@gillinghammer Agreed.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

@gillinghammer @Scobleizer This is fantastic!

I'm going to say something that doesn't reflect well on me or my wife.

We let the kids have the iPad for too long. Way too long.

We realized that it was ruining their personalities.

I watched it happen and I didn't act fast enough.

We took the iPads away. Took the phones. All of it.

And I got my children back.

They’ve been de-zombified. The difference was immediate and it was dramatic.

So let me give credit where it's due.

Shout out to Jonathan Haidt.
Shout out to Kara Swisher

You think you're giving your kid entertainment.

A way to decompress. Something to keep them occupied.

You're handing them something that is quietly rewiring how they think, how they feel, and how they connect with the people right in front of them.

Take it away. You'll get your kid back too.

I promise you won’t regret it!

@gillinghammer Happy Birthday!

@gillinghammer What's the statute of limitations on something like this?

[Jeff Finkelstein @jfinkelstein]

@XFreeze @elonmusk Elon may be technically right, but his behavior and politics are so toxic that he’s repelled anyone who would consider licensing FSD, perhaps he knows what he has and his behavior is by design. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@gillinghammer In a Back-to-the-Future-2-alternative-Biff-timeline kinda way.

[David Waxman @oddbowler]

@Lemonade_Inc @Tesla How? There's nothing in my app that allows me to accomplish this, and your AI customer service doesn't know what I'm talking about and won't connect me to a live agent.

@Shopify I wouldn't be posting when we can't access our accounts.

[David Waxman @oddbowler]

@elonmusk @LewisWithrow5 @SawyerMerritt They want FSD. They don't want Elon.

@gillinghammer and people still question the simulation.

[David Waxman @oddbowler]

@freshjiva The interviews were pretty bad. Elon was grumpy AF.

@jfinkelstein Anything less would be a compromise to your safety.
