I assure you the release of my book HUBRIS MAXIMUS: The Shattering of Elon Musk on the same day as this is an insane coincidence but I will promote the hell out of it regardless

“Over the past seven months, 6 percent of Musk’s posts on X, a total of about 850, have been about race, nearly triple the rate for the previous two years. … The billionaire has posted on X about race nearly daily — 166 out of 197 days — from last October to mid-April.” Story w/ @jeremybmerrill: wapo.st/4mRC7d5

Musk, on the verge of the biggest IPO in history, posted about race almost daily over that period. His extreme positions have become a cost of doing business for those who back him. “Capitalism is surpassing all ethics. … Capitalism beats feelings, unfortunately.”

Elon Musk has posted 850 times on race — touting whites’ role in eliminating slavery, rallying white people to stand up for their race, for example — over seven months. Two experts say his positions are “standard … white supremacy.” wapo.st/4mRC7d5

So after 40 years in daily journalism, it turns out it was just “the mechanical work of content adaptation.” The truth is writing is thinking and if you push reporters to rush/skip that part, you’re hastening the great slopification.

SCOOP: I got internal photos/videos of McClatchy's Claude-powered "content scaling agent" tool roiling its newsrooms. It's an AI product executives made because "we need more stories and we need more inventory," and journalists "defiant" about using it "will fall behind." 1/6

Elon Musk: "Unfortunately Hardware 3 simply does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD." Says Tesla will offer a discounted trade-in, letting people trade up for cars that have AI4 hardware.

You can read excerpts of Hubris Maximus in The Washington Post and Vanity Fair to see how Musk's business attitudes and political motivations began to intertwine. Musk’s fury over a Tesla investigation foreshadowed his war on Washington: "'Hubris Maximus'” details Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s contempt for regulators charged with overseeing his companies." wapo.st/4tvITI2

My book Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk published a year ago today. Barnes & Noble called it a best book of 2025 & Kirkus called it an essential new book challenging big tech. Publishers Weekly cited its "meticulous reportage." Now you can pre-order the paperback: barnesandnoble.com/w/hubris-maxim…

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.
