@r0ck3t23 Robots assist surgeons and can make us better. Replace, not. Patients wouldn’t have it.

Elon Musk just told the world to stop training surgeons. Not slow down. Stop. Musk: “There’ll probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.” The entire global surgical workforce. Redundant. Before a current med student finishes residency. “Don’t go to medical school?” Musk: “Yes. Pointless.” Twelve years. Half a million dollars. One word. Optimus does not shake. Does not fatigue. Does not flinch at hour eleven of a twelve-hour operation. It improves every night while the surgeon sleeps. By year four, Musk says he’d stake everything on it. By year five, it is not close. Then came the line that rewrites who medicine has ever belonged to. Musk: “Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.” Medicine has always been rationed by wealth. The best surgeons on Earth have always belonged to the powerful. That ends. Completely. Within five years. The machine does not calibrate its precision to your net worth. It does not save its best work for the wealthy. Full capacity, every time, for everyone. One day, choosing a human surgeon over a robot will feel like refusing the anesthesia. Human hands are no longer medicine’s highest standard. The ones who doubted this will understand it the day they need surgery, not a surgeon.

Hello Alex Wong, I'm Melanie from Native Teams Agency. We’re keen to feature your video of the chaotic TSA lines and airport mess at JFK Terminal 5 around 5am in a story across our platforms and those of our partners, with full credit to you. Do you agree with that? You can find more details at bit.ly/4hSAo3J.

Current #jfk #terminal5 #tsamess @5am #airportchaos #traveldisruption we are basically #hostages #fixthis @POTUS @TSA

@DeliciousDarth @ScooterCasterNY Afraid not. Security line backup up in to check in area and almost out the door.

@AlexWongMD @ScooterCasterNY That's people checking in, sparky. That isn't the security line.

ALERT: TSA Pre Check line at Terminal B in LGA wraps arround each room and is stretched to the parking garage at NYC Airport this morning

@StringerViral @POTUS @TSA Yes

@AlexWongMD @POTUS @TSA Hello @AlexWongMD, I hope you are fine . I am a journalist with a London based news agency . Is this your video ? We would like to use it for our coverage and to distribute it with our media partners with Credit to you . Can you please follow me back for DM . Thanks

@ReikoSPCT Yes

@AlexWongMD Hi, I’m Reiko with Spectee, an online news agency. 1. Did you record/own this video yourself today? 2. May we and our media partners use it with credit/@AlexWongMD? Thanks.

@GriffinEckstein @ScooterCasterNY Yes, I shot that video. Ok to repost with credit. And with a mad sprint to the gate I made it with 30 seconds to spare!

@AlexWongMD @ScooterCasterNY Wow @AlexWongMD, hope you made it through. I'm a reporter with NBC News. Did you take this video yourself? If so, will you give NBCU permission to share it on all platforms and partners, with credit to you? Thanks

@sportsyenta @TSA I have pre-check & Clear but the latter was not available. Pre-check took about 75 minutes at 5am. More appalling was that some worker helped 5 guys cut the line. Meanwhile, I was sweating out the texts from my airline “boarding ends in 5 min” !!!

@AlexWongMD @TSA Yikes… flying tomorrow morning out of terminal five… How long did it take you to get through TSA and do you have pre-check

@StoryfulNews Yes, I filmed it in my iPhone just over a hour ago. You have my permission to distribute with attribution to me.

Hi @AlexWongMD, I hope you're well. I'm with the news agency Storyful. Did you film this video? If so, may we distribute it to newsrooms (CBS, Fox, ABC, NYPost, USA Today) for use in news reports per the terms found on our site at storyful.com/clearance with attribution to you? Thank you

@FoxNews Unconventional in desperate times. But creative #leadership nonetheless @elonmusk .. my 5am at @JFKairport - just before mad sprint to the gate

BREAKING NEWS: Elon Musk is offering to pay the salaries of TSA workers during the government funding standoff. The tech mogul said the funding impasse "is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country."

@WhiteHouse A solution is needed. 5am @JFKairport

"If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before..." - President Donald J. Trump

@HelplineDepaCs_ Thank you. This has resolved on its own. The driver finally did the right thing and cancelled on his end. However, his inconsiderate actions led to lost time.

@Uber Your customer support is very impossible to access during a ride where the driver accepted but then immediately asked me to cancel. I have been stuck in the app with few options and now locked out because your 2FA is not working properly! @Uber @dkhos … need help now please!

Sitting in the backseat like 😐

@Rivian Hi @Rivian - I have been waiting on the phone to talk to a roadside assistance agent for 13 min and counting … too long for an urgent roadside need. I can’t get in to the R1S! Help!

Chasing the kind of magic found at sub-zero. We’re here for cold roads and warm smiles.

@zerohedge Haha! Yes! Sold naked calls weeks ago

OKLO missed on earnings. Which might matter if it had revenue

@jimcramer Darn missed it! When is the next one? Also, what do you think about #IART ?? Sleeping beauty or send to pasture?

Thank you to everybody that came out to the How to Make Money in Any Market signing in Brooklyn tonight! I LOVE hearing your stories and talking about the market with you!
