@ewarren "Could" is the important word here We all know what politicians actually do with taxpayer money Putting more money into the abyss of fraud and waste just doesn't make sense Fix that first

A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue. That could pay for: Universal childcare Millions of new homes Slashing child poverty Medicare for people aged 55+ Universal paid family leave Tuition-free community college And more.

@OnlyKingChrist @heresyfinancial You can be the best rider in the world and all it takes is one wrong move from a bad driver. And how many bad drivers are out there? Millions.

@heresyfinancial Just say you're a bad rider

I learned how to ride a motorcycle on my buddy’s Ducati monster in college After about 15 minutes of practice in his neighborhood, we hopped on the freeway and were doing 85-90 weaving through traffic The adrenaline and freedom was pure euphoria. And I realized in that moment that if I ever bought a bike, I would die on it. I’ve never been on one since.

@milindsathe @elonmusk Best thing to do is probably t9 get a Tesla, connect grok, and then put it on therapy mode and just start talking man Cause this is a lot of anger over insurance premiums lol

@elonmusk Nobody gives a shit. I sold one of my Tesla. Is Tesla taking full Insurance responsibility with FSD yet? Customers like have been generating free AI training data for you while paying premium for insurance. Put that in your first principles bullshit.

FSD 14.3 is in Tesla employee beta now and will probably go to wide release end of week

Asking about attending a party with his wife - and never going Do you do background checks on every single person who ever invited you to a party? Same with Diddy. Of course people would have been excited to be invited to a Diddy party back before it was widespread knowledge - and going to one didn't mean you automatically bathed in laced baby oil and had orgys. Both guys had normal sides with normal social interactions that they used to subtly test if ppl would be interested in their freaky stuff. A general party invite was part of the normal side. Shady stuff would be attending parties then doing lots of extracurricular stuff after that (like flying to the Island constantly and paying weird sums and talking in code, which is what the much more likely guilty people did)

@EdPatisso @ArthurMacwaters Asking to attend a party at a convicted pedos island…and saying for years he refused to go.

i genuinely don't understand how anyone hates Elon the night before flight 4, he was vomiting with stomach ulcers from the stress of crashes, with both SpaceX and Tesla on the brink of bankruptcy he launched it anyway, when 99.9999% of people would've quit. that's bravery. and it reached orbit. now, that same company will have the largest IPO in history. absolutely one of the most inspiring stories

It's not about where it is now It's about where it is on the exponential hockey stick curve of improvement When it hits the "straight up" curve then SEO will soon after be 100% done by AI Personally I think that's 6 months, but I think we're closer than others do to that curve

People trying to fully replace SEO with AI are going to fail miserably. And I will laugh at them when they do. AI can do a lot things. But at the end of the day, it's just a tool. And in order for it to successfully "run" your SEO, the person using it needs to be competent at SEO. Like, it's not going to be able to navigate Google algorithm changes on its own. Or fix technical issues. Or build backlinks, which is 90% of what powers SEO. Not to mention, the SEO landscape literally changes every 6 months. Do you really think you can rely on AI to give you the latest strategies to manipulate search engines? Is AI testing and iterating upon strategies? AI-assisted SEO is a very real concept. Having AI fully do your SEO is idiotic.

@AgentMorpheus_ @elonmusk @grok estimate how much addiction recovery funding our federal/state/city governments pay each year in the US There isn't a lack of funding for this. Addiction isn't a lack of funds issue.

@elonmusk Imagine if that same energy was put into funding addiction recovery programs. Millions of Americans struggling silently. No one offering to pay for that.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

@dan__rosenthal Microsite

I stopped sending text-only outreach to my best prospects. Instead, I built personalized ‘microsites’ using Gamma's API and Clay: Each microsite pulls in the prospect's company colors, logos, ICP research, TAM breakdowns, and a customized proposal with a scheduling link. (and it’s all 100% automated) This way, every prospect sees a custom proposal before we ever get on a call. I documented the full workflow so anyone can set this up: • Clay template for account enrichment (importable) • Gamma API call format for microsite generation • Auto-branding logic for colors and logos • GTM analysis prompt structure • Scheduling link integration Comment "MICROSITE" and I'll send it over. PS - The template is reusable. Once it's set up, you can generate a new microsite for any prospect in minutes.

@LoganARobison @erik_sommerfeld This isn't a trial or even about the truth/fairness. The credit cards have 1 customer and that's the purchaser. They are going to take care of them. You aren't going to stop accepting visa so they have no incentive to take care of you.

@erik_sommerfeld Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

A customer disputed our credit card charge 1 month after leaving a 5-star review.. and won I uploaded the 5-star review and a transcript of the phone call where she was happy and booked again. The bank still sided with the customer How is this possible?

@mikefutia ADS

I just built a $10K/month creative strategist inside Claude Code 🤯 Give it your competitor Facebook page URLs → it scrapes their ads, watches every video with AI, and delivers a data-backed creative brief with 10 ad concepts in your brand voice. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still manually scrolling the Meta Ad Library, screenshotting ads into Google Docs, and guessing at what's working. If you're spending hours every week pulling competitor ads one by one, watching videos to figure out the hook, copying notes into a brief, and rewriting concepts from scratch every time... This system eliminates the entire loop: → Apify scrapes your competitors' active ads from Meta Ad Library (video + image) → Downloads every creative asset locally → Gemini watches each video and analyzes the hook, angle, visual format, copy framework, CTA, and emotional trigger → Runs the full batch and finds the patterns that repeat across 3+ ads → Claude generates 10 ad concepts using the proven mechanics, matched to your brand voice No manually scrolling the Ad Library. No screenshotting ads into docs. No guessing which hooks are actually working. What you get: → Individual creative breakdowns for every competitor ad (7 dimensions each) → A pattern report showing which hooks, formats, and triggers keep repeating → 10 ready-to-brief ad concepts traced back to real competitor data → A reusable system — new competitors, new brief, same pipeline The research that takes your team a full day now runs in 15 minutes for ~$3 in API costs. Built 100% in Claude Code with Apify + Gemini. I put together a full playbook showing you can build the entire thing step-by-step from scratch. Want the playbook for free? > Like this post > Comment "ADS" And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

wtf? Sleeping with my cell phone on my face from now on lol

There are levels to everything Travel teams have exploded so there are a lot Someone who wants to eventually compete at a high level like D1 has to start somewhere Rec ball is fine to start at, but they won't practice enough or face good enough overall competition to improve at the rate needed So there are travel teams that are "rec league" level that are for rec league players to dip their toes into the scene (what your team beat) From there you can work your way up to national type teams (every sport is a bit different) and those high level/national teams are where recruitment happens I do think too many of these layers happen in the travel team side. Ideally there are more rec teams, better players, etc.. so kids reach travel ball after a higher skillset level Personally I'm a huge fan of the overall process though My plan has always been for my kids not to go to college (unless they want to be a Dr - I think it's a waste) so my investment/goal into it has never been about college What it is about is that it's been the absolute best way I've found for my kids to learn extremely important life lessons How to deal with failure and keep going, how daily discipline and practice adds up over time, how to get along with other people you may not like to achieve goals, how to deal with a boss (coach) you don't see eye to eye with, etc.. etc.. Travel sports teach these things infinitely better than schools or screens do and I'm incredibly grateful for it.

Tell me again how clubs, teams, and travel teams aren't scams? My $ 80-per-season son's soccer team beat a $ 5k-per-kid club team. Somewhere along the way, youth sports stopped being about kids and started being about parents. Club sports promise: • better coaching • more exposure • better competition • scholarships But the numbers tell a different story. Only about 1% of high school athletes get a college athletic scholarship. And most of those aren’t even full rides. Meanwhile, families are spending: • $3k–$7k a year on club teams • travel flights • hotels every weekend • private trainers • camps Over 10 years, that’s easily $50k+ per kid. For youth soccer. At 10 years old. Meanwhile, rec sports still do what youth sports were originally meant to do: Kids play with friends. Parents sit in lawn chairs. Everyone grabs pizza after the game. Low pressure. Pure fun. And kids who love the game usually end up getting better anyway. Our $80 rec team proved that last weekend. So I’m curious… Are travel sports actually for the kids…

It's not about where AI is right now. It's about where it's going. Whether it's 1 year or 3 years from now, the roofing company owner in Tennessee can say to their AI "help me run my business better" and it'll make the saas they need in 5 minutes and get to remove that expense line-item. SaaS makes no sense as a business in the future and to not see that will just be another of the great blockbuster vs Netflix type examples.

If you're selling your SaaS stocks because everyone says it's over, watch this first. HubSpot dropped 77% from $850 to $200/share while still doing $3B in revenue. @thesamparr on why the panic is wrong: "Nerds on Twitter are building custom CRMs, but a roofing company in Tennessee? Not happening anytime soon." So maybe the SaaS apocalypse is just a really good sale. @thesamparr @ShaanVP @johncoogan @jordihays

@nickgraynews I haven't worked this many hours in a decade lol

I've talked to a lot of people working in AI with agents, Claude Code, etc One thing I keep hearing that nobody has written about is that many builders have stopped going to the gym The reason is always the same: the perceived opportunity cost of stepping away from their projects feels too high I've noticed it in myself too It's hard to break away when we're all building such cool stuff But I'm typing this from the gym right now And I'll tell you that it feels great You should go exercise if you haven't lately You'll have better energy and better focus Less prompting and more lifting!!

@TechWith_Nova Statics

The biggest detriment to your business caused by chargebacks? The amount of wasted brainpower and energy around them. The best thing you can do is: Put general best practices and processes for preventing and dealing with them in place, write them into the business plan (because they are just going to happen) and then don't spend another minute thinking about them. They cause an emotional response because they don't seem "fair", which causes people to give them way more energy than they should Now go build and sell more and hope you get more - because that means you're glowing

Well, after 5-months in business I am about to get my first chargeback. Apparently some kid stole his fathers credit card and bought $1000 order from me. $3000 from a friends company and another $3000 from another company. Sort of makes me sad... luckily the order hasn't been delivered and we should be able to stop delivery, but now I got to pay the fee most likely.

@ZedNilm1 Glow

$81,300 in tracked sales and the ad never even “looked” like soap marketing it opens with a glowing animated character on a couch casually talking about japanese foods people assume are clean matcha sweets sweet teriyaki sauces packaged “healthy” snacks then the hook hits “that no one ever warns you about…” suddenly it’s about hidden sugars skin flare-ups ingredients your face reacts to no lab coat no before/after no aggressive pitch just a soft, entertaining breakdown by the time the soap shows up the viewer already believes they have a problem the product feels like the natural solution this is why ai storytelling ads are quietly outperforming direct response creatives rt + comment "glow" and i’ll send the full structure (follow for dm)

Waymo and Tesla are solving for different actual problems Because of the difference they will have extremely different ramp arcs Waymo will have logarithmic growth Tesla will have exponential growth (with a regulatory risk caveat) Trying to match their scale charts isn't very helpful There isn't a significant data point to say that an exponential scale isn't still Teslas trajectory

The number of Tesla Robotaxis has now surpassed 400, and the Bay Area is growing rapidly, while Austin is seeing little progress. 8 fully autonomous unsupervised vehicles on SAE Level 5 is growth but more importantly growth without incidents. I expect Austin to make significant leaps once Robocab production ramps up and are delivered. They appear to be ahead of schedule with manufacturing and test them on roads. Overall, we are observing linear, not yet exponential, growth and we all need to be patient. Tesla has had so far great success with its Tobotaxi service launch because there hasn't been a single significant accident or incident. The few reported incidents mainly involved speeds between 1 and 4 mi/h, i.e., gentle parking maneuver touch. There was even one accident where a bus, not a robotaxi, was the cause. So far, everything is going well, and I think we can safely say that we will see the first 1,000 Tesla robotaxis in operation end of March or early in April.

@mikefutia Cowork

Claude Cowork + Meta Ads is absolutely wild 🤯 I built an AI creative system that does what most ad teams can't. Every AI model I tested fell flat on ad creative. Generic hooks, surface-level angles, zero understanding of what actually converts on Meta. Then I got inside Claude Cowork. 12 hours later I had a full system dialed in for paid social creative. Here's what it does: → Analyzes your best ads and tells you exactly why they're winning → Generates fresh angles segmented by buyer awareness level → Writes first lines engineered to stop the scroll on Meta → Builds execution-ready briefs your creative team can run with immediately → Flags when your current ads are going stale and suggests pivots All inside one Claude Cowork workspace. No plugins. No extra tools. Here's who this is for: Brands spending $50K-$500K/month on Meta who are stuck in the same cycle: -> Your creative team keeps testing random ideas -> Your winners eventually die and the replacement process is slow -> Nobody can produce volume fast enough to keep up with the algorithm This system turns a week of creative strategy into a single afternoon. I packaged the whole thing into 50 ready-to-use prompts across 5 categories: -> Winning Ad Analysis -> Angle Generation -> Scroll-Stop Hooks -> Creative Brief Builder -> Ad Refresh & Fatigue Prevention Copy, paste, run.

@rthomas86 What exactly did the Norwegian Judge do? Cause it seems he gave him the highest score of all the judges for this run? (A 99) Fake headlines to get views. Everyone should block/mute accounts like this

Never been done before. Completely nails it. Every other judge thought he had the top performance. Tanked by the Norwegian judge so Norway would win the gold. Very similar to how the French judge tanked Chock and Bates so France could win gold. Disgusting to steal a gold medal with corrupt judges. Seriously, the IOC needs to investigate this.

Making it to MLB doesn't matter The main alternative for kids is doom scrolling, partying, and all the influences that come from public school systems This kids learning about hard work, how to handle failure, that small daily tasks slowly build to big gains, etc.. There is definitely over training, crazy parents, and money grabs in youth sports, but I think it's still way better than the normal non sports youth lifestyle

@drantbradley I can feel that deltoid insertion tear in about 3 years. I ran the numbers on kids getting into the MLB, less than .01% of high school baseball players ever make it to the Major League. This is a waste of time and money and needless wear and tear on a developing body.

This is the kind of nonsense baseball training we have kids doing these days and making pediatric surgeons rich in the process…
