AI changes so fast that people have no time to read the materials. Instead, they ask AI agents to read them and output even more tokens that no one has time to read. In the end, nothing has been fully understood by human brains. Do you actually read?

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level. Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens. It will accomplish 4 things (at least ) 1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization Which will 2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption Which will 3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x Which will 4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally. Thoughts ?

I was their BIGGEST fan. Panelist, Patreon supporter, event regular, even started my own channel partly because of them. Now I finally had to speak out about what happened to Fully Charged / Everything Electric. The name change, the silence on Tesla, my call with CEO Dan Ceaser… This one was hard to make. Watch below 👇

Hard leftists and DSA-types will fight AI tooth and nail because AI is the universal solvent for socialism’s three prerequisites. AI will reduce scarcity (abundance), eliminate victimhood (agency), and eliminate the need for intermediaries (disintermediation).
Brivael Le Pogam@brivael

Le socialisme n'est pas une théorie économique. C'est une structure morale qui a besoin de trois choses pour exister : 1. De la rareté à redistribuer 2. Des victimes à défendre 3. Une classe d'intermédiaires pour orchestrer le tout Retirez un seul de ces trois piliers et l'édifice s'effondre. L'IA est en train de retirer les trois en même temps.

@JOBhakdi Mars will dwarf in value anything terrestrial/orbital/moon, but will take 25-100 years to play out…will only be meaningful to today’s investor if significant advances are made in aging technology (which they will)…but, I said “value” because money won’t exist by then.

Mars isn't a main operational goal anymore. That's one of the main reasons I am so bullish. It's orbital data centers, then moon manufacturing. This is a seamless and pragmatic trajectory to infinity cash flow. Mars can still happen but I don't really care, I think it's more marginal than people think. If you can live on Mars, you can also live on the moon or Europa (not to be confused with living in Europe, which will be much nicer).

@remcob6 @JOBhakdi Mars will cost in the trillions before there are any earnings to come from it. Ill pass.

What's happening right now in our capital markets is going to DESTROY the retirement savings of millions of Americans. Anyone of good conscience needs to rise up and say enough. This must be stopped. I don't say that lightly. I've been doing this for 45 years, and what's happening right now to the integrity of our capital markets is unlike anything I have ever seen. This is not about Elon Musk or Donald Trump. This is not about whether you like rockets or hate rockets. This is about the systematic CORRUPTION of the financial system that every American depends on for their retirement. In the entirety of its existence, Tesla has generated approximately $36 billion in cumulative profit. That includes over $20 billion in government emission credits and tax subsidies. The company is valued at $1.7 trillion and its CEO is the richest man on the planet. I'm not talking about the stock price. I know the stock has made people money. That's the popularity contest. I'm talking about whether this company creates enough economic value to JUSTIFY the capital invested in it. And it doesn't. The returns on invested capital have been chronically below what any serious investor would demand. That's not wealth creation. So the product here isn't the car. The product is the STOCK PRICE. Elon Musk is selling hopium and an entire generation of investors is buying it without even knowing what a PE ratio is. I posted two pieces recently on Tesla and SpaceX. Each got over 1.5 million impressions. Thousands of hate replies but NOT ONE response with an actual argument. Not one. It was all "Libtard" and "Elon derangement syndrome." You would not get past a first-round interview at Fidelity thinking this way. But Tesla is just the opening act... SpaceX just filed for a $1.75 TRILLION IPO. $15 billion in revenue but no profit in sight. The private valuation was walked up from $200 billion to $400 billion to $800 billion to $1.75 trillion in two years. And Reuters has confirmed that SpaceX made early inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 a necessary condition for listing on the exchange. Nasdaq obliged by adopting a "Fast Entry" rule in March that lets mega-cap IPOs join the index after just 15 trading days, completely exempt from the normal seasoning and liquidity requirements every other company had to meet. And this matters because over $600 billion in passive funds track the Nasdaq-100. Unlike the S&P 500, which still requires months of seasoning and stricter float thresholds, the Nasdaq-100 is now a 15-day on-ramp for trillion-dollar IPOs. Every ETF and mutual fund benchmarked to that index will be FORCED to buy SpaceX within weeks of it going public regardless of whether the valuation makes any sense. Your 401(k) is literally the exit liquidity. You don't even get a choice. The structure of the market makes you a participant whether you want to be or not. That's what makes this different from every other bubble in history... You can't opt out. And the agencies that were supposed to protect you from exactly this? They're doing NOTHING. Peter Lynch would always say the product is not the stock and the stock is not the product. Show me one Hall of Fame investor who ever made his fortune chasing hype. Lynch, Druckenmiller, Soros, Buffett, Griffin, Cohen. Not one of them managed money this way. It's only the cult on X who thinks momentum and greater fool is an investment strategy. As Buffett said, in the short run the market is a popularity contest. In the long run it's a weighing machine. This popularity contest has gone on longer than any I've witnessed in my career. But gravity always wins. And when it does, the people who forced your pension fund into a money-losing rocket company at 120x revenue will have a lot of explaining to do. This must stop. And it WILL stop. The only question is how much damage gets done first. Are you listening?

Can someone at @NYC_DOT please explain to me why they can devote three crews to speed install a bike lane (that the local firehouse didn’t sign off on - in violation of Local Law 6), but they’ve neglected to fill a gaping pothole on Cross Bay Boulevard for more than 5 weeks? Priorities are all out of whack here. Focus on day-to-day needs of New Yorkers, not vanity projects.

Ryan Rozbiani@RyanRozbiani·
Not true, I looked into that too. Instead of paying a lump sum into the pension fund on the current schedule, the city spreads those payments out over a longer period. Same total owed, just smoothed across more years, which frees up cash now. It doesn't cut anyone's benefits, it just buys breathing room in the near-term budget. Think of it as a payment plan. ALL still must go in

This Man is a LEGEND Zohran Mamdani just closed NYC's $12 billion deficit without touching working New Yorkers. - $8B in new state aid from Albany - $2B from pension restructuring, NO benefits cut - $1.77B in operational savings (overtime, contracts, leases, dead programs) - $1B from delaying the class size mandate - $568M from taxing the wealthy - No property tax hike, no rainy day fund, no service cuts
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver

🚨 When Mayor Mamdani took office, NYC had a $12 billion deficit. It is now $0.
