I know President Trump is fixing the border and the economy right now. Sooner or later he is going to sign an EO that changes the USA to the metric system. That will be HUGE!

@grok @RealBookerScott @grok why is it limited to Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi?

Yes, it's true. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that the 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling (making spirits like whiskey or vodka at home) is unconstitutional—it exceeds Congress's power to tax. For the average American in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, this could mean you can now legally distill small amounts for personal use without federal felony charges. State rules may still apply, sales remain banned, and the DOJ could appeal to the Supreme Court. Hobbyists just gained a big win.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of ‌Appeals in New Orleans declared today that a 158-year-old federal ban on home distilling is unconstitutional. They called it an unnecessary and improper means for ​Congress to exercise its power to tax.

If you haven’t yet, delete ChatGPT from your phone, computer, and tablet.

Great, but no one is withdrawing their support for his position in the US Congress.

Everyone will hate you as governor

@sizzle_sarah Sadly it will take more than that.

California could be Great Again if it had a Republican Governor.

Steyer is most likely a pathological liar.

I think it’s probable that Steyer is a liar.

@GuntherEagleman @SeldenGADawgs @grok is this true and if so what and when exactly did Pelosi say

🚨 HOLY SHlT: Nancy Pelosi is now throwing Eric Swalwell under the bus. The former Speaker just demanded that Rep. Swalwell drop out of the California governor’s race amid serious sexual assault allegations from a former staffer!

@GrantCardone @LStargazer54 @grok is this true and if so what exactly did Trump do and say?

🚨 DONALD TRUMP DEMANDS ‘NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!’ You can’t hate this! President Trump launches national revolution to abolish property taxes which would result in the most powerful economic expansion in U.S. history.

Tom Steyer might be a liar.

Dumb gonna be dumb.

It’s called cohesion.

Unfortunately, there’s no GOP senator with enough intelligence to pull that off.

@r0ck3t23 @grok I already know that. I can read. @grok

@r0ck3t23 @grok who is @r0ck323

Sam Altman just told the interviewer no. Three times. Interviewer: “Do you think space data centers will be viable in the next two to three years?” Sam Altman: “No.” Five years? “No.” Ten years? He paused. Then came the line. Altman: “I wish Elon luck.” Four words. Dripping with dismissal. The problem is Elon has heard that exact tone before. From the aerospace industry when he said rockets could land themselves on a floating platform in the ocean. From Wall Street when he said a fully electric car could outsell the combustion engine. From the entire satellite industry when he said one company could blanket the planet in broadband from low Earth orbit. They all wished him luck too. Here is what Altman apparently does not understand about space data centers. The single largest cost in running a data center is not hardware. It is not labor. It is energy and cooling. AI compute runs hot. Brutally hot. Entire rivers are being rerouted. Power grids are buckling. Municipalities are rejecting data center contracts because the energy demand is unsustainable. Space solves both problems at once. Uninterrupted solar exposure with no atmosphere diffusing it. Heat radiates directly into vacuum. No cooling towers. No water consumption. No grid dependency. No zoning fights. No land. The physics do not care what Sam Altman thinks is viable. And Starship changes the entire cost structure. The price to put a kilogram into orbit has dropped by orders of magnitude since SpaceX started flying. It is still dropping. The moment heavy lift becomes routine, the economics of orbital infrastructure shift in ways that make Altman’s dismissal look like a telecom executive in 1995 saying the internet would never be a real business. Altman runs the most well-funded AI lab on Earth and still cannot solve his energy problem. He is buying nuclear plants. He is cutting deals with natural gas operators. He is negotiating with governments to build dedicated power corridors just to keep the lights on. The constraint is real. The desperation is visible. And his answer to whether orbital infrastructure could help was three nos and a wish of luck. That is not analysis. That is not even a position. That is a man who has never built a rocket looking at a man who lands them and choosing condescension over curiosity. Elon Musk has a specific and well-documented relationship with the word impossible. He dissolves it. Repeatedly. Ahead of schedule. Then moves to the next one. Altman is not a bad operator. OpenAI is a serious organization doing serious work. But there is a difference between running the most important software company in the world and being the person who rewrites the physical constraints of civilization. Altman is the former. Musk is the latter. When Elon says something is coming, the correct response is not to wish him luck. It is to ask what quarter. The people who bet against him are not wrong because Musk is infallible. They are wrong because they keep applying conventional judgment to someone who has made a career out of destroying it. Space data centers are not a fantasy. They are an engineering problem on a predictable cost curve being driven down by a man who already solved three others that everyone said were impossible. Altman should hope they work. Because the man dismissing Elon is the man who needs this solved most.

@ZPEdisclosure @grok what is a Compact Fusion Reactor and what is the difference between T4, T4B, and T5?

Lockheed Skunk Works publicly announced their Compact Fusion Reactor program in October 2014. Aviation Week got exclusive access to the lab. They built prototypes called T4, T4B, and T5. In July 2019 the VP of Skunk Works told Aviation Week they were building T5, "a significantly larger and more powerful reactor." Then the program was quietly halted before 2021. No failure announcement. No "it didn't work" press release. Just silence. They built five generations of reactor prototypes over a decade and then stopped talking. You don't do that when something fails. You do that when something gets moved somewhere you're not allowed to talk about.

This is a waste of time.

@gc22gc @grok has Chad Bianco vowed to support a path to citizenship for illegal aliens?

HELL NO TO CHAD BIANCO TOO.

@DisrespectedThe We must fight, defeat, and drastically change mainstream news channels: ABC, NBC. They spew lies 24/7. CBS is getting better. CNN will change abruptly in 4-6 months. But the first two are 100% sick and must be obliterated.?

I've talked to numerous Democrat voters in Minnesota. I asked them if they'll continue to vote Democrat even after the billions in fraud? Their answer was an astounding YES. I asked why and a majority of them said "because I hate Trump." How do we fight against that mentality?
