@girdley I did Esthetic hair. Had personal recommendations. It’s itchy as hell for 10 days, but great results. I think was about $4k for 4k graphs.

@UpchurchSam Which one is your favorite?

PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm officially hair-maxxing. My story: I started balding about 10 years ago. I finally tired of not having hair, so I'm doing something about it. Today, I'm boarding a flight from Houston to Istanbul to meet the famous Dr. Isray Yılmaz for hair implants. If you have any advice for me, please put it in the replies. I'm going to live-tweet the experience here. Stay tuned. Istanbul here I come!

@mcuban The question is who are we paying under single payer? I bet we could cut healthcare cost by 50% by going to cash pay backed by government guaranteed loans with repayment deducted like payroll taxes. Fraud would go down dramatically.

Let me help rephrase for you Bernie. Need a loan for college so you can party for a semester and drop out? Taxpayers will loan you money for it. Need an SBA loan for your business ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. For a house ? Taxpayers will guarantee it. And local gov will give you money for your first down payment ! Get sick or are in an accident and you can’t afford your deductible, insurance company denied prescribed care or are uninsured ? You are on your own 😤 Let me add Bernie, the one debt not a single one of us will ever pay off till the day we die ? Our health insurance premiums And before you go in and on about single payer, ask @claudeai to take a look at your proposed Single Payer legislation. You want the Sec of HHS to run it. You can’t have a political appointee run an apolitical position And you expect every provider and doctor to accept whatever rate is set by Medicare. Big hospitals don’t know their costs. They couldn’t do a BOM for any procedure. They have negligible transparency. If they don’t know their costs, and you don’t know their costs, how is it possible for taxpayers, caregivers and patients to get a fair deal ? And the concept of “every other country does it “ ignores the fact that they all converted decades and decades ago, long before you and your peers allowed the extreme vertical integration we face now. Which leads to the question. @BernieSanders , why have you not advocated for the Break Up Big Medicine Bill ?

@EricLDaugh Need to go back to privatized airport security - let the airlines run it, or have perpetual funding from the security fee we pay with our tickets.

🚨 BREAKING: Chuck Schumer has unleashed HISTORIC CHAOS in airports by shutting down DHS - Nearly 33% of TSA officers are WALKING OFF THE JOB at major airports - Over 10% of TSA officers have CALLED OUT - TSA lines are hours long and GETTING WORSE This is utter turmoil. NUKE THE FILIBUSTER! Airports are about to shut down if DHS stays closed. @RapidResponse47

@ClintFiore Peptides!

Guess the Industry: $40M Revenue, $30M EBITDA

@Teslarati I wish it had a learn mode for backing into my driveway or parking in my parking garage at the office.

@isaacfrench_ @RobertMSterling Prayers

If you are a praying person, would you please say a prayer for our cousin Nathan right now? His family lives in Montana, just got word of a drowning incident. He is still alive but barely. Same age as our little Lucas 🙏💔

@GrulkeLamonte Salt, pepper and coffee in even amounts.

I need some recommendations for steak seasonings. What’s your go-to?

@ClintFiore @TRUmav @EricTopol Where do you get yours?

@TRUmav @EricTopol yes I'm well familiar with the upsides and super sold on them. I'm all in.

Has anyone in the USA died from taking peptides yet? (like the actual correct thing they thought they were taking, not something that was a counterfeit or mistake)

@NotHoodlum @costplusdrugs The difference is costplus is generic whereas TrumpRX are not and still under patent protection.

Use Mark Cuban’s @costplusdrugs, not the TrumpRx scam. TrumpRx has 43 prescriptions, Cost Plus has over 2,500. One example is Protonix (pantoprazole): $200.10 on TrumpRx vs. $6.07 on Cost Plus.

@WallStreetApes FDR told LBJ, you dont turn in your votes until you know how many you need to win.

WOW 🚨 Minneapolis pre-prints ballots and the Minnesota Secretary of State holds election certification until they know how many ballots they need to run through to keep the state Democrat “That they are pre-printing these ballots and Minneapolis is also always the last to report because the statewide elections are all stolen in Minneapolis So they wait to see, okay, did we get all the votes from the outlying rural areas? Because Minnesota is basically a red state, believe it or not. But once we know what that vote total is, Steve Simon, the Democrat Secretary of State in Minnesota, then he makes sure that they hold everything up. They don't certify anything until the Minneapolis votes come in. And they say, how many do we need? And then they put that many in. And then Steve Simon, quick, okay, we're going to certify the election results. Then the book is closed. There's nothing you can do about it. And then that's who's won the election”

@OutofSpecDetail I just got one. Handles Houston rush hour traffic amazingly well w/o hands on wheel. Only interventions are in parking areas where I don’t like where it’s trying to park me or before backing into driveway instead of pulling in so I can charge.

This is going to be a long one, but I think y’all need to hear this. FSD is an incredible software, and it’s wild to see the progression Tesla has made. I’am glad many of you are extremely passionate about it, and I’m excited to see how Tesla pushes the industry along when it comes to autonomy. I am not an autonomy expert but I am a car enthusiast, I have been since I was born. I grew up in a car family, and I’m grateful to be able to have a career and hobby based in the car industry detailing. I love cars. FSD is an extremely cool product, but it’s not for everyone. We are in an insulated bubble here on Twitter (X) and I think less people actually care about FSD than you might think in the real world. Did you know out of the entire fleet only 12% of Tesla’s have FSD or are subscribed to it as of Q3 2025? I’ve attached the screenshot below. Now, this was before launch of v14, but has the needle moved that much? I guess we will see in the Q4 2025 metrics. All this to say… What I don’t understand is this push for people to call people idiots, morons, r*tards, dumbasses, etc, etc, the list goes on… Because they have a differing viewpoint of FSD. It’s bizarre to me how it have become if you don’t use FSD you are just dumb. Again, I’m glad y’all enjoy it, it’s fricken cool… But just because you believe in something, why do you have to shove it down everyone’s throat. Every comment lately is “Tesla or nothing, FSD or nothing, everything else is trash” There are some great offerings out there in the EV space, and I enjoy getting to drive my Tesla and other EVs in the industry. I enjoy driving over sitting in a car letting the car make every single decision for me, hence why I don’t subscribe to FSD. Tesla removing autopilot(autosteer) from future cars is a huge miss in my opinion. I didn’t buy my Tesla for FSD, I bought my Tesla cause it’s awesome to drive, the software is leagues above others, and it just makes me smile. I enjoy driving my car hard on canyon roads, and running errands. When I’m on the interstate Autopilot was all I needed to sit back and relax a bit. I get to control the speed, the lane I’m in my following distance, and let the car center me in a lane. It’s all I needed. That’s why I’m so bummed to hear AP is gone. All this to say, I love Tesla’s cars, I’ve owned 3 and I will own more. But just because someone decided to buy another EV or use/not use FSD doesn’t make them wrong. Enjoy your car, enjoy your tech, but let people enjoy their car. The car community is awesome when you can respectfully agree and disagree and make a decision on what you want to spend your hard earned money on. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

@RnaudBertrand Cost?

The ignorance and gaslighting of these people is genuinely astounding. You DON'T need batteries to store renewable energies. BY FAR the most mature and widely deployed form of grid-scale energy storage is to lift water to a high spot with the renewable energy, and when you want to get the energy back, you let it fall with gravity to move a turbine (similar to the way a dam works). It's called pumped hydro storage (PHS), it accounts for over 94% of all long-duration grid storage capacity globally (hydropower.org/factsheets/pum…), and it's extremely efficient (80% round-trip efficiency: atb.nrel.gov/electricity/20…). The notion that because you don't make a battery you are somehow subservient to China to store renewable energy is simply complete and utter hogwash.

@johnarnold Speed to permit / construction is the key for the US to keep pace. Too many NIMBYs in US

Just returned from my first trip to China, mostly looking at the energy and robotics industries. Fascinating. Random observations, both business and general, below... 1/x

@AbudBakri This is exactly the type of thing the government should pay universities to research, instead the govt. gives grants, universities patent and sell the grants to pharmaceutical companies & taxpayer gets to buy an expensive medicine @RobertKennedyJr

@RnaudBertrand What powers the GW of demand when the wind stops blowing?

China has now started installing 20MW offshore wind turbines. You just need 50 of those to match the capacity of an average 1GW nuclear plant. This might sound trivial but think for a minute how much easier it is to install a wind turbine than it is to build a nuclear plant. The latest nuclear reactor in the U.S., Vogtle Units 3 & 4, took 11 years to build. Whereas you can install a wind turbine in just two to three weeks (yes, really: researchgate.net/publication/32…) That's an insane differential: a couple of weeks vs. 11 years. With of course immense implications on costs: it's much cheaper to build, with a much safer risk profile. For one thing you start generating revenue in weeks instead of getting your capital tied up during more than a decade. As a reminder, Vogtle's cost overruns actually bankrupted Westinghouse - America's flagship nuclear company - in 2017 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westingho…). No major energy company can possibly get bankrupt over a wind turbine project. This is why, again, it's positively insane to believe that green energy is "a scam": the numbers are right there. The only scam is convincing people otherwise, which ironically favors China: they power their factories with cheap, rapidly deployed energy while we get the culture war.

@mcuban Simple. If they pay $2,500 they get 15% - $375.00 for overhead & profit b/c of the Obamacare 15% overhead & profit limit. If they pay $350 they only get $52.50 for overhead & profit. By spending more they drive up their earnings.

Explain to me why the insurance company will pay $2500 for an MRI when there is a center down the street that will do it for $350 ?
