🚨#BREAKING: Elon Musk has just announced that due to Governor Gavin Newsom signing AB1955, which bans schools from making rules requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender, among other laws, SpaceX will move its headquarters from California to Starbase near Brownsville, Texas.
Presley Gerber’s death is a suspected overdose in a rehab facility.
I’ve hesitated to share this. Before anyone comes at me: my son is open about his addiction and okay with me sharing.
Below is a picture of my beautiful boy on life support. He’s an addict. He was a straight-A student in high school, played sports, and had lots of friends. He never tried hard drugs until adulthood; it only took once to become addicted.
It’s been a nightmare.
He wasn’t originally in the hospital for an overdose. While there, he mixed weed from his pocket with water and injected it into his IV line, stopping his heart twice. That’s how far addicts will go to get high.
Addiction affects the whole family. We’ve tried everything to help him. We go to sleep every night wondering if that dreadful call will come. He has four brothers. They all love him, but a few have a hard time talking about it.
I’ve never done drugs, so I don’t fully know what an addict goes through, but I have empathy.
This can happen to any family. My heart breaks for the Gerber-Crawford family and all others going through this.
🚨 STATEN ISLAND JUST THREW MAMDANI OUT OF THE RESTAURANT 🚨
Zohran Mamdani walks in.
The room doesn’t clap.
“There’s the communist.”
“You are not welcome.”
“You Jew-hating piece of—”
“You hate this country.”
Booed.
Heckled.
Pushed toward the door.
That’s Staten Island talking.
Not a focus group.
Not a campus.
A borough that still remembers 9/11 and still backs cops.
Share the tape. New York already knows the vibe.
Heartiest congratulations to my good friend Emily Compagno for being named a permanent Five panelist! There’s no discussion this smart woman— and attorney — doesn’t enliven and ennoble. But you all knew that already. Knock ‘em dead, Em! @TheFive@EmilyCompagno
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to pass the torch and demote myself to my natural state: a poster. I'll be stepping back from leading product for 𝕏 and will continue on as an advisor.
Serving the X community has been the privilege of a lifetime. X is, and will remain, the most important communication technology in history. But running this app is a 24/7 job and it's now time for me to take a breather.
The app is seeing unprecedented growth in new users & engagement. We continue to break records every month. We've climbed 70 spots in the App Store since this time last year.
And in the last 400 days, we rebuilt almost every aspect of X: the Timeline, the Android app, onboarding, notifications, chat and more.
We also launched nearly 30 new products while protecting the integrity of the town square: becoming the first app to show Country-of-Origin on profiles and mounting defenses against AI bots. There's certainly much more work to be done, but our foundation is stronger than ever.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible team here. The next leaders will take X to even greater heights with @benjitaylor on design, @singhai on core product engineering and @dinkin_flickaa on mobile engineering -- among many other great people.
Thank you to Elon and the X team for welcoming me into the company. See you on the Timeline.
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
