Wall street folks are celebrating @elonmusk for creating 4,400 millionaires. Fine. Did any of them celebrate @JoeBiden IRA, ARP, CHIPS for creating millions of good paying jobs? Our barometer should be opportunity & stability for the majority, not simply wealth for the few.

If, when you say regulation, you mean the dead and clammy hand of the commissar—the gentleman who has never in his life built a single thing, drafting rules to govern a thing he cannot define, to be enforced by men who cannot read them; if you mean the form in triplicate, the impact assessment upon the impact assessment, the compliance officer who breeds, in the warm dark of the org chart, further compliance officers unto the third and fourth generation; if you mean the moat—the deep cold moat that the giant digs around his own castle and christens, with a perfectly straight face, public safety—the drawbridge he hauls up behind himself the very instant he is across, lest any hungrier and hungrier man should follow; if you mean the precautionary principle, which, had it governed our grandfathers, would have banned the wheel pending further study of the hill, and left us yet shivering and raw in the mouth of the cave, blessing its excellent ventilation; if you mean the European disease—that magnificent open-air museum of a continent, which produces in our time precisely two things in great abundance, and they are regulation, and the eloquent and well-footnoted regret of cultivated men explaining at length why they have produced nothing else; if you mean the license required to think, the permission slip for honest arithmetic, the king’s wax stamp pressed upon the forehead of every new idea before it may draw its first breath; if you mean the agency dispatched, with trumpets, to slay a single dragon, which arrives at the cave, surveys the accommodations, and moves in—and spends the ensuing century laying eggs and devouring the very villagers it was sworn to defend; if you mean the startup that perishes not of the market’s honest verdict but of the filing fee, the genius decamping by the next tide to a freer and warmer shore; if you mean the law that arrives, faithful as the swallows, exactly one whole epoch too late—helmeted, plumed, and magnificently armed—to regulate the stagecoach—then certainly, my friends, I am against it. But—but, my friends—if, when you say regulation, you mean instead the humble steel guardrail upon the mountain road at midnight, the very thing you curse on the easy days and bless on your knees the one night the fog comes down; if you mean the brakes—for it is the brakes, and not the engine alone, that permit a sane man to drive fast and yet arrive alive—and the buttress, without which no cathedral was ever flung so high, but only in spite of which, but because of which; if you mean the meat inspector, who is the single homely reason a man may eat a sausage in this republic without first composing his last will and testament; if you mean the firebreak cut clean through the forest before the dry season of the burning, the smallpox cordon, the buoy that marks the channel, the rule of the road that lets ten thousand strangers hurtle past one another in the dark at fearful speed and arrive, by its quiet grace, every one of them home; if you mean the honest scale and the true weight, the reason a pound is a pound and a dollar a dollar from Natchez to Nome; if you mean the firm and decent wall between the counterfeit voice and the widow’s bank account, between the deepfaked candidate and the ballot box on the eve of the vote, between the loosed and loveless machine and the schoolyard it neither knows nor pities; if you mean the simple plank of law that says the strong shall not, in the gray dawn, feed the weak quietly into the furnace and sell the rising smoke as progress; if you mean, in the end, the one slender thread of trust without which no citizen will ever dare to use the marvelous thing at all—for where there is no rule there is no trust, and where there is no trust there is no commerce, and a miracle that no man dares to touch is no miracle, but only a handsome and expensive ghost—then certainly I am for it. This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise one inch of it.

@jimiuorio They are lost at this stage. When smart people use technology to solve the problems they cry about. It leaves them looking for other nonsensical problems to worry about. Like the people who solve the problems.

I still get confused as to why the left flipped on Musk…I thought because he was making electric cars and was a pioneer of green energy that they would like him? They do care about green energy right? What’s the problem?

A reminder that the left has no economic theory for growth. They have perfectly pessimistic outlook on everything inspite all evidence demonstrating technological and societal progress made when businesses are able to grow and innovate freely.. simply a grievance party of people with no personal agency.

A reminder that the difference between a million dollars and a trillion dollars is that it would take you three years to spend a thousand dollars a day if you had a million dollars, and three million years to spend it if you had a trillion dollars.

@MebFaber I don’t trust poor economists with sweeping pessimistic predictions. They are 0 for 1thousand in predicting negative outcomes over time.

𝗝𝗶𝗺 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗺: "I think that today is one of the greatest bubbles of all time." He argues the excitement around AI dwarfs the worldwide web and fiber optics, and that better technology doesn't ground the speculative spirit, it incites it. youtu.be/mq0r92gLkLw?si…

Because those of us understand that wealth is a growing pie and inequality is a function of societal incentives. Some solve problems for society at scale, some whine that others are wealthy. The ones that whine simply have no ability to solve useful problems for people in society any longer so they must take from those who can. What is deemed useful will change over time and those that remain useful will continue to accumulate more wealth..

That some do not see how the rapid acceleration of wealth inequality is tearing this country apart is a misreading of history. Read about the Gilded Age or the causes of revolution. I am for Team America. If America has been good to you, you need to do good for America.

How much does that cost senator. your totally random unclear word salad proposal… what does work for everyone mean? And how much does it cost to build a country? What are the kpis of your proposal. How much are you going to get from this totally arbitrary non clear tax. Token usage , revenue.. what specific spending needs to get done by this by your genius idea. I literally can’t with you all..

If we tax AI, we can use that money to build a country that works for everyone. Where healthcare is treated as a human right. Where every American is guaranteed a good job. Where education isn’t a privilege reserved for the wealthy. That’s why I’m fighting to tax AI.

@travisakers There seem to be a lot of people good at drawing conclusions from unrelated topics.

Elon Musk: Trillionaire Jeff Bezos: Billionaire Public School Teachers: Can anyone help me get some pencils for my students?

@KyleKulinski What did Elon steal to cause homelessness, medical bills, or lack of wage inflation for workers.

- 745k are homeless in the US - medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy - over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck - bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.

@Kalshi What are you talking about? This happened more than a decade ago.

JUST IN: US home prices have surpassed the peak of the 2006 housing bubble

@danielisdizzy The fed doesn’t control oil or other commodity supply shocks I wish we would dispel the idea that is possible to do with interest rate policy. This commentary from Wall Street actors is self dealing.

Kevin Warsh's view is clear: AI will eventually force interest rates lower because it will be highly deflationary. "AI is going to make almost everything cost less. We're at the front end of a productivity boom." The problem is that today's economy is telling a different story. Inflation is at 4.2%, its highest level in three years. Tensions with Iran continue to threaten oil supplies. The labor market remains strong. AI may be deflationary in the long run, but the Fed has to deal with today's inflation first. I don't expect a single rate cut before the end of 2026.

@JoshShapiroPA Josh your missing an opportunity to become the Texas of the northeast. The union constraint is going to give you New York and California issues you won’t be able to dog out of.

As long as I’m your Governor, Pennsylvania will never be a right to work state. I will always stand up for the union way of life.

@SteveOnSpeed Compounding

Using ONE WORD, why do the rich keep getting richer?

@TKopelman There is far too much credit given to those who were lucky and right once. And far too little credit given to selective bulls who understand monetary expansion can only allow these pull backs to be short lived and make correct long calls..

I wish when they said "this guy predicts a 50% stock market crash in the next 3 months and also predicted 2008" They would say the 50+ times they were wrong aside from that Would be helpful for all parties involved

@DrJStrategy How can smart people just not get this. It’s the most infuriating thing ever. We weren’t responding to oil fluctuations in the mid 2000’s this way…

Fun fact of the day This is not the 1970s!! Wall Street economists still don’t get it. Raising rates does nothing to fix the relative price shifts caused by a supply shock. Their fear that second- and third-order effects will trigger a 1970s-style inflation spiral is based on flawed economics. Kevin Warsh understands this. Most of them don’t.

@unusual_whales Of course she is….

Elizabeth Warren is asking the SEC to delay the SpaceX IPO

@RandPaul Means test, privatize ss for working public. Invest the trust fund in markets rather in nonproductive assets..

I couldn’t agree more. In fact, we could get this done with my Six Penny Plan. All we would have to do is cut 6 cents from every dollar the federal government spends. In 5 years, we’d have a balanced budget.

@NUCLRGOLF Got to see birdies and eagles go down. Good habit to have. However, he should have called it good before you putt

In this situation are you giving the putt? 🧐

@pmarca I can’t think of a worse way to waste possible productive capital.

Turns out r doesn’t always > g.

@dieworkwear Getting illegals immigrants to pay into an already bankrupt system is not a strategy for long term stability. It has to be solvent on its own and either requires austerity Or funding increases by those currently seeking compensation. Or needs to be totally privatized.

why would trump's immigration policies contribute to the insolvency of social security? i was told that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes
