AI and robots do the work, what does money even track anymore? P.S.

Ray Dalio, who built the world's largest hedge fund, says buying a house might be the wrong move right now. The advice we all grew up with was buy a house, move in, pay the mortgage for 25 years. Dalio says that logic is backwards in this economy. "The ability to move capital matters. And if you look at history this has been an important consideration." "If you're nailing yourself down and that's your primary capital and it's nailed down there, then that's those limit your flexibility." He calls it the smart rabbit rule, three holes, three ways out, never one trap. Are you flexible, or are you nailed down? P.S.

Elon Musk says money will stop existing once AI and robots can make anything anyone wants. He says money is just a database for allocating labor. Once robots do all the labor, that database becomes pointless. "I think long term I think money disappears as a concept."

Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham reveals sperm counts are on track to hit zero by 2045. "In 20 to 25 years the average young couple will need help getting pregnant." He says hunter-gatherers had 118 million units per milliliter. Today the number is 35. "It means half the male population will have zero viable sperm and the remaining half will be right on the edge of functional infertility." He blames plastics and endocrine disruptors leaching into our bodies every single day. The World Health Organization already says 17 percent of young couples need help conceiving right now. P.S.

Billionaire investor Jeremy Grantham says investment advisers will never tell you to sell because it kills their business. He polled 400 stock market experts in 1999. Every single one agreed a return to normal pricing would guarantee a major bear market. Almost none thought it would happen. It happened anyway. The engine room analysts knew the truth. The marketing executives on stage with him did not want to hear it. "It is not good business for them to do that, and they will not ever say it to you." He calls it a betrayal of trust that repeats every cycle. • Goldman Sachs never said get out in 1929 • Same silence through the 1972 crash • Same silence through the 2000 tech bubble Your financial adviser gets paid whether you win or lose, so silence is always the safer business decision for them.

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on his plans for Ethan Nwaneri this season: "I don't know the plans, but certainly he opens your eyes in terms of how much a young player can evolve in such a short period. "Work and experience abroad come with certain difficulties and challenges - what you can really get out of that, and I think he's done it in a brilliant way. "It's unquestionable the talent, the desire, the love and the passion he has for the game. It's something that I always loved about Ethan. I think he had some great games and he's shown everybody that he has the ability to be here."

Jalen on KAT: "The narrative was placed on him by the outside world. You never really know a person until obviously you meet them face to face and you see what he says and what his actions are. And being the teammate that he is and seeing his sacrifices and seeing what he's done his entire career puts him in a position to become a hall of famer. And honestly I wouldn't trade that for the world. And the things that he's done has been extraordinary and not really sure how he's going to respond to me saying all these nice things about him but he's one hell of a basketball player but he's honestly a better teammate"

I've seen him with his family. I've seen him with a lot of his children. He's got a lot of children. He treats him good. He's He loves His children, but he's a brilliant guy, and he was a tremendous help, both in the campaign and in what he's done with DOGE. And you know what we're talking about, almost $200 million and rising fast, because many of the things that we were looking at are now being found out to be fact. It's terrible. I mean, the fraud, the waste, the abuse, the everything that's happened is just terrible. So I also know that he was treated very unfairly by the I guess he called the public, by some of the public, not by all of it. He makes an incredible car makes everything he does is good, but they took it out on Tesla, and I just thought it was so unfair, because he's trying to help the country, but he has helped the country. I also want him to make sure that he's going to be in great shape, and I know he is. I mean, he's going to be, he's going to do great he loves the country. He didn't need to do this. He did it, and I told him, I said, you know, whenever you're ready, I'd like to keep him for a long time, but whenever you're ready, he's an exceptional that when you see those rockets go up and come back and land in the same gantry, nobody else can do that, but this man. So he's just an incredible person, and he's a friend of mine, and he's a nice person too. He's a very nice person. He really helped the country. Saved us a lot of money. And I heard him say that he'll start easing which is always, he was always, at this time, going to ease out. And when he goes back to Tesla that will be taken care of, it was just, it's artificial. These were sick people that thought they were doing something. He really, he's a great patriot, and he should, really, it should be, it shouldn't be the way that should never have happened to him. And I will tell you right now, he makes a great product. He makes a great product. It's a great car. It's great everything. Starlink is great. What he does is good. He's doing medical things that are amazing. And we have to, at some point, let him go and do that."

Marc Andreessen says 2,000 American car companies launched in 10 years... but only 3 survived. Between 1900 and 1910, 2,000 American entrepreneurs tried to build cars. Three of them made it through. A century later, no new American car company had succeeded. Tucker Automotive was the last serious attempt. It was such a disaster that Hollywood made a movie about how it failed. Then a software entrepreneur from PayPal said he was going to make a car. Andreessen, watching at the time: "Obviously, you don't do that. Obviously, this is insane. And for a software guy to do this is insane." He says the level of incredulity Elon faced in 2008 was "almost uniform." Tesla shipped anyway. Andreessen's verdict on Elon's method since: "Obviously, it's working." The 2,000 founders before Elon had every advantage. They lived in the age of internal combustion. They were mechanical engineers. Elon was a software guy. He was the one who made it. If you're new here, GeniusThinking is a gallery for the greatest minds in economics, psychology, and history.

Marc Andreessen says Elon almost lit his entire $180 million fortune on fire with one decision. His friend tried to stop him. The friend (Andreessen thinks it was Adeo Ressi) sat Elon down before he started SpaceX. He showed him a compilation, pre-YouTube, of rockets blowing up over and over again. "You're literally going to light your fortune on fire." This was 2002. Elon had just sold PayPal. The $180 million he walked out with was everything he had left after taxes. He spent it on SpaceX anyway. The first three rockets exploded. The famous photo from this era shows Elon in shorts and a polo. He's crouched in front of the wreckage of the third rocket. Eric Berger documented the entire period in his book *Liftoff*. Andreessen's take: "Nothing good in the book. It's just reading one failure after another, and one catastrophe after another." Eventually the rockets started landing on their butt. Today, SpaceX builds its own city in Texas. Starlink came later, which is a side project at the rocket company. The friend who tried to save Elon's fortune was wrong about the rockets. But he was right about the fire. What "you're going to light your fortune on fire" warning have you ignored and were glad you did?

The friend (Andreessen thinks it was Adeo Ressi) sat Elon down before he started SpaceX. He showed him a compilation, pre-YouTube, of rockets blowing up over and over again. "You're literally going to light your fortune on fire." This was 2002. Elon had just sold PayPal. The $180 million he walked out with was everything he had left after taxes. He spent it on SpaceX anyway. The first three rockets exploded. The famous photo from this era shows Elon in shorts and a polo. He's crouched in front of the wreckage of the third rocket. Eric Berger documented the entire period in his book *Liftoff*. Andreessen's take: "Nothing good in the book. It's just reading one failure after another, and one catastrophe after another." Eventually the rockets started landing on their butt. Today, SpaceX builds its own city in Texas. Starlink came later, which is a side project at the rocket company. The friend who tried to save Elon's fortune was wrong about the rockets. But he was right about the fire. What "you're going to light your fortune on fire" warning have you ignored and were glad you did?

Martin Shkreli says running a hedge fund is the worst job in finance, that a newsletter doing $50 million of revenue beats almost every fund on the planet, and that people only take the job because it's the "sexiest thing" being master of the universe. "I have a friend who wants to start a hedge fund. I told him, this is the most painful, horrible business in the world. Why do this?" "If you start a newsletter business that makes $100 million a year, even $50 million a year of revenue, you've done better than almost every hedge fund on the planet." "You do not want to do this job." "And the reason people do it, and I did it too, and I would never do it again, is it's the sexiest thing in the world. You think you're the master of the universe..." "It's waking up at 3 a.m. checking Korean stock prices and waking back up at 6 wondering what's happening in the world."

Marc Andreessen says Sequoia's Mike Moritz passed on Tesla in 2008. Moritz had made his fortune at PayPal. He was one of the most successful investors of the modern era. Then Elon pitched him Tesla. Moritz passed. His reasoning, per Andreessen: "There's no way that you're ever going to surpass Toyota." In 2008, Toyota was the world's largest automaker. There had been no successful new American car company in 100 years. The last serious attempt, Tucker Automotive, became a Hollywood disaster movie. Moritz watched Tesla scale anyway. Andreessen says Moritz later admitted: "I drastically underestimated the guy's determination and pain tolerance." Andreessen's lens on this: "You can't clone him. You can't bottle the essence." Most people, Andreessen says, are one MilliElon — a thousandth of an Elon. The smartest investor in Silicon Valley couldn't measure that. What's the smartest "no" you've said that turned out wrong?

Michael Dell says he sat in a folding chair at 15 and watched Steve Jobs speak to a room of 30 hobbyists. Houston. Late 1970s. A local Apple user group met to compare souped-up computers and swap homemade software. Geeky teenagers and engineers in a community center. Dell was one of them. "Steve came to speak to our user group." Jobs was 25. Apple was the leading microcomputer company. Dell sat in the audience and listened to him use metaphors no one else in the room could match. He went home and did the math. "You'd also start hearing about Bill Gates, you know, who's also about the same age as Jobs. They're both about 10 years older than I am." A 15-year-old looked at the two most famous people in computing and saw something most kids his age would have missed. "You kind of look at them and go, well, okay, they did something cool. Maybe I've got a shot." Four years later he started Dell from a dorm room with $1,000. Forty-one years later Dell Technologies is worth over $100 billion. The shot was taken in a folding chair before anyone knew his name. P.S.

Musk says the simulation hypothesis is almost certainly true since 2016. And this is also why he renamed Twitter to X... Elon founded xAI on the mission of understanding the universe. He renamed Twitter to X in 2023, picking the only letter without an opposite. The thesis traces back to a Darwinian thought experiment. "Like in this version of reality, in this layer of reality, if a simulation is going in a boring direction, we stop spending effort on it." Boring simulations got cancelled. Interesting ones got renewed. Then, he said, the corollary appeared. "They particularly seem to like interesting outcomes that are ironic." The simulation, in Musk's frame, didn't just keep stories alive — it actively preferred the ones that flipped on themselves, the ones where the noun and the truth ran in opposite directions. He pointed at the names of AI companies and read them off one by one. - OpenAI is closed. - Midjourney is not mid. - Stability AI is unstable. - Anthropic is misanthropic. Four labs. Four nouns. Four ironic reversals. Each picked a name with a clean flip available. The simulation took every one. Musk, who had named X for that exact reason, dodged the trick. "It's a name that you can't invert, really. It's hard to say, what is the ironic version?" He called it an irony shield. No opposite. No mirror. No clean flip. Musk, on the bet underneath the joke: "It's, I think, a largely irony-proof name. By design." P.S.
