@elonmusk Cybercar? grok.com/imagine/post/3…

Cybertruck is so awesome. Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it. Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it. gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know." he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done." neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals. together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity." spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined. the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

America subsidizes healthcare for the rest of the world. We pay for the discovery and innovation. We pay for the trials that verify safety. We trial the products on our people first. We are ~50% of the world market because companies didn’t need to negotiate because America was paying so much. Almost all countries outside the EU accept FDA clearance as the mark of safety the EU CE mark process was effectively forked from FDA (but has evolved on its own) Anyone that spews this nonsense has never worked in healthcare delivery or product innovation. Getting MFN status is the FIRST time somebody in our government has negotiated on Americas behalf.

Mexico getting universal healthcare before America is embarrassing. Israel has universal healthcare and America doesn't. Every major democracy around the world has some form of universal healthcare. Not America.

I’m happy that I live in time of technological revolution. I’m happy that I can feel inspired, optimistic, and the I can tell my boys tha the sky is the only limit.

@cremieuxrecueil Argh. People will now hate FDR and Churchill while simultaneously calling everyone they disagree with “Nazis”

This is not the only documented instance of gay entrapment in the 20th century. That South Park episode everyone's seen has some real-world precedent in these sorts of bizarre incidents. You can find the full interview here: thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/fdrs-gay-entra…

When the Senate investigated FDR over this, they were furious. They wanted him barred from holding public office because he was responsible for a bunch of innocent young sailors being sodomized. Since he ultimately went on to become the president, we know he got off scot-free.

@fsinghera1 @MarioNawfal @boringcompany Prototypes are front loaded. Scale up wouldn’t cost that much. A more extreme illustration is pharmaceuticals. The first pill is 1B. The next is < 99 cents.

@MarioNawfal @boringcompany Not even close to true. If we assume the same costs as the last Vegas loop which cost $50 million for 1.7 miles. It would cost $10 billion assuming the same costs which is laughable due to tougher terrain. Also that is without any track or ventilation shafts etc or stations

Boring Company Hyperloop. From LA to SF could cost under 5% of $126B. Same route. Different mindset. Faster build. Lower cost. High-speed rail is still burning billions on “planning.” Make that make sense. @boringcompany

@elonmusk @Teslaconomics @boringcompany Understand & Agree. Just wondering about building underground through the San Andreas fault line. Can the project stay under? Side note. Once Optimus is operational , can you just do it? 8B seems like a rounding error. @grok is there a federal version of eminent domain?

@Teslaconomics @boringcompany The real reason for the “high speed rail” is money-laundering to bureaucrats, consultants & unions, not actually transport. That is where the billions spent so far have gone. That is why they don’t want an actually cost-efficient high speed transport system.

The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

@WallStreetApes Two fixes. 1) dischargable through bankruptcy or at least restructuring of debt. 2) schools need to underwrite at least 30%

American medical student just did “horrifying math” on her student loans - Her amount due is $396,945.67 - Annual interest rate: 5.875% - Monthly interest accrual: $1,943.38 Her monthly resident paycheck is $4,054.98 HALF her income goes to just interest… She says if she pays nothing toward interest, the loan would grow to roughly $600,000 by the time she finishes residency Interest rates on student loans are predatory and should be illegal. This is usury

USA!

You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.

@oelma__ Replace

@oelma__ Stock.

You just won $5 million. What's your first purchase?

@Ric_RTP The likely outcome is to dilute and pass 150 B in paper share value to the non-profit arm. Dilutes all investors, but ultimately it it’s a no op. Bigger issue is that OpenAI has to take their eye off the ball. Allowing competition to emerge

In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

@SamanthaTaghoy I’m honestly impressed she can remember the full acronym on camera-zero stutter.

“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” The Canadian government just dropped this absolute monstrosity (and no, it isn’t satire).

@Arifromanhattan @Jason @InvestAmerica24 @SusanDell @MichaelDell Is your signature in caps too? 😂

@Jason @InvestAmerica24 @SusanDell @MichaelDell WHERE DO I SIGN 🖋️

Easy solution to stopping socialism and AI anxiety: get half of those of us lucky enough to be in the top 1% to commit to a new "giving pledge" where they give 5% of their stock/net worth to @InvestAmerica24 accounts --- like @SusanDell and @MichaelDell did. ... as opposed to giving your money to the dysfunctional. non-profit industrial complex. tell me why I'm wrong in the comments in a thoughtful way

@Nlazaro24 @jakeglmn Nope. i helps but is masks the problem. Testosterone will go up but you will still have elevated levels of estrogen. also if you take too much, your body converts excess to estrogen—worsening the problem

@jakeglmn Just take some testosterone. Boom, problem solved

This is reproductive scientist Dr. Shanna Swan. After 30 years studying the global fertility collapse... She just went on Joe Rogan & revealed why men today have half the testosterone of their grandfathers. Here are the 7 most shocking findings: 1. It's not just men

This is terrible.
