Most people today treat multi-hour daily social media scrolling as a normal, low-cost way to unwind or stay connected. By 2050 it may look as reckless as mid-20th-century doctors endorsing cigarettes: a habit that eroded attention, sleep, and real relationships while being sold as harmless entertainment.

"My car also has FSD"

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

If Tesla offered this SUV lineup in the US:
• Model Y (188" long, two rows)
• Model Y L (196" long, three rows)
• Cyber SUV (~210" length, same as GMC Yukon, three rows)

This would be one hell of an all-electric self-driving capable SUV lineup that would serve the needs of families of pretty much all sizes.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

A guy goes into a bar in New York where the bartender is a robot.

The guy sits down at the bar, and the robot asks: "What will you have?

The guy replies, "Whiskey."
The robot brings back his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"

The guy says, "168."

The robot talks about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.

After the guy leaves, he pauses at the street corner and thinks about what he just encountered, and the more he thinks about it, the more curious he gets, so he decides to go back.

The robot asks, "What's your drink?"

The guy answers, "Whiskey."

The robot returns with his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"

This time, the man replies "100."

The robot talks about NASCAR, Budweiser, Awbarn, and professional wrestling.

The man finishes his drink and leaves, but he is so interested in this "experiment" that he decides he'll try again.

He enters the bar and, as usual, the robot asks him what he wants to drink.

The man replies, "Whiskey."
The robot brings the drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"

This time, the man answers "50."

The robot leans in real close and s-l-o-w-l-y asks, "So, are you people still unhappy that Kamala Harris lost?"

I should also mention that the $99/month for supervised FSD will rise as FSD’s capabilities improve.

The massive value jump is when you can be on your phone or sleeping for the entire ride (unsupervised FSD).

[Maverick__47 @Maverick__47]

@DillonLoomis
This poll is really telling. I’m not sure Elon has the right intuition of FSD capabilities, price and take rate.
The majority of people simple won’t/can’t afford it to go higher.

I’m curious what this poll would look like if we added ‘drop me off at airport then go home and park, come get me when I land’

Free daycare has been a talking point for years.

Turns out if politicians had stopped fraud to the fake, non existent daycares you would have had enough money to give the real thing away for free.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Anyone who thinks the California government has a revenue problem is mathematically illiterate or part of the fraud.

California does not have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. Politicians and their henchmen stealing tens of billions of dollars PER YEAR from our pockets.

Ask yourself why they can’t pass an audit! Ask yourself why they change the reporting rules on your pension! Do you start to see a pattern?

Endless reams of money keep falling through the cracks with no accountability into the waiting hands of thieves.

When is enough, enough?

California will soon start to lose its grip on being the most vibrant state in America. The billionaires will leave. The millionaires and middle class will too.

And once they are done taxing us of everything we have, and none of us are left, they will tax you.

Now, if you’re frustrated about crime, healthcare and education you should be. I am, too: our approach to these issues is trash. Our results on these issues are also trash.

So fix the problem: kick out the people who run the kleptocracy. Elect real leaders who are competent, firm, tough and high agency.

But no matter what you do, if you keep asking for politicians to take people’s money, you are firmly part of the fraud not part of the solution…and everyone sees you.

[david friedberg @friedberg]

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…
