Go see #FlowerDrumSong. With a new book by #DavidHenryHwang this show is entertaining, enlightening and empowering. An all Asian American cast sings the heck out of Rogers & Hammerstein. Proud of my friends in the show (you know who you are). Closes May 31 https://t.co/P1xx53oiOM

@SameeLiaei @nextlevelaspen @niccruzpatane They can outsource to whomever they want, the initial production cost of the car is what is best to offset, car will degrade in value within 10-15 years, minimizes risk while covering their baseline, while maintaining all the benefits.

@SameeLiaei @nextlevelaspen @niccruzpatane If the users pay for the cost of the vehicle that saves $25-30k for each, plus ongoing FSD subscription, insurance, charging, and cleaning fees. Tesla still makes a cut of their services.

finally got to meet EJAE, post #oscars at the Govs Ball (missed her at Nominees Lunch, missed her on the red carpet). She was very gracious as I babbled on about how amazing she is, even posed for a pic. I meant to say how great a role model she is being (photo: @TheLeapMan)
