When the Last Tree Is Cut Down, the Last Fish Eaten, and the Last Stream Poisoned, You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money. (Proverb Abenaki)


Sen. Ron Johnson just shattered the lie that the Covid shots “saved 3 million lives.” “It’s farcical.” “In 2019, before the pandemic, there were 2.85 million deaths in America.” “The year of the pandemic shot up to 3.4 [million].” “2021 was the year of the vaccine.” “If [the vaccine] really was gonna end the pandemic, you would think we’d come down back toward that normalized baseline.” “We didn’t.” “We went to 3.5 million.” “The next year, we came down a little bit to 3.3 [million], but we’re still way above the normalized rate of deaths.” “They’re claiming in this Commonwealth Fund study that the vaccine saved 3 million lives in both 2021 and 2022.” “In order [for] that to be true, you’d have to assume we were going to have 5 million deaths per year in both 2021, 2022.” “I don’t need a… sophisticated mathematical analysis to just show there’s no way the injection saved 3 million lives in 2021 and 2022.” @SenRonJohnson

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
