Enterprise Premium Business Lead @X. Seller, writer, collector, recovering idea guy. @Google survivor. Owns are my opinion.

We're not a startup, but X moves at startup speed. Our amazing social team worked with @masonwarner to get this approved over MDW.

We're using the X Business platform to tell your story. If you have something exciting to share, reach out.

Congrats on the launch @slashapp!

My 85 year old grandma just asked about the SpaceX IPO. You’re not bullish enough.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Retail investors will be able to participate at the same prices as the big institutions. Expected SPCX price of $135 per share → https://t.co/eKBA0tzXbH

@dhaber Lassie is a warm and fuzzy name.

Approachable for SMBs without being too cutesy. Looks interesting.

@chrissyfarr True. X is the place for startup trailers 🎬

SpaceX is the only company building the infrastructure of the future across space, connectivity, and AI → https://t.co/PSCyWrNsOg

The rebrand of bots to agents is somehow crazier than bookies to prediction markets.

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa

@akothari @NotionHQ @ivan Who in their right mind would turn down a chance to meet the Grateful Dead (I’m assuming you mean Dead & Co but still)

@OpenAI Everyone wants to be a space company

@nazzari @speedrun I thought building in stealth was out!

[John Hutton @johnghutton]

@stripe Brilliant. Same goes for employees in other departments. Your sellers should feel like Olympic gold medalists.

[John Hutton @johnghutton]

99% of sales orgs are still at the first two rungs of the AI adoption ladder. All it takes to get to Agent level and above is granting access to your CRM (within reason).

Most sales execs and RevOps teams conflate manual CRM inputs with productive sellers.

When I was at Google, sales people spent 90% of their day on admin tasks (CRM), internal meetings and ticket filing. The precious 10% spent with clients was never enough.

As a sales leadership team, you should do everything you can to flip the time spent ratio in favor of client work. Sellers need to sell. If they’re stuck at the chatbot phase of AI adoption AND still doing manual CRM inputs they’re probably less productive than they were before AI.

Stop wasting RevOps time compiling shitty lead lists your top sellers don’t look at and have them solve workflow problems with agents.

[Every 📧 @every]

Ask your agent what level of AI adoption you're at.

@mandylu wait until you hear about dreams

@ZainManji Idk I could see the sales comp structure being terrible. It’s all inbound no? Maybe worth it for RSUs.

@leonabboud Quality over quantity

[John Hutton @johnghutton]

@shreyamurthy this is how you do exec comms

and show consistency

[John Hutton @johnghutton]

@garrytan @shaunmmaguire This is when Grok pulls away from the pack.

Best cost-to-quality ratio of the frontier labs and less annoying idiosyncrasies baked into the model. Great for cost sensitive teams that still need results and don’t want AI to tell them how to think. 2027 is the year.

@tdoggyholhol @natecavanaugh More manifestos please

[John Hutton @johnghutton]

@bitcloud Good take. Thanks for sharing from actual film experience and not just posturing.
