Nekt0 (@Nekt_0) reportedElon Musk in 2007, after the PayPal exit: His test for starting a company was simple: if it succeeds, does it matter to the world? He had enough money to retire. Instead, he chose 3 problems: the internet, sustainable energy and making humanity multi-planetary. SpaceX was still trying to become a "trucking company" to orbit. Tesla was selling an expensive Roadster so cheaper electric cars could follow. At the time, rockets and EVs looked like two unrelated ways to burn money. The strategy was the same: prove the impossible version first, then make it scalable. Most founders start with a market and search for a mission afterward. Musk started with missions large enough to justify risking the money.

Long (@damthanlong) reportedIn December 2008, Elon Musk gave Tesla the last of the money he had left. The wire transfer cleared at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Had it been delayed by just a few more hours, Tesla's payroll checks would have bounced due to insufficient funds. Musk had sold PayPal in 2002 and walked away with roughly $180 million. Instead of doing what most people with $180 million would do, he poured nearly all of it into a rocket company and an electric car company—two industries where history had almost never seen outsiders succeed. Then came 2008, and the financial crisis began to consume what remained. By the end of that year, he reportedly had only a few hundred thousand dollars left and had to borrow money from friends to pay his rent. His marriage also fell apart that same year. Two companies. Both on the brink of running out of cash. In the very same month. The rockets had already failed. At the time, SpaceX had only one product: a small rocket called Falcon 1, and enough funding for just three launches. That was all the money they had. The first launch caught fire and crashed back toward the launch site. The second made it into the sky but lost control before reaching orbit. The third achieved perfect stage separation, but the spent first stage drifted back and lightly collided with the second stage—a timing issue with a newly developed engine—and the rocket was lost. Three launches. Three failures. Not a dollar left. Musk assembled a fourth rocket from the remaining spare parts and bet the last of his money on it. It launched on September 28, 2008, from a small island in the Pacific and successfully reached orbit. It became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to achieve that milestone. Musk later said those were literally the last funds the company had, and had the fourth launch failed, SpaceX would have shut down that very night. But that still wasn't enough to save Tesla. Tesla had been close to completing a $100 million funding round earlier that summer, but the banking system collapsed and credit markets froze. A tiny automotive startup trying to raise capital while even General Motors was nearing bankruptcy had almost no chance. The company was burning through cash, had not yet put a production vehicle into full-scale manufacturing, and was only days away from missing payroll. So Musk took over as CEO. He invested the last of his own money into Tesla. He persuaded existing investors to restructure the financing round into debt in order to get around an investor who was blocking the deal. The agreement closed at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Musk gave Tesla the last dollars he had, and later said that at the time he "didn't even own a house or anything else that could be sold." Just one day earlier, NASA had awarded SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. Musk later said he was so overwhelmed that he could barely hold his phone. Within 48 hours, both companies had been pulled back from the edge of collapse, during what was arguably the darkest period of his life. Today, people look at Musk and debate whether he's a genius. That genius was already there through all three failed launches, and it still wasn't enough to save him. What ultimately saved him was a decision he had made months earlier, when the money first started running out. He could have poured everything he had left into one company and let the other die. That would have been the rational move. Instead, he split his last dollars between both companies, knowing full well that doing so could cause him to lose them both. He later admitted that the experience nearly broke him mentally, and it could very easily have destroyed both companies at the same time. Most people would have given up after failing three times in a row. He paid for a fourth attempt. And this time... it worked.

Chrisncreation.inj 🥷 (@NwudeChris1) reportedTake Maya. She isn’t a crypto trader. She’s a graphic designer who just wants to send money to a developer in Tokyo without paying a $35 wire fee. Last year, a friend told her to try using a fast financial network. So she did. But the second she tried to move her funds, the screen hit her with a pop-up: “Please convert your ERC-20 token to the native chain using a cross-chain bridge.” Maya stared at her phone. Bridge? ERC-what? She closed the app and used Paypal. That’s the silent killer of crypto. We built incredible financial highways, but we locked the doors with confusing jargon, manual token conversions, and terrifying multi-step bridges. If you have to explain network standards to someone just so they can trade a token, you’ve already lost them. This week, two massive things happened for Injective ($INJ) that fix this exact problem. First, @coinbase finished migrating INJ entirely to its native network. No bridging, no wrapped tokens, no accidental burnt funds. You buy it, you withdraw it straight to where it actually runs. Second, $INJ went live on @RobinhoodApp . Because Robinhood and Coinbase are where everyday people, the Mayas of the world actually hang out. Instead of forcing millions of retail investors to jump through technical hoops, the friction was simply erased. @injective brought high-speed financial tools directly to the apps people already use. The future of crypto adoption isn't about teaching non-technical people how the machinery works. It’s about making the machinery invisible. When moving money on-chain feels as effortless as sending an email, that’s when real adoption happens. We’re finally getting closer to that world.

Startup Archive (@StartupArchive_) reportedPeter Thiel on what he doesn’t like about the Lean Startup Thiel believes there are merits to the Lean Startup, but he thinks founders today may have over-indexed on it: “I do think we tend to be dominated by a somewhat nihilistic bias where we claim not to know anything. And when you don’t know anything, you end up defaulting too much to the experimental search, A/B testing approach of ‘Let’s ask the customers.’ And I would say the problem with that is that the search space is simply way too big.” In practice, Thiel argues for a more definite view of the future: “This is an important problem that needs to be solved, and this is the set of things we have to combine in just this way to do it.” To be fair, Steve Blank—who pioneered the Lean Startup methodology—isn’t necessarily against this approach. Blank just recommends treating your assumptions as “a series of untested hypotheses.” But there’s clearly a balance between having a definite view of the future and rigorously trying to disprove your assumptions. As Thiel explains, many of the PayPal founding team’s initial assumptions were wrong: “At PayPal, our original business plan was to have payments on Palm Pilots, then it was wireless payments, then it was payments linked to email. So we had a few fairly big pivots in the first year. I’m not sure there’s anything especially virtuous about that — if you have a dumb idea, it’s important to change it — but it’s not virtuous to have a really bad idea in the first place.” Source: @OxfordSBS (May 2015)

𐡀 (@Xyleniqq) reportedI’ve been running a fake charity out of my garage for three years. It started as a joke because my neighbor kept asking me to buy Girl Scout cookies and I wanted to see if I could sell something stupid. I made up "Save the Left-Handed Ferrets." Made a basic website, printed some flyers. I actually sold $4,000 worth of merch. I felt so guilty I donated $4,000 of my own money to a real animal shelter. But then people kept donating. Now I have $18,000 in a PayPal account. I can’t spend it, but I also can’t give it back because I don’t know who gave it. I tried to shut it down but the website got hacked and now it’s asking for crypto. I’m 53 and I’m accidentally running a money laundering front for a fake animal charity. My wife thinks I’m just really into ferrets now.

Immortan_Subtard (@TheeJoeGlass) reported@SStricklandMMA I’m broke as ****. Probably get me for $1000. I would have no problem posting pro Israel content if they paid me $1000. I think that’s a fair deal. If anyone’s listening, I have PayPal and Cash app. For just a little bit of money, this becomes a Neil Diamond fan tribute page.
