Captain Eli(@TheCaptainEli):Elon’s products don’t iterate in small steps. They leap. Prufrock-5 just finished a test tunnel in Bastrop. The machine relaunches in November. Same pattern across every company: Tesla — each generation cheaper, safer, and more capable than the last. Starship — from exploding prototypes to catching boosters and putting mass on orbit. Starlink — from a handful of sats to high-speed internet on commercial flights. Grok, Optimus, Neuralink — every version makes the previous one look unfinished. They don’t protect yesterday’s product. They ship the one that replaces it. That’s the compounding advantage no one else matches.
