@elonmusk @grok @elonmusk ... you need to. I use both Grok and ChatGPT. ChatGPT edges out Grok. Almost exclusively business related work.

The next @Grok Imagine release will be epic. We are doubling down.

They bought the security paper, told everyone they’d use only it, then they turned off the security paper detection system, and brought in non-confirming ballots. Over 200,000 of them according to the voter-volunteer findings of the Senate forensic audit.

@Outkick I met Mr. Holtz many years ago... great man.

He didn’t just say it… he meant it. Remembering the great Lou Holtz

A guy with a YouTube channel just accidentally redesigned the most complex machine in human history. Not an aerospace engineer. Not a SpaceX executive. A guy with a camera who asked one obvious question. Tim Dodd was walking around Starbase when Musk proudly explained how the Super Heavy booster eliminated its entire cold gas thruster system. Instead of a separate, heavy, complex mechanism, it just vents hot gas directly from the propellant tanks. Elegant. Zero added mass. Zero extra failure points. Dodd asked one question. “But this is only for the booster, right?” Musk stopped. Not to defend. Not to explain. Not to reframe the question so it didn’t threaten what he had just said. He stopped because something clicked. Musk: “Yes. Although arguably, now you mention it… we might be wise to do this for the ship, too. Now that… we’re going to fix that.” Mid-sentence. In real time. On camera. No pause to protect his pride. No deflection. No “good point, let me circle back on that.” Just the immediate, unfiltered acknowledgment that a better path existed and they were going to take it. Seven months later, Musk confirmed it was one of the biggest improvements ever made to the vehicle. Think about what just happened. To change a fundamental flight system at a legacy aerospace company requires years of environmental reviews, safety committees, and budget approvals. Musk deprecated an entire subsystem in 15 seconds because a podcaster asked the obvious question that nobody inside had dared to ask. In a traditional corporation, that cold gas system gets built anyway. Because admitting the architecture is flawed is politically expensive. The VP doesn’t want to lose the headcount. The engineers don’t want to scrap the work. The manager doesn’t want to explain the pivot to their director. And so the mistake gets a budget. Gets a timeline. Gets a team assigned to it. The machine gets heavier. The flaw becomes load-bearing. And eventually the flaw becomes so embedded in the structure that fixing it would require tearing down everything built around it. So nobody fixes it. Now think about the last time someone pointed out a flaw in something you built. Something you were proud of. Something you had already explained to twelve people without anyone questioning it. Did you stop the way Musk stopped? Or did you feel that heat in your chest. That reflexive need to explain why they were missing the point. Why the context was more complicated than they understood. Why the question, though interesting, didn’t really apply here. That heat is the most expensive thing most organizations will ever pay for. A failed launch at least tells you the truth. A defended mistake just compounds. This is the organizational architecture required to win the AI arms race. The ultimate moat isn’t compute. It isn’t capital. It is the velocity of error correction. The geopolitical AI race will not be won by whoever starts with the best blueprint. It will be won by whoever can feel that heat in their chest and choose the truth anyway. A journalist asked a question. The best answer won. The rocket got lighter. Most egos don’t.

Dear friends and family, As many of you know, today is Forgiveness Sunday—the tender threshold where we lay down the burdens of the past year and step humbly into the quiet path of Lent. From the depths of my heart, I ask your forgiveness. For every sharp word that escaped my lips in haste, angst, or anger, for the times my posts wounded rather than healed, for moments of impatience when patience was most needed, for the help I failed to offer and the listening ear I withheld, for my shortcomings, my blindness, my ineptitude in loving as I should— please forgive me. I stand before you as one flawed and fallible, yet longing for grace. In this sacred season of turning and return, may we all release what divides us, so that together we might walk lighter toward the light of Paschca; Easter. With genuine sorrow and hope, Forgive me, a poor miserable sinner. And may God forgive us all. Blessed Lent to each of you.

@elonmusk @xai @elonmusk I am an executive manager at a very large manufacturing company... I've worked at several similar sized companies with similar responsibilities; the only truly successful corporate culture... Just do shit, and get shit done.

Get stuff done @xAI

Only two more senators and America gets a new lease on life

Awesome

83% of Americans want it NOW!

"When you go to church, do not look at anyone; pray with your eyes closed or fix your gaze on an icon. Do not take interest in the lives of the priests, and do not run around seeking out elders or those who are clairvoyant with the spirit. The world is in malice and deception, and the deception (the beguiling of souls) will be direct - be extremely cautious." Saint Matrona of Moscow

This is how we destroy the minds of our kids. This right here. This kid is spot on, and the teacher deserves a special place in hell for punishing her answer this way.

Great! Now do the other 49 states!

🔥The amendment that @RepChipRoy @RepScottPerry and I offered yesterday to defund the unconstitutional automobile kill switch legislation in the Infrastructure bill will get a vote later today. Please call & encourage your member now to vote YES. I’ll post the floor debate soon.

“My girlfriend got on to me the other day because she doesn’t understand why I can’t just pick eggs out of the carton like a “normal” person. She’s standing there watching me and says, “Why can’t you just go row by row like everyone else?” I said, “Because no egg should ever know when its time is coming.” She stared at me for a second, shook her head, and said, “You’re a psycho,” then walked off. Little does she know…I’ve got a whole tournament system going on. I take two eggs, tap them together, and whichever one doesn’t crack moves on to the next round. Only the strongest survive. 🥚 💪 😂” Credit: @/ThrillaRilla369
