@Tesla @elonmusk Tesla should do a Pay-Per-Use FSD, where if you are exceptionally tired or not 100% alert, you can pay a fee to have a trip done w/ FSD, charge about as much as an Uber or less.

Dave: “Hello, caller, you are on the air.”

Caller: “I don’t think billionaires create value.”

Dave: “Okay. What do you mean by that?”

Caller: “Nobody can earn a billion dollars ethically.”

Dave: “Alright. What do you do for a living?”

Caller: “Well, before this, I was a bartender.”

Dave: “Nothing wrong with bartending. Honest work.”

Caller: “Right.”

Dave: “And now?”

Caller: “I work in government.”

Dave: “Okay. So let me get this straight. You're saying Elon Musk, who helped build PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink, has made innovations like online payments, electric cars, rockets, and satellite internet possible, didn't earn his way to being a billionaire?"

Caller: “None of that justifies being a billionaire.”

Dave: “Well, sure sounds like value got created somewhere along the line.”

Caller: “I disagree.”

Dave: “What exactly did you build?”

Caller: “I advocate for economic justice.”

Dave: “No ma’am, I mean actual products.”

Caller: “…”

Dave: “You’re telling me the guy catching rockets mid-air created less value than a person who used to serve mojitos and now votes on spending his tax dollars?”

Caller: “That’s unfair.”

Dave: “What’s unfair is pretending markets are imaginary while cashing a government paycheck funded by the businesses you claim don’t create value.”

Caller: “I’m actually a congresswoman.”

Dave: “Oh Lord. Of course!"

Plot twist: what if @SpaceX 2nd stage hit @blueorigin 2nd stage from this morning.

[Dave Limp @davill]

We did it! Orbital. Great night for Team Blue. On to spring and trying again on the landing. (Here is another view!)

[Truthful🛰️ @Truthful_ast]

New Glenn has become the first ever American Methalox rocket to reach orbit around Earth!🇺🇸

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

NEWS: Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket has just successfully lifted off for the first time.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Very important concept!

[Dave Limp @davill]

Up we go! The steel launch table that New Glenn sits on weighs 1.7 million pounds (roughly 726 metric tons), including the clamps that connect to the vehicle's aft ring.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

GS-1 meets GS-2 🤝🚀
We’ve mated #NewGlenn’s first and second stages.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Seven BE-4s ✅
#NewGlenn engine installation is complete!

We’re the country where you can disagree like hell & still get together at the dinner table at the end of it. Mark Cuban & I roast each other from time to time, but we share a love of capitalism & free speech. It’s good to hear the other side sometimes. Talk again soon, @mcuban.

@Tesla @elonmusk please roll back this eye-tracking safety update, it's impossibly annoying to get chirped at just for briefly looking at the screen. Chirped at me while I was setting the speed, and chirped at me for checking the map.

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

Thanks to @BlueOrigin for an impressive tour! I got to see New Glenn manufacturing up close, which is an essential element of their Blue Moon human landing system architecture.

[Chris Bakke @ChrisJBakke]

My local dry cleaner was struggling to pay the bills.

He was losing $10,000/mo.

I told him to "use AI to transform his business"

He took my advice.

Bought a $20/mo subscription for ChatGPT.

His business is totally transformed.

He now loses $10,020/mo.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

Honored to be on this journey with @NASA to land astronauts on the Moon — this time to stay. Together, we’ll be solving the boil-off problem and making LOX-LH2 a storable propellant combination, pushing forward the state of the art for all deep space missions. #Artemis #MoonToMars https://t.co/hqt4OqiREM

@Kizhan_Clarke Hell yeah!
