@Austen And the best part is - this really does provide *actual* value to the companies that do it.

@buccocapital Neither JB nor PG are the team captains. It would be more like trading Jeff Dean for Karpathy? 🤔

@Damhezy15 @KonstantinKisin Elon: no one can name a single person who died because of Doge Kristof: <rattles off 5 names with receipts> Damilare: well obviously you can find someone Yes. You can. Which is what rhe OP was denying.

@statictype @KonstantinKisin No one with functioning brain cells take that story seriously. You can always bring up a sad story from anywhere in the world to support this moronic propaganda.

This is why no one in any Western country can cut any welfare spending ever and why we keep going further and further into debt. Because any time anyone reduces spending on anything, an example can be wheeled out of a person who suffered or even died as a result. On this basis, there can never be too much spending, too much aid or too much tax. Indeed, the author of the tweet I am quoting will almost certainly oppose paying taxes of 100% or having 100% of his country's GDP be used in aid to the developing world. Despite the fact that his failure to give all his/his country's money away is demonstrably killing people right now. How many lives could be saved by having all of his money go to Africa? How many millions could be saved by having all of the federal budget be sent to the poorest parts of the world?

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines.

@pitdesi My favourite is that they set a 2mb limit on pdf uploads. Guaranteeing that whatever you upload is completely illegible

True, the India visa website is one of the worst pieces of technology I’ve ever used. But it does have one huge benefit: it’s so broken that you can change your computer’s date to get a visa without the minimum 4 day notice :)
The Economist@TheEconomist

Before you read this article, grab a glass of water and a paracetamol. Walk over to your laptop—the supercomputer in your hand is not up to the task—and see if you can figure out how to apply online for an Indian visa. We’ll wait economist.com/asia/2026/06/2…

When the New York Times wants to profile a cricketer, he must be special and I had the privilege of doing it. Read how Vaibhav Sooryavanshi rose from an unlikely place to become cricket’s next big thing. My first for @nytimes/@TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/73666…

@TrungTPhan He’s 22 and made iit all the way to the finals in his first try. Not saying he is the goat but by no means is this a guarantee.

@ooba241 @mattyglesias Its a great mindset to ensure the Knicks wait another few decades for their next title. Okc and spurs are playing the long game.

Leaving aside the question of whether or not it's a good thing for single person to have so much wealth (and that specific person), there is something inspiring and 'correct' about the world's wealthiest person being an engineer who builds things and became successful by building, as opposed to acquiring wealth through rent-seeking, exploitation or arbitrage.
