Ferrari just finally unveiled its first-ever EV, the "Luce"
and it costs an insane $550,000+ for it. It's a 4-door, 5-seater... with a design that is a joke
But when you actually look at the math, it's hilarious. Ferrari just spent 5 years of R&D to build a car that gets absolutely crushed by the Model S Plaid... a family sedan Tesla literally *just discontinued* because they’ve already moved on
Here's the side-by-side specs comparison:
Ferrari Luce (2027)
• 0-62 mph: 2.5s
• Top Speed: 193 mph
• Range: ~330 miles (WLTP)
• Price: ~$550,000
Tesla Model S Plaid (2026 - Retired)
• 0-60 mph: 1.99s
• Top Speed: 200 mph
• Range: 359 miles (EPA)
• Price: ~$89,990
Legacy auto is completely cooked. Ferrari is trying to sell a half-million-dollar "hypercar" that loses in pure physics to a discontinued Tesla family sedan lol

Call me old school, but I want manual transmissions to make a comeback.

@Jason For the first time ever, you and I are in total agreement.

America's goal should be to expand our Empire
Be it immigration, acquisition or invitation, if you believe we have the best system then you should embrace expansion.
If Cuba, Puerto Rico, Greenland, Greece, Venezuela, Quebec or The Dominican Republic want to join the Union let’s do it!
Let’s get to 60 States in these United!
Let’s be the most populous and prosperous country in the world.

Absolutely incredible. This from a drug that was *not* designed to attack tumors. Far more impactful than almost any other single treatment we’ve tried over the last few decades. Imagine what could happen when we actively start fine tuning it for cancer treatment.

Eli Lilly released retatrutide Phase 3 data yesterday. 28% weight loss in 80 weeks. The most powerful obesity drug that’s ever been tested. And today the cancer signal drops. 12,112 patients. Seven tumor types. GLP-1 users had half the lung cancer metastasis rate (10% vs 22%). Breast cancer: 43% cut. Colon cancer five-year mortality in a separate study: 15.5% vs 37.1%. Cancer joins a list that already includes heart disease (SELECT, 20% MACE reduction), kidney failure (FLOW, 24% slower decline), sleep apnea (SURMOUNT-OSA, FDA-approved), addiction (BMJ, 600K veterans, 18-25% reduction across substances), and liver disease (86% fat clearance). Tumors express GLP-1 receptors. Activate them and NF-kB drops, apoptosis rises. The drug isn’t just shrinking fat. It’s talking directly to the cancer. One drug class. Designed for blood sugar. The biology keeps finding uses the designers didn’t predict.

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate.
Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd:
-Give $12K to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60K
And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

I have no idea why Tesla hasn't come out with a Tahoe-style SUV.
Pair that with FSD and it would be one of the top-selling vehicles in the world.

@mcuban I admire the thinking. The better play is reducing taxes, government programs, and spending. We don’t need more takers taking shit they didn’t create.

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.
Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.
It will accomplish 4 things (at least )
1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization
Which will
2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption
Which will
3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x
Which will
4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like
At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.
Thoughts ?

Everyone is hyped about Google Gemini Pro… but barely anyone knows how to actually use it to replace real work.
I collected 300+ mega prompts that turn Gemini into a full-blown productivity engine.
Comment "AI" and I’ll DM you everything.

.@Saylor says Bitcoin is not a currency and never has to become one. He claims Bitcoin is property, like commercial real estate. But commercial real estate has actual value. You can use it yourself or rent it out to someone else. What value does Bitcoin have as digital property?

@DefiyantlyFree 100%. I wish @DataRepublican would figure out where Bernie’s financial sources are coming from and put that on X. I would be willing to bet the farm that China is funding him and AOC (and probably large parts of the DNC).
English
If your objections about data centers sound like AOCs and Bernie Sanders, you should examine your beliefs and make sure you’re not being manipulated. Because Bernie has no problem if China wins the AI race. Ask yourself why.

@LamarMK I miss going to the gas station as much as I miss working a 9-5 for someone else’s exit.
English
Ask any Tesla owner if they miss going to the gas station.
The answer is always the same. No.
Once you experience the convenience of charging at home, the thought of ever owning another gas car goes out the window.
No standing in the cold. No watching $80 disappear in 5 minutes. No more random stops just to fill up.
Just plug in, walk inside, and wake up to a full charge every morning.
Tesla owners, do you miss the gas station at all?
