I love Elon. He’s amazing. But he’s basically starting over with Tesla and the future is uncertain. SpaceX is cool and exciting to explore the universe but Starlink is the only money maker. Grok is behind and doesn’t do anything particular thing well. He’s scattered right now. I wish he would lock in and focus on just 1 or 2 things. First time I’ve felt this way. Amazon competitor?! No need.
From my experience it does a better job at polishing emails and I feel it has a smarter sense of empathy in copywriting and understands writing more deeply. I’ve confirmed this for myself over and over. Claude uses everyday language while ChatGPT feels talented and brilliant in nuanced ways.
Somehow Las Vegas doesn’t understand that added mandatory resort fees are offensive to customers and erode trust and people will avoid going back because they feel disrespected and taken advantage of. It was a mistake. I’d gladly lose $50 every day gambling, but being forced to pay that fee straight up demoralizing psychologically. Big mistake.
I get that. And it’s amazing and exciting future! But how does that connect with the stock price? Starlink is the only thing generating profit. Tesla is pivoting to robotaxi and self driving, basically starting over. Robots are long way away. Grok is behind. Rockets best days are behind for now, and future is uncertain. It’s all up in the air! Elon is fucking incredible but he’s starting over at a premium. Correct me if I’m wrong!
@elonmusk@SPCX100T@RonBaronAnalyst I love you Elon but other than Starlink what value does going to the moon or mars bring though? Is it because the Tesla merger?
Real men take care of their children, they don’t just “walk”. Only a heartless bastard would knock up a girl only to leave her to raise the child herself. Game is great, but if there are children involved the mature thing to do is to support the child to grow up to be a good human being.
I don’t mean to be rude, but weight loss drugs don’t exactly have a good track record. I understand it’s hard to lose weight. But, there is no tricking nature without paying for it some other way.
Diet and exercise requires discipline, which is rare these days. Instead, GLPs have exploded as a shortcut to weight loss, bypassing the emotional challenges involved with earning the physique we want.
For me, it’s obvious to stay away from injections as a cheat code to weight loss. But for others, this intuition doesn’t come as easily.
For me, I would rather shoot-up myself with hero*n before injecting GLPs, because the former messes with my own self, while the latter messes with nature itself.
Do you agree or disagree?

Here is a little history of weight-loss drugs that later ran into serious safety problems:
DNP — 1933 — Cataracts, neuropathy, fatal overheating occurred
Amphetamine — 1939 — Addiction, hypertension, heart muscle toxicity
Methamphetamine — 1944 — Addiction, dependence, cardiovascular problems emerged
Phenylpropanolamine — 1947 — Hemorrhagic strokes and cardiovascular deaths
Pipradrol — 1953 — Abuse, dependence, psychiatric problems emerged
Phenmetrazine — 1956 — Abuse and severe dependence developed
Diethylpropion — 1957 — Cardiotoxicity concerns prompted market withdrawals
Fenbutrazate — 1957 — Abuse and psychiatric problems emerged
Phentermine — 1959 — Abuse concerns prompted some withdrawals
Phendimetrazine — 1961 — Abuse potential prompted market withdrawal
Aminorex — 1962 — Severe pulmonary hypertension, deaths occurred
Chlorphentermine — 1962 — Serious cardiovascular toxicity concerns emerged
Cloforex — 1965 — Serious cardiovascular toxicity concerns emerged
Clobenzorex — 1966 — Abuse and psychiatric problems emerged
Fenproporex — 1966 — Abuse and psychiatric problems emerged
Mefenorex — 1966 — Abuse and psychiatric problems emerged
Mazindol — 1970 — Abuse and psychiatric problems emerged
Fenfluramine — 1973 — Heart valve damage, pulmonary hypertension
Pyrovalerone — 1974 — Abuse and dependence problems emerged
Benfluorex — 1976 — Heart valve damage caused deaths
Dexfenfluramine — 1995 — Heart valve damage, pulmonary hypertension
Sibutramine — 1997 — Heart attacks and strokes increased
Rimonabant — 2006 — Depression and suicidal behavior increased
Lorcaserin — 2012 — Cancer signal prompted market withdrawal
This doesn’t mean every new weight-loss drug will eventually turn out to be dangerous.
But history does show why long-term safety data matters, especially when millions of people begin taking a relatively new drug.
Can we make the like button larger? On X, I hit like ♥️ on a majority of posts on my feed. It’s that good but I often miss because it’s so small. Need to make liking posts more efficient! Thanks @elonmusk and team
It was “micro computing” when it first came out. Now it’s just called working. It’s called “AI” or “SI” now, but soon it’ll just be called “working” just like every other technology that became the standard.
Right, @elonmusk?
@parmita Soon it will just be called “work” — you don’t compute on your laptop, you work. When it normalizes and becomes the standard, it’ll just be “work” because that’s how we work now.
I have a theory about beauty: it is the accumulated triumph of good over evil.
I mean that all the way down, even to the smallest parts of existence. Every beautiful thing we see or feel is the result of countless moments in which something held together, grew, or gave life when it could have fallen apart.
Beauty is what all those victories look like.
