Stoked to launch my latest project! Inspired by @nikitabier and @ghoshal 's viral URL trick for dupe - simply add "macros dot menu /" to the beginning of any restaurant menu url and get a macronutrient breakdown of each menu item.
I'm hosting a @SpaceX IPO watch party in Santa Monica.
What happened in 1492? Many things. But we only remember Columbus.
500 years from now all we will remember is when the first human landed on Mars. Only one company is making that possible.
I’m launching a new show today for Founders Fund, which I’ve dreamt about creating for twenty years, and I’d love for all of you to check it out.
Long story short, I sat 12 tech industry legends down around a table for a night of Mafia — a game of deception, and deduction, in which three secret liars attempt to eliminate the rest of the group, one by one, while the rest of the group attempts to figure out who’s lying to them before they’re all eliminated.
Players:
Sam Altman, Founder, OpenAI
Palmer Luckey, Co-founder, Anduril
Josie Zayner, Biohacker / Founder Embryo Corporation
Bryan Johnson, Founder, Don’t Die
Tim Urban, Writer, Wait Buy Why
Liv Boeree, Pro Poker Player / Win-Win Pod
Ryan Beiermeister, AI Policy Expert

Trae Stephens, Partner, Founders Fund / Co-founder, Anduril
I’ve been playing Mafia since college, and back in 2011, when I first moved to San Francisco to work for Peter Thiel, I brought it to Founders Fund. I’ve hosted games at retreats of ours and random weekend gatherings ever since, and as I’ve crossed paths with players from other lineages (“Werewolf,” the lesser mortals call it), I’ve come to realize… almost everyone in tech is into some version of this game.
It’s my favorite game in the world, and not only because of how chaotic and exciting truly every round inevitably becomes, but because of how much Mafia has taught me not only about other people, and people in general, but about myself. Everyone believes they’re an incredible judge of character. But how good are you, really, at discerning the truth when you’re facing someone fully committed to manipulating you?
Do you think you could figure out who’s lying? If you really had to? If your life depended on it?
We filmed our first three episodes at San Francisco’s beloved Tosca Cafe, where the PayPal Mafia famously sat for their now iconic photo.
For the next two weeks, we’ll release a new episode every Thursday.
Let me know what you think. This one was a labor of love.
In our great nation California has the highest homeless population, poverty and unemployment rates, housing and gas costs, taxes, and small business fees.
We need a Dick in the room.
Because California is destined to flourish. Happy election day, it's time to win again 🫡🗳️
Everyone is trying to claim me for their tribe. There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians. I’m just Spencer, husband to Heidi, father to Ryker and Gunner, and I’m a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.
A former reality TV star with zero political experience is putting on an absolute clinic in Los Angeles on how to decimate a crooked incumbent using the most powerful weapon of all: common sense.
If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.
What do you think AI is going to do that technology hasn't been doing for thousands of years?
Jobs change and new ones get created. That's what happens. Try explaining to a caveman your job involves sitting on a chair all day.
We have raised $7 million in funding, led by @Initialized to build the next generation of air traffic systems. We’re joined by investors such as United Airlines, Y Combinator, and other amazing firms and angels who I'll tag at the end of this thread
We are going to get the homeless off the street. We are going to fix California. Ballots are out, I don't need your money, I need your votes 🫡
Absolutely epic day with @thenicklange in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills talking to voters
@AOC The idea that all billionaires got their money by exploiting peopl doesn't hold up to any scrutiny.
JK Rowling wrote books about cheeky wizards. I invented a better way to make virtual reality headsets and games to play on them. We just made things people wanted.
Metlife is a $52 billion company and this is what their login page looks like
If I fed my dogs LSD and gave them Dreamweaver they still couldn't make buttons this ugly
