- Tim and John Shahi watched Starlink satellites from a backyard in Texas and thought they were being invaded by aliens.
- John Shahi joked about what brands aliens would align with if they landed.

- Building Tesla's Austin factory took less time than reaching high volume production, following Shanghai's model.
- Texas and California are competing, but Austin won't be cheap either, despite the rivalry.
