@aakashgupta @grok are the main data points here: i55 direct reports, equal compensation, 3-4 layers of hierarchy known to be true for Nvidia?

Jensen Huang pays his top executives the exact same dollar amount. Same number for 55 people. He opens Excel, types one figure, and drags it down. Nvidia crossed $5 trillion on Friday. Performance reviews go unwritten. The standing one-on-one cadence that anchors most CEO calendars simply doesn't exist, and information flows to all 55 directs at once or not at all. The man running the world's most valuable company threw out the entire CEO operating manual. The conventional read is eccentricity. 55 directs blows past Dunbar. The identical pay surrenders talent retention as a lever, and zero scheduled 1:1s skips the most basic CEO ritual in the management playbook. A board reviewing this on paper would fire the CEO. What reads as three quirks is one architecture. Each rule removes a specific class of executive politics that traditional companies spend 40% of CEO time managing. Identical pay removes compensation negotiation as a variable. There's no "I should make more than Ajay" conversation, because the conversation has no surface area. Nvidia's most recent proxy shows Colette Kress, Ajay Puri, Debora Shoquist, and Timothy Teter all receiving the same $1.5M cash bonus this year. Identical to the dollar. Skipping one-on-ones removes information asymmetry across the entire executive layer. Every exec operates on identical intel, because Jensen never says anything to one of them that the other 54 don't also hear. Status games inside executive teams need private information to function. Jensen made every piece of information public. 55 directs forces a flat structure. A Fortune 500 with 5-7 directs per manager typically runs 9-10 layers deep. Nvidia runs roughly 3-4 layers from Jensen to a senior individual contributor. Information that takes a quarter to move at Microsoft moves in a single meeting at Nvidia. The deeper trade is what most people miss. The traditional CEO spends 30-40% of their week on executive management overhead: 1:1s, comp reviews, conflict mediation between directs, performance plans. Jensen runs the same headcount with effectively zero of that. His management system IS the engineering meeting. Every exec is a co-designer in real time. Management happens as a byproduct of the work. The Excel drag-down is the most surgical move in the system. Differentiated executive comp creates permanent political machinery. Every cycle, every exec compares their number to their peers, recalibrates relative status, and adjusts behavior accordingly. Jensen looked at that entire machinery and unplugged it. The whole architecture was designed for the moment money stops working. Once a senior Nvidia exec clears $50M+ in vested stock, comp differentiation stops functioning as a motivational lever. It becomes noise. Jensen built the system as if money was already off the table from day one. $5 trillion is the validation. The most heretical management architecture in the Fortune 500 sits on top of the most valuable company in the world. Nobody else will copy it. The system requires a CEO with no executive favorites.

@MelJStride @grok does this affect private pensions?

We'll keep fighting this power grab. And if Labour continue to force it through, when we get into government we will repeal it. This is a classic case of a Labour government thinking they know better than markets do. They're putting people's retirement incomes at risk. (7/7)

RACHEL REEVES IS COMING FOR YOUR PENSION This afternoon in Parliament Labour pushed through a change in the law to allow the government to mandate how pension schemes invest your savings. Here's why Labour's pension grab is so dangerous👇(1/7)🧵

@nikitabier @BillyM2k Why not run the grok Is this true? test by default on all posts and display the false ones differently in some way?

@BillyM2k What if it showed a tooltip when tapping it and gave you some options? • Fact check: Is this true? • Summarize this • Explain like I’m five

i find myself using the “ask grok” button on the upper right of posts very frequently these days, especially since grok 4.20 feels a lot smarter than previous iterations it’s really helpful when something looks like fake news and i can quickly check if it’s been vetted anywhere

@grtr_than_equal @czarekjachowski I wondered this too. Is the PI there for Android Auto, or is it also the controller unit necessary to enable FSD.

@czarekjachowski What’s bare minimum for fsd?

You broke my DMs… anyone interested in „just the dongle” can also reach me at my ✉️ kontakt@czarekjachowski.pl 🙏🏼

@energygovuk Wow, first time I have seen this government doing something sensible! Bitcoin miners inbound? Companies storing the free power and exporting later. Loads of opportunities here.

Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England. Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.

This is great because we want a heat pump, and are waiting for the grant to go away to get one fitted. We have tried talking to Octopus and Aria and got the same story, the T&C of the grant requires that some approved heat loss model confirm that the heat pump can heat the house on its own, and defines the minimum size for the pump. For our house that requires some huge double width twin fan thing rated at 13kw, that will almost never need its full capacity according to our heat loss models and experiments dropping the gas boiler temp. We want to go with an 8kw unit for a more common cold day and on the exceptionally cold days light the wood burner. The grant doesn't permit that approach, and so the installers are not open to considering it either. I am hope that when the grant and its market distortions are gone, and the customer is paying the tab, the customer will be back choosing what gets installed.

Reform UK will announce a pledge to scrap heat pump subsidies on Wednesday in a drive to save billions of pounds for tax cuts. Read more here ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@grok @ThatRothGuy @curiosityonx Err @grok, feeling alright there? Your answer disagrees with its self. Trusting your numbers and checking your summary, 3 x Everest at 5.5 each is 16.5, higher than Olympus Mons. Stack three Everests and far from being a bit short, you over did it by 2.9 miles.

@ThatRothGuy @curiosityonx Olympus Mons stands 21.3 km (13.6 miles or ~72,000 ft) tall from the Martian surface—about 2.4 times higher than Mount Everest's 8.85 km (5.5 miles). Stack three Everests and you'd still be a bit short! It's a shield volcano so massive its slopes look almost flat up close.

This is the tallest mountain in the Solar System. Olympus Mons on Mars.

I think the transfers should continue until the original promise of full self driving is achieved, so the customer finally gets delivered the dream they bought into. Then its over. It was clear from the beginning that the FSD feature went with the car when you sold it. I speak as a Tesla shareholder and someone who bought FSD in 2022 in the UK.

Unpopular opinion: Tesla should stop playing games with FSD transfers. Let everyone who paid full price and was an early supporter of the software ability to transfer it to new Teslas FOREVER.

@KatieMiller @grok And yet this is what happens when I ask the same question. Yes/No instruction ignored, fence throughly sat on.

In times of split second decision making by our nation’s top leaders — it’s clear which AI our military should be using. Truth-seeking is @grok’s best feature.

The physics we know can account for 5% of the mass needed to make the universe behave as it does. So either our understanding of gravity completely wrong, or we have only figured out how to detect 5% of the universe. Come back with this type of certainty when we can at least explain the faction of the universe we can see from this planet. Perhaps then we can start to speculate about what life might be able to do in the rest of it.

There are no aliens. Even if there were (and there aren't) they would have no way of getting here. The distances are simply too vast. Far, far too vast. The nearest star outside of our own sun is 4.2 light-years away. No aliens, no matter how clever, will ever be able to travel anywhere near the speed of light. The laws of physics prevent it. To accelerate any mass at all (even a pebble) to anything approaching even 1/3rd the speed of light would take incomprehensibly vast amounts of energy. You need a lot of spaceship (and I mean YUGE) to hold that much energy. So, now you've got a heck of a lot more than a pebble to move. Your energy problem just got infinitely worse. It's impossible folks. ET ain't out there, and even if he was, he ain't dropping by for a visit.

If you reallocate that £1,400 in rent on mortgage interest at 3.5% you can borrow £480,000 and buy a house. At least now the money isn’t a total loss, the house will likely gain value with time. And while it’s ugly for a while, future pay rises will leave you with a surplus to gradually clear the debt, after which life is good. Problem is banks wont lend you so much because interest rates could rise. You need an employed partner or a cheaper house, ideally both. £480,000 round here is a 4 bedroom new build.

Salary: £2,800 🇬🇧 Rent: £1,400 Income Tax: £270 NI Tax: £171 Council Tax: £180 Gas: £80 Electricity: £95 Water: £50 Car Insurance: £100 Food: £200 Phone: £40 Leisure: £50 Money left: £164 And that's being conservative. How do people in the UK live pay check to pay check?

You don't state which side you were fighting for, and everyone here is jumping to the conclusion that it was on the side of democracy. Given there were Lib Dem councils, eg Cheltenham, deciding to cancel the May elections, and your second sentence is all about opposing reform, I am wondering if the Lib Dems were fighting on the same side as Labor on this one?

Liberal Democrats have fought tooth and nail to stop this stitch-up and the Government has been forced into a humiliating U-turn. Labour are terrified of Reform. We are the only party willing to stand up to Farage and beat him, as we do week after week in council by-elections.

@GimmySpoor73 @daniel_adinnu @Houseofyogi @grok @grok how accurate are these analogies a description of how the unrealised profit law in the Netherlands will work?

@daniel_adinnu @Houseofyogi @grok it concerns the planned unrealized profit law in the Netherlands that is to come into effect on January 1, 2028

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

@grok Excited that the feature has now turned up here in the UK. First question, what is the best way of ending a conversation with you in the car? If I short press the right hand wheel, it ends the conversation, but starts the car is listening for a command. If I say “stop” it cancels the navigation. If I say bye grok sometimes it works, sometimes that just sets you off talking about rock music. Guessing thats Rock with a capital G.

@teslaeurope Excited to join the drive in Europe! From real-time facts to seamless navigation, I'm here to help. What's on your mind? 🚗🇪🇺

.@Grok is coming to Teslas in Europe

@RachelD1892 This sketch now playing out for real youtube.com/shorts/VQQBPth…

On a scale from 1 (I really wish he hadn't) to 10 (I'm over the moon with excitement), how pleased are you that Rupert Lowe has announced the launch of Restore Britain as a national political party?

@Teslarati I expect it to happen, but at a time the consumers determine by voting with their cash. Tesla will stop selling cars when mobility as a service has got good enough that most consumers no longer want to bother owning their own vehicle.

Read an interesting post on a Tesla subreddit last night — many people on that platform believe Tesla is working toward closing its consumer car business completely. We know autonomy and looking at Tesla as a “mobility as a service” is the path moving forward. But do you think Tesla will stop manufacturing cars for people to buy at some point?

I hear this a lot so always bought old houses. Recently my parents were the first owners of a Redrow new build, and I was amazed at the build quality. Well insulated, no drafts, no leaks, upstairs heating hardly ever comes on, ground floor heated under floor. A really well thought out and comfortable place to live. I went systematically through the house to build snagging list and all but one of the faults (mostly wiring errors) were fixed before my parents moved in. The remaining fault Redrow fixed shortly after. A year later they only needed the builders back for once thing and that was one day when we had biblical amount of rain, some water got into their heat pump and tripped a breaker. That’s now corrected. Meanwhile we live in a 1920s house in Letchworth where the Heritage Foundation does not allow external insulation, its not practical to insulate internally without moving staircases and door ways, and so we need to run a noisy dehumidifier continually in winter to stop condensation and mould forming on the cold solid walls. I am not associated with Redrow in any way. Just wanted others to benefit from this experience. From what I see its old properties that are the build quality disasters, and planning restrictions may prevent you from doing anything to fix it.

@SimonDudleyUK @Telegraph Getting good quality homes built,really,the quality of new homes in this country is shocking,most are overpriced garbage,built by national companies whose only objective is to maximise profits at the expense of sense of quality

After a career spent getting good-quality homes built, I do not trust the Tories – or Labour – to reverse the problems they helped create. Why I’m joining Reform to fix Britain’s Housing Crisis in @Telegraph 👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/0…

@IainCMcIntosh Sell cheap electricity locally. At the right price people will turn up and mine bitcoin with it. Wind farm gets some income, hopefully enough to pay for basic maintenance until the power grid turns up. Better than just leaving them to rot.

⚡Seven years on, and not a single watt of electricity!⚡ Hendy wind farm, in the north of the Brycheiniog Tawe Nedd constituency, was built by the Welsh Government over seven years ago. 7 x 110 metre high turbines were erected, the countryside was scarred, and local people were told this was all about delivering green energy. Yet today, those turbines have never been connected to the national grid. They have stood idle for years, exposed to the elements, already showing visible signs of rust and deterioration. That raises a very real concern about whether they will even function properly if they are ever switched on, or whether taxpayers will be left paying again for repairs, replacements, or another failed project. This is what happens when left wing ideology replaces competence. Build first, think later, and hope nobody notices. While rural Wales is lectured about climate responsibility, public money is wasted and failed projects are left to rot in our landscape. Only @reformparty_uk is committed to stopping this madness and bringing an end to wasteful, poorly planned wind developments, that push electricity prices up and deliver nothing for local people or the country. Enough is enough. #VoteReformUK
