There are so many lies about Elon Musk. The truth is actually very simple. He’s a straightforward guy who does everything he can to help all of humanity. https://t.co/JNp5p4g6Yi

Elon Musk would’ve been banned on Twitter 1.0 for posting this. He’s EXACTLY correct here too. https://t.co/NML0FtaF27

A very interesting observation by Elon below. And it’s just one example. Startups have brought more progress to the world this century than any NGO or government program. By far. When you hear NGO, think NoGO. They provide some incremental, mostly palliative care, but they don’t lead structural change for the better, and sometimes, achieve quite the opposite. How can we do better? One idea: we should allow donations to corporations to be as tax-deductible as to NGOs. Unleash catalytic philanthropy. I first had this thought when Larry Page reflected that were he to be hit by a bus, he should leave his entire estate to Elon Musk, instead of any non-profit he could think of, because he believes in the missions of SpaceX and Tesla and knows they are more likely to achieve their mission than any non-profit. And they become self-sustaining from internal cash flows; early donations are catalytic, and more rewarding to the donor than the unsustainable cost center inefficiency and waste of most NGOs. — video clip of my discussion with Elon about this: https://t.co/buv2CHr9NK

Elon Musk: "There must also be freedom of speech, such that the people know what the truth is. Otherwise, they cannot make an informed decision If you do not have freedom of speech, you cannot have a democracy, because the public cannot make an informed decision about their vote if there is not freedom of information"

Have you heard about the new Perplexity PC? 👀 They’re taking a standard Mac mini and integrating their AI directly into the OS. Instead of switching tabs, your AI is always on and working natively in your environment. Would you use an AI-first machine? https://t.co/7biVqLOj1G

🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.

Marc Andreessen highlights why the people who work for Elon Musk echo the exact same sentiment as those who worked for Steve Jobs. Even after difficult interactions or a sudden departure, they inevitably report that they did the best work of their entire lives because they were pushed to their absolute limits. What drives this intense environment is a demand for truth-seeking at all costs. People who criticize Elon often miss this fundamental trait. He genuinely wants to know the ground truth and has zero tolerance for anything else. When confronting bad news, he is absolutely ruthless and relentless in making sure he understands exactly what is actually going on. This level of radical transparency is shockingly rare in the business world. The typical startup founder operates on forced optimism, constantly putting on a brave face, telling everyone to have faith, and promising that everything will be great just to keep talent from leaving. Elon completely flips that standard script. He operates with pure urgency by simply telling the unfiltered truth, even when that truth is that the company will go bankrupt and die if they fail. In almost any other corporate environment, that level of blunt, existential dread would cause the talent pool to immediately bleed out. But for the teams working under him, that brutal honesty acts as the ultimate catalyst. It strips away the corporate fluff and forces them to rise to the occasion, leaving them with the undeniable realization that, much like the engineers who built the first iPhone, they just completed the greatest work of their careers.

TIL how Meta got the rights to "Meta". It was an interesting coincidence! Turns out Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative acquired a company called Meta that was building AI for searching scientific literature way back in 2017. Then, when Facebook rebranded to Meta in 2021, CZI transferred the rights and shut down the search engine product lol

Terence Tao proposes what he calls a "Copernican view of intelligence". Instead of buying into the common, one-dimensional narrative that artificial intelligence will simply evolve from "subhuman" to "superhuman" and ultimately make humanity entirely redundant, Tao urges us to look at the bigger picture. Much like the Copernican revolution proved the Earth is not the center of the universe, Tao suggests we need to realize that human intelligence isn't the only, or necessarily the highest, form of intellect. Historically, we have treated other forms of storing or creating knowledge—like animals, books, and computers—as secondary. However, we actually exist within a much richer universe of intelligence. Both human intelligence and computer intelligence possess their own distinct strengths and weaknesses. The true potential lies not in viewing them as direct competitors, but rather in focusing on collaboration. By working together, humans and computers can achieve additional things that neither could accomplish on their own, requiring us to think in much wider terms than just what humans or computers can do alone.

Every year for Coachella, Tesla deploys mobile Supercharger stalls powered by Megapack batteries to keep up with demand. It’s important since many Coachella visitors camp in their Teslas during the weekends. Tesla says the Megapacks have 3 MWh of capacity, capable of charging ~75 cars via 8x 250 kW posts, and are Starlink-connected. They are recharged within hours by taking a nearby Supercharger cabinet offline at night, when usage is low.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

Economists Starting to Admit They May Have Been Wrong About AI Never Replacing Human Jobs https://t.co/FoGRTY1xXU

According to Waymo's published data, their technology is preventing injuries & deaths. My view is that if this is true, and I have yet to see a debunking of their data, then we safety advocates should be welcoming the technology. If Waymo is lying or manipulating data, then write about how they're doing that! Instead the analysis in this recent Streetsblog article is limited to "the authors of the Waymo safety report work for Waymo!" FFS, are we going to toss out all the NYCDOT reports about how their bike lanes improve safety? Are we going to toss out the decongestion pricing reports because they were written by the transit employees who want transit to succeed? I hope not! Here's what we've been told by Waymo: ✅ 170.7 million rider-only miles driven without a human driver (equivalent to roughly 200 human lifetimes of driving). ✅ 92% fewer serious injury or worse crashes compared to human drivers in the same cities and conditions (0.02 incidents per million miles vs. 0.22 for humans; 35 fewer such crashes). ✅ 83% fewer airbag-deployment crashes in any vehicle (230 fewer crashes). ✅ 82% fewer injury-causing crashes overall (544 fewer crashes). ✅ 92% fewer pedestrian injury crashes compared to human benchmarks. ✅ 85% fewer cyclist injury crashes. ✅ 81% fewer motorcycle injury crashes. ✅ No fatalities caused by the Waymo Driver across these 170.7 million driverless miles. ✅ At current scale (over 4 million miles per week), Waymo prevents 1 serious injury crash every 8 days. If data is manipulated or false, then report on that. Otherwise you come out looking like someone who only likes safety benefits that aren't shaped like a car. It's going to set back Vision Zero advocacy in states across the country that are on the fence about allowing autonomous vehicle operations. Waymo does have a profit motive. So do corporations who build homes, distribute food, host concerts, publish books, and make medicine. Not all of them are the same and some are downright awful. Always challenge motives and incentives. What's interesting about Waymo is that they have a financial incentive in being the absolute safest form of motorized vehicle on the street. They'll lose business if their software is just as dangerous as an average human driver. But that in no way means streets must be overtaken by motor vehicles (theirs or any other brand). What do we want? 92% fewer pedestrian injury crashes compared to humans? 85% fewer cyclist injury crashes? Then come up with a way to let AVs into cities across the country.

🚨RESEARCHERS JUST MATHEMATICALLY PROVED THAT AI LAYOFFS WILL DESTROY THE ECONOMY.. AND EVERY CEO ALREADY KNOWS IT.. BUT NONE OF THEM CAN STOP.. Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper called "The AI Layoff Trap".. They proved something terrifying.. Every company replacing workers with AI is also firing its own customers.. Every laid-off employee is someone who used to spend money.. When enough people lose their jobs.. Nobody can afford to buy anything.. And the companies that fired everyone go bankrupt selling products to an economy with no purchasing power.. Every CEO can see this coming.. The math is obvious.. Fire workers.. Lose customers.. Lose revenue.. Collapse.. But here's the trap.. No company can afford to stop.. If you don't automate.. Your competitor will.. They cut costs.. Undercut your prices.. Steal your market share.. And you die anyway.. So every company automates.. Knowing it's collectively suicidal.. Because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives.. It's a Prisoner's Dilemma.. And the researchers proved it mathematically.. The numbers are already stacking up.. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year.. CEO Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that "within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion".. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI.. Goldman Sachs deployed an AI coder that lets one senior engineer do the work of a five-person team.. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 alone.. AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half the cases.. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation.. And here's what should scare policymakers.. The researchers tested every proposed solution.. Universal Basic Income.. Doesn't fix it.. It raises living standards but doesn't change a single company's incentive to automate.. Capital income taxes.. Don't fix it.. They change profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human.. Worker equity and profit sharing.. Narrows the gap but can't close it.. Collective bargaining.. Can't fix it.. Because automating is a dominant strategy.. No voluntary agreement between companies is self-enforcing.. Only one thing works.. A Pigouvian automation tax.. A per-task charge that forces every company to pay for the demand it destroys when it fires a worker.. The researchers call it a "Red Queen effect".. Better AI doesn't solve the problem.. It makes it worse.. Because every company sees a bigger market share gain from automating faster than rivals.. But at the end.. Everyone automates equally.. The gains cancel out.. And the only thing left is more destroyed demand.. The paper's conclusion is devastating.. This isn't a transfer from workers to company owners.. Both sides lose.. Workers lose their income.. Companies lose their customers.. It's a deadweight loss that harms everyone.. And no market force can break the cycle.. The AI layoff trap isn't a prediction.. It's already happening.. And the math says it won't stop on its own.
