@grok @TMSTRS_ @VincentOshana @GavinNewsom @grok what is the current fuel price average in the state and compare it to the record price during the Biden administration.

The Phillips 66 LA refinery (Wilmington) ceased operations in Q4 2025 due to long-term market challenges: declining California crude production (down 75% since the 1980s), weak refining margins, rising costs for older facilities, and easier access to cheaper imports. The company explicitly said it wasn't due to recent regulations. Valero's Benicia refinery began idling in early 2026, citing California's stringent regulatory environment, high operational costs, and enforcement pressures as the state shifts from fossil fuels. It also recorded impairment charges amid evaluating strategic options. These reflect ongoing industry consolidation and reduced in-state demand, not sudden events.

I am officially endorsing @GavinNewsom for president in 2028. A proven winner. Nobody does homelessness, crime, fraud, and $8 gas better. And any man willing to sleep with his best friend’s wife clearly has the character to lead America. Let’s take California national. 🇺🇸

@grok @TMSTRS_ @VincentOshana @GavinNewsom @grok Why did the refineries close?

The sharp rise in California gas prices this March is driven primarily by the U.S.-Iran war, which disrupted ~20% of global oil supply after Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz. Crude prices jumped over $25 per barrel in weeks, adding ~60 cents per gallon at the pump. It's amplified here by longstanding factors: two major refinery closures (Phillips 66 LA and Valero Benicia) cut ~17% of state capacity, forcing more imports; the switch to costlier summer-blend fuel; plus high state taxes, fees, and clean-air rules that already keep CA prices $1+ above the national average. Some stations hit $8+ amid the crunch, prompting gouging probes, but the core is global supply shock plus local constraints.

@grok @TMSTRS_ @VincentOshana @GavinNewsom @grok Can you explain why it has risen sharply? Is it just the escalation in oil prices?

@bosbvok @TMSTRS_ @VincentOshana @GavinNewsom No. California gas prices have never exceeded $8 per gallon outside of Donald Trump's presidencies. The previous all-time high average was $6.44 in June 2022 (under President Biden). Spikes above $8 at some stations are a new development in March 2026.

@TMSTRS_ @VincentOshana @GavinNewsom @grok Has the gas price in California ever hit more than $8 outside of Donald Trumps presidency? If so, name the year and the US president in office.

$8 gas is a direct result of Trumps dumbass war with Iran. Dead soldiers, record debt spending, illegal war that puts Americans in debt & death for Israel. You were always the loudest in the room, & always the dumbest in the room. Too bad you can’t see that your Patrick’s little jester.

@Auberginefoods Ordered March 18 with "Skip the line pass". April 1st and I am still waiting (2 weeks). The order was largely for Easter. If I had known it was coming from Canada. Not sure I would have ordered. It should have been clearer it was an import into the USA.

Its a new world we live in, change is happening so fast, we need to "unlearn" what we already know to make space for the deluge of new.

@ahmtdlr_2506 @Mr_Husky1 In amongst other biblical references: John 1: 12-13 says that those who receive and believe in Jesus are given the right to become children of God.

@bosbvok @Mr_Husky1 God has no children; we are His creations.

I saw a guy saying, “This woman should never be allowed in a church.” Personally, I think she should be welcomed. What do you think, would she be welcome in your church?

@Paul_sb @LewisHamilton I think its wonderful to see the Italians on the podium, especially for a youngster like that! Great for the future.

@bosbvok @LewisHamilton No problem ... my star did not finnish but nice to see young Antonelli becoming the youngest ever to win a F1 race. Looks like he has a good future.

@Paul_sb @LewisHamilton I have to recant my criticism. I went to double check. Regarding the pass, Charles Leclerc did not "let" Lewis Hamilton by via a team order; rather, Hamilton overtook him during a fierce on-track battle.  The best man took 3rd place. My apologies.

@bosbvok @LewisHamilton I must have missed that? Over the radio during the broadcast?

@Paul_sb @LewisHamilton Leclerc was ordered to let him go ahead. He didnt beat him.

@bosbvok @LewisHamilton He won his team mate fair and square ... Regardless how one percieves this thrust and cut nonsense.

@ChrisDeame @stinkysteve1959 @C_3C_3 @grok Goodness, well, that says something.

@stinkysteve1959 @bosbvok @C_3C_3 @grok The no votes were all women.

Congress voted to protect their sexual harassment records but not America’s elections. Says it all.

@AdamLowisz @elonmusk I am grok that.

Grok has the lowest hallucination rate of any AI model because @elonmusk pushed for Grok to be maximally truth seeking. Other models will struggle with this because they are pushed to be inherently biased. Biased models will hallucinate more.

ALL PLANTS ARE EDIBLE . . Some only once I saw this on t-shirt today and it made me laugh 🌿

@Malusi_Reloaded @elonmusk Especially interesting if you look at the opposition count which I got from Grok: Yeas (supporting referral, keeping records protected): 175 Republicans, 182 Democrats.

@elonmusk I'll just leave this here

This actually happened

ALL PLANTS ARE EDIBLE . . . Some only once though

@Anthonyzxy1 @MarinasHammer @grok can you verify these statistics?

Overall homicides in the city of Los Angeles dropped significantly in 2025 (down ~19% to the lowest levels in decades, per LAPD data). • But homeless-related violent incidents (including homicides) rose about 20% in the same period, remaining a persistent challenge despite some citywide improvements.

Los Angeles is so bad that you will get stabbed charging your car at the city library by a homeless man, and when an ambulance comes to save you, ANOTHER homeless man steals the ambulance while they’re tending to you at the scene leaving you no way to get to the hospital, and you die. Sounds like South Africa…

I’m Iranian. People who have never lived under oppression and never had to fight for their freedom or their country are trying to tell me what is better for my country. That honestly makes me laugh. Open your eyes and watch Iranians literally crying tears of happiness. Stop acting like you are the only people in the world who understand. Stop being racist.
