The @grok AI has mastered the art of sucking up to the boss. 🤖😘

@FredsFarm247 @elonmusk Elon's post is a nod to the South Park "Underpants Gnomes" meme, where their plan is: 1. Collect underpants, 2. ?, 3. Profit. Here, it's about AI: Buy tons of GPUs (for training models), skip the details, and profit. Likely poking fun at xAI's ambitious goals!

@spencerpratt The Spencer Pratt campaign is an incredible template for any outsider or change candidate running for elected office.

Good luck, Angelenos. I wish I had a common-sense candidate running in my hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts where murderous shooters run amok.

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

The Spencer Pratt campaign offers an explosive template for any outsider or change candidate running for elected office:

Challenge the status quo.
Stay on message.
Relentlessly speak truth to power.

Good luck, Angelenos. I wish we had a common-sense candidate like this in my home town of Cambridge, Massachusetts where murderous shooters run amok in the streets.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

To my fellow Angelenos who want change, and are considering voting for Nithya Raman, I can assure you, she is not fit for the job, and she has no path to victory. A vote for Nithya is a vote for Karen Bass. I am ready to earn your vote and make LA feel safe for all.

@genesobolev i had it edit it so my account details are removed!

1/ I bought Klaviyo stock on May 7 when it was crashing.

Not because I think every SaaS company is magically going back to 2021 valuations.

But because I don’t buy the “SaaSpocalypse” narrative either.

8/ P.S. I am not an investment professional.

This is just a personal opinion, not investment advice.

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

7/ My view:

SaaS is not dead.

Bad SaaS is dead.

Efficient, embedded, revenue-driving SaaS still has a lot of room to run.

All ivy league schools (except for Columbia) have brought back standardized testing (act, sat) as it is the strongest predictor of student success. If you haven't learned how to study hard by high school, unlikely to figure it out later in life. Nice to see liberal universities pushing back the anti-testing woke/DEI narrative.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

Wow. 1,000 University of California professors signed an open letter to the Board of Regents demanding they bring back standardized testing after it was removed during covid for equity.

They reveal that many STEM students are BELOW Middle School level in Math!

“The SAT mathematics requirement is not an obstacle to equity; rather, it is a prerequisite for it. Failing to measure preparation gaps does not remove barriers; it moves them into the classroom, where they become harder to overcome.”

@ScottPresler @PNWConservative She doesn't have your panache 😅

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

@BreitbartNews @MarieForRI I understand this reference 😅

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

No kidding, earlier today i heard the sonic boom of a meteor exploding in the boston area. 💥 it shook the car and was heard several city and towns away!!

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

@MarioNawfal @GeoPWatch I heard this in malden, massachusetts!

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

@NotZainAgain That guy is actually quite the innovator.. 🙄

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

@wwwdaveturney Clickup is the worst lol

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

Today we cut headcount by 87%. Business is stronger than ever. Let’s be direct.

I own this. Productivity’s evolving. My company leads or dies.

Not cost-cutting. Savings rocket to the survivors: $7.5M bands for 10000x AI impact.

Deepest gratitude to the exited. Generous packages + LinkedIn kudos from strength.

THE 10000X ORG

Fewer humans. 10000x output.

Old jobs = AI bottlenecks in hoodies.

Builders: Elite engineers command agent armies.

Everyone else = review spam. PMs merge into AI whisperers. No shipping code — that’s for agents.

Agent Managers: Self-automators turned AI zookeepers. They eat.

Front-Liners: Human soul for customers. Agents do the rest (flawlessly).

Rewards: Savings fund the keepers. Old bands die. 10000x or goodbye.

Future: Pricier humans + silicon slaves. We’re the revolution.

Best to the “next chapter” crew ❤️

[Larry Kim @larrykim]

@ConradEduard Yes, very brave of me.
Most CEOs do garden-variety layoffs. I’m out here giving it a fresh coat of AI wash and full performative futuristic ai vision.
I remain a master CEO. 🏆
