Jawwwn @jawwwn_Peter Thiel on the importance of how you name your company: “I believe very strongly that the names of companies are often very predictive of future failure or success.” “PayPal was a very friendly name—it was the friend that helps you pay.” “Napster was a bad name—you nap some music, you nap a kid… that sounds like a bad thing to be doing, and it's no wonder the government then comes in and shuts the company down within a few years.” “You want to be very careful how you name companies.” “I like Airbnb way more than Uber. Airbnb sounds like this very innocent, virtual bread & breakfast—a very light, non-threatening company. Uber—that sounds like a bad name from Germany sometime in the 1930s. What are you exactly above? The law?” “Facebook was a very good name. MySpace was a more problematic name.” “Facebook was about learning about people around you, about the real identities at Harvard. MySpace started among the actors in LA. It was about coming up with fictional narratives around themselves.” “There's a certain version where the whole arc of the company—the whole product arc—was implicit in the names.” @tylercowen asked Thiel what he thinks about the name “United States”: “I'd be sympathetic to the 19th-century spelling where the U was lowercase.” Via @mercatus
Ryan Zurrer @kukulabanzeI’m trying an experiment similar to @zxocw’s living off of Bitcoin in 2013. I am converting as much of my life, family and business to run on @SpaceX (incl @Tesla) as possible. Looking for feedback on the evolving list which includes some predictions on forthcoming products: Home & office internet: @Starlink Everyday transport: @Tesla Model X Weekend transport: Roadster Foundation model: @grok (with decentralized inference from next-gen Megapack by 2028) Boat/Plane: I predict an autonomous electric yacht and business jet by 2035. Phone: @Tesla edge node device will replace iPhone by 2029. Home energy: Powerwall with solar on roof from @Tesla. Corporate: @Dialectic_Group runs on a substrate of coordinated @bot swarms already. Bank account: @XMoney Investments: Literally just buy $SPCX & outperform.🤷♂️ Social media, news & education: @X Intercontinental travel: Starport city-to-city by 2033. @robotaxi in most cities by 2029. @Tesla_Optimus robots for help around the house, farm, kids, cooking, cleaning, looking after animals, etc. This one is the big unlock. Expect to have a few by 2028. My thesis is that there are massive synergies and opportunities that arise from the convergence of these technologies under a unified company that allow for a truly optimized life. The $SPCX acquisition of $TSLA is fundamental for such an experiment.
