@SawyerMerritt The discount to upgrade for those who bought FSD should be the price they paid plus the compounding effect over the years. likely 3-5x from the price they paid for the discount - nothing less. what are your thoughts

@SawyerMerritt It also increases the pressure on Tesla to deliver a great product. One can easily stop paying the monthly price if FSD is not what they expect. This way they have to prfect FSD to the point that FSD is the reason people buy a TESLA

Yesterday's UN walkout wasn't just a boycott-it was a gut punch. Delegations stormed out as Israel's Prime Minister took the stage, aiming to humiliate him and, by extension, a whole nation. They wanted to shame a people who've faced centuries of hatred, from ancient pogroms to modern jihad. But here's the thing: you can't humiliate resilience.

Jewish people have survived worse-exile, genocide, terror-and come out stronger, sharing their brilliance with the world. Look at their legacy: Nobel Prize winners in science, medicine, physics. Innovators in tech, cybersecurity, AI. Artists, writers, filmmakers shaping culture globally. In the U.S., seven million Jews drive economy, law, entertainment-think Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street.

Israel, a sliver of land, outshines nations ten times its size in startups, water tech, defense against barbarism. They earned this not by bullying or buying votes, but by building, creating, giving. Biblical promises? Call it divine intelligence-a moral compass for progress.

Now flip it: Gaza's tragedy weaponized to delegitimize Jews. Palestinians and supporters cheer this boycott, celebrating a win. But what did they earn? Legitimacy through violence, terrorism, oil bribes, UN manipulation? Numbers over merit? Blackmail over brains? They're digging their grave, attacking a pillar of civilization for what-seventh-century ideology? Intimidation? It's devastating for humanity, choosing dark forces over light.

Don't mourn the walkout; celebrate survival. Israel thrives despite hate because who they are-innovators, defenders of democracy-can't be erased. The world needs Jewish grit more than ever.

To my Jewish friends: Your strength isn't just enduring; it's uplifting us all. Keep shining-they'll see the void they have created soon enough. 🙏

Se manifiestan violentamente en Madrid por un territorio que está a 3.600km, contra unos deportistas que nada tienen que ver con el conflicto y 1 semana después de que los terroristas que defienden mataran a un español. No cabe un enfermo mental más en este país. Qué barbaridad.

Sorry @GregAbbott_TX, if Florida gets rid of property taxes, I'm selling my properties here in Texas and moving to Florida.

Time to end property taxes here in Texas.

It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama did not when striking Bin Laden. Why can’t our Party just say it’s great we achieved the objective and destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites, god bless the soldiers who carried this out and made it home safely, god bless our country, military, allies, and we look forward to a full intel briefing. 🇺🇸. If one must then assert Congressional authority at the moment, add that any escalation will require congressional approval. And if you must, express concern for where this may go and what might come next.

But, for so many in my Party to knee jerk with unhinged calls for impeachment - and sadly omit in their statement support for Iran not having nuclear weapons, which has been a principle of our Party for 40 years -is truly TDS.

[Gedaliah Blum 🇮🇱 @GedaliahBlum]

Imam Hassen Chalghoumi of Drancy, near Paris, is astonished by what Israel is currently doing in Iran. He writes:

I, a son of Ishmael, an imam, a Muslim, a man of peace, hereby present my sincere testimony about this extraordinary people:

I must admit, I believe in religions and miracles. But there is something about this people — the people of Israel — that feels like a living miracle.

A people the Pharaohs tried to erase 3,000 years ago… and failed.
A people the Babylonians tried to annihilate 2,500 years ago… and failed.
A people the Romans tried to wipe out 2,000 years ago… and failed.
A people the Nazis tried to exterminate 80 years ago… and failed to erase.
A people the Arabs fought in five wars to wipe off the map… and failed.

This is a small nation in number, but with a unique strength — a divine blessing. Wherever it lays its hand, it succeeds: in finance, commerce, science, philosophy, literature… A desert land turned into a paradise, without oil or gas, but with liberty, democracy, intelligence, and determination.

This is a people who gave the world Einstein, Newton, Kafka, Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Spinoza, Freud… and many others who left a mark on humanity.

There are realities that neither reason nor logic can explain.
There is only one word for it: miracle.

For two and a half years now, this people has been fighting on five fronts. They said it was tired, that it was about to collapse… and yet, it surprises the world by opening a new front against the Iranian enemy — one that frightens even Arab regimes.

This people, though small in number, possesses the courage of nobles, the wisdom of prophets, the patience of the righteous, and the determination of survivors. How could it be otherwise, when it is known they are the descendants of Abraham, Solomon, David, Moses, Jacob, Joseph… and 1,523 prophets and emissaries from their lineage?

This is a people who brought monotheism and faith in one God to the world. A people driven by a thirst for life, for work, for innovation, and for continuity — a drive that has lasted more than 4,000 years.

Truly, I find no other word to describe them but: a nation of miracles.

If the Arabs had clear vision, they would choose to unite with this people, to learn from them, to cooperate with them… perhaps they would absorb some of their knowledge, wisdom, and dignity.

The Islamic Republic has come to its end and is collapsing. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together we will turn the page of history. Now is the time to stand up; the time to reclaim Iran. May I be with you soon.
