🚀 JEFF BEZOS: “THE FUTURE IS LOOKING UP — LITERALLY” — Forget the doom and gloom about AI ending civilization. Jeff Bezos says the next 20 years will be the best in human history — an age of “civilizational abundance” where robots do the hard work, people live in space, and the average workweek might last… two days.
—> 🌕 LIFE BEYOND EARTH: By 2045, Bezos predicts millions of people will be living off-world — not because they have to, but because they want to. Machines, not astronauts, will handle lunar labor and heavy lifting. “If you need to do work on the surface of the moon,” Bezos said, “we’ll send robots.”
—> 🤖 AI ISN’T THE ENEMY: While others warn AI could destroy jobs or humanity, Bezos sees it as the next plow, the next printing press — a tool that will make everyone richer and freer. “Civilizational abundance comes from our inventions,” he told the crowd at Italian Tech Week 2025.
—> 🪐 SPACE RACE 2.0: Bezos isn’t alone. Elon Musk wants humans on Mars by 2028. Sam Altman says the hottest jobs in the galaxy will soon be in orbit. Even Bill Gates — who’s staying Earthside — admits that AI could soon make the two-day workweek a reality.
💫 Whether you’re Earthbound or space-curious, Bezos says the message is clear: don’t be afraid of the future — build it.

ENERGY
WHY ELON MUSK ISN’T USING BITCOIN AT TESLA YET: Bitcoin is like pretend money you use on computers. Elon Musk, the Tesla car guy, said he’d let people buy cars with Bitcoin only if it’s made with “clean” energy, like from sun or wind. A new report says 52% of Bitcoin’s energy is clean, beating Elon’s 50% goal. But Tesla still says no to Bitcoin. Why?
—> WAIT, ELON IS A GREENIE? Making Bitcoin takes tons of power, like charging a zillion video games. Elon wants that power to be Earth-friendly, not from yucky coal. The report says 42% comes from sun, wind, or water, and 10% from other safe stuff. But Elon might only count sun and wind, and the report only checked some Bitcoin makers.
—> WHY IS TESLA WAITING? Elon wants proof the clean energy will last…. Bitcoin’s value jumps up and down, which makes selling cars tricky… Tesla’s fans love green things and might get mad if Bitcoin backs off… Setting up Bitcoin for car sales is super hard work.

ROBOTS
FIGURE AI’S CEO SAYS ROBOTS COULD BE A NEW SPECIES! Brett Adcock, boss of Figure AI, says his company isn’t just making robots—they’re building a new kind of creature! At a big tech conference, he told Salesforce’s Marc Benioff that robots might soon copy themselves, share knowledge, and even mine space stuff like methane on other planets. Sounds like sci-fi, right?
—> WAIT, ROBOTS MAKING MORE ROBOTS? Adcock dreams of robots that build themselves and travel the galaxy, like in a cool book called We Are Legion (We Are Bob). He thinks this could happen while we’re alive! OpenAI, which gave Figure AI $5 million, agrees robots will soon feel super sci-fi.
—> WHO ELSE IS IN THE RACE? Tesla’s Elon Musk is making a humanoid robot called Optimus, set to launch by 2026. But some say robots don’t need legs—Diligent Robotics’ wheeled Moxi helps hospitals without looking human. Figure’s new Figure 03 robot does chores, but it’s not for sale yet.
