NEW: 50 empty Waymos invade Atlanta neighborhoods and circle their cul-de-sacs for hours early in the mornings. Residents say they are getting waymo traffic than usual and have tried combating the cars with a neon green sign, which only made the problem worse. The Waymos didn't know what to do and clogged the entire street. "We have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning, and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic," one resident said. The residents say Waymo has not given them a response yet.

There was never a $12 billion hole in the budget. That fairy tale was cooked up to justify reckless spending and political theater. I left the incoming administration with $8 billion in reserves, not a financial apocalypse. Albany election-year bailouts are not a long-term economic strategy. The free money dries up after Election Day, but the bloated “free” programs stay forever. And here’s the part the socialists in City Hall never want to admit: the millionaires and billionaires they love demonizing already pay roughly 40% of NYC’s taxes. Keep demonizing the people creating jobs, investing in this city, and carrying the tax base, and eventually they’ll stop investing here altogether. Facts are stubborn things. Even when some politicians aren’t.

@TheRoaringKitty This is fun.

Kitty of the roaring type is back!

@libsoftiktok She's so entertaining.

AOC on the new Tennessee Congressional map which would eliminate the last Democrat seat: “States like Tennessee want to wipe out every Black Representative” The current Democrat Rep is a White guy and his Republican opponent is a Black woman. Can’t make this up

@Futurenvesting Bro really is buying heavy. This is very reassuring. Will keep buying as well.

$SOFI CEO Anthony Noto just bought ANOTHER 15,545 shares of SOFI at a total cost of ~$250,000. $500k total in the last 2 trading days.

Remember how they lost their sh*t when @elonmusk did this?

Every human who has ever lived, every breakthrough in consciousness, and every dream for the future is currently contained on this lone blue marble To ensure the light of consciousness continues, we must become a multi-planet species "We need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare, and it might only be us. And if that’s the case, then we do everything possible to ensure the light of consciousness is not extinguished” — Elon Musk

@spencerpratt File law suits.

After CBS embarrassed Karen Bass by fact-checking her debate lies about the Palisades Fire, they clearly got the call. CBS filmed with me on my burned out lot for over an hour, and they turned it over to Karen Bass’ PR team to edit it into a comical 5 minute hit piece with clips from the Hills. They can’t beat my ideas, they can’t beat me in the debates, so they gotta try to turn my campaign into a sideshow. People are done with these skeezy political tricks, and I’m done with CBS. They’ll never get a word from me for my next 8 years as mayor. Adios! What outlet should I have in their absence?

You're wasting your time bro. The only thing this lady understands is giving away everyone else hard EARNED money. She wants people who hate america on never ending welfare so she can continue to spu this nonsense in washington. She simply doesn't have the capacity to understand. All she knows is capitalism is evil therefore billionaires are evil. Don't forget she was jetsetting with bernie on private jets. She is a narcissistic hypocrite.

It saddens me to see this level of economic illiteracy. Creating a billion dollar company isn’t evil, and you don’t have to steal from workers. Are you telling me the founders of Google, Facebook, Apple got rich by underpaying their workers and forcing them to get food stamps? No, they paid workers generously, and gave them free food at company cafeterias. These founders didn’t take from the company’s operating budget that was meant for payroll. They benefited from the appreciation of equity, and gave their employees access to the same equity appreciation. What a dangerous way of thinking to claim that anyone who created value must have stolen it.

@farzyness @AOC You’re wasting your time.

You have a zero-sum mentality. You think 'earning' $1 billion is "impossible" because you cannot conceptualize how the economy works. The economy works by bringing the future forward. The future is infinite. Therefore, the economy is much closer to infinity than it is zero sum. Try telling someone from 1,000 years ago that millionaires would exist, most people in America would own a magical square in their pocket that has access to all of humanity's information, and they can drive a metal box that will take them thousands of miles away, or ride in a tube that will fly through the sky while they watch a movie on their magical square device. Your entire premise lacks imagination, which is not surprising from someone who makes a living leeching off of the taxpayer by misleading low-info voters.

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.

@MorgenHatton @ryancohen @eBay @PSAcard Hold up! Is his username Ryan_5050? Lmao 🤣

🚨 @RyanCohen calls out @eBay. 🚨 Then he walks onto @eBay and uses their own platform to prove his point. A PSA 10 Trump Topps Now card with a @PSAcard estimate around $216 is already bid up to $1,525 with nearly a week left. That is not just an auction. That is a live demonstration of price discovery, scarcity, culture, attention, authentication, and marketplace liquidity all colliding in real time. Now zoom out. He is reportedly doing this with 20 items. At this pace, he might use the proceeds to buy eBay himself. But the joke is hiding the real lesson. This is checkmate. Ryan is not just telling eBay’s board they are underperforming. He is using their own platform to show the world what they have failed to understand. @eBay does not just have listings. It has cultural inventory. It has collector psychology. It has trust infrastructure. It has global demand sitting behind every rare, authenticated, story-driven asset. Yet the board does not meaningfully buy shares, does not appear to act like owners, and does not seem to fully leverage the machine sitting directly in front of them. @RyanCohen is turning their own scoreboard into the argument. This is not trolling. This is activist investing as performance art. This is strategy with a receipt attached. The man is showing that collectibles are not dead inventory. They are financialized culture. They are emotional markets. They are attention assets. And when the right operator understands that, a marketplace stops being a website and becomes an arena. One day, Harvard Business School will write case studies on this. The activist did not just call out the board. He used their own product to expose the opportunity they were sleeping on. Checkmate.

@elonmusk @TheRabbitHole And it will all be wasted and stolen.

I have paid over $10B in taxes in a single year, more than anyone in history. If I exercise and sell stock options, the combined federal and state income tax is ~45% (I still pay California taxes for every day I spend there). Then there is another 40% tax paid on my estate when I die. Overall, I will probably end up paying trillions in taxes.

Do rich people pay taxes? > Yes. Do they pay their fair share? > More actually.

WTH is this? @CNN

🚨 I was almost taken hostage in Cuba... I went to Cuba to document the humanitarian crisis and show life under 60+ years of communism and now amid the US blockade. Once I landed, they seized all my cameras except my iPhone and had intelligence agents following me all day until my security noticed their spies tailing us to the hotel where they waited all night for us to come down. Under communism there is no free speech, and those who show the reality or speak up are imprisoned. Me going without a planned Cuban government guide nearly got me and my security taken hostage or imprisoned. The situation in Cuba is much worse than anyone knows.

@StockSavvyShay He tried his hardest to not explicitly state that he is going to dilute to ever living shit out of shareholders.

$GME CEO Ryan Cohen says GameStop could fund an $EBAY bid with half cash, half stock and “issue stock in order to get the deal done.” Michael Burry says move “makes perfect sense” despite GameStop being worth ~$12B and eBay ~4x larger at ~$46B. I’m literally left speechless after listening to Ryan Cohen explain how he plans to bridge that math in this interview.

@insiderinvests @Tax__Accountant A year ago, I would’ve bet my life that they were going to get those PSUs.

@Tax__Accountant The $35 and $45 PSUs for the executives that expire without vesting were already included in the diluted share count. They have to be taken out

Holy sh*t $SoFi will have a reverse dilution of 6.2 million shares on June 1st

@GovTimWalz Bro what? STFU. Seriously.

Today’s raids by state and federal law enforcement happened because our state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported it. That’s how the system is supposed to work, and our agencies will keep at it as long as there are fraudsters around to put behind bars.

If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

@SawyerMerritt WSJ and Forbes got the memo.

Accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy is pretty philanthropic. Giving low income/rural or disaster/storm hit areas access to high-speed internet via Starlink is pretty philanthropic. Giving disabled people the ability to control computers & robotic arms with their thoughts is pretty philanthropic. @elonmusk's companies are doing more to improve quality of human life than any "charitable" giving from any other billionaire on that list.

Make DOGE great again.
