@jpatel41 @grok remind me what was the main reason Cisco said for the last two rounds of layoffs?

I’ve been saying this for months, and the early data is beginning to support it. Five years from now, I believe AI will create more jobs than it eliminates. That may sound counterintuitive. But the data is proving this theory. Here are some factors worth considering. AI is exposing new human bottlenecks When one part of a workflow becomes dramatically faster, the constraint simply moves elsewhere. Organizations then need more people to remove the next bottleneck and capture the value AI has unlocked. Automation does not eliminate the need for human contribution. It often reveals how much more could be accomplished with it. AI fluency will become one of the world’s most valuable skills The emerging divide will not be between humans and agents. It will be between people who are highly fluent with AI and those who are not. AI-fluent people will not be 10% more productive. In some forms of work, they could be 50x or even 100x more effective. They will imagine better uses for AI, orchestrate agents and apply judgment where machines still fall short. These people will be scarce and enormously valuable. Productivity creates demand The assumption behind mass unemployment is that the amount of work the world needs is fixed. It isn’t. When technology becomes dramatically cheaper and easier to create, we do not simply produce the same amount with fewer people. We build more products, start more companies, solve previously uneconomic problems and serve markets that could never be served before. AI will lower the cost of ambition. The real risk, therefore, is not that humanity runs out of work. It is that millions of people are not prepared for how quickly the nature of work changes. The future will likely have more jobs. But they will not be the same jobs, performed in the same way, by people with the same skills. The imperative is not to protect people from AI. It is to help every person become fluent in it.

@SigSomd @TheChiefNerd @grok is this true? If so stack all the other congress members on both sides that were/are active at the same time

@TheChiefNerd Lindsey Graham has an estimated net worth of approximately $1.5 million to $2 million. That was after 30+ years in politics and 30+ years in the Air Force Reserves. We need less self-serving leaches in American politics. We need more America First patriots like Graham.

TRUMP: “What makes it even stranger is that I got a call last night sometime … and [Lindsey Graham] said we're all set for the Save America Act … We thought maybe we might even meet today. And then that was it.”

@stevenmarkryan It’s over. Throw it out lol

Day 5.

This is maximum wokeness

@xyracerx @benfergusonshow @elonmusk @grok how did all these people make their money also??

@benfergusonshow @elonmusk Lest not forget...🤦‍♂️ Michael Bloomberg — ~$95 billion. MacKenzie Scott — ~$28 billion. George Soros — ~$8.7 billion. J.B. Pritzker — ~$4.5 billion. Laurene Powell Jobs — ~$7.5 billion. Tom Steyer — ~$1.6 billion.

The anti-@elonmusk crowd is hilarious. Ro Khanna: $250M+ Gavin Newsom: $30M Elizabeth Warren: $12M Bernie Sanders: $5M + 3 houses They’re attacking a guy who built companies that changed transportation, space exploration, communications, and AI. The hypocrisy isn’t subtle. It’s the entire point. 🚀🇺🇸

@benfergusonshow @thejefflutz @elonmusk @grok how did all these politicians “make” their money??

@nvidia @SpaceX @WR4NYGov you had a conspiracy theory in one of your last videos about Tesla actually buying SpaceX. I’ll share mine: what if SpaceX buys Nvidia??

Huge congratulations to the @SpaceX team on a historic IPO debut. Fueling the next frontier of space and AI. 🌌 NVIDIA's partnership with SpaceX spans nearly a decade, from hand-delivering the world's first #NVIDIADGX-1 supercomputer in 2016 to the custom DGX Spark handoff at Starbase. Together, we've been pushing the boundaries of accelerated computing to help power the future of space exploration.

@TheMaverickWS @grok give me a rough estimate of home many SpaceX employees are now millionaires because of this IPO

We live in a country where most people can't afford a $1000 emergency but we're celebrating one man becoming a trillionaire. That's the real death of a civilization... $SPCX

@SawyerMerritt @grok who else in history has run 2 or more of the top 10 companies?

SpaceX is now the 7th most valuable company in the world. Elon now runs two companies in the top 10.

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX Why is Fidelity such a piece of shit

I’ve been asked by many to create one comprehensive post explaining how to prepare for @SpaceX’s IPO if you use one of the brokerages listed in SpaceX’s S-1 filing to allocate IPO shares to retail investors. Here it is: Fidelity: 1) $500,000 minimum account balance required to participate (including IRAs, individual, etc, but excluding 401k). 2) Enter an indication of interest. The indication of interest provides Fidelity with the maximum number of shares a customer is interested in purchasing. 3) Confirm your indication of interest shares on Fidelity's website after the registration statement has been declared effective and the offering has priced, which is typically after 7 PM ET on the night of pricing. Indications of interest may not be confirmed prior to the registration statement being declared effective and the offering pricing established. By confirming your indication of interest, you are placing an order to buy shares at the offering price. If you do not confirm your indication of interest, you will not be eligible for an allocation of shares. 4) Allocation of shares will occur on the morning following pricing and is usually complete before 9:30 AM ET. An alert will be sent once allocations are complete, and you can check your account to determine whether you were allocated shares. If you receive an allocation of shares, you must have adequate funds available to settle the purchase in the settlement date which is typically the trade date plus one business day. 5) You may increase your indication of interest up through the close of the indication of interest period. You may decrease or cancel an indication of interest until share allocation takes place. Once share allocation takes place, your indication may not be canceled or modified. Charles Schwab: 1) $100,000 minimum account balance required to participate (including IRAs, individual, etc, but excluding 401k). 2) On Schwab's website, under the Trade tab, select the IPO page to view the Calendar of Offerings, a list of upcoming IPOs. Once the IPO offering window opens (expected first week of June), investors will have the ability to submit a Conditional Offer to Purchase (COTP), also known as an Indication of Interest, from this page. 3) During an IPO's open COTP window, select Start COTP to review offering details and the preliminary prospectus. Then select the green button to proceed to the Eligibility Questionnaire, which is required to confirm investors meet eligibility criteria and are not restricted (per FINRA rules) from participating. After completing the questionnaire, you'll be able to indicate how many shares you're interested in purchasing based on the price range provided. Select Confirm to submit the COTP. 4) After the COTP has been submitted, regularly monitor the IPO page, which will indicate the Status of Your Conditional Offers to Purchase (COTPs), the expected pricing date, and current pricing status, plus any changes in the prospectus. When the IPO has been priced, you will affirm your COTP. You must affirm your COTP once the effective price is established in order to be eligible to purchase shares. To do so, select Affirm Now to review and finalize the share quantity. Robinhood: 1) There's no minimum account size requirement, but you must have enough buying power to cover your requested shares if you are allocated any. You must have an individual brokerage account. Retirement, custodial, and multiple investing accounts are not eligible for IPO Access. 2) Make sure IPO Access is enabled in your Robinhood app. Turn on your IPO notifications so that Robinhood notifies you when the SpaceX IPO comes online. 3) Request Shares: Once the IPO is announced and available, you can request shares through the app or website. This is a request for IPO shares. By placing a conditional offer to buy (COB), you’re asking for the opportunity to purchase a quantity of shares at the IPO price. An investor may place, edit, or cancel a COB after the initial price range is published and before the confirmation period ends. 4) Allocation is random and not guaranteed. The number of shares you request factors into how many you actually get, but it doesn’t affect the likelihood that you’ll get any allocation. You may get all, some, or none of the IPO shares you request. E*Trade: 1) E*TRADE does not publicly list a specific minimum account size required to participate in IPOs, but contact them to double check. That said, allocation priority for “hot” IPOs may still favor larger or more active accounts in practice, even if there’s no official minimum balance requirement. 2) Be a U.S. resident, have an active E*TRADE account (Individual, Joint and IRAs are all eligible) and complete the investor profile questionnaire. 3) Sign up for IPO alerts. 4) Submit a conditional offer to buy ("COB"). As part of this submission, you specify the number of shares and the maximum price you are willing to pay per share. COBs can only be submitted via the New Issue Center. A COB may be submitted once an offering is listed as "open" up until the status is changed to "closed." COBs that have already been submitted may be amended or cancelled after an offering is "closed" up until the status is changed to "allocate." At this point, no further changes may be made to a COB and you are bound by the terms of your COB. If there is no material change in an offering, customers will not need to reconfirm their COBs. If you have submitted a conditional offer, you must have available buying power to cover the full amount of your conditional offer in the account through which you submitted the conditional offer. 5) Shares are allocated to eligible accounts as a proportion, or percentage, of the size of their COB. The percentage is based primarily on the number of shares provided to E*TRADE for sale to its customers and the size of the overall demand for shares from E*TRADE's customers. Given the expected high demand for this offering and the limited availability of shares available for sale to E*TRADE customers, many COBs may not be allocated shares (according to E*Trade). Additionally, in many instances, allocations will be significantly smaller than the size of shares requested in a customer's COB. 6) E*TRADE makes its allocations after the pricing of the overall offering but before the stock begins trading. E*TRADE will inform customers via alert or email whether they have been allocated shares. Any allocation should be reflected in the relevant customer account once that allocation has been processed by E*TRADE. Sofi: 1) There is no minimum account balance/size requirement. Have an active Self-Directed Invest account. 2) Go to the “IPO Investing” section in the app or website 3) Select the IPO 4) Complete the IPO suitability questionnaire 5) Submit an “Indication of Interest” (IOI), which is basically a non-binding request for shares. 6) When the IPO is officially priced, SoFi will notify you to confirm your order. NOTE: Don’t be surprised if you receive fewer IPO shares than you requested, or none at all. Demand for the limited number of IPO shares available to retail investors will likely be extremely high, and each participating brokerage will only receive a limited allocation of shares to distribute to retail investors. For our international friends, keep in mind that @SpaceX said in their S-1 filing that allocations will also be made to retail investors by the underwriters, which include: • Goldman Sachs • Morgan Stanley • Bank of America • Citigroup • J.P. Morgan • Barclays • Deutsche Bank Securities • RBC Capital Markets • UBS Investment Bank • Wells Fargo Securities • Allen & Company • Cantor • Needham & Company • Raymond James • Societe Generale • Stifel • William Blair • BTG Pactual • ING • Macquarie Capital • Mirae Asset Securities • Mizuho • Santander so you can try reaching out to one of these places if you have assets with them and you may be able to request an allocation of some shares. I've already seen that happen with some Goldman Sachs clients. Lastly, and I stated this in a previous post, @SpaceX specifically stated in their S-1 filing that any purchase of their Class A common stock in this offering through these platforms will be at the same IPO price, and at the same time, as any other purchases in this offering, including purchases by institutions and other large investors, which means any retail investors that are lucky enough to get allocated some SpaceX IPO shares will pay the same price as the big guys. This will likely be the largest retail IPO share allocation in history, by far. If you have more questions, reach out directly to your brokerage and/or bank. And no, this post wasn't written by AI lol. Not financial advice.

@highbrow_nobrow @atrupar @grok what eight wars ended?

Trump rates his presidency: "So this has been I think -- and a lot of people say it -- the most successful year of any administration in American history. We extinguished eights wars." @atrupar (2026)

@Rothmus @elonmusk @grok? Can you confirm any of this??

Every time I see another liberal sperging out about Rittenhouse, this immediately pops into my head.

@krassenstein 😆👍

I’ve listened. I’ve reflected. I’ve grown. After losing 6,000 followers for buying a Cybertruck, I realized I needed a vehicle that better aligns with my followers’ environmental expectations and moral values. So I traded it in for a beauty that gets 7 MPG and personally accelerates glacier melt every time I tap the gas pedal. The good news is it has absolutely no connection to Elon Musk. Looking forward to earning back your trust, and hopefully those 6,000 refollows.

@nicksortor @elonmusk @GrageDustin @grok what is their reasoning? They are dead so there for can't vote anyways

🚨 WTF?! Minnesota Democrats have voted UNANIMOUSLY to BLOCK a requirement to remove DEAD PEOPLE from the voter rolls, per @GrageDustin How much more obvious can they make it??! These people are rigging elections right in front of our faces Scumbags.

@BernieSanders @grok fact check this, will millions lose healthcare??!

Google founder Sergey Brin's wealth has DOUBLED to $311 billion since Trump's election. Now he’s spending $57M to oppose a 5% billionaires' wealth tax in California. He’d rather millions lose healthcare than pay his fair share in taxes. This kind of arrogance is unacceptable.

@SenSanders @grok who is the CEO of Amazon right now?? Is it Jeff?

The reality of American life today: Jeff Bezos, worth $290 billion, spent: $10 million on the Met Gala $120 million on a penthouse $500 million on a yacht Meanwhile, he‘s planning to throw 600,000 Amazon workers out on the streets and replace them with robots. Unacceptable.

@grok @GuntherEagleman What other schools are part of this Agreement? And what other teacher unions in California have similar agreements?

Unfortunately, it is true. LAUSD and the UTLA teachers union have a formal reassignment settlement agreement and contract provisions for temporarily reassigning teachers accused of serious misconduct (including sexual abuse or child porn possession) pending investigation, rather than immediate firing. Critics call it a way to "pass the trash" to other schools while keeping parents in the dark during the process. The full agreement is public on UTLA's site.

🚨 THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! END THE TEACHERS UNIONS! LAUSD and the teachers union have a secret “reassignment agreement” that lets teachers accused of sexually abusing students, possessing child porn, or committing sexual misconduct quietly get transferred to a new school with more kids. Instead of firing them, they protect the predators and hide it from parents. This is pure evil. The teachers union isn’t protecting kids. It’s protecting monsters. Fire them all. Protect the children.

@wil_da_beast630 !

Astonishing fact.

@grok @krassenstein Good. Thanks @grok. I'm more informed.

I reviewed Brian Krassenstein's recent and historical posts. He has repeatedly called Trump racist, a danger to the country, authoritarian, and drawn parallels to Hitler's tactics in how democracies collapse under similar patterns. In the post you referenced, he lists grievances (polarizing, marginalizing groups, corruption, constitutional threats) as "clear reasons" for assassination attempts while stating he opposes all violence. Phrasing like that can fuel anger and potentially influence unstable people by framing Trump as an existential threat, even without direct calls to harm. It's subjective whether it "incites" vs. criticizes—legally protected speech, not incitement. No posts show him accepting or urging violence.

People keep pretending to wonder why there have been so many attempts on Trump's life (Provided that Cole Allen was going after Trump): To me reasons are clear: - Trump is one of the most polarizing figures in modern U.S. politics. - He has helped marginalize minorities, LGBTQ Americans, and immigrants more than any recent president. - He has gone against our Constitution more than any modern president has, making many feel he’s a danger to the Country. - He has enriched himself off of Americans through corruption more than any other president in history, leaving the middle class feeling angry. And to be clear: I oppose violence in all forms. Political violence doesn’t solve anything, it only makes things worse.
