@al80786 @RealShahriqKhan We don't celebrate that Jesus was unjustly condemned to death and subjected to torture. We celebrate that He expressed love so deep that He was willing to experience death on our behalf. It was our sins, collectively, that put Him on the cross.

@RealShahriqKhan The killing of Jesus is salvation for you, so his death is a cause for celebration for you. That is why you love the cross, the instrument on which Jesus was killed. As a Muslim, I see that you do not truly love Jesus.

You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity? Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU. Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH. Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor. Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them. They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving. One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more." Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own. That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God. He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.

@matthew_brunken When I first started running, it was on trails, and I've never done much road running. Trail running seems so much more interesting, and it's rewarding to climb mountains.

My hot take: trail running is what you do when you can’t hit road times anymore and want to obfuscate the hard data.

@azfec @DrRalphHeap Today, solar and batteries can be very cost effective, especially in a sunny state like AZ. We should let the free market guide policy.

Arizona’s energy future is being decided right now. -The lasting impact of Arizona’s push toward net zero. -A growing reliance on wind, solar, and battery storage. -Utility profits, federal subsidies, and the policies driving higher costs for ratepayers. @DrRalphHeap and @ScotMussi break down how Arizona’s utilities went from opposing Green New Deal policies to embracing net zero, why the Corporation Commission matters, and what these decisions could mean for affordability and grid reliability. Heap also explains why nuclear power should remain part of Arizona’s energy future, and why ratepayers deserve an energy policy built around reliability, affordability, and accountability.

@BP1TAZ @gailalfaratx That is understandable, but to arrest her seems like gross overreach. She is a victim.

I’m very sorry this happened to you and your family. As a retired police officer who specialized in vehicular homicide and DUI, I would tell you that his vehicle was part of a crime scene and you are not allowed to start sifting through it to gather your own evidence. Anything you did find would likely be suppressed.

On April 7, 2024, around 2 a.m. in Austin, Travis County, the worst thing happened to our family. My husband was hit by another driver who, according to police and as you can see on dashcam footage, ran a red light. The impact spun his car around and took off the front tire. I rushed to the scene and found him terrified in our Tesla. Thank God for Tesla’s safety features as he suffered bruises and neck whiplash but survived what could have been FAR worse. Police told us the driver was intoxicated and had no papers. I saw the vehicle and looked inside for any information. Officers immediately stopped me, took my phone, handcuffed me, and placed me in a patrol car. I was told I had trespassed and that the other driver could press charges. After hours and multiple calls, I was released so I could care for my husband. Weeks later, our lawyer could not find any case details or the driver’s identity. Years later, we still have no answers. I have the dashcam footage and my photos from the scene, including the temporary license plate. I’m sharing this publicly now because official channels gave us nothing. We just want transparency and closure. This is my personal account of events as I experienced them. Sharing in hopes of transparency and closure for our family. Video with full details attached.

@le26284 @DillonLoomis Of course we have to allow it, but I hope that, unless Candace radically changes direction, she experiences the consequence of losing her viewers and fans.

@DillonLoomis While I agree with you about her, I disagree with your comment "But free speech does not mean free from consequences". As long as the speech stays within the bounds of what is legal we have to allow it. We do not have to agree with it.

I probably won't comment on this too much more as overall I've been disgusted with the fallout of Charlie's murder watching society react, but I need to make this very clear Important context: this is coming from someone that for a time, before any of this happened, enjoyed listening to Candace from time to time and thought she was overall a force for good. That era is long gone Candace has also become a litmus test for your IQ and your discernment in pursuing objective truth, very similar to how Elon is I stopped listening to Candace awhile ago, but to see her digging her heels in instead of showing any signs of humility or remorse for what she's done is astounding We all make mistakes, but she has crossed some lines that should never be crossed imo. And she's done it perpetually, for months. And continues to do so when the facts and new information paints her clearly as wildly inaccuarate at best and evil + satanic at worst I don't wish harm upon anyone, but I do hope she's held accountable in some way. Yes, ask questions. But she was WAY over that line. Yes, free speech. But free speech does not mean free from consequences I hope I'm wrong, but given the facts right now, she appears to be a wolf in sheep's clothing and should not be followed or listened to until something changes

@DavidAbbasi1 @elonmusk @realDailyWire It is so weird to me that you would say he is doing nothing to help others, when in fact he and his companies have done so much.

Clearly, Elon and this current Administration hates America. They would rather Americans starve and not receive Health Care so they can spend trillions of our dollars on regime change in Iran or rockets to Mars. Being a trillionaire and not doing anything to help others is so weird to me.

The Allah of the Quran is not the same as the God revealed in the Bible. Allah: Focus is on performance and rituals.
Yahweh: Focus is on the heart and Motives. Allah says: Submit to me. Yahweh says: Come to me. Allah’s relationship with people is primarily that of Master and servant. Yahweh’s relationship with believers is Father and child. Allah’s emphasis is submission. Yahweh’s emphasis is relationship. Allah says: Earn reward through obedience. Yahweh says: Receive salvation as a gift of grace. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Allah’s followers hope they have done enough. Yahweh’s followers trust in what Christ has already done. Allah gives a law to follow. Yahweh writes His law on the hearts of His people. (Jeremiah 31:33) Allah offers guidance. Yahweh offers Himself. Allah says that no one can bear another person’s burden. Yahweh took our burden upon Himself through Christ. (Isaiah 53:5-6) Allah send message through angel. Yahweh became the message, revealing Himself in Jesus. Allah asks, “Will you submit?” Yahweh asks, “Will you trust Me?” Allah remains distant from humanity. Yahweh entered human history and dwelt among us in Christ. (John 1:14) Allah forgives whom he wills. Yahweh provides a sacrifice so that justice and mercy meet at the cross. Allah requires prayer toward a specific direction. Yahweh says: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) Allah teaches that forgiveness is connected to God’s mercy and a person’s deeds. Yahweh says: “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins,” and He provided that sacrifice through Christ. (Hebrews 9:22) Allah created humans and jinn for Hell. Yahweh says that Hell was originally prepared for the devil and his angels. (Matthew 25:41) Allah loves those who obey him. Yahweh demonstrated His love for sinners: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Allah calls people servants. Yahweh calls believers His children. (1 John 3:1) Allah offers guidance through a prophet. Yahweh entered human history Himself in Jesus Christ to seek and save the lost. (Luke 19:10) Allah’s message centers on submission. Yahweh’s message centers on reconciliation and relationship. Allah says, “Do enough and hope for mercy.” Yahweh says, “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Allah asks man to work toward acceptance. Yahweh accepts us through faith and then transforms us from within. (Ephesians 2:8-9) That is why Christians believe the God revealed in Jesus Christ is fundamentally different from the Allah described in the Quran.

@alojoh They could mandate that all Cybertrucks sold in Europe come with FSD included. Oh, wait, most European countries still don’t allow FSD! I can’t imagine owning a Tesla in 2026 and not having FSD…

I tihnk it's crazy that Tesla isn't allowed to sell Cybertruck in Europe. I know it has to do with some pedestrian safety nonsense but the reality is that since Tesla wouldn't sell many of them anyways because it's too expensive and Europe isn't a strong pickup truck market that the few units sold would have a rather low probability of hitting a pedestrian. If Tesla sold 10K units after a year it would represent about 0.003% of the total European vehicle fleet. In other words: the probability of a Cybertrack hitting a pedestrian in Europe would be astronomically small.

@TimBuzby @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Tesla seems to be incentivizing us to just let our vehicles wander at times. So far, I have been quick to intervene whenever it’s expedient. But maybe I will have to “just let it go“ so that I can see some cowbell!

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Unfortunately, I’ll never see that until the navigation route out of my neighborhood stops taking the least efficient routing 😆

Here’s what happens when you hit an FSD streak milestone on @Tesla V14.3.4

@GregMcFarland16 @tesla_na @wholemars We’ve been driving Teslas for 10 years, and we have never needed to change motor lubricating oil or battery coolant. Windshield wiper fluid is cheap and easy to handle.

@tesla_na @wholemars I hate the no oil changes lie!! Stop!!! Your motor has lubricating oil that should be changed at 50k miles. Also a great time to change coolant in the battery maintenance system. And keep a gallon of windshield fluid in the frunk!!!

A Tesla is twice as likely to reach 250,000 miles as a Subaru

“No engine, no oil changes, no timing chains, no fuel injectors, and far fewer moving parts overall”

Christianity has the harshest verdict on human nature of any religion on earth. It also has the most extravagant grace of any religion on earth. That is not coincidental. Every other religion does one of two things. It sets a bar you can clear; works, rituals, devotion, and moral accumulation, with a path to standing before your god with something to show. Or it dissolves guilt altogether, telling you the self is an illusion, that sin is merely ignorance, that enlightenment is just a reframe. Human religion, across every culture and every century, moves in one of these two directions. Earn your way in, or talk your way out. Christianity does neither. It does something no human committee would or could design. The Sermon on the Mount is not mere moral teaching, it is an intense prosecution. Jesus does not merely raise the behavioral bar, but He relocates it to the interior, where nobody can hide. The Pharisees; the most disciplined religious performers in the ancient world, could clear the behavioral bar. They could not touch the heart bar. Nobody back then could and nobody since has. Anger is murder, lust is essentially adultery. When Jesus finished speaking in Matthew 5, no one in that crowd was still standing, all their defenses collapsed. That does not look like religion, it resembles a courtroom. And the verdict is an emphatic GUILTY, without exception. Now watch what happens next. The same God who delivers that verdict does not simply show mercy. A judge who acquits a criminal is merciful. What Christianity offers is not acquittal. The criminal does not simply walk free. He moves into the judge’s house, he gets the last name and he receives an enormous inheritance. Romans 8:17 says we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. Not pardoned, or tolerated but adopted and entitled to the full inheritance of the eternal Son. People underestimate what that inheritance means because they think in earthly categories. The richest human who has ever lived will die, and his estate will eventually dissolve. What Romans 8 describes is something creation itself is groaning in anticipation of; the full revelation of the glory of the sons of God. You are not inheriting assets. You are inheriting glory. The shared, eternal glory of the Son of God. No human religious imagination arrives here. The gap is too wide. The indictment is too severe and the grace is too extravagant, and they are too precisely proportional to each other to have been invented. The depth of the hole and the height of the rescue match exactly. That kind of architecture does not come from a fleshly committee. The most devastating indictment in the history of religion. The most generous verdict in the history of religion. Both in the same book, both from the same God. The paradox is not a contradiction. It is in my opinion, comprehensive proof of the substance and the veracity of this beautiful faith.

@CarloOdorizzi @alojoh @elonmusk @aaronburnett Today’s self driving, with supervision, is quite useful and convenient. I find it sufficiently compelling that I would not at all consider buying a non-Tesla vehicle.

Out of about 100M new cars sold each year, I struggle to imagine 20% population would buy the exact >$50k same car when there are so many compelling options from different brands. Unless, of course, it would start to self drive unsupervised in 2023… Which I guess is the exact point you’ve been emphasizing long enough… 😉

I think once we get to a Starship launch every month we’ll see a dramatic increase in optimism. At once a week it will be boring again (for most people). Like Falcon 9 was. But that cadence is a perfect time to get your non-space friends and family to launch if they haven’t already. The experience is powerful the repetition rate makes it undeniably real.

@alojoh @elonmusk @aaronburnett I think Elon honestly expected consumer demand for Tesla vehicles to be far stronger. However, I also believe it’s irrational, in most cases, for anyone to spend $40k+ on a vehicle and not buy a Tesla.

@elonmusk @aaronburnett Is this the new 20M cars per year? x.com/elonmusk/statu…

Galatians 4:4 looks like a transition verse. “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son.” If you read it fast, it sounds like a timestamp. But if read slowly, it is the most staggering sentence in the Bible. ‘Fullness of time’. Paul isn't saying God picked a convenient moment. He is saying God declared a moment complete. “The preparation is finished and everything I have been building across centuries is exactly where I need it to be”. God looked at human history and said: now. Which forces the question. Why then? Why not a thousand years earlier, when Moses was fresh? Why not a thousand years later? What was so perfect about the first century? I started looking into it and I have not recovered. God needed a people with the theology. He spent 2000 years forming Israel; the covenant, the sacrificial system, the prophets, Isaiah 53 written seven centuries before Calvary, the framework of a coming Messiah who would bear the sin of the world. The Jews were shaped by wilderness, exile, and divine discipline, until the theological infrastructure for substitutionary atonement was fully in place. But theology alone could not travel. God needed a language. Not a tribal dialect, but a universal tongue. So five hundred years before the Gospel, He let the Greek philosophers begin. Heraclitus sat in Ephesus and concluded the universe was governed by an invisible rational principle. He called it the Logos. The Stoics built on it. Philo of Alexandria stood at the intersection of Greek thought and Hebrew scripture and said the Logos was the mind of God in creation. For five hundred years, philosophy built a conceptual category it could not fill. Then God sent a conqueror with no interest in theology. Alexander the Great wanted glory and empire. God let him want it. In satisfying his ego across three continents, Alexander Hellenized the ancient world and forged Koine Greek, the common tongue of the docks, markets, soldiers, and slaves. A language stripped of complexity, simple enough for anyone, universal enough for everyone. The Hebrew scriptures were translated into it. The Septuagint was born. God used a pagan conqueror’s ambition to translate His own Word. Then Rome came and paved the road. The Pax Romana. Piracy cleared. Stone highways stretching from Spain to Syria. A framework for movement the ancient world had never seen. None of them knew they were collaborating. Heraclitus thought he was doing philosophy. Alexander thought he was building a monument to himself. Rome thought it was building an empire for Rome. Not one of them understood they were stagehands. God was with Heraclitus in his pondering, with Alexander in his conquest, with Roman engineers laying stone, quietly requisitioning their work for a purpose none of them could see. And then, when the covenant people were in place, the language primed, the roads built, and the category ready, when everything He had been quietly assembling was finally set, God stepped into the room they had unknowingly prepared. John picked up his pen and wrote: “In the beginning was the Logos.” Every Greek philosopher in the Mediterranean felt the ground shift. “And the Logos became flesh.” The category they spent five centuries constructing was not a principle. It was a Person. The ‘fullness of time is not a timestamp’. It is God’s signature on a completed work. And the humbling thing is that this work was not built by saints. It was built by conquerors, philosophers, and emperors who thought they were writing their own story. God let them think that. And used every word. If this is not amazing then I don’t know what is.

@gabriel_gilliam @Tesla You can still buy a late model used X or S.

@Tesla After years growing into my career and dreaming of one day buying a Model X, within less than a year or two from finally having the means to get one, it's being taken away. So disappointed ☹️

The legacy of Model S & X will live on in our vision for autonomy

@MattWalshBlog The issue is loyalty, not place of birth. We need to take loyalty oaths more seriously, and there need to be real consequences for lying. And no dual citizens allowed in office.

Absolutely. This quite obviously should be the law. We already require the president to be a natural born citizen. Why wouldn't we extend that requirement to congress and the judicial branch?

God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, as the sacrifice in our place. Amazingly, Jesus was sacrificed on Mount Moriah, the same mountain where Abraham was earlier commanded to sacrifice Isaac. “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” Many Muslims seem to believe that they should sacrifice their sons as shahid (martyrs) in the cause of jihad. But the true and living God sent His Son for us.

@DragonflyStar17 @RealShahriqKhan Im not sure I understand your point - are you suggesting that Muslims believe that they should sacrifice their sons for God, as in a physical sacrifice ?

When I was Muslim, my entire world was this feeling: I was doing everything right, but still not enough.  I was praying on time. Fasting. Obeying. Trying your hardest to please God. But still feeling far from Him? That’s the orphan spirit. And I didn’t realize I carried it until I left Islam. Because here’s the truth nobody ever told me: Islam doesn’t raise sons. It trains servants. You obey to survive. You perform to prove your worth. And you never actually know if it’s enough. So you live anxious. Always striving. Always exhausted. Always trying to earn security that never fully comes. I lived like that for 20 years. Then I met Christ. And I didn’t meet a distant judge. I met a Father. A God who didn’t tell me to climb my way to Him, but came down to rescue me Himself. That changes everything. Because now my relationship with God is not built on fear of failing over and over again. It’s built on adoption. And trust me, I still fail. I still mess up constantly. But a son runs to his Father differently than a servant runs to a master. That’s the difference. So if your relationship with God feels cold, distant, exhausting, and transactional, maybe the issue isn’t that you’re broken. Maybe you’ve just never known what it feels like to be fully loved by a Father. Jesus didn’t just save me. He adopted me.

@DavidNinth @C_S_Skeptic @elonmusk @profstonge I don’t think anything in the Bible precludes humans living on other celestial bodies. Earth is certainly the focal point of eschatology, but that doesn’t rule out human activity elsewhere. We have a God-given drive to expand and explore.

@C_S_Skeptic @elonmusk @profstonge I like Elon and I'm amazed by and appreciate his contributions to the world, but on this topic I have to agree with you. Not only because of what you mentioned, but biblically, it never happens. The world is judged, the angels reap and destroy, then Earth is renewed.

The first guy to be a trillionaire is the guy who's doing it as a passion project because he wants to go to Mars 😎

@azfec I agree with you on many things, but you are wrong on solar and batteries. Most people don’t understand just how far costs have dropped. So much so that, in Arizona, it is a no-brainer for me to set up a DIY solar/battery system for my home.
