@ponygirl923 @saylordocs That’s the point sweetheart. It’s not their money.

@saylordocs WTAF? Who the fuck does this government think it is to tell folks how they can or can't spend their own goddamn money?! Punishing the poor for absolutely no reason. This is just stupid and cruel.

@BTCtreasuries @PunterJeff Ponzi schemes have reinsurance in the event of a catastrophic event? Cool.

JUST IN: Strive's Jeff Walton (@PunterJeff) responds to Coffeezilla calling $STRC a Ponzi scheme.
"The difference between a Ponzi scheme and a capital management vehicle is that a Ponzi scheme doesn't have reserves. A capital management vehicle does."
"Almost 100% of insurance claims paid out are funded by premiums they collect. Does that make an insurance company a Ponzi scheme?"

@grant_melson @toly You’d think he’d try to do something like ensure the long-term survival of the species or something.

Can’t believe this guy’s goal is to hoard a $10T net worth.
I would think with all that wealth, he would use it to help people more.
Like ending deaths in car accidents, or providing affordable transport for everyone, or offering internet to isolated people groups or something.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth. "$10T or bust"

@ns123abc Must be hard for lawyers knowing they’re not the smartest person in the room this time.

🚨 Musk vs OpenAI's lawyer — the cross-examination exchanges
William Savitt — Wachtell Lipton's lead defense lawyer, Supreme Court clerk, trained to break witnesses.
Savitt opens with a misleading premise.
Musk: "You're being misleading. What you're saying is false."
Savitt tries again with a different loaded frame.
Musk: "Your questions are not simple. They are designed to trick me."
Savitt demands a yes or no answer to a complicated question.
Musk: "If you ask a question where there is no possible simple answer, I must give a longer answer because any simple answer would be misleading the jury."
Musk reaches for an analogy: "The classic answer to a yes or no question is not so simple. For example, if you ask the question 'will you stop beating your wife?'..."
Judge Gonzalez Rogers cuts him off: "No, we're not gonna go there."
The courtroom laughs.
Savitt apologizes for the question.
Musk: "I find it funny you saying it wasn't an unfair question since you're only asking unfair questions."
Savitt: "I'm doing my best."
Musk: "That is not true."
OpenAI's lawyer came to break Musk.
Musk wasn't having it.

@BrandiKruse Is it just me or does she look just like the woman in New York that Mamdani has at his side? It’s like their ideology is genetic.

When people like you say misogyny what you’re really referring to is being on a level playing field and not liking what that feels like. It’s not misogyny, it’s called equity and it’s what feminists have been fighting for. You just don’t like how it looks or feels. Welcome to the world men live in.

My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked. Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior.
But that is the problem. Because when that level of disrespect from the highest office in the country repeats itself, it starts to trickle down into our culture and define what power looks like, shaping how boys and plenty of men see women and girls and what they come to accept as normal behavior.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

@TheMarcitect @elonmusk @aaronburnett There it is. Took a little bit of scrolling this time before I found the “solve the homelessness” guy. But here you are!

@elonmusk @aaronburnett I think solving poverty first would profoundly affect the destiny of humanity. Just my two cents.

I find most investors to have binary beliefs on Starship.
Either completely assume it’s solved or act as if starship is effectively just R&D. In either case, they hand wave the hard work of Starship and booster teams.
Follow this video and you’ll have a renewed appreciation for how much has gone into this project, and why we have confidence they will begin to scale and reuse sooner than later, even though there is still work to be done and milestones to achieve.
SpaceX@SpaceX
Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

@chamath Left leaning people are more self aware. MAGA people say they’re mentally healthy then go do a mass shooting.

@APompliano @athenaeumbc Sort of insane until you understand that almost 50 million Americans are under age 11. Then take migrants into account and you a very different interpretation of these numbers.

@omgsidewalks Have children when you're ready. And when you do try to be present in every moment. Stay off your phone. It goes fast and you don't get that time back. Don't miss it.

• Lesbian (female same-sex) couples tend to have the highest dissolution rates.
• Heterosexual (different-sex) couples are in the middle.
• Gay male (male same-sex) couples have the lowest.
It’s almost like the data is telling us that divorce rates are directly proportional to the number of women in the relationship
I’m gonna get in trouble for this one…
