ELON MUSK: SpaceX took the team that dominates space and “applied that same team to the deployment of terrestrial compute.”

“This is a bit like the New York Yankees playing in little league. It’s not fair.”

SpaceX puts almost 90% of all mass into orbit. China is roughly 6%. The rest of the world combined, including the rest of the U.S., is about 4%.

That’s “an order of magnitude greater” than all its space competitors combined.

Now that team is deploying power, cooling, and infrastructure “vastly faster than anyone else, and may at some point be faster than everyone else combined.”

“Let that sink in for a minute.”

An X user fact checked my ‘unskilled labourers on Taxpayer funded sites in Victoria get double the pay of resident Doctors in Taxpayer funded hospitals on Sundays”. Truth is I’d already done this, I don’t post without checking, but I’m happy for anyone else to do it too. The @victorianlabor Government are controlled by the CFMEU, not the medical association, so the union get all the cash to go as slow as possible on worksites and sick honest Victorian’s have to go without proper care. There are so many brand new hospital wards empty in new Victorian Hospitals because the Labor/CFMEU coalition gouge so much taxpayer money during the hospital builds there’s none left to make any use of the new buildings to fulfill their purpose. How long as a state are we going to allow this to happen?
The new ‘integrity not optional’ Premier @BenCarrollMP is just lying his way through this election campaign, with every scare tactic under the sun again, so it leads me to believe that integrity will always be optional while @victorianlabor run Victoria.

Fact review
For 8 ordinary hours on a Sunday, first-year public hospital doctors get $517.42 while general unskilled labourers on the Suburban Rail Loop get $1,023.44 to $1,155.28 (including site allowance) — about twice to a bit over twice the doctor.

First-year doctor — Enterprise Agreement AE518015

Weekly base (first full pay period on/after 1 March 2025): $1,638.49 (HM11 Intern)
Ordinary hourly rate = weekly ÷ 38 = $43.1182/hour
Sunday ordinary hours: 150% (cl 37.2(a))
Calculation: $1,638.49 ÷ 38 × 1.5 × 8 = $517.42

SRL Unskilled TW1–TW4 — Enterprise Agreement AE532306
Sunday = double base (cls 39.7 / 44); site $11.15/hr all hours (PPC 1 July 2026)

TW1: $58.39 → $934.24 @ 2× + site = $1,023.44
TW2: $65.20 → $1,043.20 @ 2x + site = $1,132.40
TW3: $66.07 → $1,057.12 @ 2x + site = $1,146.32
TW4: $66.63 → $1,066.08 @ 2x + site = $1,155.28
