@ShangguanJiewen When you have endless slave labor and zero mining regulations for the raw materials, yeah it’s pretty easy for china.

The real reason you can't get Chinese EVs in the USA, is that US brands can't compete with the speed of Chinese innovation.
Chinese engineering would wipe out US companies.
That's how far ahead China is, technologically.

@jhh226 @NickKayal Dem will win president in 28 but lose either the house or senate.
English
@NickKayal Yeah its going to be great. Dems win midterms, dont care if you get the Senate, and they will fuck it up so bad, Republicans win Presidency in 2028
English
Democrats are taking back the house this fall. That’s a forgone conclusion.
Republicans are also going to choke away the Senate. Despite having a small % likelihood of maintaining it in the prediction markets.
Blue wave is coming.
Prepare for Trump’s final 2 years to be pure gridlock.
The GOP blows.
English
@micah_erfan Of course dems support a ban, they have already gerrymandered all their states to death. Hmm I wonder if reps introduced a bill to not only ban but undo all from the last decade I’m gonna guess dems be against it.
English
Reminder: If Republicans really opposed gerrymandering, they could pass a national ban tomorrow.
English
@TrueSlazac You’ll be pretty annoyed when we burn down the data centers.
English
The main reason anti-AI people online annoy me isn't because of misplaced morals, it's the delusion
How can you think a tool used by over half of businesses that is very obviously a productivity boost could be a bubble that will disappear in a few years?
English
@JoeyMannarino Because republicans want to lose. I know I’m done voting for them. They fucking do nothing.
English
The GOP/Trump have $807.8 MILLION on hand for the midterms.
The Democrats have only $259.1 MILLION for the same fight.
Yet it is basically a forgone conclusion that we’re going to get trounced.
We literally have more than double their resources. Why aren’t we deploying?
English
Tomorrow’s Virginia election is not looking good for Republicans. The state will be ruined for generations.
But it should serve as another example to weak Republicans that playing nice with Democrats now won’t buy you any favors when they win later. They will use their power to keep winning and destroy you and any “norms” you thought there were.
We need to govern accordingly, especially at the federal level, and get things like the SAVE America Act passed. To hell with the filibuster. Nuke it and get it done.

Final early vote electorate for the Virginia gerrymandering referendum: 🔴GOP: 36.01% 🔵Dems: 63.89% For comparison, I went back and looked at the final figures for the 2025 gubernatorial election (and the model has a better idea of what that looks like in retrospect), and it produced an outcome of: 🔴GOP: 33.58% 🔵Dems: 66.41% So that's a 5-point shift to the Right compared to last year's early vote margin. And when you consider that there will inevitably be some Dems who vote "NO", plus the likelihood that those swing voters (who broke quite literally about 80-20 for Spanberger last year) are much more evenly split this time around, I can see this referendum passing by about 5-7 points compared to Spanberger's 15-point victory in November. That's my expectation. If we see some sort of Presidential-level turnout in Red counties tomorrow, that's how "NO" wins, but barring that, this referendum probably has about an 80% chance of passing. It really all just depends on rural turnout tomorrow. If you have not yet voted, the only way this thing fails is if you and your friends and family show up and vote "NO".

@ResistanceInRed So you’re a fascist. That’s what democrats are.
English
If a candidate decides to run as a Republican they are letting me know what they stand for.
I will never vote Republican.
Yea, I’m an independent but I’m also not a god damn fool.
The two parties ARE NOT the exact same.
English
@allenanalysis One day you will realize democrats are the real fascists
English
Dear Virginia,
Your redistricting amendment is on the ballot today. Pass it and Democrats pick up four House seats. Fail it and Trump gets what he wants.
Our country is counting on you to kick some fascist ass today.
Don't screw this up.
Sincerely,
The United States

@davidpattersonx @John00062397627 There will not be millions of robots in 5 years lololo. We would have to destroy the earth to mine all the materials needed and don’t forgot the materials needed for the batteries. And can you imagine the power consumption of millions of robots plugged in at the same time. Idiot
English
@John00062397627 All jobs will be replaced by 2030. This is a realistic estimate. For it to take until 2035, there would need to be serious problems. It would be a significant break from current trends.
Robot costs will drop rapidly as human labor costs are eliminated.
English
I understand how the economy works, and I know the impact that AI will have on the economy.
Ask me anything.
English
@WallStreetMav Can you imagine a billion robots charging at once lolllolol. And before we got there we would have destroyed the earth 10x over mining to make the robots and batteries for them.
English
I will take the other side of this "unlimited abundance" prediction and bet that it won't play out like this.
We simply don't have unlimited amounts of metals to mine and satisfy everyone. There are so many different critical metals that are struggling to maintain current levels of production. Forget about everyone getting whatever they want.

Jason Oppenheim reveals EVERYONE will be able to afford private chefs, maids, the best healthcare in 10 years due to AI👀 “Everyone within 10 to 15 years will have a Michelin star chef, a maid, babysitter, a dentist, and the best physician in the world”

Elon Musk on the rapid advancement of AI and robotics
"I'm confident that if AI and robotics continue to advance which they are advancing very rapidly working will be optional, and people will have any goods and services that they want"
AI and robotics are advancing so fast that, eventually, they could satisfy nearly every human need. At that point, abundance becomes the default, and the real question is no longer about production, but purpose
"There is a limit people can only eat so much food. But I think if you can think of it, you can have it in the future"
English
@micah_erfan It means my private cost will skyrocket because I’ll have to pay for the freeloaders, just as I’m still doing with Obamacare.
English
Americans broadly are not opposed to universal healthcare.
It’s our politicians that are.
Lazzyyyyyy@em_Lazzy
Serious question. Why are some Americans so against universal healthcare?
English
@SenSanders Well maybe you shouldn’t have demanded insanely high pay. And where is your precious union to stop it.
English
Dockworkers on the West Coast broke every productivity record — and are now being replaced by AI anyway.
This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about eliminating workers.
English
@realBigBrainAI Cept you don’t have enough raw materials to make all the batteries lol. Or maybe he just means that 7 billion people will be murdered by then.

Elon Musk's bold prediction: humanoid robots will outnumber humans by 2040.

@fire_starter457 Sooo then why don’t democrats say that they are the party of Lincoln?
BECAUSE THEY DIDNT SWITCH.
English
Apparently this needs to be said again since MAGA is VERY confused:
Yes, Democrats were the party of slavery- 150+ years ago.
Then came Reconstruction.
Then the Civil Rights Movement.
Then the parties realigned and ideologies flipped.
That’s not an opinion. That’s documented history.
You don’t get to ignore 150 years of history and then call me uninformed.
At this point, it’s not confusion. It’s willful ignorance.

@StoneAgeDodger @Pro__Trading It in China they can just take your home away and kill you. No thanks. I’ll take overpriced homes as trade off for not ha wings brutal dictator that can just kill people freely.
English
@Pro__Trading China's approach to housing emphasized controlling speculation ("houses are for living in, not for speculation" — a repeated slogan under Xi Jinping) rather than letting the market run freely as in the UK. Social credit regulates consumption. and its 1 home each no more.
English
Land and property will always be scarce. There's nothing AI can do about that.
And when you give people a universal basic income, they're going to compete for homes and those prices are gonna skyrocket.
Not to mention, everyone's gonna move out of an apartment and try to buy a home.
Home prices make up 44% of CPI.
I don't care how efficient AI makes other sectors skyrocketing home prices are going to lead to skyrocketing inflation.
English
@nicole_clash 90% of companies will be wiped out because with no humans workers these companies would have no purpose.
Oh and to make even a tenth of the millions of robots he wants we would destroy the earth mining the substances needed to the make the batteries. Fuck ai fuck Elon.
English
Elon is right.
People who argue from the side of
"where would the money come from?" and "if everyone has a million dollars no one has a million dollars"
does not quite grasp the amount of surplus we are about to have in the world due to AI and automations.
Yes, traditionally it is a monumentally bad idea to pump a ton of money back into the economy like this. inflation, higher taxes, etc.
But what people don't realize is, as AI progress, the profit margin of EVERY company is going to increase. every single company in the world will be able to do much more with much less costs.
It's not "we need to tax all the AI companies", it's we will be taxing EVERY SINGLE COMPANY.
In a world where 90% of human labor can be replaced, and the companies are operating at 10x their current profit margins, why would us taxing the companies at the same rate not result in 10x the amount of taxes collected from companies?
That is where the money comes from.
And you might think 'corporate greed' and 'corrupt government' might prevent them from giving out a universal high income with that money, but corporate greed is exactly why the government will be incentivized to do so.
If no one has money to buy things, no companies get rich. the economy just crashes, which is extremely bad even if you are a greedy politician.
We need the money gained from the higher profit margins of companies to be pumped back into the economy in the form of universal HIGH INCOME.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Not fucked, imo
It’s why the redistricting referendum in Virginia is so vital to help counteract this
VA +4 🔵
What about 2028?
NY & CO can squeeze out another 5-6 seats for Dems
These three states would neutralize the GOP eliminating up to 10 seats in the South
