@Avis Shady automated billing at LAX (RA# 629681942). Got hit with a fake $10.99 fuel charge based on fabricated tank readings. Once I complained on a survey, you quietly wiped the fee to $0 but kept the fake numbers on file. Gaslighting customers isn't a good look. Check DM.

Donald Trump is engaging in insider trading in broad daylight.

3700 stock trades. $750 million. Just in 2026 alone.

As he fights for a gold-plated, taxpayer-funded ballroom instead of any relief for Americans’ rising costs.

Even if you’re worried about the disruption of labor, opposing AI and datacenters (and soon, robotics) is just super, super dumb.

A prediction: we will eventually discover that “grassroots” opposition to AI and datacenters is being funded by America’s adversaries.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@SawyerMerritt So why not just drop the gas and diesel tax to $0, and then charge $130 per vehicle regardless of powertrain technology? Wouldn't that be a more fair solution?

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@BernieSanders And what about the jobs lost if we fall behind in AI, like we did in manufacturing?

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@SawyerMerritt @Starlink I'm using it on a flight right now. It makes all the difference.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@zacbowden Yes.

@Daniel_Rubino @mathias_simon Only far away for Windows, sadly. I've got apps on my Mac which also work on an iPhone and iPad. The dream is still there, but a different ecosystem will support it.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@ChuckCook I don't think I would even attempt that left turn myself.

@chamath My Model Y is also the best car I've ever owned, but my Model 3 comes pretty close.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@MicrosoftEdge Just the one.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@RpsAgainstTrump He makes Grant look like a choirboy.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@Bricktop_NAFO And absolutely nobody will step in to stop this.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@SawyerMerritt This was a major reason I ditched a Subaru Outback for a Tesla Model Y. That and the insane gas prices on the west coast of the US.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@elonmusk Less so if you have HW3.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@gothburz I have this image of Catbert in my mind now.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@guarantor27 @Teslarati That would be an interesting scenario.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@Teslarati I disagree. For rentals, robotaxis, or even borrowing a car, the current system doesn't easily allow for people to use their own accounts. For owners, there are a lot of services which use CarPlay where there aren't native apps from Tesla.

[Glenn Blinckmann @gblinckmann]

@SawyerMerritt But when borrowing or renting a car, this would be great. Also, there are a lot of apps that work with CarPlay which aren't available for the native Tesla system. I'd love to use PocketCasts, but it's only available via Bluetooth on Tesla's today - not a good experience.
