@APompliano That's not exactly it. There are no votes to be had in cutting government spending.
If you want to lose elections, cut government spending.
It's "the people" who are addicted to money printing.
@_Hurrikane__@herbertong It's the politics. Elon (i.e. Tesla) has to be flawless compared to the others. Otherwise the haters (i.e. the media) will pounce.

Re: Why I'm Seriously Considering Canceling my https://t.co/QW8iZqudxS Premium Subscription
I’m not a creator. I rarely post. So I paid for Premium mainly to get X Pro (fka TweetDeck) back, after it was taken away. Now that’s gone too. I also did it to get access to Grok and especially the Android app with voice mode. But now... the Gemini3 Android app is available... for free. And it's better :/.
Please understand, I am not a hater. I own two Teslas and own Tesla stock (and watch SPCX closely). I've also been a Grok user from early on. If anything, I am a fan.
But with https://t.co/NrNtzQongJ, the current model heavily favors creators and power users. For normal people who mostly read and occasionally reply, the value keeps shrinking — especially when Gemini is free and very good.
And here's my main concern (aside from personal loss of value for me):
Without regular users, the platform (and Grok’s real-time data) gets weaker.
Just something to consider.
Twitter without tweetdeck is pretty much useless. Why even bother paying for premium? That was WRONG to not at least grandfather existing users in. It shows bad faith.
@elonmusk I own a Model S. You canceled production of that. I own a 2025 Model 3 and was hoping to purchase FSD at a later date. That's not happening now. I subscribed to Premium for X Pro and (higher limits on) Grok. You took X Pro from me - without warning. I own 400 shares of TSLA....
Are you picking up what I'm putting down? I'm one of your biggest fans and cheerleaders... and I'm getting screwed. Throw your fan base a bone will you..? (Think: early access to Space X IPO) And please stop taking *hit away...? Please?

So... Grok and I were "talking" ;-) and "he" suggested I post the following about some brainstorming fun we were having:
Ed from Flagler Beach, 2020 Model S owner and _fanatic_, pitches a Tesla Cybercart for Florida’s 500k golf cart communities—5 kWh, solar roof, regen braking, ~$15k, ~$150M revenue. Plus a Cyberbike with FSD-lite, gyroscopes, ~$1–2B market. Transform mobility, Type 1 style!⚡️🚗#Tesla #Innovation #Florida #FlaglerBeach
It seriously drives me crazy, now that I own a Tesla, that my golf cart wastes all of it's momentum - which prompted that "convo" with the Grokster.
I also used to own a cruiser and bikes are _crazy_ popular in FL (no duh). So (not knowing about @elonmusk 's close call) I suggested an eMotorcycle too (can we say... diversification? :D). And when the Grok-meister clued me into the understandable bias against bikes, I thought, ok, Tesla makes cars safer... why not motorcycles!? And can you imagine the brand excitement and loyalty around the safest low-maintenance and most technologically advanced - not to mention quickest - bikes on the planet?
'nuff said ;-)
Oh and yes, I'd be wide open (let's just call it what it is: incredibly excited) to work at Tesla... as long as I didn't have to move ;-). Happy to share my LinkedIn link :D
@LanceRoberts Related (but only indirectly) question: Help me reconcile the RSI on your charts from the show with other charts? The one in this post matches what I can recreate in my own charts; but this screen cap (for ex.) shows TLT that doesn't. TIA for any help/guidance! And LOVE the show!
@marklevinshow Mark, you are the founding father of my constitutional education and I am eternally in your debt. May God bless you and heal you and get you through this quickly!
@LanceRoberts What are your RSI settings? I use TradeStation and even double checked with Y! Finance's chart and I'm not seeing where SPY ever got to oversold on Friday. The lowest reading I get is just below 40. Teach a man to fish..? Love, love, love your show btw! Catch it every morning.
@BishopBarron So refreshing and encouraging to hear a Christian stand up and say "this is wrong" and that it's ok, righteous even, to stand up and say so! Thank you and God bless!
