Saudi prince and his Cybertruck

Billionaire Elon Musk reacted to a picture of Saudi prince Turki bin Salman Al Saud standing next to a Cybertruck manufactured by Tesla this weekend.

Born in 1987, Turki is the second of King Salman Bin Abdelaziz’s six sons with Fahda Bint Falah Bin Sultan Al-Hithlain.

The all-electric truck goes well with the Saudi prince. Better than gold Mercedes seen on the streets of Dubai.

Reposting the picture, Elon Musk wrote, “Cool.”

Our DNA Ages With Us — And Some Genomes Age Faster Than Others

Life hacking is a modern catch-all for a growing movement that treats the human body and mind as systems that can be measured, tested, and improved. A life hacker uses tools from biohacking, data tracking, and behavioral science to pursue human optimization and self-optimization, often through the quantified self approach—measuring sleep, nutrition, stress, and performance to guide personal optimization and performance hacking. Increasingly, this mindset is focused on longevity hacking and anti-aging biohacking, with the aim to slow aging naturally, reduce one’s biological age, and in some cases even attempt to reverse aging.
