FSD drives 1 second interval behind a car on the freeway at 75. System considers this safe. I’m white knuckled clicking down to chill just to get it to back off a little.
Me , all alone in the canyons carving turns staying in the lane. Safety score hit for excessive turning.
Me , driving slightly under 2 second interval behind cars going 35 mph. Safety score hit for unsafe following.

@congressdj @jchybow @elonmusk Tesla insurance is great if your manual driving is only in parking lots. I have somehow maintained a 100 on my cars but I don’t drive. It’s a bitch to maintain it though

Dumping Tesla insurance after 3 months. It has increased 48% in that time, based on <30 minutes of manual driving (mostly map-related disengagements) in 3000 miles. It now exceeds GEICO (which we left) even with 16 year old son. So disappointed. @elonmusk you gotta fix this, man.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sen. Mike Lee has MIC DROP MOMENT on the Senate floor
"That voting is a constitutionally protected right in NO way, shape, or form means that we have to make it easy to vote and SCREW THE REST! Let's let them cheat? That's NOT a rational conclusion..."
"...UNLESS of course your objective is to facilitate non-citizen fraudulent voting in our elections to the disenfranchisement of actual American citizens who are there to vote!"
"This is NOT a victimless crime, and SHAME on my colleagues for suggesting otherwise."

@mitchellvii Have you watched samcrac on YouTube ? He has worked on these BMWs so many times on his channel bring them back to life. Check him out

Well, I dropped a thousand bucks getting all new spark plugs and ignition coils on my BMW 650.
I was hoping this would fix the drivetrain error and the fact that the thing is in "limp mode." That means at low speed, it chugs like it's gonna die.
The mechanic told me that he was also seeing some errors with the high pressure fuel valves. Apparently, these are something that causes the engine to spray fuel into the motor at high pressures to deal with the turbo and all that.
Anyway, long story short, fixing the plugs and the coils didn't solve the problem. Now I've got to drop another $1,500 on the fuel valves.
So now I'm into this thing for about $2,500. 😥
That's the problem with these eight-cylinder twin turbo engines. It's just a matter of time before they COST you.
It's too bad because I was planning to sell this car and get something newer, but now I have to do the repairs first, because nobody's going to buy it chugging down the street.

@Rothmus Taken out by a Tesla no less , see FSD is dangerous 😂

Why I spend time on X when it looks like I already have everything?
I ask myself the same question every day. More than you can imagine.
Even right now, typing this, I’m thinking what am I doing here.
I opened this account when Elon bought Twitter. It was at the same time my life was getting turned upside down. Raids. Threats. The government coming after me. The possibility of losing everything, including time with my kids, which is the only thing that actually matters to me.
I opened the account because as a businessman I knew that having a personal brand under Elon would be powerful but also to have a voice.
This is the only social media I have. My wife has none. My kids don’t have it either. We are not just blocking it, we are teaching them why they should not want it.
So far, they don’t. They mock it.
I came here to talk about organic baby formula.
Instead I ended up talking about being a better father. Being a better man. Cutting alcohol. Cutting weed. Getting in shape. Thinking clearly, and leading a righteous life.
Somewhere along the way I realized there are a lot of people out there who just need direction. My DMs are full of it. Men who changed their lives. Women sharing my posts with their husbands. People who were lost and found something in what I was saying.
I don’t even fully understand why it resonates, but it does. Where I come from, this is how we are, I didn’t realize so many men needed father figures and others were simply lost or needing a new network of like minded brothers.
So every time I want to leave, I read messages. And every time I read those messages, I remember why I’m here.
Because I’ll be honest, a lot of days I don’t want to be, even right now, I’m forcing this, because I know I had unanswered questions from friend like yourself, so you ate inspiring me.
Days like yesterday, hearing things, seeing how this all plays out, makes me question everything. Makes me wonder what the purpose of any of this is.
Then I go back to the same answer.
I’m here to help people.
It’s the same reason I got myself into trouble in the first place. I could have shut things down and walked away. I didn’t. I wanted to help. I thought I could make a difference, especially for babies. That mindset cost me.
And somehow, I’m still doing the same thing here.
So yeah, maybe I don’t fully have the answer.
But I know this much.
If even a handful of people become better fathers, better husbands, stronger, clearer, more disciplined because of something I said, then it’s worth it.
Why I call it one at a time.

@realpeteyb123 You have it all, why spend any time on here at all?

The reporter's question had an embedded assumption baked into it. That Trump owed Japan an explanation. That he was on the defensive. The entire question was a frame designed to put Trump in a submissive position. Most politicians would have answered inside that frame. Trump demolished it.
This is called a frame collapse. You cannot win inside someone else's frame. The only winning move is to destroy the frame entirely and rebuild the room on your terms. By invoking Pearl Harbor, Trump reversed the power dynamic completely. The questioner became the questioned in one sentence.
The laughter you heard was not just amusement. It was the sound of every brain in the room simultaneously rebooting. That is pattern interruption. When something completely unexpected fires, the brain suspends its critical filter for half a second. In that gap, the new frame installs before anyone can resist it.
Four techniques. Four seconds. Frame collapse. Pattern interruption. Emotional anchoring. Delivery calibration. There will never be another Trump because what you just watched is 50 years of negotiation, television, and salesmanship compressed into a single instant response.
Full breakdown on the Substack!

I negotiated with UCLA health for an outrageous bill of $6500 for 5 stitches and 3 x rays for a deep laceration. The hospital wouldn’t budge but the doctors did negotiate down for me which I appreciated because of how ridiculous my care was. They couldn’t see me for over 3 hours because they were seeing all these people for chronic conditions who get seen for free. Finally they wheeled me into the hallway and did the stitches with a headlamp on a stool.

Nearly a year ago, my wife went to the hospital for stomach pain. They did a CT Scan of her abdomen and thankfully didn't find anything serious.
We got a bill in the mail of $9,117.42
I spent months talking to insurance, the hospital, billing appeals...
I was told the claim was still processing.
I was told the claim was out of the normal service area.
I was told it wasn't clear it was medically necessary.
I was told the insurance wasn't valid on the date of service.
Finally, we got it handled, but it took well over 6 months from the day we got the first bill to the day we finished the process and paid.
We did everything right. We have insurance. We pay our insanely high premiums every single month.
It's just so frustrating.
This whole healthcare system is broken, from top to bottom.

@realpeteyb123 Considering how many follower you have , you clearly aren’t playing a game to attract views because of how little engagement I’m seeing on your posts.

Trending for good reason.
We all want accountability.
Will we ever get it?
Thank you @RepChipRoy for authoring the LIABLE bill to repeal the PREP Act.

@VigilantFox It’s not cash. If his companies fail , he owns nothing. He doesn’t sell because he vested in having voting shares to steer the board of directors and corporate policies. He believes in his work.

Bill Maher’s rich guests look like deer in headlights when he asks what the solution is to Elon Musk becoming worth 2.7% of the U.S. GDP.
MAHER: “Forbes came out this week with their richest list.”
“Musk - $840 billion.”
“What should we do when people have this much money?”
“I know communism doesn’t work, and neither does advanced socialism. But what we have now, I can’t make the case that’s working either.”
“What is the answer to this income inequality problem that we have?”
Anthony Scaramucci and Lloyd Blankfein stare at each other with the look that says: “You wanna try and answer this question?”
MAHER: “Next question.”

@realpeteyb123 @Savsays I took 3mg tabs and broke them into 1mg pieces and even that kinda jacked me up. I wasn’t that impressed with my thoughts or energy levels.

@realpeteyb123 Wow Peter, you have been busy the past decade. I’m glad you came through it okay

Remember when Airbnb threw me off their platform and called me a racist?
Even though I had a 4.9+ rating and over 200 reviews?
I do, and so should you.
This is why you should always vote and never let the democrats win the midterms.
Here’s a story…
Today I logged into my old Airbnb account for shits & giggles.
This screenshot popped up.
It’s still so pathetic to me, and scary to everyone.
Airbnb banned me across their entire platform.
$100k plus in bookings wiped out overnight. They didn’t care if I needed that money, thankfully I’ve done well in life and didn’t.
They are dirty, and the employee at the time Jamaal decided he had power fans being the true racist he banned me.
Worse…
They even canceled a bride who was staying at one of my oceanfront properties the day before her wedding!!
I had to hunt her down myself because Airbnb locked me out of my own account and I could not even access her contact info to save her wedding weekend. What a disaster.
Airbnb did not care.
Gets worse…Here is the insane part.
My Airbnb account was never connected to my X account.
All they had was a first name and a profile photo that looked similar.
That was enough for them the true racists. They had the white conservative male to take down.
They never audited my hosting record because if they did they would have seen I never declined or canceled a single booking based on race or ethnicity.
NOT ONCE!
Why did they ban me?
Cause I was talking on X about how Black Americans were throwing parties and destroying homes and neighbors were furious.
Because of that, I had to take down the instabook feature and ask questions.
My only “crime” was asking guests if they planned on throwing parties during COVID.
Every Airbnb host in America knows exactly what that meant, and who was throwing these parties.
And yes, it was not the Amish throwing those raging party house bookings.
So remember who these companies are. Why elections matter.
They will wipe out your livelihood over politics without even checking the facts.
Elon and team reached out to sue Airbnb but ultimately we decided it wasn’t worth the time, effort and cost.
I took it as a badge of honor.
Many people found me because of that, and many still ask me about it when we meet.
That was my ROI.
But again, elections matter…
Keep that in mind when people tell you mid-terms matter.
