Elon Musk issues big DOGE adoption reminder
On Saturday, tech entrepreneur and the world’s richest man Elon Musk made a comment about the potential founding of The Texas Institute of Technology and Science, jokingly referred to as TITS. Elon Musk shared an idea that he would like to create such an institution in 2021.
He pointed out that tuition payments would be accepted in Dogecoin and dog owners would get discounts. This weekend, Katherine Boyle, who is a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, tweeted that it is a good idea to start creating this institution now.
It should, she believes, be similar to great military leadership academies: “1000 of our best and brightest American engineers, selected based on test scores, PSAT, and raw technical ability, with a fast track into the greatest manufacturing and engineering companies in the country on the other side of graduation.”
Elon Musk commented on that tweet, agreeing and saying that perhaps the time has truly come to do that.
