FSD Supervised helps save lives

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Tesla has released a new video of FSD avoiding accidents/savings lives.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Just common sense!

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Public trust in our elections is on the line. The SAVE America Act requires proof of citizenship to vote and removes illegals from the rolls. If you believe in free and fair elections, you should support this.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Cities are overwhelmed. Budgets are drained. And Washington keeps handing out welfare to non-citizens like it's normal. My bill ends the free ride.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense.

It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

[Joby Aviation @jobyaviation]

A quick update from our Flight Test Operations team: we're proud to share that our electric air taxi flight test program has now surpassed 3,000 total sorties and 3,500 inhabited miles, roughly the distance from New York to London.

Every sortie and every inhabited mile is critical data on the path to passenger service.

Congrats to @SpaceXAI on Grok 4.5 — trained on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems and purpose-built for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work. This is what happens when world-class AI infrastructure meets world-class AI research.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

Make no mistake — we are in a fight to SAVE the Republic, and every American MUST take this seriously.

We WILL NOT let MINI MAMDANIs take over the greatest nation in the history of the world.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Here is a question every Senator should be able to answer without flinching: Should only U.S. citizens be allowed to vote in U.S. elections? If the answer is yes, then there is no reason to oppose the SAVE America Act. It puts a real proof-of-citizenship requirement in place for federal elections.

Senate leadership needs to bring this bill to the floor for a vote.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Today and every day, we are proud of our American heritage. Here’s to the next 250 years of American greatness🇺🇸

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Hell yeah!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.

And the reason is worse than they think.

Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”

They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.

Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.

Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.

Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.

A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.

Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”

Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.

Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”

SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.

Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.

Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.

That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.

A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.

They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.

Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

What about all the entrepreneurs that risked everything and failed ?

Or the ones that are grinding it out, trying to build a business ? You know, the ones that create more than 60 pct of the new jobs in this country.

The more successful they are, the more you hate them?

Take their money so they can't invest in other founders? Or invest in causes they believe in ?

And the ones that fail and get to deduct 3k a year of their losses ? Or went for it and are broke and might never see enough income to offset those losses ? You don't care if they go broke ?

10 pct of the people in this country are entrepreneurs that have started a business.

You ever try to help them ?

There are plenty of discussions to be had about income inequality. About helping people who are struggling economically.

I've talked about a lot of them in my timeline.

But in reality, saying "Eat the rich" will end up helping no one except maybe politicians trying to raise money. And probably hurt those in need, as more money is spent playing politics then helping

Wealth tax. Unearned income tax. Show me the multi year behavioral analysis, as opposed to simple models, that show more jobs, higher wages and personal wealth will be created for those who need it. I'd love to read them

Ideology is not a strategy. Nor is it a plan that has lasting impact on people who need help

And so you know.
I'm not a believer in trickle down. It's a joke.

I am a believer in trickle up. Where we do all we can get to get appreciable assets and higher wages into the hands of people who have to live paycheck to paycheck. I've said before I think raising the federal minimum wage to $20 is smart. When I heard people who worked for a company I invested in (but didn't run) needed government assistance, I made sure they all got raises. It was embarrassing to me that we didn't pay enough. I've made, or helped make, at least a thousand millionaires. And I'll keep working to increase that number

And that's the point.

The best path to help more people is to work with the people that can help more people.

If you demonize business people , you just make it harder for them to help anyone.

I'm not saying there aren't greedy, blood sucking business people that will do anything for a dollar.

But they are a small minority. Most entrepreneurs realize they are blessed. They want to find ways to help. They think they can use the same skills that built their business to help people.

And they can. They can hire more. They can give raises. They can educate. And they do all these things to help.

I've sat with Democrats and Republicans, incumbents and candidates,and asked them why they aren't meeting with businesses that make and sell the products that have become unaffordable, and asking them what can be done to reduce prices.

I do this continuously regarding healthcare. It's easy to see where the friction and increased pricing is coming from. Why (the politicians ) aren't you meeting with them and asking them to change ? Offering to support those that do raise wages, lower prices , improve benefits. Politicians just won't do it. They prefer the donations.

I did shark tank for 15 years purely to show people they can start small, grow their businesses, and help not only themselves, but their employees and their communities as well. And thats exactly what has happened.

Demonizing those that have success is counterproductive to every benefit you want to help bring to people.

Google Gemini, One Premium changing to Google AI Plus. New pay schedule and limits on AI usage.
What’s changing starting today, Jun 8, 2026:

•
Updated plan name: Your new plan is now called Google AI Plus, and you’ll still enjoy the same 2 TB of storage and other premium benefits.
•
Usage limits in the Gemini app: For the Gemini app, we’re introducing compute-based usage limits that factor in the complexity of your prompt, the features you use, and the length of your chat. Your limit refreshes every 5 hours until you reach your weekly limit. As an AI Plus subscriber, you’ll enjoy a 2x higher usage limit than non-subscribers.

•
AI credits: The product-based usage limit model is also rolling out to other products, starting with Flow and Antigravity. While 200 AI credits will no longer be included as a benefit in your base plan each month, the new usage limit model we are introducing should allow you to maintain the same experience you are used to.

The jobs report was a barnburner. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 172,000 versus expectations for 88,000, while prior months were revised higher by 93,000. Wage growth came in at roughly 0.3%.

Yet the market sold off.

In our view, the market is misreading the signal. It is assuming that stronger than expected employment and growth will cause a an acceleration in inflation. History would suggest otherwise. 

Productivity growth is running near 3%, while unit labor costs are hovering around 0.5%. Those are not the hallmarks of an inflationary boom. They are the hallmarks of healthy, productivity-driven growth that will lower inflation.

Meanwhile, the yield curve continues to flatten despite a roughly 55% increase in oil prices year-over-year based on a three month moving average. In past cycles, an energy shock of this magnitude steepened the yield curve when the Federal Reserve was accommodating it. Instead, the bond market appears to be discounting something much more powerful: the deflationary impact of technological innovation, particularly artificial intelligence, which is beginning to increase productivity across broad swaths of the economy.

If tensions with Iran ease and oil prices retreat, we believe inflation could move into negative territory before year-end.

In our view, the Fed made a historic policy error when it raised rates aggressively into what was largely a supply-driven inflation shock in 2022. We do not believe the next generation of monetary policymakers will be eager to repeat that mistake.

Notably, gold peaked on the day Kevin Warsh was appointed. The inflation trade may already be behind us.

If our research is correct, the next phase of this cycle could be characterized by accelerating growth, declining inflation, falling interest rates, and a strengthening U.S. dollar. That combination would create a remarkably supportive backdrop for innovation-led equities and the technologies driving the next productivity boom.

I discuss this framework in greater detail in this month’s episode of In The Know.

Physical AI is no longer a future concept. It’s operating today.

That was the theme for last week’s Signal. featuring Dr. Marco Pavone of Stanford and NVIDIA on what’s next for autonomy, reasoning models, and intelligent systems in the physical world.

More sessions ahead!
