@VandelayBTC @Zed18978371 @elonmusk It does add up actually. Don't assume malice. Embrace a different perspective than your own. You're not Elon. With great power comes great responsibility.
If you've followed Elon closely over the past few years, you know he's worried about hyperinflation:

@IIICapital @elonmusk @saylor FYI - Tesla still holds 1 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin.
Which is about 3% of their total cash/cash-equivalent assets ($36bn).
So Elon has a slight hedge, even though 75% should be more like it... I mean, isn't $10bn enough to finance Robotaxis and Optimus robots?

This is Tesla's new Semi truck factory in Nevada where the event will be held on Sept 24th. This factory is different (and much bigger) than the smaller pilot line that they held their previous 2022 delivery event in.

When fully ramped, this new factory will be able to produce 50,000 units per year. Mass production is officially starting.

The new version of the Tesla Semi uses:
• Fully electric steering assist (vs hydraulic before)
• Beefed up Cybertruck actuators
• 48 volt architecture
• 4680 cells, designed to last 1M miles

Bessent : To the ordinary (Iranian) soldiers supporting this regime, as more and more of your paychecks stop or supposedly just delayed, ask whether your commanders are leaving your country to triumph or to ruin, and recall that the Berlin Wall fell when ordinary soldiers decided not to shoot at their own people, and to those who enabled Tehran, do not discount the cost of testing Washington's resolve.

Democrats can’t even be happy about Trump bringing down prescription drug prices. Constant negativity, even on an issue all politicians promise but only Trump has delivered! Fair vector for the GOP to pursue in the midterms.

did you know?

a neuron that never finds another to connect with quietly dies in the dark..

ever feel like stress is changing who you are? you're not imagining it.

this video shows a neuron dying after years of chronic stress. chronic exposure to stress hormones like cortisol can impair the health and functioning of brain cells over time.

the problem? many of us aren't stressed for a few minutes. we're stressed for weeks, months, or even years.

over time, high cortisol levels can make it harder for neurons to form strong connections, especially in areas of the brain involved in memory, focus, learning, and emotional regulation.

that's why chronic stress can show up as: brain fog, forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, feeling emotionally reactive, constant exhaustion.

if you've ever walked into a room and forgotten why, reread the same sentence five times, or felt like your brain just isn't working the way it used to, chronic stress may be playing a role.

but here's the part most people don't hear:

your brain can change in positive ways, too.

through neuroplasticity, your neurons can build new connections throughout your life. every time you sleep, exercise, meditate, connect with supportive people, or practice healthier thought patterns, you're giving your brain an opportunity to recover and adapt.

your brain isn't working against you. it's been trying to protect you. and healing is possible.

The sound of FREEDOM, BABY! 🇺🇸

[alexei @alexeixbt]

scary fact: if you repeat a lie many times, your brain may start to believe it's true.

neuroscience suggests the brain does not only respond to what is objectively true. It responds to what is repeatedly rehearsed.

through neuroplasticity, repeated thoughts strengthen neural pathways; through predictive processing, the brain begins filtering reality around what it expects to find.

so even a belief that starts as "not true yet" can slowly become familiar to the nervous system.

and once something feels familiar, the brain starts treating it as more available, more possible, and eventually more real.

WSJ's Dan Neil on @Tesla's FSD (Supervised):

"By the end of the second hour—I was bewitched. FSD is amazing. I acknowledge I am a sample group of one, with only the scantest evidence to work with. Still, I know good driving when I see it. Mile by mile, the FSD started to earn my confidence. In the whitewater-like eddy and flow of rush-hour interstate traffic, FSD held its position beautifully: stopping distances, following distances, lane centering, the gradients of acceleration, steering and braking, all playing out in smoothly continuous linear functions."

SHOCKING: Bill Maher DEFENDS President Trump’s TRUSTED Aide Natalie Harp: “I don’t know why you have to go after her, you know. She seems incredibly devoted to her job, never takes a day off. Sometimes she works so hard she forgets to eat and sleep, and now everyone in America is saying the same thing: Why can't I get a millennial that works like that?”

“There is, you know, a little more to the story. She had bone cancer in her 20s. She liked Trump because he sped up experimental treatment, which she believes helped her. But, you know, in America it's just like, ‘Oh good, someone new to hate.’”

“Let the man have one f*cking friend.”

We think the collapse in birth rates is a modern problem. It is not. The most powerful man in the world once faced the exact same thing, and he was so alarmed he passed laws to force his people to have children.

This was not a modern government: it was Rome 2000 years ago...

The emperor was Augustus, and by his reign the Roman elite had grown wealthy, comfortable, and reluctant to marry or raise families. Men preferred bachelorhood and affairs to the burden of a wife and children.

Augustus found it alarming enough to legislate. Around 18 BC and again in AD 9, he pushed through the Lex Julia and the Lex Papia Poppaea, a sweeping set of laws designed to engineer a baby boom by decree.

The measures were direct: unmarried men and childless couples faced penalties on what they could inherit. Those who married and had children were rewarded with faster careers and public honors. Women who bore three or more children were granted a special legal freedom, the ius trium liberorum, the "right of three children," releasing them from male guardianship.

The state was, quite literally, paying its citizens to reproduce and fining them when they did not.

It didn't work...

The laws were resented, evaded, and endlessly tinkered with, and Rome's elite went on having small families anyway. The historian Cassius Dio records Augustus standing before the childless men of Rome and shaming them to their faces: "You are committing murder in not begetting in the first place those who ought to be your descendants." A city, he warned them, is not its buildings but its people: "For it is human beings that constitute a city, not houses or porticos or market-places empty of men."

Now look at the numbers today. For a population simply to hold steady, women need to average about 2.1 children each. South Korea recently hit 0.72, the lowest rate ever recorded for any country on earth, and even after a small rebound to 0.8 in 2025, it remains less than half of what a country needs to sustain itself. Italy and Japan sit near 1.2, China around 1.0, Spain near 1.1. The United States is about 1.6, the United Kingdom 1.5. According to the UN, more than half the world's countries are now below that line.

History doesn't repeat itself, the saying goes, but it often rhymes, and this pattern is old and eerily familiar. A society climbs to the height of its wealth and comfort, and at that very peak its people stop having children, and no law, no incentive, no sum of money seems able to talk them back into it.

Rome tried, with the full power of an empire behind it, and failed. At its height the city held more than a million people, a size no European city would reach again for 1700 years, until London in the 1800s.

The Roman historian Livy, writing as the Republic gave way to the empire, said his was an age that "can endure neither its vices nor their cure." Two thousand years later, staring at the same problem and just as unable to solve it, we may be watching the beginning of the same story...

A civilization does not always fall to an enemy at the gates. As the historian Arnold J. Toynbee once said: “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”

🚨 Karoline Leavitt took the podium at Trump's SC rally and made VERY clear how HARD Trump works for the American people

"You can call this man at 6 in the morning. You can call him at 3 in the morning. He picks up the phone because he's looking out for YOU!"

"It has been the honor of my life to serve as your White House press secretary, sir. It really has."

"And I just want to let everyone in this room know how hard this man works for all of you and for every American across the country, regardless of whether they're a Republican or a Democrat" 🇺🇸
