it's always nice to see Elon check on how his AI Lex is doing

“Young boys who don’t know each other killing each other on behalf of old men who do know each other, what the hell is the point of that?” One of the best statements of war I’ve ever heard.

As a father of 3 little children, Elons last statement about how you relive joys through your children as they experience the world for the first time really hit home. I never really thought about it but it's so true. As a 39 year old, Disneyland is far from interesting but going with my 4 and 2 year old daughters was so incredibly fun. Their joy is your joy. It's beautiful.

Lex, thank you for sincerely asking Elon on his well-being. I hope you are doing well too.

Your editor is doing an awesome job putting in slides and screenshots here and there! Kudos

I am a Veteran of US Air Force and US Army. Fought in Desert Storm. War is nothing to take lightly but our “leaders” feel differently. If they actually had to fight the war, I’m sure that they’re attitude would change, however

We are the Aliens acting like there are no aliens while disguised as humans.

Engaging intros are vital for Shorts success
