.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
No one should be surprised.
The world is short compute.
Memory is the key to intelligence.
Now consensus wakes up.
$MU does $150 in earnings in 2029.
My thesis has not changed.
What was once contentious is now consensus.
Have a nice day.
.@USAmbUN: "I was personally with @POTUS last year when he sent a letter suggesting to the Iranians we enter into negotiations... This president has always put diplomacy first, but unlike his predecessors, it has to be backed with credible military force."
.@VP: "I think @POTUS is like this too—I think both of us are generally skeptical of foreign military entanglements... but fundamentally, that doesn't mean you can never use military force, and I think the goal here of preventing the Iranians from having a nuclear weapon, we're going to be successful at that goal—and when we are, that's going to be a very good outcome for the American people."
The FAILING @nytimes seems to be having a hard time adjusting to a new reality.
That’s why everything is behind a paywall because they need the money!
If the fake news LIES. They WILL be held accountable 🤷🏼♂️
Facts over click bait!
In the realm of modern particle physics, one of our most fundamental concepts carries a name borrowed from one of the most notoriously complex and playful novels in literary history.
It is a reminder that science at its deepest level is not just a collection of cold mathematics; sometimes, it possesses a touch of literary mischief.
In the early 1960s, physicist Murray Gell-Mann was working to bring order to the "particle zoo", a dizzying array of subatomic particles being discovered in high-energy physics experiments.
He realized that protons and neutrons were not actually fundamental, indivisible blocks of matter.
Instead, they were composite objects made up of even smaller, more elemental constituents.
Initially, Gell-Mann had only a sound in mind for these new particles, which he pronounced like "kwork."
The breakthrough for how to spell it came while he was paging through James Joyce’s infamously avant-garde 1939 novel, "Finnegans Wake". There, he stumbled upon a famously surreal line:
“Three quarks for Muster Mark!”
The word was a perfect fit. Not only did it match the sound Gell-Mann wanted, but the number three was exceptionally prophetic.
In his original model, these subatomic particles always grouped together in triplets to form baryons like the proton and neutron.
By lifting the word from Joyce's dreamscape prose, Gell-Mann anchored a cutting-edge breakthrough in quantum mechanics to a masterpiece of literary experimentalism, forever linking the building blocks of our universe with a line of nonsense poetry.
Happy Birthday to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. A relentless patriot who fights every day for the country he loves, the people he serves, and the American Dream. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
An arsonist suspect, who had a lighter on him, was seen walking away from a massive fire and was eventually arrested by local authorities in San Diego County, California.
Biden won Maine by 10%.
Sara Gideon spent $48 million.
Susan Collins spent $23 million.
Susan Collins won by 8%.
Barack Obama won Maine by 17%.
Susan Collins won the same year by 11%.
There is simply a WALL of Collins voters among Independents -- they are NOT Democrats for a reason -- that is an invisible barrier Dems can't penetrate.
Over the past several weeks, Secret Service police officers, special agents, and support teams screened and secured materials needed to build the #UFC arena on the South Grounds of the White House. From the first wrench and hammer to the finished arena, they made it happen.
The Dems didn't learn with Tim Walz that faux-masculinity won't get the job done.
Independents are key to winning Maine, and they haven't been waiting for 24 years for the Dems to run a communist DSA party member in order to beat Susan Collins.

Having Hillary Clinton talk about the lives of "real people" is about as authentic as a Chuck Schumer lesson on backyard grilling. Despite 83% of Americans favoring voter ID, Hillary declared, "most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have" such IDs...
🧵 Here is the TRUTH: Dangerous gain-of-function research was funded by the U.S. government around the world, directed and approved by people like Dr Fauci. @DNIGabbard exposed that yesterday.
Using U.S. government data, put together and uncovered by career subject matter experts in the Intelligence Community and other government agencies, yesterday’s release highlighted one example of the many overseas biolabs funded by the U.S., the research conducted there, and the significant risks they pose to the world, especially when located in a country at war.

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:
— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.
— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)
— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.
— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”
— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.
— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.
— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.
— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.
