@Skye_Borg Open app, click defrost car… problem solved.

@RealBirdLawyer Agree!

I grew up in Adam’s church. To be frank, I’m saddened that the state of our country has forced such a decent human being to enter politics. But I genuinely believe that he could do Kansas good. If you are a Kansas voter, I strongly urge you to give him your vote.

@ReillyRick @mrewanmurray Amen.

@mrewanmurray Jesus. he's just a golfer. why does he have to have all the answers?

This, like so much of what Scheffler offers to the media, is highly unimpressive.

@RachelSweetKC Maybe there were other reasons…

When I was managing the KS abortion amendment in 2022, we had over 60 faith leaders sign on to support the "vote no" effort and oppose banning abortion. Hamilton was not among them. Please don't believe this man if he tells you he is pro-choice. He just wants to win an election.

@SawyerMerritt Wow…Seems like a ton. Great to have a good customer!

Tesla says it sold $143 million worth of vehicles to SpaceX in 2025, according to a new SEC filing. SpaceX replaced a lot of their gas pickup truck fleet with Cybertrucks. Both Starship and the Cybertruck are made of stainless steel.

@QuintonLucasKC Love this!

Pastor Adam Hamilton is a good man of faith, a good husband, good father, and good leader in an era where all of those things still matter. Our region is blessed that he and his family have looked to share their good works in public service. Best of luck to all.

@willahmed Congrats!

Here's a general summary of Elon Musk’s 3.5 hour long testimony today during day 2 of the OpenAI trial: • Elon on Sam Altman & Greg Brockman: “If they wanna get rich, they should go do so as a for-profit. They should not get rich off a nonprofit. I gave them $38 million of essentially free funding to create what would become an $800 billion company.” • Elon says he could’ve made OpenAI for-profit but chose nonprofit for AI safety • Wanted initial ~51% control due to funding, but expected dilution over time • Donated $10M+ and trusted assurances OpenAI would remain nonprofit • Elon says his view of OpenAI evolved in three stages: first, he was “enthusiastically supportive.” Then, he became “a little uncertain” about whether the founders would keep it nonprofit. Now, he says he’s convinced “they’re looting the nonprofit.” • Elon says he “I would have filed the lawsuit sooner if I thought they had stolen the charity sooner.” • Left board in 2018 (Tesla/SpaceX commitments), still believing mission wouldn’t change • Was not concerned by 2019 capped-profit shift at the time • Elon feels the Microsoft partnership was a “bait and switch” and risked corporate control of AGI. When Microsoft invested $10B in OpenAI at the end of 2022, Elon sent a text to Sam asking, “What the hell is going on?” Elon became very concerned about OpenAI’s direction. Sam Altman responded to Elon's text with: “I agree this feels bad. We offered you equity when we established the cap profit, which you didn't want at the time. We are still very happy to do any time you’d like.” Elon says "I didn’t understand how you could have stock in a nonprofit. It just didn't seem to make sense to me. Frankly, it felt like a bribe." • Rejected equity offer from OpenAI, saying it didn’t make sense for a nonprofit, later called it a “bribe” • Says he sued only after the “charity was actually violated,” not earlier concerns • Denies seeking permanent control; says goal was ensuring AI goes in the “right direction” • Early OpenAI relationships were positive, later deteriorated • Elon criticized OpenAI as “not open” and effectively controlled by Microsoft • OpenAI attorney asked Elon about the potential upcoming SpaceX IPO. Elon said that it would be illegal for him to comment on it before it actually goes public. When asked if he will control SpaceX after the IPO, Elon said: “Yes" and said he will still be CEO. • Elon’s last $5M quarterly donation to OpenAI was in May 2017; he stopped covering office rent in 2020. • OpenAI attorney on suggesting that xAI’s Grok lags far behind ChatGPT. Elon said, “Well, not anymore.” The OpenAI attorney asked, “It’s catching up, you think?” to which Elon replied, “Yeah.” Elon will continue his testimony tomorrow.

Pro Friendship Tip: If you have a friend starting up a business, look for ways to support. If your friend opens a pizza shop, your first thought should be to take your friends to all buy some pizza, not to ask for free meals.

@PeterMallouk 💯💯💯💯

A reminder that you can control your energy…

@davidsenra @pmarca Agree.

@pmarca This one was pretty awesome too:

This really is the best discussion of the year so far. youtu.be/Hrbq66XqtCo?si…

If I were at Nike I wouldn’t have taken it down. Nike’s DNA is winning and competition. It’s an ad for the Boston Marathon which is a RACE that is very hard to qualify for in a city that has a winning sports culture. Those details matter. The line was good in that it “cut through” and got people talking about Nike. That’s the point of marketing. And I can guarantee you there’s a whole group of people in Boston who are runners and walkers alike that read it and loved it. But you hear from the haters first and Nike folded. The brand needs to find their “Just do it” identity again. Unapologetic and aspirational.

@PeterMallouk @KansasCity So inspiring to see your generosity!

We are so happy to be able to launch the Ten Parks Project, an initiative to build 10 fully accessible playgrounds across the @KansasCity metro. The goal is to ensure children of all abilities are no more than 10 miles from an inclusive park. Groundbreakings coming soon! Thanks to @VarietyKC for stepping up to the challenge and @QuintonLucasKC for his early support.

@PeterMallouk So awesome!

Every tax day, I can't help but think about the letter Donald Rumsfeld sent in with his tax return.

@davidsenra How could anything else be possible?

I had an incredible conversation with Rick Rubin

@tfadell That’s where I am struggling with my product. Wish we could chat.

Builders build. Then they ship. Then they solve what breaks. Launch isn’t the finish line. It’s where reality starts. Great products aren’t defined at launch...they’re defined by how they perform in the real world. With the #iPod it took us a few generations to truly get it right. We built and shipped the first version of the iPod in 9 months- greenlit in March 2001, announced that October and began shipping in November. Then we fixed, iterated, and produced a product that lasted many years, and ultimately paved the way for the #iPhone. Many of us still love our iPods! That’s what happens when you stay with the product. Trust comes from what happens after release and from doing the hard parts: scaling, supporting, improving. Focus on what’s real: working product, real customers, real outcomes. That’s the difference between hype and something that lasts.

@willahmed @WHOOP @McIlroyRory Wow. That’s awesome.

@teslaownersSV Yes

I just got the invite to order a Model S or 𝕏 Signature Edition Should I?

@robinren @Tesla Wish I had an invite!

Thanks @Tesla for the invitation. Model S means a lot to me. During 2015-20, my team sold, delivered and serviced a significant number of S and X across many markets. This is a tribute to my former team and customers❤️ I will enjoy this car for many years to come.

@DragTimes Congrats!

Boom.... Model S Signature Edition Acquired....
