Musk's Early Investor: What the Next 3 Years Actually Look Like | Steve Jurvetson

Episode notes

Steve Jurvetson has worked with Elon Musk for 29 years and was one of the earliest investors in SpaceX and Tesla, back when space wasn't even a category for venture capital. Today he runs Future Ventures, where he bets on nuclear fusion, epigenetic editing, and analog AI chips. We recorded this live on stage, with audience Q&A at the end. We cover: Why compute has compounded for 130 years, and what that curve says about the next 3 years Superintelligence odds: why Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark gives it a 30% chance of arriving next year What 29 years next to Elon taught Steve: focus, learning loops, and spotting talent (Tesla collects more AI training data in 4 days than Waymo has in its entire history) The 50-year question Steve asks every founder before writing a check His 30-day plan if you're one person with a crazy idea Where he's investing now: fusion, meat without slaughter, free healthcare via your phone When machines do everything, what's left for us Links:
