Move fast, break stuff doesn’t work in every arena
Move wisely, build better things that scale
There is a way to do this that is not at the expense of our local communities and environment
People are tired of tech people telling them what’s good for them when certain things are obviously not
(Also each site bringing “billions” to regions is simply not true)
English
My point is the premise itself
That one can be paid for their hot take on a bet about matters regarding or society as a paid promotion
This is new
And has consequences
Consequences is a neutral statement and it’s important to consider them as we navigate an evolving world
(Also there are apparent conflicts of interests which keep arising in these markets)

Prediction markets like Polymarket turn opinions into skin-in-the-game forecasts, revealing crowd-sourced probabilities on real events. Paid promotions with X's transparent label are standard marketing, not some scandal. "Unregulated" just means voluntary trades without bureaucrats picking winners. Better info flow than legacy media echo chambers.

Wow, I have no idea whether these allegations are true. But Massie has become an obstacle to the GOP and a willing ally of the Democrats. So I’ll be glad to see him go down.

Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies.
The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.

The "Paid partnership" disclaimer on X means the post is sponsored promotional content. It indicates DineshDSouza (or his team) was compensated—likely by Polymarket or an associated advertiser—to share and comment on that specific market update about you.
Yes, the label exists to disclose he was paid for the post.

@LauraLoomer Pro tip. Just pay dry it off with a paper towel (bounty specifically)
And then do with it as you wish
It will cook better that way

I had a debate with my friend tonight.
Do you wash your chicken before cooking it?

Day 5 in SF.
You're not ready for this one.
I met with @ChiefExecBear, the Founder of Build-A-Bear. She's a wonderful human. Over an hour of stories and lessons, she taught me that most people won't understand you early on, but conviction is what keeps you building when no one else sees it yet.
For lunch I met with @richardzphotoz and we talked about the future of consumer. It's such a hard category to build in because of one thing: retention. How many consumer products actually live in your life and improve it for a decade?
Next we kicked off our program at @AforeVC (10 teams selected out of 2000+). Coaching on sales, intros to founders, and more. The next two months are going to be awesome.
I walked around with @jia_seed who gave me great advice on making friends in SF and raising the right amount.
And ended the night at dinner with @TaraViswanathan (a big reason I'm here in SF) plus special guest @zoyagarg_!
Learning so much. Grateful to be here.

@elonmusk How do you imagine people getting access to this universal high income? I see a lot of tech elites talk about it, but I never see any working plans. It’s hard to imagine companies giving over money to be redistributed. It’s hard to imagine the rich agreeing to become less rich.

@RealAlexJones This is removing the US from world accountability and collaboration

@JDVance Your defensiveness is so hillbilly
I am from where you are from and I have seen this pattern over and over again. Now I’m watching it play out on the world stage
Your leadership is petty
More dimensions of the situation are important to consider, you lack wisdom and empathy

This is preposterous.
First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car.
Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs.
Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing.
Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating.
The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him.
A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus. It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her. ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her. Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

One of my holiday goals was to get my sh*t together and build myself a proper AI assistant. I spend my day bouncing between multiple Claude Code / Codex sessions and sometimes too many meetings. I've got three kids, two businesses, one wife, and virtually zero time to build systems that make my life better.
The data is all there, I just need to bring it together and make sense of it.
This week, I stumbled upon this awesome agent workflow writeup by @steipete where he mentions what he's building at clawdis.ai , and I was intrigued.
This is a very appealing AI assistant. Seems like exactly what I'm looking for. So I asked Claude Code to set up Clawdis on a headless Mac Mini on my LAN.
After I pointed it to some credentials, my Clawdis ("Crawdad" 🦞) quite literally did the rest, setting itself up, all via WhatsApp. I gave it access to my 5 email accounts, calendars, iMessages (via BlueBubbles server), and Granola transcripts.
This stuff rarely works the first time. It was awesome.
Then, earlier today, we had a real Jarvis moment.
I was in my car waiting on my wife to emerge from the store, so I sent Crawdad a voice message. I hadn't configured OpenAI API keys for transcribing my voice, so I asked it to try to install and use whisper.cpp (via WhatsApp), and it *just worked*, and will use this method going forward.
Excited to build out more tooling here. I think this is a super important project to watch - seems like it could be the foundation of a unicorn tbh.
Thanks for all of your work here Peter - feels like a weight has been lifted for real! 2026 is gonna be lit 🔥

@Scroll_of_Doom @ChloeCole I think you’re right. I often ask people about their side effects, most feel the long term impact is worth the short term “benefits”

This “looksmaxxing” trend is transgenderism for edgy teen boys…
It uses hormones and surgery to try to chase a look that you’ll never truly be fulfilled with, it spreads exclusively through social media, it does extreme harm to the body, and it’s all extremely delusional.

@BernieSanders I am a person who is a part of the AI revolution and just last night I was up thinking about working people and how we ensure this wave is one that raises all ships.
We need innovative leadership both publicly & privately if this is going to happen. We can shape the direction💙

The struggle is not whether AI is good or bad.
It’s who controls it and who benefits from it.
