The Robots are Coming
We are β2 to 3 yearsβ from mass adoption of robots β Elon thinks it could happen even faster.
How will it change our lives β and what will happen to jobs.
Stanley Zhong had a 4.42 GPA, a 1590 SAT, and ranked in the top 1% of the USA Computing Olympiad (Platinum). He built a free e-signing platform, reached the semifinals of Google Code Jam, and placed 2nd in MITβs Battlecode.
Still, 15 of 18 colleges rejected him β including Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and even Cal Poly.

Heβs not alone. Stories like this are surfacing everywhere. Students are asking: When did merit stop mattering?
Itβs time we start rewarding it.
