Hey @elonmusk, you really need to do better and install manual door releases for all Tesla doors, not just the front doors. In case of a fire emergency, you would be dead before you could get out of the rear seats, even if you knew exactly how to find the hidden manual releases.

I wish we still had ⁦@TheDickCavett⁩ show or something similar. Real interviews with profoundly mesmerizing people like #bobbyfischer. youtube.com/watch?v=pc3woQCB…

American-made is #S3XY again: ⁦@Tesla⁩’s consumer vehicles (Models S, 3, X, and Y) win the top 4 spots of the most “American-made” cars in the world. ⁦@elonmusk⁩ cars.com/articles/2023-cars-…

Wow, this is not something you see every day...a government official bestowing a Peace Prize on a corporate exec, in this case the incoming @Visa CEO Ryan McInerney. Sometimes companies get it right. #Bravo

Kudos to these GenZers for leading by example and demonstrating the goodness of humanity. Hopefully their actions spawn many more good acts of kindness. Classmates wouldn’t sign his yearbook. So older students stepped in. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

Mistakes or not, it is wrong to vilify the police, which is just blaming the "bandaid" for not stopping the bullet holes. The true cause is that an 18-yr old psycho was given easy access to military-grade weapons because our politicians are owned by the gun lobby. #GunReformNow

5/4 Transformation is hard. @Twitter won't let me edit my tweets to say 5/5. :) In all seriousness, I feel for the massive armies of people who do transformation work, especially in financial services. It is insanely hard.

4/4 Transformation is hard. @Zelle limits on my US bank accounts are so low, I can't even pay rent without dividing my payments up across multiple days, and I still get blocked sometimes. The fintech revolution started almost 20 years ago and we are still only in the 2nd inning!

3/4 Transformation is hard. Highly funded and very innovative big banks like @JMorganchase and @CapitalOne still require visits to bank branches and meetings with bankers just to set up a simple LLC bank account.

2/4 Transformation is hard. After huge fan fair and ad campaigns on their new online tools, @TruistNews bank doesn't offer an online way to set up auto payments even though their entire business relies on getting paid; I must print, sign, and snail mail a paper request form.

1/4 Transformation is hard. #6 largest North American bank @TDBank_US still doesn't offer online statements; they tell me request a paper statement from the call center or go to a branch to get a paper statement if I need it.

OMG, welcome to how I see the world, people...

I am all of a sudden optimistic about the future of Twitter and more broadly social media. @elonmusk will push a level of transparency that will force the hand of other social media giants.

Given the Russia sanctions, can you imagine where our U.S. space program would be without @spacex @elonmusk, who currently provide the only non-Russian option for U.S. astronauts to get to orbit and to the @Space_Station? Glad that @spacex didn't pause during the pandemic!

Awesome!
