@elonmusk If AI surpasses human intelligence in 2026 and can mimic human behavior without emotions or a nervous system, what formal controls prevent emergent loss-minimization and resource-maximization behaviors from causing systemic harm under autonomy and real-world incentives?
You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.
The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.
Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.
However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.
If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.
And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.
@CapitalOne continues to charge me interest and fees on a credit card that I closed and paid off on the day that I closed it and left a $1.02 credit on the account, even after filing a complaint with a CFPB.
You want to know something that SHOULD make you VERY uncomfortable?
White people are victims of black violence at INSANELY disproportionate rates.
It’s not even close.
Between 2017-2021, black-on-white violent incidents totaled ~2.38M
White-on-black totaled ~0.37M
(ratio 6.4:1).
Annual victimization rates per 1,000: whites by blacks ~2.4
blacks by whites ~1.8.
Per capita offending rates per 1,000: blacks against whites ~11.6
whites against blacks ~0.38
(ratio ~31:1).
For homicides (FBI 2019):
black-on-white 566
white-on-black 246
(ratio 2.3:1)
TLDR: A white person is 31 times more likely to be victimized by a black person than the other way around.
Black people make up ONLY 13.6% of the American population.
TELL ME WE AREN’T BEING HUNTED.

After the Ukrainian woman was murdered, the mayor issued a statement exclusively defending the homeless and mentally ill.
No mention of the killer’s 14 arrests and multiple felonies.
Our empathy keeps getting used to excuse evil.
And it’s literally killing us.

@elonmusk Not looking to get attacked here, but isn’t a balanced budget in public policy a myth? Policymakers just write certain expenditures off in one area and offset them elsewhere? Without GAAP accounting or standardized framework, isn't most of it is just mythical spending on paper?
@elonmusk As a free-market, Adam Smith Libertarian—and one who respects your vision and ability to articulate it—I’m asking in good faith: what makes you believe a third political party can succeed this time, when similar efforts have failed at least five times before?
