After experiencing a series of operations such as the new energy electric car craze, landing on Mars, brain-computer interface and crazy milk bitcoin, the Silicon Valley Iron Man who is determined to change the world recently aimed at a new medical technology-mRNA technology. Previously, I worked with Mathias D, CEO of Axel Springer (the parent company of Business Insider), the largest digital publishing house in Europe. In a deep dialogue with pfner, Musk said frankly: "mRNA represents the future of medicine. Basically, you can use mRNA to treat everything. It is like a computer program, you can program it to perform any operation you need. You can even become a butterfly. "
Now that the whole world knows, he's not just talking. After all, he made it possible for new energy vehicles to replace fuel vehicles. Bitcoin replaced paper money as a commodity settlement tool for the first time, with the social software Clubhouse.
Today, I will take you to see what is in the shopping cart of Musk, the king of technology delivery. ...
New energy electric vehicles replace fuel vehicles.
In September 2020, Musk gave a speech at the 2020 shareholders' meeting in fremont, California. In his speech, there are two crucial main lines: first, he wants to realize the parity of the prices of new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles within three years, and the new model with the new battery of "biscuit box" is highly anticipated. Secondly, he wants to change the battery production mode within 10 years, that is, before 2030. It is estimated that the production and sales of new energy vehicles will exceed 6,543.8 billion, and fuel vehicles will be completely eliminated.
New energy vehicles are undoubtedly a blow to traditional fuel vehicles, and its replacement process may be long. However, if "national carbon neutrality, talk about the goal of peak carbon dioxide emissions" is superimposed, then the new energy era will probably come as quickly as wings.
Since September 2020, the government of China has announced to the international community that it will enhance the independent contribution of the country and adopt more effective policies and measures, and strive to achieve the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060.
These policy inclinations enable the rapid development of new energy vehicles. With the completion of Tesla Texas Super Factory, the output of new energy vehicles in 202 1 year is expected to reach 1 10,000 vehicles. Obviously, new energy is not just a tram, but an industrial chain from batteries and separators to anode and cathode materials, which means that its era is slowly beginning.
Sell 654.38+00 billion bitcoins.
On February 8 this year, Tesla announced in a document submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it would begin to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. According to the new policy, Musk invested a total of 654.38+05 billion US dollars (equivalent to 654.38+00 billion yuan) in Bitcoin.
As soon as the news came out, Bitcoin rose sharply in a short time and quickly climbed to the $40,000 mark. After that, the momentum continued unabated. Bitcoin rose 1 1% in the day to $43 172, and hit a record high. Tesla made a lot of money himself.
It is reported that the most important factor in investing heavily in Bitcoin is that the same people may invest in Bitcoin and Tesla. Musk himself realized his great energy in the virtual currency market, and even some market analysts compared Musk's influence on digital currency with that of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell on the US stock market.
Open a meeting place and redefine socialization.
Musk, everywhere you go, there is traffic.
1 February, Musk made a Silicon Valley app called Clubhouse instantly become the hottest app in the world. What Musk did was "open a room to chat".
At present, Clubhouse has become the hottest new social application in Silicon Valley, which is a social platform built around "embedded audio chat", where users can chat with strangers at will.
According to reports, the installation of Clubhouse is about 3.6 million times in the world, of which 165438+ 10,000 times occurred within 6 days after the launch of Musk.
MRNA technology leads the future medical technology trend
A few days ago, Musk accepted an exclusive interview with Business Insider, in which he revealed that one of the next major career directions is to pay attention to the huge medical potential behind mRNA vaccine and its technology. He said that the future of medicine is mRNA, which can basically be used to cure all diseases.
MRNA, a biotechnology, can be said to have ushered in a highlight moment in this epidemic. Moderna, the first two companies to introduce COVID-19 vaccine, and BioNTech, which cooperated with Fosun Pharma, both adopted mRNA technology for development.
Although the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine sounds strange, it is by no means a new unknown technology. For decades, researchers have been developing mRNA vaccines for various diseases.
CDC said that in the past decade, mRNA vaccine has been studied as a preventive vaccine against other emerging infectious diseases, such as influenza, Zika virus, rabies and cytomegalovirus (CMV). In this epidemic, scientists began to design mRNA instructions based on the important information (genome sequence) obtained from Neocoronary Pneumonia, so that cells can construct a unique spike protein into an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
Recently, the World Winners Association (WLA) released its annual report to the world for the first time. The report covers 24 scientific hotspots, and the mRNA vaccine naturally becomes one of the focuses of the report.
At the same time, three Nobel Prize winners also highly affirmed the rapidity and efficiency of mRNA vaccine technology.
20 13 Randy, winner of the nobel prize in physiology or medicine? Randy schekman said that the epidemic has unleashed bioscience forces around the world, including mRNA technology, to design vaccines to stop the spread of deadly viruses.
1987 Jean-Marie, winner of the nobel prize in chemistry? Jean-Marie Lehn emphasized that the development of mRNA vaccine is the most important breakthrough to deal with the epidemic.
Avram, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? Avram hershko pointed out that although the rapid and efficient development of COVID-19 vaccine based on RNA technology is widely praised at present, people do not realize that it has a wider therapeutic potential for mRNA technology.
Judging from the vaccines that have been approved for marketing or emergency use in different regions, BioNTech/ Fosun's mRNA vaccine BNT16B2 is ahead, with an effective rate of 95%, and the effective rate of mRNA- 1273 developed by American Moderna Company is 94. 1%.
At present, Britain, the United States, the European Union and Israel have started to inoculate BNT16B2.
According to Washington post's statistics, on February 6th, nearly 2 million doses of vaccine were inoculated in the United States, making the average daily vaccination amount in the United States reach 6.5438+0.4 million doses, which is close to the goal of 6.5438+0.5 million doses set by Biden at the beginning of his administration.
Up to now, 44 million people in the United States have received at least one dose of vaccine, and about 53% of Israeli citizens have received at least one dose of vaccine. Israel plans to cover 60% of the population in the next three months.
BNT16B2 is also being introduced into China, and BioNTech's partner Fosun Pharma is conducting clinical bridging trials in China. It is worth mentioning that at present, Hong Kong has approved its emergency use in Hong Kong, and I believe that the day when mRNA vaccine will benefit Chinese people is just around the corner.
According to researchers, besides vaccines, we can also use mRNA technology to create a new class of drugs to treat cystic fibrosis, heart disease, rare genetic diseases and even some cancers. Now, scientists and researchers are seeking to use mRNA technology to achieve a more ambitious goal: treating chronic diseases. In the future, mRNA technology may allow a vaccine to prevent many diseases, thus reducing the number of injections needed to prevent common diseases.
Will mRNA technology subvert the medical industry and even bring great changes to the whole biotechnology field in the future, as predicted by Musk? Let's wait and see.
