Since I'm a $SPCX owner now, I'd like my company to become a visual universe-scape of the connections between all researchers, ie we're ALL researchers ... I know, I know -- ownership does not mean that I get a vote, but I want my stake to be worth more.

Maybe @Grok or @NikitaBier or somebody working @SpaceXAI or @ElonMusk or somebody else has more ideas on how we can turn @X into more of an obvious visual BUT VIRTUAL navigable universe-scape of connected ideas, without being CREEPY-connected about it, ie we don't actually want people dropping by our homes or favorite places and hanging out with us in a physical sense ... it's JUST about separate, distinct, different ideas ... but NOT about hyper-summarized, homogenized, AI-swaged, hyper-aggregated SUMMARIES that one gets in a @Grok response ... what we really want is navigable universe-scape of connected ideas and thoughtlets ... maybe like @ConnectedPapers, but not for the useful research that might matter like the @SemanticScholar stuff, but just for ALL dumbshit research ... dumbshit stuff is the precursor of useful stuff.

Yes we are all doing RESEARCH ... ok, not all of us do USEFUL stuff -- we're are ALL just dumbshit researchers, but the most insufferable dumbshits don't know they're also dumbshits ... so we don't need to dwell on our limitations.

Everyone wants @ZachLahn to come to their town.

@ZachLahn is the kind of young guy who you know you can just trust to cook your pork chop right.

Zach is competent, builder of different companies and a decent Iowan.

---

The appeal of Zach is someone who can just DO the task at hand ... this sounds simple, but it is is in STARK contrast to his opponent, a much older [but still less mature], angrier, yappier non-accomplisher ... who has bounced around as a political operative, lately being a NeverShowUpToWork State Auditor shirker who's goes MIA for eight years while he's supposed to auditing the ultra corrupt, inefficient and rapidly worsening educational system of Iowa, but then shows up to turn out a poisonous pork chop and also promises to make people who don't care for his poisonous charade to "eat their medicine."

This week's Thursday night consisted of flipping pork chops at the Iowa County fairgrounds and a throwback to some Chuck Schumer memes. 😂

Everyone hopes @RobSandIA retires from multiple decades as a super-annoying incompetent political operative.

Maybe he can just enter the nursing home early as a precocious senile Bidenesque fumbler of duties who never goes away.

John Thune is planning on drafting his own version of the NDAA actively working to try to block the SAVE AMERICA ACT. This will now have to be done in conference. A Manager’s Amendment from the Chairwoman Fox of rules can Force this in once the Senate sends us their version.

The only reason why nuclear power is expensive is because of compliance regulations, which you and the rest of your colleagues in Congress have the power to change.

Nuclear fission reactors / power plants are incredibly cheap in to build China, where they’re building reactors for $2.50 USD / watt. Wind is a loser that cannot power industrialized societies.

Alberta doesn’t have to accept decline just because Canada has.

At the Great American State Fair, I just announced a proposed roll back of the Biden admin's overburdensome truck emission rules. This proposal, which includes a permanent and total elimination of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) deratements, would save American truckers $12 billion. https://t.co/9EzvvjKkgR

SpaceX is building the Gigasat Factory in Bastrop to manufacture AI satellites at massive scale.

This facility is planned to enable rapid production and deployment of thousands of AI satellites starting as soon as late 2027.

The “last mile” has always been the weakest link in autonomous delivery.

Autonomous vehicles excel on structured roads.

But stairs? Grass? Narrow walkways? That’s where they start to struggle.

That’s why the vehicle + quadruped combo actually makes sense.

Workflow:

→ Autonomous vehicle: warehouse → delivery station (efficient, long-haul)

→ Robot dog: takes over the messy final few hundred meters — stairs, doorsteps, uneven ground.

The quadruped carries 30 kg, handles rough terrain, and works in harsh conditions.

The bigger idea isn’t replacing workers — it’s building a system where each robot does what it does best.

Wheels for speed. Legs for the places wheels can’t go.

That’s how autonomous delivery starts to feel real.

Every state and local election official is on notice – knowingly encouraging noncitizens to vote or conspiring to fraudulently register noncitizens is a federal crime. The @CivilRights Division is ready to help with compliance as American citizens deserve free and fair elections!
