Trying to buy a new Tesla to replace the one that saved my life is turning into the worst customer experience nightmare I think I’ve ever encountered, holy shit. #Tesla @Tesla

You need an ID to verify your residency at Barack Obama’s Presidential library but not to verify your identity and citizenship to vote in U.S. elections.

Got it.

Excellent response, @mcuban. I do think it leaves out the cost impact of suffocating bureaucracy at all levels of government, as well as the lousy quality and transparancy of provider/point of care cost data. But yes! Love well crafted and on-point rebuttals like this. Thank u!

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.

And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.

One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.

Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.

If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.

Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.

Alternatively

There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.

To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.

It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)

Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.

Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up

But

They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks

Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

@otokyo__ Lol. Install it first, see if I still have an account to chat with grandma, then yes.

@elonmusk Before I crashed it last week, I used to use Grok all the time, especially when using FSD. When done, I'd just say 'Thanks, now go away". BTW, my 2025 M3P saved my life after I made a terrible decision to drive it manually.

@Teslaconomics And here I thought it was already nearly perfect. I can't wait for the download...

[ConsultantDad @chrisonea]

@Teslaconomics I've experienced the very same thing a couple times since the update in Nov? Dec?

[ConsultantDad @chrisonea]

@it_unprofession This is correct. And it powers massive firms globally. You're welcome.

@LarryKrasnerDA I feel as if you don't understand how our system works. Which is wild, given your role.

[ConsultantDad @chrisonea]

@DirtyTesLa Use it more over time. I used it an hour ago to go from my garage to 7Brew and back.

@RobertPicardo @jondelarroz Forgive me, Doctor. But you do not get to decide for all of us what Star Trek is or isn't. What Gene did not do was allow his political and ideological leanings to totally blind his judgement.

[ConsultantDad @chrisonea]

I'll admit I had to try a full pedal down onramp merge first with my M3P with FSD. I nearly pissed myself and felt like I was being launched into space. And THEN I let it drive me home 90 miles from Charlotte. It parked at my house next to my 2014 F150 Raptor. Which I then sold...

[ConsultantDad @chrisonea]

So cool. Hey for that much you could also get exactly 0 miles of high speed rail in California

@BoyanSlat Very few challenges that ingenuity and technology cannot or will not overcome. Except panic and alarmism and retrenchment and minimalism and fear.

@RowdyRick73 He spent about 15 minutes marveling at how whenever Reagan stood next to someone, he was somehow magically about the same height as that person even though he was over 6 feet. He mused that it was something to do with his acting career and knowing perspective. Very cool.
