Innovative tech billionaire Elon Musk, on his official account on the X Platform, “blesses” Andreessen Horowitz general partner Katherine Boyle's proposal to create something called TITS I said (I was joking) that the time has already come to start doing so. previously mentioned by a Twitter user).
This acronym stands for “Texas Tech University”. Back in 2021, Musk expressed on Twitter the idea of founding this university that would offer “magnificent products.” MicroStrategy boss Michael Saylor (who was the company's CEO at the time) responded by saying, “Teach your students this: Seriously, #Bitcoin offers outstanding benefits.” .

Earlier today, the tech entrepreneur and well-known DOGE enthusiast commented on Katherine Boyle's tweet, saying, “Maybe it's time!” If this actually happens, TITS will create a large-scale real-world use case for Dogecoin and take its adoption to a whole new level.
Mr. Musk's experiment in school education reform
Musk is known for his ideas for disrupting the modern U.S. education system, as well as transforming the electric vehicle and space industries. He has already established two schools. One of them was called Ad Astra (Latin for “to the stars”). It was an abandoned school attended by the children of SpaceX employees. The school focused on teaching children problem solving, critical thinking, science, engineering, and ethics, and did not have traditional academic subjects or grades. The children were divided into groups according to their ability levels.

Ad Astra closed in 2020. Musk then continued to experiment in the field of education, creating Astra Nova in the same year. The principles of education were similar to those adopted in Ad Astra, but this time the school was open to everyone, and not just a narrow circle. The school also aimed to teach children the skills they would need in the future, both technologically and socially. Full-time enrollment costs $32,500 per year.
