@XFreeze Yep.

MrBeast just gave one of the strongest endorsements possible for Starlink: “I will only book flights exclusively on planes with Starlink. I don’t care if it means an extra layover - I’ll sit in the back of the plane if it gives me Starlink.” He says Starlink has become the backbone of his global productions and travels because it works in places where traditional internet simply doesn’t exist: • Filming in Antarctica - one of the only reliable ways to stay connected • Building wells deep in rural Africa with full internet access hours away from cities • Driving through remote villages and open fields with a Starlink dish mounted on the vehicle while maintaining signal the entire time He described it as: “Starlink is literally magic. It makes no sense.” Now people are actively choosing flights based on whether the plane has Starlink onboard

@SocialtyPro What a corny, ai written, LinkedIn post about another grown man.

Alex Hormozi deleted his Tony Robbins interview off YouTube. Think about that. He sat across from the biggest name in personal development in history. The guy who's been doing this since Hormozi was in diapers. And the interview was good. It humanized him. Made him feel less like a content machine and more like a guy still figuring things out. So he deleted it. Because his ego couldn't handle looking like a student. Couldn't handle Tony being the bigger name in the room. Couldn't handle not being the smartest guy on the thumbnail. This is the disease of guys who get rich too fast. They start believing their own highlight reel. Every interview becomes a performance. Every podcast a power move. Tony didn't need that interview. Alex did. And the second it didn't make him look like the alpha, it got memory-holed. The irony? That interview made him more likeable than 100 of his own videos ever did. People don't connect with the guy who has all the answers. They connect with the guy still asking questions. Ego is the most expensive thing you'll ever own. And Alex just paid full price.

@YacineSibous Legend. Next chapter

Well, that was a crazy turn of events. Three weeks ago, I thought Parker was going to be acquired in a deal worth nearly $90M. Yesterday, we filed for Chapter 7. I spent most of my twenties building Parker. We went from an idea in YC to processing over $1B in annualized volume, pioneered products that became standard across fintech, and built something I believed could last for decades. And now it’s over. I know there’s going to be speculation about why Parker failed, but a lot of what’s being said online is simply not accurate. Over the last few years, we faced leadership turnover, a much tougher market, slowing growth, and the realities of trying to scale a venture-backed business after momentum fades. Earlier this year, we decided the best path forward was to pursue a sale of the business. We ran a process and spent months working toward a potential acquisition that ultimately did not close. After that, things moved quickly. The hardest part is the impact on the people involved: •Customers dealing with disruption •Employees losing jobs they worked hard for •Investors who believed in us losing money What I am proud of is the team. Parker was built by incredibly talented people who deserved a better outcome than this. Helping them land somewhere great is my top priority right now. If you’re hiring operators, engineers, designers, finance, credit, or growth talent, please reach out. To everyone who believed in Parker over the years: thank you.

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

@HHShkMohd Legends.

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems. AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency. This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work. We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government. Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution. The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

@andrewjiang @KenWattana Who’s workshop

@KenWattana a lot of room for improvement she says but each person paid $300 to be there, so that's $2M+ of revenue for that workshop co

my wife is sitting in a "Claude Code for your business" workshop and there are 7k+ business owners in it 🤯

@JoshuaKushner @johncoogan KUSH!!!

We are honored to welcome Bob Iger back to Thrive. Bob leads with boldness and conviction because he knows what he is building and why. He is rejoining Thrive at a time when that kind of leadership matters most. We are living through the most consequential technology shift of our lifetimes, where AI will democratize access to intelligence in the way the internet democratized access to information. The companies that matter most will not just deploy the most advanced technology. They will understand what their customers truly want and place human judgment, taste, and craft at the center of what they build. Few people understand this as profoundly as Bob does. He has spent his career proving the things that feel the most human can also be the most eternal. Just as important, Bob embodies one of the firm’s core values; it is not just the business that we do, but how we do our business that will ultimately define our impact. We are deeply grateful to have him back and look forward to building together.

@mikawl_lim @owner Amazing opportunity for cracked creatives

Everyone in 2026: “i replaced my entire team with AI agents” Our Company: “we’re hiring for 56 open roles” So the last brand I led grew from 500,000 -> 15,000,000+ followers in 2 years. And I’m hiring a dream team to run it back. (link to apply in the comments 👇 ) @owner is growing quickly and hiring across every department. Within media, we're building out all platforms.  Short-form, YouTube, paid ads, carousels and written content. So why join us? Most content today is making the world dumber. Somehow the number 67 has become a meme. Gen A doomscrolls for emotional regulation  We worship influencers flaunting rented supercars for views. At Owner, we’re using the same algorithms to actually help people. A couple weeks ago, we gained 16,000 followers from a single video about pricing catering orders. Information-dense posts like this are why our brand has grown 5x since last year. Small business owners, especially the ones running mom and pop restaurants, are hungry for knowledge.  A single video can save someone from a mistake that costs them an entire month of profit. It's the most fulfilling work I've done as a creative. Because helping people achieve the American dream just hits different than getting a million views on a reaction clip to Justin’s Coachella performance (Sorry to all the Beliebers out there) So that's Owner's mission And I want you to be a part of it! We're investing in a world-class content team to get the word out as fast as possible. If you know how to make stuff people watch, share, and take action on… Apply to any open role through the custom site linked below

@drgurner thank you Dr. gurner ❤️

@MrFourToEight Nice...CONGRATULATIONS to you both!!

@BijanTehrani @Club @henrikpohlmann @StakeEddie Yes Bijan!!!

We haven't launched anything new in a few years. Our other brands have kept us busy. @Club is something we've been building quietly and are stoked to finally reveal!! Creators make money when they're live but the second they go offline the connection with their audience slows. Club changes that. An invite-only platform where creators can post content, drop exclusives, DM their biggest supporters and actually earn from all of it through Club Cash. Club isn't a replacement for streaming or X. It's the layer that was missing. Rolling out early access now! 🔥

Very well said on the current state of social media and content creation

@gannonbreslin @quinnslcm Gannon, I quite often see you chirping in about something related to Shelby. Last comment was about an open suit, the time before was commentary on a TikTok thread about her business. Why is that? Curious.

@quinnslcm @MrFourToEight his business partner posts like 10x a day (she sells), this advice works in specific use cases but not all
