Elon has become the first trillionare in history, but that is not what got me interested in the Space-X IPO. I feel like America is the only relevant nation at this point in history, when it comes to science, tech and even culture. No other country even comes close. I remember Leon writing a post about how america is a shit country and Europe is better. This is the link:

Europe seems to be doing ok with science and tech, at least on a per capita basis. Keep in mind also that the proportion of the people doing innovation and early adoption in science/tech who are loyal to the country they are working in is lower in the US than in other countries.

Modern Americans are the most completely useless scum who have ever lived. This is a dramatic change from the last century when Americans were the most productive people. The Space X IPO illustrates this beautifully. The IPO was based on a bullshit illusion of running AI servers in space, an idea that makes absolutely no sense. At least Space X has a core business involving real rockets, but there is no dramatic innovation here. Compare to America landing on the moon in 1969. Elon Musk himself is just skilled con-man who has created nothing. What a contrast to Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs. All of the Silicon Valley leaders today are just con-men, all useless. The Silicon Valley programmers are no better, producing horrible code. (I am a programmer myself.) Everything designed in America today is crap.

I am in Japan where everything is good and nothing is great. But greatness is extinct now, so that is the best I can find. The Europeans had their great age, but that is over and I think Europeans are finished with no more prospects of future productivity than black Africans have.
