@mindrelic @Breaking911 No. Watch the video I linked it shows the whole thing.

Looks like:
Cop goes down.
Other female cop is hiding behind wall.
Civilian pops up to look around and starts moving.
Female cop gets startled and shoots civilian point blank twice.

This common vending machine analogy is braindead.

SpaceX isn’t a $400/mo kiosk with an X sticker.

Starlink alone did $11.4B revenue in 2025, profitable with 36%+ margins, 10M+ subscribers doubling yearly, and recurring cash flow from global monopoly broadband no one else can replicate.

It’s not just brand. It’s reusable rockets owning +50% of world launches + vertical integration + Starship optionality.

You’re comparing a rocket-powered satellite empire to a snack dispenser. That’s not skepticism, it’s missing the entire business.

@nypost Oh look…the @nypost is being retarded again.

@benjitaylor Add an option to disable background video, please! When I lock my phone while watching a video on X, I don’t want it to keep playing sound.

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

The most annoying thing on X app right now is the background video play.

I finish watching a short video and lock my phone but it just keeps playing audio.

When I lock my phone, I want everything to stop. I don’t want to have to pause or close it first.

@darthyucky @exec_sum Hollywood has ran out of ideas.

@mrbenjaminhoppe Just calling it “regression” doesn’t mean anything.

These markets crowdsource better odds than polls/experts, help people hedge real risks, and give clearer signals on elections, rates, etc. It’s regulated and transparent.

What’s your actual problem with it?

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

The hypocrisy of those outraged is numbing.

Traditional banks have gambled with customer deposits for centuries via fractional reserves, risky lending, derivatives, and proprietary trading …often blowing up the system (see 2008) and relying on bailouts, but God forbid a prediction market is made available to the normies.

@dannyjpwilliams Stoked!

@bretthuneycutt Will it be a TestFlight registration beta, or invite only?

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

@Wealthsimple A lot of people with zero self control out here complaining about the launch of a SEPARATE app that they simply don't have to download.

@ConductAI @IndexVentures @ICONIQCapital @SAP Congrats!!

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

@kimmonismus A Redditor finally figured out how to get ”people” to play with them.

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

@lejeunesimon @LewisMenelaws That's killer CS right there. Direct from the source.

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

@faizan10114 You should try WealthSimple!

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

@bolau_ Pft. I was doing that all the way back in 2009.

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

@Kalshi Why would anyone use anything but @Wealthsimple?

[Brian Paiement @brianpaiement]

Picked up the @KeychronMK Q1 HE (albeit 8K edition) after the FOMO hit from missing the Cursor Compile drop.

It was finally time to retire my K2 after it started randomly refusing to turning on (that thing has survived years of abuse).

Also grabbed the M6 while I was at it and so far it’s been a surprisingly solid replacement for my degrading MX Master 3.

Great job, Keychron!

@disclosetv I'm not reading all that.
