@elonmusk @WallStreetMav It’s doesn’t matter what percentage. There are real people with families who would be required to work without pay. What is the plan for them?

@WallStreetMav What percentage of the government is even working a week before Christmas anyway? My guess is very low.

@GentlemenRogues great show in Phx last weekend. Do you recall what song you played for the encore?
English

@DavidSacks The real scandal is using an apostrophe to make a word plural.

I hope @Jason is serious about a San Francisco mayoral run. would you support?
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@Jason If you become mayor, my companies will double their investment in San Francisco. Such an incredible city has been used & abused by management for too long!

@natebosshard @DeanPreston What are you talking about? Are you saying people living on the street have no right to private property?
English

@DeanPreston It’s insane how much contempt and hate you have for law abiding citizens in your district.

@NorthIsUp @DeanPreston Comcast offers gigabit in the Western Addition.
English

@DeanPreston Can you also set a minimum bar for “fast” because the federal definition of broadband is only 25 down 3 up.
In a city that is supposedly the cradle of innovation it should be at least 100/25
Also in western addition it’s impossible to get gigabit

@ercwl @kittenmittoncr1 So the object is for people on Twitter to think you can predict things, and your tactic is to fire off a bunch of too-soon-to-call predictions in hope you make one you can quote tweet?
English

@kittenmittoncr1 that’s how twitter works though. if i try to make the argument when it’s 90 days old instead, the only response i’ll get is ”uhhh ok captain obvious”. there is a time to write this tweet and that time is now.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME
During the Covid crisis, did bitcoin have its moment? Not really, it nuked harder than anything instead of acting as a safe haven—and then traded like a junk risk stock on steroids, mooning at the same time as dogecoin and monkey jpegs.
During the Russia-Ukraine invasion, did bitcoin have its moment? Not really, interest rates shot through the roof and bitcoin once again traded like a junk risk asset, dropping 65% over the year.
This is the only time over the past few years where we've had a clean price <> narrative coalition. The market signal is clear and undeniable, with bitcoin decoupling from all other assets, even outperforming its own riskier crypto counterparts.
Bitcoin is—seemingly for the first time—working as safe haven asset in response to the traditional banking system and in response to a globally unreliable & jerky central bank monetary policy.

@chrsdcook @DonaldFR No one in any city says everybody should be able to move there. SF does need plenty of additional housing — affordable and otherwise.
English

@DonaldFR It's an absolute contradiction. They say everybody should be able to move here so build endless market rate housing, then they say not everybody can live here, don't come if you don't have enough money. Completely hypocritical.
English

Amazingly, #SanFrancisco "moderates" simultaneously rage that lefties are preventing people from moving here by demanding 100% affordable housing--yet when it's poor and homeless folk they insist, "hey, not everyone can live in SF."
I've heard this total hypocrisy many times.
English

@debracleaver @ShailviW No argument with that. Should have seen it coming. But the people who deposit money in a bank shouldn’t have to do a financial security audit on it. And in this case there are actually enough assets to back those deposits. Sins of the father and all that.
English

@debracleaver @ShailviW Hi! That’s true, but different. The bank has enough assets to pay depositors back in full. Just not in cash, right now. Better to give people access to all deposits while they liquidate the assets, which is what they did.
English

@debracleaver @ShailviW That’s how insurance works. The insured pay into a fund to pay the claims of others. In this case the insured are other banks that would expect the same backstop if they needed it.

@jimmy_wales @Jason Well he does consider himself the PT Barnum of his generation…

The best leading indicator that the SVB situation would be resolved favorably had to be @jason tweeting in all caps as if the world was ending. 🙄

@SFPDChief @SFPD Isn’t St. Patrick’s Day on 3/17? Why not next weekend?
