@SawyerMerritt @Tesla I'm 66 & use fsd 99% of time

Just got a DM from an 88 year old that says she bought a new @Tesla Model Y in September and uses FSD constantly. "I purchased it (Model Y) in September. I am 88 years old, female, will be 89 January the 8th. It has been a godsend to me. I use it (FSD) constantly, and I hope I can continue using it for the next 10 years."

@elonmusk @DOGE Young people need to learn respect for others at an early age. Their current role modeling in many inner cities is a disaster.

A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC. A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her. It is time to federalize DC.

@hubermanlab @StuartMcMillan1 I just started skipping down fairways. Great way to forget about that shank

The biggest addition to my core fitness regimen in 35 years (which is lift 3X a week, run 3X a week, slow, med, fast)= skipping & striding. Skipping?! Yep. Transformative for speed, power, longevity & mobility. Tomorrow’s HLP w/world class coach @StuartMcMillan1 shows you how.

@paddywarbucks I'm scared and scarred.

This is a picture of my parents. Tell me you wouldn’t be terrified

@cb_doge Any company that collects personal data be required to annually give you ALL your personal data within 30 days upon request, tell you who they've shared it with, or pay meaningful hurtful fine.

You wake up tomorrow as the President. What’s the first change you would make?

@lexfridman Why is transparency such a fight...

Minimizing bureaucracy should be supported by everyone. It's obvious. It's depressing to see how much inefficiency there is in government, the very system that has an opportunity and responsibility to help a lot of people at scale. Everything should be made digital (fast, easy, accessible), transparent (no waste/corruption), and all processes made as simple as possible.

@mcuban Aligned values trump disagreements. If you are all working to make government function as efficiently and transparently as possible, no conflicts of interest, then your help should be welcomed.

I offered. There have been studies saying we could save billions. Per year.

@elonmusk These age 100 plussers are an obvious testament to our superior government run Healthcare.

According to the Social Security database, these are the numbers of people in each age bucket with the death field set to FALSE! Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting Social Security 🤣🤣

@westerns1978 @lexfridman @realDonaldTrump @ZelenskyyUa @KremlinRussia_E If God wrote the Bible, their first chapter would be the tools of dispute resolution.

@lexfridman , your dedication to fostering dialogue and understanding between leaders like @realDonaldTrump , @ZelenskyyUa , and @KremlinRussia_E is truly inspiring. Your approach to these complex issues with empathy, rigor, and challenging questions is exactly what we need to move towards peace. Your journey to Russia and Ukraine for this cause is a testament to your commitment to not just talking about peace but actively working towards it. It's a beacon of hope in these turbulent times. We need more conversations, not less, to increase understanding and compassion globally. Your efforts are a small but significant step in the right direction. Keep pushing for peace, Lex. We're all rooting for you and praying for a successful outcome. 🕊❤ #PeaceTalks #UkraineRussiaDialogue #GlobalUnderstanding #EmpathyInAction

Donald Trump speaking directly with Vladimir Putin and with Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a great step toward ending the war in Ukraine. I pray for peace and for successful negotiations between these leaders, hopefully soon 🕊 As I said, I will be traveling to Russia and back to Ukraine to do all I can to give a public forum for these leaders & others to give their perspective, in long-form, with empathy but also with rigor & challenging questions. We need more conversations, not less. I think the goal for us humans, in order to avoid a global war and to survive long-term, should be to increase the amount of understanding and compassion in the world, and constantly seek paths to peace when wars break out. I try to play a very small part in that in the best way I know how ❤ CC: @realDonaldTrump @ZelenskyyUa @KremlinRussia_E

@elonmusk @DOGE Plane tickets are cheaper than a week in a hotel. Do the math.

The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

Tell us what they can do better. You have ideas, put them out here on X where you are not censored. Remember don't drink and text. Run your ideas by your publicist first. You gave yourself a black eye with this one. Are you trolling. Is Mark Cuban a troll? I hope not. I would have expected more awareness from you. You do come off sometimes as smug on Shark tank as well as kind. Your X is smug and thin with little foundation. Do better, and tell Elon n the Donald, what exactly they can do better. When people lack facts they attack character. It's base. Do better.

Anyone consider that maybe Elon’s mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for ? It’s not a shock for Elon , or anyone, to put their personal goals first Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No ? Free Speech is everything. Until it’s anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world. above and beyond the President of the United States.

It's the CULTURE! Get Dave Logan and his crew onboard. They change culture. "The Five Stages Of Tribal Leadership" is one of the cleanest easiest to read manuals on how to improve organizational culture. I found the book fascinating. I have no association with Logan or the publishers.

Wow …

@DinaMeyer I preyed on that bird...

@SethMacFarlane It's like every time I make a comment, it's supposed to be great as I'm taking the time to publish it with deep layers of remarkable thought. I insist.

Since this has been trending, here’s a fun fact: “It insists upon itself” was a criticism my college film history professor used to explain why he didn’t think “The Sound of Music” was a great film. First-rate teacher, but I never quite followed that one.

And lead us not into temptation …

@Tesla Hi, I currently own 5 teslas. My Cybertruck was ready for pick up yesterday, but I could not pick it up as I currently have a role in Fallout, shooting in LA. I have to pick up truck in Oregon. I had ordered a founders series but chose not to drive a car without AP. I believe AP is twice as safe, and in certain situations 10x. Through messages on the app they told me I had used up my holds, when I was just waiting for AP. I am a first day CT reservation holder who just got an email saying my reservation is canceled. No phone call when I requested one several times. I'm a staunch supporter of Tesla and stock holder. Should I be getting shoved around like this? I understand there is a 14 day window to pick up after being notified, but can't we make some exceptions? Acting jobs in A list productions are almost impossible to land. If I leave a production I would be sued. I also asked the question via the Tesla app if AP is functioning as well as it is in our Y's and 3, and have not received a reply. Can you help?

@pickover @lexfridman Has there ever been a forum that sooo starkly contrasts propaganda?

Yesterday, an 𝕏 follower asked me if I was leaving 𝕏 for other platforms, as he was doing. My response follows: Hi, thanks for your question about whether I will continue to use 𝕏 as my main platform to reach people around the world — to increase their curiosity, joy, and sense of wonder, and to provide an outlet for my own creativity. Answer: I will continue to use 𝕏. From what I can tell, 𝕏 has more than 300 million monthly active users, with a significant number being 25 to 34 years old. The US, Japan, Brazil, India, and the UK probably makeup almost half of 𝕏’s user base. Indonesia and Turkey also have very a very strong usage. I have more than 180,000 followers, and had a few rare tweets of mine reach a million views. Numerous famous scientists, authors, artists, and pundits, whom I admire, are on 𝕏. Given that one of my goals is to leave a favorable mark on the world before I depart — and to encourage curiosity and hear from like-mined people — I think 𝕏 is the best platform for me. I’ve been fortunate that comments I receive are almost always positive, curious, imaginative, and fun. Also, from my tweets, you can tell I have a sense of humor, joy, and a love of the absurd — and 𝕏 has been a useful outlet for this. Every day I receive great user feedback. The tweets streaming into my 𝕏 feeds provide a fountain of wonder, art, science, news, and balm for loneliness. If I’m in the mood for the wilder side of 𝕏, I can use the “For You” view. If I’m in the mood for something tamer and more restricted, I can use the “Following” view, and just see the people and feeds I follow. Where else can I observe important word leaders and thinkers, get a pulse on a segment of the planet — and receive such a diversity of thought and break free from the echo chambers we all develop through time? In summary, I’m not sufficiently adventurous to abandon such engagement and curious connection with the rest of the world. Let us know if your departure from 𝕏 turned out to be satisfying for you.

I would like to announce that I will not be announcing that I'm leaving X.

Chamath, can you or X establish a list of people who are "the unbroken chain of truth". I know as soon as you organize it can look like sensorship. Maybe the "tree of truth," where everybody on your list, posts their list? Help us who stopped watching n reading mainstream years ago, and have been wandering in the search engines praying our pickaxe strikes gold.

I cancelled my @nytimes and @washingtonpost subscriptions and just reallocated the money to subscribe and follow the following folks on @X whom I believe help me get accurate news. @cremieuxrecueil @AutismCapital @shellenberger @KanekoaTheGreat @TheChiefNerd I will periodically publish accounts I subscribe to on @X that you may want to consider supporting as well. Worst case, consider following them.

@DanielTetsuyama B u in the states?
