Moonshot✨ Elon Launches a Genetics Company: xGen 🧬
from HyperChange · host Gali
Elon Musk has often mentioned the potential of mRNA as the "future of medicine" and how he has often thought about the potential of a genetics company harnessing this technology to cure diseases. So in this episode of Moonshot Monday I have a conversation with Ryan Tanaka of Neurapod about what Elon's genetic startup would actually look like. Why he'd launch one (colonize mars, cure diseases), how it would happen, and what its potential would be. This is super speculative, and I'm curious what your thoughts are... do you think Elon Musk will start a genetics/mRNA company????Huge shoutout to Ryan Tanaka for coming on the show follow him on X here: https://x.com/RyanTanaka3OR here's his podcast Neurapod: / neurapod 0:00 Intro: Dire Wolfs & Wooly Mammoths1:27 Why It’s Inevitable for Elon Musk to launch a genetics company3:41 ‘Nuke Mars’: Humans may need gene editing to thrive on Mars7:23 IVF & New methods of human reproduction8:38 What will Elon’s new genetics startup look like?11:01 Tesla’s mRNA microfactories during COVID15:52 Neuralink + changing DNA has insane potential to change our biology19:56 How Elon will launch the xGen companyMy X: / gfilche HyperChange Patreon :) / hyperchange
