🚨 MIND-BLOWING HYPOCRISY JUST EXPOSED. Trump is out here popping champagne over a brand new Iran “deal”… …centered on Iran’s sacred promise that they will NEVER obtain a nuclear weapon. Sound familiar? Because ABC’s Jonathan Karl just dropped the bomb: That exact same promise was in the very first paragraph of Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal. Let that sink in. Obama makes the deal → Trump rips it up, slaps on “maximum pressure,” starts a war, costs lives and billions… …only to crawl back and celebrate the exact same core commitment like it’s some historic genius move. Same promise. Different body count. History is laughing. The cycle is complete. What a time to be alive. 🔥 Quote. Repost. Ratio.
💥NEW: @chamath on LA Mayor Election: “I’m for mathematical and statistical literacy. And what happened here is mathematically and statistically IMPOSSIBLE … I can tell you the statistical odds that this would have happened — and it’s one in a trillion!”
So 2024. What both parties miss is that AI can be a great government vs business equalizer. If government hires people willing and able to learn how to use the same AI available to everyone, from any number of domestic model makers, it has the opportunity to serve Americans, adequately at worst, more productively and effectively , if done well and transparently The more efficient government is, the harder companies have to work to outperform it. That makes for more opportunity. What both parties have to realize is that the problem that will accelerate in this new world is crony capitalism. Both parties excel at giving our taxpayer money to their friends. Like all new technologies, AI will create new pockets of wealth that will try to buy our politicians. From both parties. The more transparency we require in government, the more we respect the right of the people to challenge that largesse, the more we restrict the ability of politicians to receive dark money , and reward their friends, the better the quality of life will be across the country. Whether you like it or not, AI has changed everything, except , our government , our politics and our politicians. Which have not changed at all. So here we are. Talking about parties and politicians that are thinking in the past. Like it’s still 2024. That’s a problem for all of us.
Congratulations @ElonMusk. Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire. He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth. He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world. Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did. And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves. One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults. Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life. If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever. Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen. Alternatively There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all. To start - If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers. It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail) Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability. Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up But They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. Let’s make sure he’s also the last.
@piersmorgan Or inciting violence. If you call that ‘working’. Not sure how you can have so much contempt for Tommy Robinson while also praising the guy funding and amplifying him.
Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology. China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/
BREAKING: US President Donald Trump says both Israel and Iran are seeking an off-ramp to their latest bout of fighting and are in final negotiations for an “immediate ceasefire”. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/wo3o0j
BREAKING! Iran just struck US targets in Kuwait after the US struck Qeshm today. Also, alarms just went off in Bahrain, seems Iran is striking there too. Iranian source tells me Iran has stopped playing the tit-for-tat game. Instead, it's now striking back "at least 1.5x as hard" for every attack the US against Iran.
The British government is saying they're banning me because I am "a serious risk to the public order" due to my criticism of Israel. They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don't know if facts will soon be banned in Britain. I didn't get banned for criticizing the UK, but for criticizing Israel. They broke the irony record by saying it was because I said Israel might control other governments. I wonder if they're going to ban themselves. Think about it - if I had said that the Israeli government controls the British government so thoroughly that they'll ban someone from coming to the UK just for criticizing Israel, they would have said that was an antisemitic statement. This is absolutely Kafkaesque.
🇮🇷 The IRGC Navy turned back vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz without coordinating with Iran's new Persian Gulf Strait Authority. Iran is enforcing its permit system in real time, the same night it fired a ballistic missile at Kuwait and launched 5 drones at U.S. forces. Source: Tasnim News
