This video shows how your phone records your location, movement and activity even while offline — then uploads the data once it reconnects. Now add Flock cameras tracking identifiable vehicles across cities and jurisdictions… There is no end to this very slippery slope. Warrantless surveillance is being hidden behind Terms of Service that almost nobody reads, and arguing that privacy and search-and-seizure protections should no longer apply simply because a corporation stores your private data through a “trusted third party” or in a foreign jurisdiction — is an extremely dangerous precedent. We’re passing the point where “public safety” and “national security” have become a privately operated movement and information database capable of tracking millions of innocent people alongside “legitimate investigations”. Data rights aren’t just a technology issue anymore — they’re becoming a civil rights issue.

The Constitution protects your speech, your property, and your privacy in the physical world. It protects almost none of them online. A handful of private companies control the modern public square, own your personal data, and can erase your livelihood with one click. The Internet Bill of Rights fixes that. Here is what it does. 🧵👇

Over the next decade, AI and automation are going to eliminate millions of jobs. Trucking. Retail. Customer service. Data entry. Legal research. Medical diagnostics. Content creation. Etc. The displacement is going to be massive and it is going to happen faster than any political system can adapt. UPI ensures that as machines replace human labor, humans still share in the value - because the machines literally cannot function without human data. Your data trains the model that replaces your job. So the model pays you. That is the only survival mechanism for ordinary people that scales with the technology.

AI companies are training their most powerful models on your data right now - without your permission and without paying you. Every photo you have uploaded. Every email you have written. Every conversation you have had near a smart device. Every review you have left. Every search you have made. All of it ingested to build systems that will generate trillions in value over the coming decades. You built the foundation. They are building the skyscraper on top of it and keeping all the rent. The AI boom is the largest uncompensated wealth transfer since colonialism.

This war needs to end. We've been told we are winning, or close to it. We are not. If it doesn't end, it will cause the worst financial crisis this country has ever experienced. That sounds dramatic. Because it is. Read my 34 page comprehensive analysis: https://t.co/7Gzg0fjhTq

Imagine never paying an electric bill again. Not because of subsidies or tax credits or government programs — because there's a device on the side of your house that generates clean, unlimited energy continuously, day and night, rain or shine. No grid. No utility company. No rate hikes. No foreign oil. No geopolitics determining whether you can afford to heat your home this winter. Now imagine every factory, every hospital, every school, every farm running the same way — fully independent, fully decentralized, generating its own power onsite forever. That's Energy 3. And it’s coming way sooner than you might think.

Think about what a car that never charges actually changes. No more gas stations - the corner lots convert to bookstores, coffee shops, small businesses. No more electric vehicle charging network buildout - the trillion dollars projected for a national fast-charging infrastructure becomes unnecessary. No more range anxiety, no more planning long trips around charger locations, no more waiting an hour at a rest stop for enough electrons to reach the next city. Truckers drive coast-to-coast without a fuel stop. Rural Americans stop being penalized for living outside a charging network. And the vehicle itself gets cheaper over its lifetime because the operating cost drops to essentially zero - no fuel, no charging bills, no battery replacement halfway through the car's life. The two most stressful parts of modern car ownership - fueling and financing depreciation - both change. This is what the Energy 3 stack does when it hits transportation.
