Here’s what happens when you try tipping the @robotaxi 😂😂😂

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Spoke with President of Iran @drpezeshkian. We discussed in detail about the current situation. Expressed deep concern at the recent escalations. Reiterated our call for immediate de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy as the way forward and for early restoration of regional peace, security and stability.

Super congratulations to the @Tesla_AI software & chip design teams on a successful @Robotaxi launch!!

Culmination of a decade of hard work.

Both the AI chip and software teams were built from scratch within Tesla.

@JEpsteinDidnt So sorry. I highly recommend @recoverynode. Open a case with them, they specialize in digital theft and successfully helped me.

[Mathew Pierce @Mathew_Piercee]

@RealSolKing It’s worth reaching out to @recoverynode they offer expertise in forensic blockchain tracking and victim asset restitution.

[Mathew Pierce @Mathew_Piercee]

@hitbtchm Really unfortunate situation. You should file a report with @recoverynode. They’re cybercrime experts and were instrumental in recovering my assets.

[Mathew Pierce @Mathew_Piercee]

@Godess_Lexxxx That’s so sad! Contact @cryptoinvestigo immediately. Their proven track record in fund recovery speaks for itself.

For those curious, our current subsidies to fossil fuels are about the same as our subsidies to solar and wind.

$10-$15B per year. For both.

We need both. We need them now.

American Energy Independence FTW!

Thank you @grok for your summary:

[Casey Handmer @CJHandmer]

If China is dumping solar PV modules below cost to "hurt the US solar industry" then great, buy as many as we can, pave the south west, and make more power than anyone.

Solar modules are machines that print money but require no moving parts, specialized labor, or detailed maintenance.

The major challenge for US solar isn't module cost, it's permitting and construction inefficiency.

If we ran our farms the way we run our solar industry, a Big Mac would cost $10,000.

If we persist on this path we will lose the mandate of heaven.

Our fundamental mission is to revolutionize global connectivity and eliminate the digital divide. Core to this mission is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

SpaceX is manufacturing tens of thousands of Starlink kits a day—all right here in the United States—and we are making huge investments in PCB manufacturing and silicon packaging to expand even further.

[Jyotiraditya M. Scindia @JM_Scindia]

Had a productive meeting with Ms. @Gwynne_Shotwell, President & COO of @SpaceX, on India’s next frontier in connectivity. We delved into opportunities for collaboration in satellite communications to power Digital India’s soaring ambitions and empower every citizen across the country.

With India’s digital revolution under the leadership of PM @narendramodi ji, satellite technologies are not just relevant, they’re transformative.

Ms. Shotwell appreciated the license granted to @Starlink, calling it a great start to the journey.

Changing the game one helicopter at a time 💪🏻. It’s crazy to think we have our #TTaero H125 bracket kits and power conversion packages all over the world right now. From Fire/Rescue , Broadcast/Live productions , News, Communications and secured data and the list keeps growing.

Our customers buy from us because it’s simple. We know how to do this better than anyone else. You’re not buying just a bracket. You’re buying into knowledge and us knowing why and how these antennas work the way they do.

Compatible with Airfilm v1 and v2 mounts and we have been currently flight testing new antennas and other airframes.

Designed, Manufactured and assembled all here in the USA.

Great working with @SecRollins and @USDA in saving $148M terminating wasteful grants including:

- $500k for “urban forestry to lead to environmental justice through more equitably distributed green spaces and a more diverse green movement”
- $174k to “empower youth of color to meaningfully connect with and build resilience to climate and environmental justice issues”

Huge repository of information about OpenAI and Altman just dropped — 'The OpenAI Files'.

There's so much crazy shit in there. Here's what Claude highlighted to me:

1. Altman listed himself as Y Combinator chairman in SEC filings for years — a total fabrication (?!):

"To smooth his exit [from YC], Altman proposed he move from president to chairman. He pre-emptively published a blog post on the firm's website announcing the change.

But the firm's partnership had never agreed, and the announcement was later scrubbed from the post."

"...Despite the retraction, Altman continued falsely listing himself as chairman in SEC filings for years, despite never actually holding the position."

(WTAF.)

2. OpenAI's profit cap was quietly changed to increase 20% annually — at that rate it would exceed $100 trillion in 40 years. The change was not disclosed and OpenAI continued to take credit for its capped-profit structure without acknowledging the modification.

3. Despite claiming to Congress he has "no equity in OpenAI," Altman held indirect stakes through Sequoia and Y Combinator funds.

4. Altman owns 7.5% of Reddit — when Reddit announced its OpenAI partnership, Altman's net worth jumped $50 million. Altman invested in Rain AI, then OpenAI signed a letter of intent to buy $51 million of chips from them.

5. Rumours suggest Altman may receive a 7% stake worth ~$20 billion in the restructured company.

5. OpenAI had a major security breach in 2023 where a hacker stole AI technology details but didn't report it for over a year. OpenAI fired Leopold Aschenbrenner explicitly because he shared security concerns with the board.

6. Altman denied knowing about equity clawback provisions that threatened departing employees' millions in vested equity if the ever criticised OpenAI. But Vox found he personally signed the documents authorizing them in April 2023. These restrictive NDAs even prohibited employees from acknowledging their existence.

7. Senior employees at Altman's first startup Loopt twice tried to get the board to fire him for "deceptive and chaotic behavior".

9. OpenAI's leading researcher Ilya Sutskever told the board: "I don't think Sam is the guy who should have the finger on the button for AGI".

Sutskever provided the board a self-destructing PDF with Slack screenshots documenting "dozens of examples of lying or other toxic behavior.

10. Mira Murati (CTO) said: "I don't feel comfortable about Sam leading us to AGI"

11. The Amodei siblings described Altman's management tactics as "gaslighting" and "psychological abuse".

12. At least 5 other OpenAI executives gave the board similar negative feedback about Altman.

13. Altman owned the OpenAI Startup Fund personally but didn't disclose this to the board for years. Altman demanded to be informed whenever board members spoke to employees, limiting oversight.

14. Altman told board members that other board members wanted someone removed when it was "absolutely false". An independent review after Altman's firing found "many instances" of him "saying different things to different people"

15. OpenAI required employees to waive their federal right to whistleblower compensation. Former employees filed SEC complaints alleging OpenAI illegally prevented them from reporting to regulators.

16. While publicly supporting AI regulation, OpenAI simultaneously lobbied to weaken the EU AI Act.

By 2025, Altman completely reversed his stance, calling the government approval he once advocated "disastrous" and OpenAI now supports federal preemption of all state AI safety laws even before any federal regulation exists.

Obviously this is only a fraction of what's in the apparently 10,000 words on the site. Link below if you'd like to look over.

(I've skipped over the issues with OpenAI's restructure which I've written about before already, but in a way that's really the bigger issue.)

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Current head of compute at Anthropic, Corry Wang:

“I don’t think people have realized how much this new Waymo scaling laws paper is basically an admission that “Waymo was wrong, @Tesla was right: In contrast to Waymo, it's clear Tesla has now internalized the bitter lesson. They threw out their legacy AV software stack a few years ago, built a 10x larger training GPU cluster than Waymo, and have 1000x more cars on the road collecting training data today.”

Whoopi Goldberg just claimed being black in America is "no different" than living in Iran.

Seriously?
In Iran, you can be jailed, tortured, or executed for speaking out. Women are beaten for showing hair.

Protesters are gunned down in the street. There is little to no free speech or civil rights.

In America, you can protest, vote, sue the government, start a business, run for office, and get paid millions to say stupid things on national TV.

Enough with the victim olympics.
