SACKS: “We're really lucky that [Trump] is President … when this AI revolution is happening.”
JASON: “What would happen if Kamala ‘Ding Dong’ was in right now?”
SACKS: “We'd have no data centers, they'd be using AI to censor us, and they'd be promoting DEI values through AI.”
Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.
AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.
This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.
We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.
Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.
The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

A personal note. After years of public discussion/work: the podcast, social media, venture capital, everything — I'm stepping back to focus on my family.
My kids are growing fast. My wife deserves the best of me. To everyone who listened, read, grew, and built alongside me — thank you. What a blessing you all have been!
Most people might miss the biggest benefit of sauna
You need to get really really hot…
Your core body temperature needs to hit 102.4°F (39°C).
For reference, a fever is anything above 100.4°F (38°C)
So I swallowed a temperature monitoring pill. It goes through your digestive tract and precisely measures your internal temperature every 30 seconds.
When your core body temperature hits the goal of 102°F, your body releases these proteins (heat shock proteins - HSPs) that clean up your body’s debris.
I was curious what time my body hits this goal because up until now, I’ve been doing 20 mins of 200°F dry sauna.
… it turns out it takes 31 minutes
It feels like you’re dying.
I didn't expert such pain and panic.
Before this experiment, I did over 200 sauna sessions at 200°F for 20 min.
This means I likely never achieved the heat shock protein (HSP) threshold at 102.4°F (39°C), which deprived me of so much sauna-health goodness.
If your sauna doesn’t heat up to temperatures allowing your core temperature to reach 102.4°F (39°C) or you struggle to tolerate heat, do not be discouraged. The dry sessions I did at 200°F (93°C) for 20 min still showed incredibly health benefits.
My previous 20 min sessions still showed:
1) 10+ yr reduction of my vascular age
2) 87% reduction of microplastics
3) detox of environmental toxins
4) fertility marker improvement
Will report back once I have results on this new protocol…
If the UK joined the US as the 51st state.
We would be the poorest state in the entire union.
Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us.
I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita.
We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations.
We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases.
The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.
𝕏 has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline.
Today we're launching our new Cashtags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone, bringing real-time financial data to X.
Here's how it works:
1. When you search for or post a cashtag (or contract address), X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens, so you can select the exact asset you had in mind.
2. Anyone who taps a Cashtag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart—without ever leaving X.
This ensures that you're always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token.
Cashtags are just the first step in our commitment to be the best destination for the finance and crypto community.
I’ve spent a decade telling people to do what I do: "Buy and Hold."
Now I've decided to list my entire real estate portfolio for sale and walk away.
It started slow. The bills, the maintenance, the tax increases... but the final straw was when I tried to develop an ADU to do exactly what the city of LA claims it wants investors like me to do: Create more housing. You'd think they'd make it easier, but after two delayed inspections, a sewer pipe replacement that needed 75 days advance notice, and a city-owned tree that became my responsibility, I'd had enough.
The identity of being a real-estate guy is very hard to walk away from, trust me. For a long time, I stayed just because real estate was my "thing." It’s how I started. It’s what I’m known for. It led to every good thing in my life. But that blinded me to the fact that just because something served me in the past, it doesn't mean things haven't changed in the present.
The reality of 2026 finally stripped the emotion away. My LA rentals are netting about 4-5% after the constant background noise of taxes, insurance spikes, and repairs. Meanwhile, a risk-free Treasury pays 5%. The trade-off just doesn't make sense any more.
I’m reallocating to a liquid portfolio that actually lets me focus on the work I love. I published a deep dive on my Substack about the ADU nightmare that broke my patience, the exact numbers behind the exit, and where I’m moving the money next to buy back my sanity.
I'll drop the link here in a bit.
