@CamiloBAcosta @0xkrma Zuckerberg dropped out, so not so good

@0xkrma He was Mark’s TA at HARVARD. I’m pretty sure he checks the box as qualified.

Boz is the biggest nepo hire. Being friends with Zuck pays off. He is the emblem of failing upwards in the Bay Area

@DarioCpx Then why attack Israel and Netanyahu?

I have a strong gut feeling that, 2 weeks ago, Trump was informed about oil inventories approaching critically low levels, forcing the price to snap back to reality because soon there won't be enough to fulfill all the demand. Since then, he has done all he could to "reopen" the SoH, to the point he ended up accepting all "unacceptable" Iran's requests that have NEVER changed since April Now the US government is rushing to reopen the SoH, aiming to restore the traffic back to the pre-war state. This is something that, objectively, is impossible to achieve because of the mines in the water, Iran's strong grip over it, the war damage that will take months to repair, and the shipping industry unwilling to venture within the strait till there is 110% certainty the conflict won't escalate again. As I write these words, the Israeli army is still in Lebanon and has no intention to leave it. Objectively speaking, this means there won't be any official MoU signature between the US and Iran on Friday that starts the 60-day negotiation phase. Furthermore, Trump already said in a NYT interview on Monday that if he does not reach a satisfactory agreement with Iran, especially on the Uranium topic, he will resume the military campaign. Yesterday, a friend told me, "The market isn't trading based on reality; it is just betting the house on Trump" So far this week, there has been no meaningful pickup of traffic in the SoH despite Trump's rush to announce it was "fully reopened" Buyers around the world are still sitting on the sidelines; winter restocking is even over a month late, and peak driving season is starting. India is already rationing fuel, and the same is starting to happen in Russia, in case you missed the news. Refining spreads remain close to the peak too, as a sign of how strong demand is. This is the simple reality, and traders are sticking their heads deep in the sand to avoid seeing it betting on a Trump's "miracle", but the last time I checked miracles only exist in the Bible

@Lostinthefog4 @Kasparov63 The Kurds weee willing to do this, Trump blocked it

@Kasparov63 Any true removal of the Iranian regime would require ground troops. That would mean dead Americans and is more difficult to do illegally without Congress. Iran knew this and knew he was bluffing hence they just had to sit it out until the heat became too much from oil prices.

Bret Stephens spot on as usual, on Trump and his Iran debacle. Like me, Bret supported the war to remove the vile and dangerous Islamic Republic regime. But Trump is who he is and what he is, and Iran has exploited his inconsistency and cowardice. nytimes.com/2026/06/16/opi…

@HTRogues @jessisajew There are 400,000 US citizens resident in Israel

@jessisajew Who the fuck do you think you are to dictate what our President says and does? The ONLY reason Israel is still standing is because of American taxpayers. Go fight your forever wars on your own, you disgusting cockroach. Leave America out of it.

Just so we're clear, Trump sabotaged the war with the Islamic Republic of Iran, cosied up with the Qataris and accepted $19 trillion dollars in bribe money, and then berated Israel for how it conducts warfare. Trump seems to have forgotten that Israel was the country that gained air superiority over Iran. Israel was the country that enabled the B52s to hit Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan. Israel was the country that took out the Ayatollah, Sinwar, Haniyeh, Deif, Abu Obeida, Nasrallah and more. And, Israel was the country that was so viciously attacked almost 3 years ago - the catalyst for what's happening today. Israel will never forget that, but seemingly, Trump has. Trump's administration came to the party late and ended the party early without even consulting the country he proclaimed is his country's 'greatest ally'. And his country isn't facing an existential threat on 7 fronts. Israel is. And Israel cannot and will not allow that. And that is something that Trump will never, ever understand. He's here for popularity. For votes. For fame. For a Nobel Peace Prize that should never come. Israel is here for life. We might be America's ally, but Trump has made is clear that America is not our ally. He can shove his opinions where the sun don't shine.

@shaunmmaguire Hilarious because the Dems will pull contracts and criminally investigate SpaceX once they get power

I think most investors are misunderstanding how soon orbital compute will ramp 99% of the difficulty was Starship The satellites themselves are a similar level of complexity as Starlink The bottleneck is Starship, which I believe is almost here

@alexbruesewitz The joke is on you, you are young enough to be drafted when this all blows up

I’m not bored in the slightest. I attended a World Cup game and a UFC fight on back-to-back days, and I’m having a great time. I am, however, concerned about the clearly coordinated messaging campaign on this app targeting President Trump’s efforts to reach a peace deal and Vice President @JDVance. Lastly, I have a strong relationship with the Jewish people. Any insinuation that I’m against Jews is completely unfounded. Loudmouth, unstable accounts on this app who are attacking the President while claiming to be “pro-Israel” like Mark Levin, who btw is now a member of the “Woke Right,” do far more harm than good to the Israeli cause.

@JackPosobiec @FischerKing64 They are fuckups, Vance should be accountable

It's become clear that the pressure campaign against the Trump deal is not only undercutting our President, but also targeting our VP. Many of the loudest voices you see were anti-Trump in the 2024 primary and backed DeSantis as well

@davidfrum What about wiles, Bondi, Patel, etc? Also paid by Qatar.

In retrospect, probably suboptimal that Trump administration's chief negotiators were in the pay of foreign governments

@JacintaAllanMP what "right"? you don't even have the right to employment!

BREAKING: We're introducing new laws today in Parliament to protect your right to work from home.

@Osint613 "We"? Netanyahu didn't sacrifice anything.

PM Netanyahu: • We destroyed Iran’s missile factories, military infrastructure, air force, and navy. • Most of Iran’s missile production capability has been eliminated. • Iran will need decades to recover, and Israel was saved from a nuclear threat. • We prevented the destruction of Israel, but the mission is not yet complete. • We eliminated Deif, Haniyeh, Sinwar, and other October 7 perpetrators, and brought all hostages home. • We eliminated Nasrallah and prevented an invasion of the Galilee. • We seized key areas in Lebanon used by Hezbollah to threaten Israel. • We destroyed Assad’s weapons stockpiles and will remain in security zones as needed. • We will not allow terrorist groups to establish themselves on our borders. • We changed Israel’s military doctrine by taking the initiative and restoring deterrence. • Despite criticism, we will continue achieving major successes. • We will strengthen Israel’s defense independence and advance breakthrough technologies. • We safeguarded Israel’s security interests in dealings with Trump and the United States. • Israel is in a far stronger position today than it was on October 7. • We restored security in the South and will do the same in the North. • We dealt devastating blows to Hezbollah and will apply the same approach in the North.

@Cernovich They were weeks off from winning via air attacks. And the Kurds were willing to open a front on the ground but were betrayed by the US, which stopped Israel from providing weapons (fuck Tom Barrack).

Israel didn’t want to send ground troops to Iran. Neither did the US. You can only do so much via air strikes. Neither country wanted to lose tens of thousands of lives in a bloody Ukraine Russia style drone war. Some people seem mad. I guess they wanted 🇺🇸 troops alone to die?

@eastdakota Grifting is not a source of power

With the big caveat that it can get screwed up very fast if the U.S. continues to move away from strong Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption policies.

Having seen a lot of the rest of the world, I agree this is most likely right.

@AustinFranco123 You'll need a Jewish lawyer, hahaha

Any lawyers who think i have a legitimate case to be made for doxxing, defamation, or something else feel free to reach out...

@agupta @JamesUlan100 @ycombinator lol, "annualized"

If anyone is hiring I am looking for a job

@shaunmmaguire @AntonioGracias Sucking Musk's dick doesn't make him a great investor

Antonio is emerging as the Arthur Rock of this era Rock was a founding investor in Intel (along with many other legendary companies) but most impressively he had an active role there for 30 years @AntonioGracias sets the standard for my generation

@JDVance You are a shit negotiator

I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace. I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts. The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.

@buffetsalpha @zerohedge Making up the losses in volume :)

@zerohedge They are not profitable at current prices. What exactly is the plan to profitability with even cheaper prices? Just hold on until the bag can be dumped on pension funds?

@heyrimsha Meta's AI is shit

An Australian mathematician from Perth who spent a decade at Meta building the framework half the AI world runs on, then moved to OpenAI, then co-founded a company with the former CTO of OpenAI, just accepted what is reported to be the largest individual hiring package in tech history. Mark Zuckerberg paid roughly $1.5 billion over six years to bring one person back to Meta. His name is Andrew Tulloch. Here is the story, because almost no one outside the AI infrastructure world knows what one engineer is worth right now. Andrew grew up in Perth, Australia. He studied at the University of Sydney and graduated with first class honors in mathematics. He went on to the University of Cambridge and earned a master's in mathematical statistics and machine learning. He started his career as a quantitative strategist at Goldman Sachs, applying advanced mathematical models to financial systems. In 2012 he joined Facebook, before it was Meta. He stayed for more than a decade. During that time he became one of the core technical contributors to PyTorch, the deep learning framework that now runs the majority of AI research on Earth. The framework was a Facebook AI Research project that grew into a community standard. Andrew worked on the underlying systems, the distributed training stack, and the hardware-aware optimization that made it production-ready at the scale Facebook needed. Then he left for OpenAI, where he contributed to advanced models inside the company that built ChatGPT and GPT-4. In February 2025 he co-founded Thinking Machines Lab with Mira Murati, John Schulman, Barret Zoph, Lilian Weng, and Luke Metz. Murati, the former OpenAI CTO who had run ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Sora, had walked out of OpenAI in September 2024 with no public explanation. Six months later her startup was real and Andrew was on the founding team. The company raised $2 billion in its first five months. The valuation hit $12 billion. They built a product called Tinker, which lets developers fine-tune frontier models without managing distributed compute. Their public bet was different from everyone else's. While other labs raced to build bigger models, Thinking Machines focused on smarter post-training techniques. Then Mark Zuckerberg made his move. Meta had been losing ground in the AI race. Zuckerberg tried to acquire Thinking Machines for a reported $1 billion. Murati refused. He responded with a direct campaign to hire her most valuable people. The primary target was Andrew. Meta's pitch to him was reportedly a package worth up to $1.5 billion over six years, combining salary, bonuses, and stock awards. The number stunned the industry when it leaked. It would be one of the most expensive individual hires in the history of technology. Andrew initially refused. Then in October 2025 he accepted. He joined Meta Superintelligence Labs, the new division Zuckerberg had created in June 2025 under Alexandr Wang, the 28-year-old former Scale AI CEO whom Meta had installed as its first Chief AI Officer. Meta paid $14.3 billion for Scale AI to bring Wang in. Yann LeCun, who had led Meta AI for 12 years, departed soon after. 600 researchers were cut from FAIR. The first closed-source model from Superintelligence Labs, Muse Spark, launched on April 8, 2026. Andrew now works on the infrastructure problem at the scale of hundreds of thousands of GPUs. Public reporting describes Meta's target as around 350,000 NVIDIA H100s and roughly 600,000 H100-equivalents of compute. At that scale, even a 10 percent efficiency gain saves Meta hundreds of millions of dollars. That is the kind of impact only a small number of engineers on Earth can deliver, and Meta decided he was worth more than the GDP of small countries to have him doing it. A mathematician from Perth who once worked on quant trading at Goldman Sachs just became the most expensive engineer in the world. He spent a decade quietly building the foundations. Then everyone realized what those foundations were worth.
