   3. Starlink is providing free internet access to folks in North Carolina and Tennessee affected by Helene.

   4. Starlink is providing free internet access to folks in Ukraine.

   5. Neuralink may one day allow the blind to see, and the paralyzed to move. See also OpenAI.

   6. One of the founders of PayPal.

   7. Started Zip2 city guides. Sold it four years later for $300,000,000.
