Who are the best experts on Iran?

Today I've asked Starlink/X CEO Elon Musk to activate Starlink Direct-to-Cell and Google CEO Sundar Pichai to expand Satellite SOS for Iran during the ongoing internet blackouts and protests. - x.com/NarimanGharib/… - x.com/NarimanGharib/… Many people argue that Iranians don't have modern phones capable of using these satellite technologies. This claim is demonstrably false. I analyzed our VPN app data (ArgoVPN) from December 2025 in Iran. The results are clear: • 15% of Iranian users already have Starlink-compatible devices (over 1 million installs in December alone) • The top 3 most popular devices in Iran are ALL Starlink-compatible: Samsung Galaxy A32, A51, and A54x • These are mid-range, affordable devices - not expensive flagships Here's what people miss about Starlink Direct-to-Cell: It requires ZERO special hardware. No satellite dish. No special antenna. Any LTE phone from the last ~4 years works. The satellites act as cell towers in space, and phones connect automatically when there's no cellular signal. The technology is ready. The phones are already in people's hands. With 90 million people in Iran, the potential reach is enormous. The main barrier isn't device availability - it's deployment and carrier agreements. The Iranian people are fighting for the very freedoms America was built upon. This is an opportunity for American tech leadership to make a tangible difference - not just in saving lives during emergencies, but in supporting the fundamental human right to free communication. @elonmusk: Please fully activate Starlink Direct-to-Cell over Iran NOW. @SundarPichai: Please expand Google Satellite SOS to Iran. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸@realDonaldTrump @SecRubio: This is a historic opportunity - using American innovation to support freedom without troops or billions in aid. Just technology that's already built. Help the Iranian people break through censorship and communicate with the world. #TechForFreedom #SatelliteForLiberty #IranProtests

@vhmth @loom let me just look something up in the admin tool…

It really should be illegal that I have to pay for @loom.

@vhmth text me back 🥲

@lissijean @loom You know where to find me @mcannonbrookes. Happy to jam with the team if they want/need it

What happened to @loom? It used to be such a great tool, and now it is ridiculously buggy. Over one hour spent today trying to record a 2 minute overview of a new feature.

@ZacWalberer @loom sorry zac i know this is a huge pain in the ass - any chance this helps? support.loom.com/hc/en-us/artic…

Why does this need to 1) open constantly and 2) open 99% of the time right when the countdown for my @loom video ends so it's a part of the recording? This enough has me looking for alternatives.

@rahulshivkumar and what did you say?

A good question someone asked me recently "What was a period in your life that you felt like you changed the most beliefs/opinions"

@vhmth one thing I’ve always admired about you is your ability to reflect and change your mind. I don’t know anyone with more conviction and openness. you’ll find your way ❤️

I am rich and have no idea what to do with my life. Where I talk about leaving Loom, giving up $60m, larping as Elon, breaking up with my girlfriend, insecurities, a brief stint at DOGE, and how I'm now in Hawaii self-studying physics. vinay.sh/i-am-rich-and-…

@GarshytHoel this was genuinely moving

SpaceX - single handedly forcing humanity through the tech tree. 🫡

did a Benioptimus write this

@vhmth @wileycwj @lmramirez_ confirmed it was fixed and is just waiting for release 🙏

@vhmth @wileycwj @lmramirez_ whoops thought we fixed this earlier this week, will double check

yo @vhmth pls fix the new bug where the Loom desktop app plugin opens every time I reopen my laptop from sleep

@vhmth @philfreo @loom @lmramirez_ oh that sucks I’ll dm you @philfreo 🙏

@philfreo @loom Tagging @00nicolette and @lmramirez_ here in case they didn't see this!

@loom - I love your product except that video playback is SO unreliable (I don't have this problem with video playback from any other sources).

@GarshytHoel @vhmth lmao i was honored tbh

@00nicolette @vhmth lmao i just noticed i said tress instead of nicolette - string replacement had a memory bug there

How have I just discovered The Stormlight Archive? This is about to become my entire reading agenda for years. Can already tell The Way of Kings is about to be one of my all time favorite books.

@vhmth the kingkiller chronicle, the rage of dragons, mistborn for more sanderson (which some may argue isn’t high fantasy but i’m not picky with fantasy 🤷🏻‍♀️). im sure @GarshytHoel has told you to read the wheel of time

@00nicolette Any other high fantasy you recommend?

@keepitterron whoa! best of luck in surgery and wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery ❤️

went for an ultrasound two days ago completely unaware, getting cancer surgery today. life comes at you fast, yo

@mira_jaar I guess not everyone read scar tissue during their formative years
