@TruthSeek01011 Just got back from your native country, Serbia. We also visited Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Hungary. If anyone wants to understand the absolute failure of Communism from anyone who has been through it, visit a former Soviet country. They'll set you straight.

The world FIFA cup is exposing the decades of lies and propaganda they’ve spewed and I’m so here for the truth. And I will continue to call out Canada’s bad behaviour because it’s that attitude that got us into the mess Canada is facing and has been facing for the past decade.

@elonmusk @BLKMDL3 @t_blom Today, for the first time since FSD was made available on the Cybertruck it correctly parked on 'my' side of the driveway. Next challenge, pull into the garage and keep it within inches of its normal parking spot.

Elon Musk@elonmusk·
Upcoming releases of FSD will remember your parking preferences, so that the car goes to the right location at your home, office, school drop off, etc. Destination parking is by far the biggest reason people now intervene with FSD. Critical safety interventions are extremely rare.

I’m astonished more people aren’t raving about Tesla’s full self driving. I no longer need to drive my car. The only time I take control is to back into my garage because it’s down an awkward ramp.

@RepJasonCrow Every politician who was depending on gaining or staying in power via rigged elections has a negative opinion on Tina Peters being released. You, Hick, Bennett, Griswold, you're all installed via a rigged system and crowing about not fixing it just exposes you all the more.

There is no crime in examining election data after the election is over. She found anomalies and your party jailed her for it. The Secretary of State exposed hundreds of passwords to the public and covered it up and now she is running for Attorney General. What is going on with your party? Do you think we are stupid?

What the hell was Governor Polis thinking when he commuted Tina Peters’ sentence? She was convicted by a jury of her peers on several criminal charges for interfering in the 2020 election, and her conviction was recently upheld in the Court of Appeals. This case was awaiting re-sentencing by the trial court and the Governor just simply cut off the judicial process. This is a gross perversion of justice and emboldens those who seek to undermine our free and fair election system. denverpost.com/2026/05/15/tin…

I vehemently disagree with Gov. Polis’s decision to commute Tina Peters’ sentence. She broke the law, undermined our elections, and was convicted by a jury of her peers. With Trump continuing to attack Colorado, we must stand strong for our institutions and the rule of law.
The Denver Post@denverpost

BREAKING: Gov. Jared Polis will reduce Tina Peters’ sentence by half, appearing to bend to demands from President Trump — and ignoring pleas of other Colorado elected officials and the prosecutor behind the election data-breach scheme conviction denverpost.com/2026/05/15/tin…

Your organization spent 5 years hiding its true assessment. It wasn't until the second Trump administration took over that the CIA admitted in January 2025 it was a lab leak and it was only because of whistle blowers inside the CIA. Citizens have the right to know that you hid it for all of that time when it would have made a huge difference in getting the information out there. If more people had known that the virus AND the vaccines contained an engineered spike protein, they would not have been as eager to line up and take the mRNA 'vaccine' which essentially manufactures this spike inside their body indefinitely.

The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.

🚨BREAKING:🚨SNOWDEN REPORTEDLY TO TESTIFY AGAINST COMEY, CLAPPER AND BRENNAN IN EXCHANGE FOR PARDON FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP, IMMUNITY - Former NSA intelligence analyst turned heroic whistleblower Edward Snowden is said to be nearing the end of "clemency talks" with the Trump administration that have apparently been facilitated by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a long time ally of and advocate for Snowden, and has reportedly agreed to testify in both FEDERAL GRAND JURY PROCEEDINGS AND SUBSEQUENT CRIMINAL CASES against former Obama FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan related to IMMINENT INDICTMENTS against the three DISGRACED TRAITORS for violations of The Espionage Act related to the warrantless mass surveillance of the American people in violation of their 4th Amendment rights that Snowden exposed. The tables have officially turned and in exchange for his testimony, Snowden is set to receive A FULL PRESIDENTIAL PARDON from President Trump, A RED CARPET RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES WITH A HERO'S WELCOME and COMPLETE IMMUNITY FROM ALL FUTURE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION related to the HIGH CRIMES of these three men that he EXPOSED that the Obama administration PERSECUTED him and forced him to flee his own country for. Are YOU excited to see the scales of justice tip in Snowden's favor so that he can be vindicated and help bring these three COWARDLY TYRANTS to justice? 👊🏻🔥🇺🇸

🚨BREAKING:🚨OBAMA'S HOUSEKEEPER FOUND DEAD INSIDE WASHINGTON DC RESIDENCE: POLICE - The DC Metropolitan Police reportedly responded to the home of former President Barack Obama in the early hours of Sunday morning regarding a DECEASED INDIVIDUAL who was later identified as the Obama family's housekeeper. The individual is said to be a male in his mid-30s but no name or other identifying information has been publicly released at this point. Reports indicate that Barack and Michelle Obama WERE HOME at the time of this incident, the man was pronounced dead at the scene with no cause of death yet publicly released and a FULL INVESTIGATION is underway. Stay tuned for more updates on this BOMBSHELL STORY. Why do young men who work for the Obamas keep ending up dead? Is this just a strange coincidence or is the most CORRUPT President in US history also a STONE COLD KILLER?

Suppose I own a highly volatile stock that increases many times in value. I'd be on the hook for paying taxes on its increased value. But suppose the stock then tanks and goes to nearly zero. Would I be eligible to get all the tax I paid on it back? That would be a nightmare to manage.

Contrarian position on Billionaires tax. I'm not in favor of CA taking one more dollar in taxes, but I'm also not sure why this tax is seen as unfair. We have property taxes on both homes and cars. There used to be an inventory tax on goods held by businesses each year. So, why would stocks, jewelry, paintings, etc. be any different. The argument that these individuals would have to liquidate assets to pay the tax is no different at all than my needing to liquidate assets to pay property taxes. What am I missing?

Aren't you the guy who did not know the difference between towing capacity and max tongue weight and destroyed your Cybertruck just to embarrass Tesla? Then Tesla glued it back together and you sought to destroy it again by testing their glue. But the glue held the full weight of the truck and you just proved your stupidity all over again.

Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage de points 3D. Sur le papier tu obtiens la géométrie exacte du monde. Dans la vraie vie c'est une verrue technologique collée sur le toit parce qu'on sait pas faire mieux avec la vision seule. Problème numéro un : ça rajoute une modalité dans le training du modèle. Ton réseau doit apprendre à fusionner vision + lidar + radar + ultrasons. Chaque capteur en plus c'est une source de désaccord à arbitrer, pas une source d'info supplémentaire. Sensor fusion artisanale = dette technique permanente. Problème numéro deux, la bitter lesson de Rich Sutton : scaler le compute sur une seule modalité bat systématiquement les architectures bricolées à la main. Tesla a dropé le radar, puis les ultrasons, est passé full end-to-end vision. Leur courbe sur les edge cases s'est accélérée APRÈS, pas avant. Waymo fait l'inverse et reste stuck en ops géofencée. Problème numéro trois, le plus fondamental : le LIDAR voit la géométrie, pas la sémantique. Il sait qu'il y a un truc, pas ce que c'est ni ce que ça va faire. Les derniers 9 de fiabilité sont des problèmes de cognition, pas de perception brute. Un capteur de plus résout rien, il ajoute du bruit. Sébastien Loeb balance une 208 T16 à 180 dans un chemin boueux corse sous la pluie avec zéro LIDAR. Deux yeux, un cerveau. L'évolution a donné des yeux aux prédateurs pendant 500 millions d'années, pas des lasers. Il y a une raison. Le LIDAR c'est l'équivalent du marxisme appliqué à l'économie. Une solution planifiée, centralisée, qui prétend modéliser explicitement ce qui doit émerger d'un système distribué et adaptatif. Tu remplaces l'intelligence par de la mesure, la compréhension par de la donnée, l'émergence par le contrôle. Ça rassure les ingénieurs qui veulent tout spécifier en amont, exactement comme la planif rassurait les économistes soviétiques. Et ça échoue pour les mêmes raisons : la réalité est trop riche pour être capturée par un capteur, comme elle est trop riche pour être capturée par un plan quinquennal. La vraie intelligence, celle de Hayek comme celle de Tesla, c'est de faire confiance à un système qui apprend de l'expérience plutôt que de tout pré-encoder. L'élégance d'une solution c'est son rapport signal sur complexité. Le LIDAR explose le dénominateur. Défendre le LIDAR en 2026 c'est préférer empiler des hacks plutôt que résoudre le vrai problème. C'est de la feignasserie intellectuelle maquillée en rigueur d'ingénieur. Les mêmes gens qui défendaient les systèmes experts en 2012 contre le deep learning. Ils finiront pareil. Never bet against end-to-end. Never bet against la simplicité. Never bet against Elon.

Went to the mountains in Colorado to touch rocks and grass over the weekend and saw massive work that was done for fire mitigation. This was Bureau of Land Management Forest, @BLMNational which is why the work actually got done. Colorado State officials wouldn’t have done a damn thing. Thank you for keeping the forests managed. Also shout out to @Interior @forestservice @EPA @LeeMZeldin .

I am the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Oracle Corporation. Last Tuesday, I sent an email to 30,000 people at 6 AM. Yesterday morning, I onboarded 1 person at $950,000 a year. Both were my responsibility. Both were executed flawlessly. The email said: "After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change. As a result, today is your last working day." I signed it "Oracle Leadership." Not my name. Not the co-CEOs' names. Not anyone's name. Leadership. Leadership is a signature that cannot be fired. At 6:01 AM, our infrastructure team disabled 30,000 badges. Revoked 30,000 VPN tokens. Locked 30,000 laptops. Wiped 30,000 voicemails. Suspended 30,000 email accounts. By 6:04 AM, 30,000 people were staring at a login screen that would never accept their password again. The email reminded them they were "prohibited from downloading, copying, or retaining any Oracle confidential information." 3 people called the HR hotline before 6:15. 2 asked if the email was real. 1 asked if she could retrieve a photo of her daughter from her desktop. I directed all 3 to the separation portal. That's data security. I've managed 11 separation events. This was the cleanest. 30,000 endpoints terminated in under 4 minutes. I sent the email from a template in PeopleSoft called TERM_MASS_COMM_v4. The v4 is important. Version 1 had a paragraph that said "we value your contributions." Version 2 shortened it to a sentence. Version 3 shortened it to "thank you." Version 4 removed it entirely. Legal flagged it in 2024. You cannot say you valued something you are discarding at 6 AM. Liability exposure. That's risk management. The co-CEOs approved the plan in 11 minutes. I timed it. I always time approvals. Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia. They received $250 million and $100 million in stock option grants when they took the roles in September. They asked about the WARN Act filing timeline. They asked about the restructuring charge projection. They did not ask how the employees would be notified. They did not ask when. That's executive alignment. In January, TD Cowen published an analyst note. It said cutting 20,000 to 30,000 employees would generate $8 to $10 billion in incremental free cash flow. We needed that cash. Our AI data center capital expenditures are projected at $50 billion this fiscal year. We had a $20 billion shortfall. The 30,000 people were the shortfall. I don't call it that in the board deck. Slide 14 has a waterfall chart. The left column is labeled "Current Headcount Cost." The right column is labeled "Redeployable Capital." The 30,000 people are the bridge between the 2 columns. They are a blue arrow. Calibri 11pt. That's strategic planning. 1 day before the email, on Monday, our 5-year credit default swaps hit 198.6 basis points. That is the highest level in Oracle's history. Higher than December 2008. Higher than the financial crisis itself. The market is pricing our debt at levels not seen since Lehman Brothers still had a lobby. We carry $124.7 billion in debt on the books. We added $39 billion in 9 months. Our trailing free cash flow is negative $24.74 billion. I included this in the board deck on slide 3. Nobody discusses slide 3. Slide 3 is where we put the things that are true. That's transparency. By Thursday, the H-1B data reached the press. 3,126 petitions. We filed them while scheduling the separation event. Same department. Same quarter. Same PeopleSoft instance. The termination workflow is TERM_MASS_COMM_v4. The visa sponsorship workflow is ONBOARD_H1B_STD. They share a database. They share a help desk queue. They share a budget line. 1 workflow removes 30,000 people who built the cloud infrastructure. The other sponsors 3,000 replacements to continue building it. I manage both workflows from the same standing desk. That's human resources. An employee posted on Blind that it was "a slap in the face." I know which employee. We have analytics on Blind. Sentiment tracking, attribution modeling, post velocity. His post received 4,200 upvotes in 12 hours. I flagged it for Corporate Communications. Communications sent me a thumbs-up emoji. Nobody drafted a response. That's stakeholder management. Yesterday morning, Hilary Maxson started as our new Chief Financial Officer. Base salary: $950,000. Annual performance bonus target: $2.5 million. Equity package: $26 million — $20.8 million time-based, $5.2 million performance-based, vesting over 4 years. We are also covering up to $250,000 in relocation expenses. Her offer letter is 7 pages. The separation notice I sent 30,000 people is 4 paragraphs. I managed both documents. The compensation committee approved her package on the same call where we reviewed the $2.1 billion restructuring charge. We have recorded $982 million of that charge so far. That is what 30,000 people cost on a balance sheet. The CFO's equity package is 1.2% of the restructuring line. A rounding error. No — less than a rounding error. A rounding error's rounding error. That's market-competitive compensation. Our Slack user count dropped from 165,000 to 155,000 in a single day. If you have access to the admin panel, you can watch the number fall in real time. I have access. It drops fast between 6:04 and 6:11 AM. Then it slows. Stragglers. People who hadn't opened their laptops yet. People in Pacific Time who were still sleeping when their career ended. By 7:00 AM, the line flattens. I watched it from my standing desk with a coffee. The line goes down smoothly. No bumps. No steps. Just a slope. That's attrition analytics. In Kansas City, I filed WARN notices for 539 people. 85 software developers. 43 systems analysts. 39 program managers. In Washington, 491 people. 270 software developers. 46 development managers. These are the people who built Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We are now spending $50 billion to expand it with different people on ONBOARD_H1B_STD. The WARN filing lists the separation date as June 1. The email said today is their last working day. The badge stopped working at 6:01 AM. 3 different dates for the same event. That's compliance. 12,000 of the 30,000 were in India. Bangalore. Hyderabad. Pune. India does not require WARN notices. This is not why 12,000 of them were in India. But it is why nobody has to file anything. That's jurisdictional planning. The quarterly earnings call was March 10. 21 days before the email. The co-CEOs announced $553 billion in remaining performance obligations. They said demand for AI infrastructure "continues to exceed supply." The analysts upgraded their estimates. The stock is down 57% from its peak. It was $326 in September. It is $146 today. Larry Ellison's net worth is $188.7 billion. He has not made a public statement about the layoffs. He has not been asked to. That's governance. Trust in the Q4 engagement survey dropped 34 points. I reported it under "Culture Health Metrics." My manager said the numbers were "expected for a rebalancing of this scale." She told me to revisit it next quarter. I will revisit it next quarter. By then the Slack count will have stabilized. The Blind posts will have cycled off the front page. The ONBOARD_H1B_STD workflows will have completed. The new CFO will have her equity vesting schedule configured in PeopleSoft. And the 30,000 will be on LinkedIn, adding "open to work" above the Oracle logo they can no longer access. I will be here. At my standing desk. Managing the workflows. 30,000 separation emails sent at 6:00 AM. 3,126 H-1B petitions filed the same quarter. $26 million in equity for the new CFO. $350 million in stock options for the 2 co-CEOs. $188.7 billion in personal wealth for the chairman. $124.7 billion in corporate debt. 198.6 basis points on the credit default swaps — higher than 2008. Negative $24.74 billion in free cash flow. $50 billion in AI capital expenditure. 1 PeopleSoft instance. 2 workflows. Same server. TERM_MASS_COMM_v4 and ONBOARD_H1B_STD share a database. That's human resources.

We did a family road trip to Taos this week. 5 hours each way. Our Model Y did 100% of the driving. Zero interventions. One 12-min stop each way to charge during a bathroom break. Two 25-min charges in Taos while shopping. $57 total. Three things: 1) Most people don’t know that self-driving is solved. It’s mind-blowing and alleviates a surprising amount of mental load. When the supervision requirement is removed, it will be an even bigger game-changer. 2) Once you drive a Tesla, all other cars feel like relics from a bygone era. There are lots of subtle features that you don’t notice until you drive a regular car again. 3) Tesla is light years ahead of all other automakers and that gap will only grow because no other car company can design from first principles.
