@nntaleb Modern evangelical protestantism is broken is broken into a few groups by practice, with nearly half focused on the person of the Holy Spirit, and the other half what is deliberately called Christocentrism. "Fix you gaze on the author and perfector of your faith etc."

THEOLOGY DUJOUR Sunni Islam is a lot about God Shia Islam is a lot about Ali Apostolic Christianity (Catholicism & Orthodoxy) is a lot about Mary Mother of God Evangelical Protestantism is mostly about Jesus Christ

@ianbremmer I seem to recall something Elon always says, the most ironic outcome is usually the most likely. Fate loves irony.

well this would be exciting…

@elonmusk @KanekoaTheGreat Basically the logic is horrible, as someone else pointed out, it would mean the U.S. is on the hook for trillions in aid to the rest of the world for "preventable" deaths

@KanekoaTheGreat Given that there is an inverse correlation between USAID funding and malaria deaths, therefore, by their logic, cutting USAID funding saves lives!

These are false projections based on a deeply flawed methodology. The Lancet paper found a correlation between USAID spending and lower mortality rates. It did not prove that USAID spending directly caused those outcomes. The authors then assumed causation and reversed the relationship to estimate future deaths from funding cuts. Correlation does not equal causation. This is taught in middle school. You're obviously smart enough to understand that. You've managed to make 9-figures in the stock market while serving in Congress. So why are you promoting a fraudulent model to smear Elon Musk as a mass murderer?

@RoKhanna Could lead to a sharp increase in preventable deaths.... Uh, why not use that logic to say the American Tax payers should be on the hook for >$1T in USAID funds to all foreign countries because it'd lead to a "sharp decrease in preventable deaths".... lmao.

@ianbremmer They aren't willing to put boots on the ground (in Iran). That's really the end of the story, and 12 Americans died to mow their grass, and some $80B worth of hardware that could have defended against ICBMs not MRBM's. Great. If they were, then it could succeed.

92% of israelis say they believe iran won the us/israel war against them (poll: hebrew u)

@ryangrim I think taxing margin loans (with conditions) is the solution. Billionaires themselves have proposed it. It stops the "crowding out effect" on housing as well.

If they don’t like this we can also tax the loans they take out against their unrealized gains. Actually we can do both.

There are a lot of billionaires on this app who are obviously quite adept at making money, yet pretend they don't understand finance when it comes to the topic of a wealth tax. It's impossible! It's too complicated! We'd love to do it but it's unworkable! This is silly. Our financial industry has figured out how to turn the most abstract concepts into concrete financial products that can be traded in markets. We can obviously do this. Let's say we have an annual 1% wealth tax. It could easily work like this: Your shares in SpaceX or whatever are locked up and illiquid? Fine, just pay with 1% of those shares. No need to sell. You can easily create a financial product that is tied to those shares. Billionaires say they are afraid that they will have to pay a wealth tax on their assets and then their asset prices will go down, and they'll have paid a tax on wealth they no longer have. Fair enough! Just pay the tax with the shares themselves. If the price goes down, the government eats it, and you're no worse off. What about an asset like a Picasso? Easy. You create a derivative product that is worth 1% of your Picasso when it is eventually sold. Before it's sold, the government can sell that product into a market and exchange it for cash, or hold it. What the govt would obviously do is create Billionaire Asset Backed Securities and sell them as financial products just like we do with mortgage-backed securities or any other asset-backed securities. Derivatives are not new. The current problem we have is that billionaires own way too many assets in terms of homes and everything else. Because those assets themselves produce new income, they have to then buy more assets with that new income, which increases their price and endlessly crowds out the ability of normal people to own anything ever. That's why they tell you you will own nothing and be happy. They're certain of the former, don't care about the latter. If regular people are ever going to get back into owning homes or other assets, billionaires cannot continue hoarding them all. Quite obviously, a wealth tax is quite workable. The problem is billionaires just don't like it.

@policytensor Anti-Drone weaponry is on the horizon. Drone asymmetry will be like shooting a 7.62 at a naval hull at that time with ultra fast automated fire control systems

People are starting to get it. “For the foreseeable future, the projection of U.S. power will no longer be as ominous as it once was—not just in the Middle East, but in the Indo-Pacific and Europe as well. Thanks to the war, even a severely weakened Iran has now become a significant geopolitical player—one that will soon reap new financial windfalls. The regime in Tehran has established its legitimacy over 47 years of existence largely by adopting a martial everybody-is-against-us mentality; now it can boast that it has successfully stood down the global and regional superpowers. And because of Tehran’s continuing ability to control the Strait of Hormuz and use it to extract concessions from Washington and the Gulf nations, Iran also enjoys leverage that it never had before over the region and the global economy.” — @michaelphirsh foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/18/ira…

@WeTheBrandon I mean, this isn't unfixable, they should retrofit the deck...lots of materials can be used.

Meanwhile, the $13 billion USS Gerald R. Ford, the newest “most advanced” aircraft carrier in the US fleet (indeed, the world), still can’t launch the Navy’s F-35C because the designers made a grave error when building the flight deck, which now melts under the heat from F-35s

@nicksortor @elonmusk Did he say my friend Leon in a Freudian slip? Like Leon Black from Epstein Files?

🚨 NOW: President Trump gives a shoutout to @ElonMusk for outfitting the new Air Force One with STARLINK "We have communication equipment up there that's NOBODY'S ever seen before! It's the highest level. Including Starlink! My friend Elon is going to be VERY happy."

@AndrewCurran_ Just a note for everyone who keeps saying how could they ship this without anyone knowing. Easy, they label it as another plasma device and ship it. It's ridiculous that this is even a question.

@AndrewCurran_ The biggest issue is the light source. If they get their hands on the light source it would suck. Optics second.

ASML denies these reports.

@jietang @elonmusk @teortaxesTex

@elonmusk @teortaxesTex focus is all we need, in particular focus on what intelligence truly is…

I think GLM 5.2 points to a 7 months gap currently It's around Opus 4.7-4.8 level, all told (modulo vision which in Opus's case is garbage anyway). Mythos reached Preview status (≥ Opus 4.8, functionally) by early Feb 2026. This means full PRC Mythos ("Fable") by Nov-Dec'26.

@hamandcheese @howardlutnick Check for the safety report at NIST

This is literally CAISI's job

ASML’s “we have never shipped an EUV machine to China” is telling on itself. Total lawyer answer. They know a decommissioned machine slipped through, at tremendous cost to American national security.

@Scintigraphiste @LibertyTemen I mean you can't compare depth resolution of a CT with a noisy ultrasound. You can get a low res body scan with zero radiation dose. The AI model can interpret a low res scan better than humans and adds value etc. How much is to be seen.

@LibertyTemen Nope. Under a million. And it's an old ct-scan here : we can do better now.

À gauche, les images révolutionnaires qu'ils annoncent. À droite un scanner banal.

@Cernovich @r_caliburn It used to basically be wholly Christian until the Palestinian refugee influx in the 1970's.

@r_caliburn Yeah.

I talked to the church people,and they are pro Israel. Not dispensationalists but pro-Israel. The bombing of Lebanon keeps coming up, and it’s absolutely changing sentiment rapidly.

@Cernovich Detroit is not bad, and Dearborn is not bad either, lots of cool cafe's and all the fear mongering about the city is B.S.

Doing free tourism for Detroit. Really am impressed. Architecture, history, steak houses. “Decline a choice.” So too is revival.

Yeah, this ... this is how you end up in a lot of trouble.

@Jason @AnthropicAI @jason, this is one of your worse takes. Standard poor practices don't translate into miracle guardrails against IP theft.

It’s completely normal for a company like @AnthropicAI to monitor use of a product in limited release to make sure it’s not being abused This isn’t a privacy issue as some partisans claim 🙄 — it’s standard practice Here’s the backstory: This administration HATES anthropic winning because a) it’s backed by @reidhoffman (who backed the lawfare against POTUS), and b) because @DarioAmodei didn’t go to all the President’s CEO events (which was a mistake on Dario’s park IMO). Everyone on the inside understands this. Now you know. 🌈

@che_shr_cat Okay I see this is mostly a review paper glorifying continuous latent space (which was rightly recognized last year as one of the most important papers)

@LordoftheMounts Table 1 from the paper is the answer.

1/ Standard transformers have a fundamental topological flaw: they cannot track dynamic states over time without running out of layers. Once a state representation reaches the top layer of the feedforward stack, the model's ability to update its belief collapses. 🧵
