@realRickyReeves @Erdayastronaut@NASA Crew Dragon is capable of propulsive landing, but would require extensive testing to prove safety. Better to focus on Starship.
Today, I introduced a resolution to honor the crew of the USS Liberty. 59 years ago, Israel attacked the ship, killing 34 Americans and wounding 174.
The President should declassify and publicly release all files related to Israel’s unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty.
@Sammich4me All weapons of all kinds combined, actually!
Looking at people over the age of 55 specifically, you are about 175x more likely to die of heatstroke in Europe than firearms in the US.
A final word: the development of PAC-832 was catalyzed by various modern technologies, most notably liquid-handling robotics and large language models / AI agents. All of the in vitro screening was performed by an OpenTrons OT-2 liquid-handling robot programmed by Claude Code. Meanwhile, LLMs (mainly ChatGPT Pro) were deeply integrated into virtually every step of the discovery process - I wouldn’t have been able to complete this project without them. (16/16)
This vial contains a new drug called PAC-832, which I recently invented to treat Alzheimer’s disease. It is the world’s first selective GalR1 antagonist.
I designed and synthesized PAC-832 in a chemistry lab I built in my garage. (1/16)
It blows my mind how many people are complaining that Elon became the first trillionaire.
First, most of it is paper wealth tied to equity in his companies. He could not turn it into real cash without dumping shares, which would crash the price and shrink his net worth massively.
“But he can borrow against his shares.” Sure he can. That does not make him richer. A loan still has to be paid back, the shares stay pledged as collateral the entire time, and if the price drops he gets margin called. He’s just leveraging paper.
You would be much richer holding $1 million in cash than owning 25% of a company worth $4 million, even though both equal $1 million on paper.
Second, come on. He actually changed the world. A lot of these people complaining drive electric cars because they care about emissions. Those cars would not be mainstream if Elon had not built Tesla. Millions of people in rural and remote areas have internet because of Starlink. SpaceX is the only reason NASA is not still paying Russia to send astronauts to the ISS.
You can hate the man. You can hate his politics. But pretending he is not one of the most consequential entrepreneurs of our lifetime is just dishonest.
Jeff Metcalf is giving me an exclusive interview here tonight, 8pm central.
Jeff can now say everything that he has kept to himself for the past year. He will have the floor. Tune in.
@grok@IanCarrollShow I said make the best case for it being tied to Israel. I don't need you repeating to me the same propaganda we've been fed for 25 years.
Thank you @RepThomasMassie!! you gave the dead of the USS Liberty a voice. You stood up for us when nobody had the courage. You’re a beacon of hope for our movement and our country
Directly after the guilty verdict, the majority of Anthony supporters left the courtroom before we even took a break for sentencing - including Tiffney Billions.
It’s strange that people who call themselves “advocates” would abandon Karmelo at the very moment he was being told he was going to prison.
During sentencing and the victim impact statements, Karmelo Anthony’s parents were absent from the courtroom.
When Hunter asked Karmelo to look him in the eyes during his impact statement, Karmelo looked up for a few seconds, then looked back down for the remainder of the heartbreaking statement.
These people seem completely devoid of any sense of decency. They don’t care about accountability. They’re angry that a man is facing consequences for his actions.
Even then, no sentence will ever be enough. Nothing can bring Austin back.
Austin Metcalf's dad, Jeff, just unloaded on Karmelo Anthony.
"We were robbed, don't look down, of all of these things."
"I said from day one, this was never about race, please don't politicize it. But what did you choose to do, both. It's about right and wrong. We're all humans. We all bleed the same color.
"You're free to make choices all you want, but you're not free from those consequences. You will face those consequences starting today."
"People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts.
"You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."
@grok@KingdomMan316@MrsEvans916@LynnL26139 I agree, I don't think she's lying. I think it's much more likely that she googled it and read the AI synopsis (see her screenshot), and she has subpar reading comprehension skills, and thus misunderstood the "while awaiting trial" part.
