@niccruzpatane I haven't even gotten 14.3 yet, let alone .1 or .2. Have been set on the advanced option since day 1 of ownership.

@BryceMLipscomb @AIPAC @TomSteyer @SteveHiltonx I guess if you’re a single issue voter who doesn’t even live in CA, that gives you the flexibility to support someone like Steyer. But for those of us who actually live in CA, Hilton is the only candidate who can fix the state. Do yourself a favor and read Califailure.

@farzyness @wholemars As much as I would love to have a cybercab, my 2026 Y with the latest FSD software installed will not go down my driveway no matter what I do. Without a steering wheel and pedals, I could not get a cybercab to my house. Not to mention the NAV issues I have with it.

Sentiments of Venezuelans

I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

Then shut the fuck up.

You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.

Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.

My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.

Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.

And everything died.

Not slowly.
Violently.

People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.

They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.

So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.

China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.

They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.

If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity

Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.

Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.

This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.

Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.

If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation

Then again
Shut the fuck up.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

What you are saying is not true in any meaningful way.

You can say whatever you want as an untethered hypothetical, but here in reality, what you are actually advocating for is NOT a 1-2% wealth tax for established billionaires - it is a 5% tax calculated all in one year, payable (with interest!) over the subsequent five. That puts massive risk on founders with zero risk for you or Califorjia - as I just pointed out, one market correction (or worst case but sadly common, the company goes under) and I am homeless on the street with literally billions of dollars in debt that cannot be discharged even in bankruptcy.

Nor does this initiative you are pushing have ANY sort of provision for founders like me with illiquid shares in unprofitable companies - if I have to come up with billions of dollars, how can I possibly keep putting all our profit back into new R&D that keeps our warfighters safer? You are effectively forcing companies to immediately pivot into profit obsessesion over mission or long-term sustainability! Again, you say that isn't what you support, but that claim is not consistent with what you are actually doing.

This is all extraordinarily frustrating politician-speak that nobody in the industry is dumb enough to fall for. It is the same as saying you support reasonable speed limits with higher speeds for rural areas even as you explicitly push for a national 55mph speed limit, all the while claiming with a smile that you "support" a wide range of speeds. No, you don't, and no, you don't.

This thing needs to be fixed @x @premium

[BJU @ryanjburry]

hey @x and @premium i would be grateful if you could bring back my "following" chronological feed so it doesn't show me identical posts as my "for you" feed. it's the only reason i pay for premium. ok thanks bye.

Your own party did this to you Don. There was no question Biden couldn’t run again long before he finally bowed out. In fact, when he ran and won the first time recall he said he would be a one-term president so totally fucked everyone by trying to go again. You all brought this on yourselves.

@Barefoot_Will_ How are you guys measuring foot strength? I've been wearing barefoot shoes for 10 years and will never go back but truly have no idea if my feet are any "stronger".

@ReallyAmerican1 Do you know how many seats republicans from ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, and CT have in congress? Zero.

Do you know what percentage of those 6 states vote republican? 40%.

How about we worry about fixing that before screwing up CA any more than it already is, ok?

@mmpadellan You do know that footage is video from 2017, right dad?

[BJU @ryanjburry]

As someone else in my feed said, “college was enough to radicalize this kid. A single year of professors dripping their toxic propaganda and lies into his ears poisoned his brain. He fell in with the wrong crowd. Joined antifa Discord rooms. Took photos wearing Communist shirts. He argued with his family over dinner that Kirk was a Fascist and an existential threat. And then made a plan. He engraved antifa sayings on the bullet casings.”

So there goes that theory of yours BDD.

[BJU @ryanjburry]

@xMikeMac I believe this has altered the course of history since I have no doubt he would have been President one day, and voices like his do not come along often.
