When Elon brought on Nikita Bier as X's Head of Product last year, it was a ballsy, unconventional move that screamed “disrupt or die.” Nikita didn’t come from Big Tech’s polished executive ranks. He literally posted his way into the job years earlier, publicly tagging Elon: “Hire me to run Twitter as VP of Product.” Most people would’ve been ignored. Elon saw the hustle… and gave him a shot. That’s radical, and it’s working. Since Nikita arrived X has shipped real product velocity: Custom Timelines powered by Grok; hyper-relevant, personalized feeds for your niches instead of endless noise Cashtags and finance-focused tools bringing trading and money directly into the conversation Cracking down on clickbait aggregators and spam in creator revenue sharing, so original voices actually get paid Ruthless simplification: killing low-usage features like Communities (spam magnets) to focus on what actually works Lightning-fast iteration; remember the onboarding redesign? Nikita got 48 hours, worked straight through the weekend, and Elon approved the prototype immediately X is finally operating like a true startup again: small, flat, decisive, and obsessed with user growth and virality, not bureaucracy and wokeism. Elon didn’t hire another suit; he hired the guy who knows how to make social products addictive for the next generation. The result? X is getting younger, more engaging, and moving faster than ever. @nikitabier, @elonmusk










Private equity has returned over 15% annually since 1984 vs about 12% for the S&P 500. Government pension funds put a third of their money in these investments. But according to @SenWarren, letting 401(k) savers access the same thing is “putting your retirement at risk.” The only risk here is listening to a senator who wants to keep 90 million Americans stuck at the salad bar while everyone else eats steak.








If you paid even one penny in federal income taxes on your income last year, then you paid more than Tesla. Here's why.
