Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵teapawt.net/elonmusk/status/206944…
All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.
Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.
If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!
On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.

Thank you, Seattle. You created an unforgettable day in American soccer history. I’ve seen a lot of days, but this was special. Onward. 🇺🇸⚽️

I’m George Conway, former Republican turned Democrat who’s running for Congress.
You already know I’m against Donald Trump. The whole damn world knows I’m against Donald Trump.
So let me tell you what I’m for:
I’m for democracy.
I’m for the rule of law.
I’m for equality under the law.
I’m for freedom of speech and religion.
And I’m for an America that works for everyone — not just those f*ckers who lie and cheat.
That’s why I’m running for Congress. If you’re ready to help me take this fight directly to Trump and his cronies, please chip in $10 or anything you can to this campaign today.

Honestly, Trump’s party purge makes it so much easier to vote in November. In the past I felt like it was my civic duty to review every candidate regardless of party. Now I can safely assume that any GOP candidate is Trumpy as hell and just vote straight against that.

I didn’t love the mayor’s flip comment, but the current hyperventilating right-wing portrait of Seattle on this site as a total backwater shithole where no business (or sane person) would ever want to be if it wasn’t for the low taxes on rich people is pretty funny.
Last time I checked, Seattle is:
(a) home to two of the seven biggest global tech giants (well, technically Microsoft is across the lake);
(b) the site of one of the country’s top 5 (and globally, top 10) public research universities;
(c) the most educated big blue city in the US, where 70 percent of residents over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s degree, and one of the three most literate;
(d) the third most affluent blue city in America, with a (still) fast rising median household income;
(e) a city that, after being the fastest growing big city in America in the 2010s, continues to grow - our population growth is on track to make us bigger than San Francisco before the end of the decade;
(f) blessed with a temperate climate where it rarely gets very cold or hot and with a breathtakingly beautiful Puget Sound landscape where mountains, ocean and islands are near at hand (the crappy weather claim is the funniest one of all - have any of these people ever spent a summer in the Pacific NW?);
(g) in close proximity to three of the US’ 63 national parks, which together draw millions on annual visitors;
(h) ranked just this year as the most livable city in the US based on an analysis of six criteria: quality of life, safety, healthcare access, disposable income, air quality and unemployment rates.
Oh, I could go on, but tell me again how our dark, damp winters are going to be the end of us all now that we’ve added a relatively modest tax on very high earners.

President of the nation most known as a beacon of freedom and individual liberty threatens to destroy Iranian power plants, which would create peril for many civilians, and the tribe members just nod their heads.
Charlie Carter retweeted
many americans believe the president cares more about himself than the country.
When someone on Twitter says "here are X truths they will never tell you about", understand you are about to receive advice from a conspiracy theorist.
To everyone reacting with dismay about changes in tax laws targeting the upper, and upper middle, class: I hear you, but until the growing wealth gap begins to reverse, or even just stops, you are most likely whistling into the wind.

To be in the top 1% of U.S. households by wealth, you need a net worth of approximately $13,666,778.
The minimum wealth threshold for the top 0.1% is currently approximately $38 million, with roughly 131,000 households falling into this elite bracket.
The median U.S. family net worth is approximately $192,900. To join the top 10%, you need roughly $1.9 million, and the top 25% requires about $659,000.

Remember when Musk dramatically cutting staff at X was evidence of his brilliance. Maybe good for bottom line, but this platform is no longer trusted source of current information

Here’s what worries me.@novogratz
We’re in an AI arms race because we fear China.
So the mindset becomes: faster, faster, faster.
Get to AGI first. No slowdown. Minimal guardrails.
The more important question is who’s driving it?
A handful of unelected tech CEOs with massive capital and enormous influence.
They are financially motivated so are we comfortable handing the steering wheel of humanity’s most powerful technology to a concentrated group of corporate actors?
Where’s the “why” conversation?
Productivity is great. Efficiency is great.
But if late-stage capitalism turns productivity into displacement at scale, what’s the social contract?
What’s the citizen impact?
This isn’t anti-innovation. It’s pro-governance.
When power consolidates this fast — whether in government or in corporations — history suggests consumers and citizens need to pay attention.

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.

a16z finally chimed in and they think AI should be used to spy on american citizens and control killer robots with no human supervision. Because of course they do.
