Im Spiegel habe ich mit @Luisamneubauer nicht nur über die richtige Klimaschutzpolitik gestritten, sondern auch bewusst nach Gemeinsamkeiten gesucht. Vielen Dank für das kontroverse und zugleich konstruktive Gespräch. /tm

The headlines have faded, but I have not forgotten.
So I painted her.

“The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance”
Psalm 112:6
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to pass the torch and demote myself to my natural state: a poster. I'll be stepping back from leading product for 𝕏 and will continue on as an advisor.
Serving the X community has been the privilege of a lifetime. X is, and will remain, the most important communication technology in history. But running this app is a 24/7 job and it's now time for me to take a breather.
The app is seeing unprecedented growth in new users & engagement. We continue to break records every month. We've climbed 70 spots in the App Store since this time last year.
And in the last 400 days, we rebuilt almost every aspect of X: the Timeline, the Android app, onboarding, notifications, chat and more.
We also launched nearly 30 new products while protecting the integrity of the town square: becoming the first app to show Country-of-Origin on profiles and mounting defenses against AI bots. There's certainly much more work to be done, but our foundation is stronger than ever.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible team here. The next leaders will take X to even greater heights with @benjitaylor on design, @singhai on core product engineering and @dinkin_flickaa on mobile engineering -- among many other great people.
Thank you to Elon and the X team for welcoming me into the company. See you on the Timeline.

"Get married. Have children. Build a legacy. Pass down your values.
Pursue the eternal. Seek true joy.”

This is so freaking beautiful.
The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
Kids come alive when two parents love each other & them.
Who watched Laurence Fox at the Oxford Union debate?
That envelope moment was peak theatre a real tour de force that shut his rival debater up and won him much applause, even from the other side.
How would you rate his performance?
The next election will be an existential fight to save the country we love, a mission I have now been fighting for over 30 years.
After two national election victories in as many years, many people now recognise that it will be a binary choice between Reform UK and Labour.
With the prospect of an early general election increasingly likely, it is natural that people from across the political spectrum are considering which side of that fight they intend to be on. Patriotic voters believe in many of the same things, but only one party truly has the possibility of delivering change.
To deliver that change, I understand Reform UK will need the support of people from other parties, as well as millions who have never voted before. That is the broad coalition I am building.
Over the last 18 months, I have demonstrated that our movement will always be open to anyone who shares our commitment to restoring Britain’s borders, rebuilding our economy, renewing our democracy and putting the British people first.
My previous history in politics has also shown that I am always prepared to put country before party, as I did in 2019. But I will never turn my back on my team.
There will always be a home in Reform UK for those who believe that 14 years of Conservative government, followed by the last 2 years of Labour, have failed the British people... and that our country now needs a fundamentally different direction.
I will continue to do whatever is necessary to defeat the left and provide Britain with the strong, serious leadership it deserves. This is the last chance for our country, and we cannot afford to waste it.
Nothing in my life compares to my children.
I have had a career overwhelming in its depth, excitement, intrigue, mystery and consequence. I love my wife Tammy deeply—loyal, beautiful, provocative—my friend for more than fifty years. It's a privilege and an honor to be married to her. I can't believe my good fortune in a partner.
But nothing in my life compares to my children.
And they in turn love their children. Julian and his wife Jillian have three. That's an increasingly rare accomplishment. They were bested on that front, however, this week.
My daughter Mikhaila and her husband Jordan welcomed the arrival of their fourth child Francis Jordan Fuller, eight pounds one oz, Tuesday, July 28 at 11:14 PM.
Mother and son are doing well.
Let us take a moment, in consequence, to marvel at women.
Over the last three years, I watched my daughter Mikhaila juggle my affairs and my illness, start and run Peterson Academy with her husband Jordan, launch Afterparty, a new commercial product, while preparing two more (coming soon), and initiate a formal clinical trial of a dietary intervention for autoimmune disorders—all the while, pregnant and with small children.
George is not yet three, Audrey not two, and now, in the midst of all that, Francis. And her pregnancies have not been easy: Mik's health is precarious, in consequence of her auto-immune condition, which manifested itself early in her life and took two of her joints: her left ankle and her right hip. She's managed to put into remission what the staff at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children described as the worst case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis they had even seen. But maintaining that requires constant attention and management.
Mikhaila has an older child, too. Elizabeth Scarlett, now nearing nine. She's an absolute delight, as healthy, well-managed children can God willing be: clowny, happy, clear-headed, playful, beautiful, social, friendly, smart and talented. George, a little clown himself, is thriving and—more miraculously—so is Audrey.
That little girl was hospitalized last year with a rare virally induced cardiac problem. It almost killed her. Mikhaila and my son-in-law JF spent weeks in the hospital with their new baby. Thank God she recovered.
None of that stopped my daughter. In the midst of catastrophe, she determined to bring forth new life: three children in the last three years. An all-consuming enterprise, which she has managed without being all consumed.
I suppose in some ways it's the most commonplace of things, although the deadly low birth rate in the West suggests otherwise. But life is the miraculous in the commonplace: there are some nine billion of us, but every one of us is unique—something that never happened before and never will again. The wise remember that every second of their lives.
And now we have Francis.
Congratulations, to Mikhaila and JF.
Congratulations, Tam, my love.
And to baby Francis Fuller: welcome to the world, terrible and wonderful as it is.
Because nothing says you have ‘no reason to be suspicious of Islam’ like explicitly threatening your debate opponent with a violent Islamist mob because he doesn’t agree with you about Islam.
