It makes me happy that the Bushes showed up as well. Remember what America was like before polarization? It wasn't that long ago.

@landon20s Terrible idea. The future of finance will look to build elsewhere.

Buy bitcoin in Chicago ? Taxed.
Transfer bitcoin in Chicago? Taxed.
Hold with a custodian in Chicago? Taxed.

Time to move from Chicago.

@Jason Absolutely absurd.

@JackMac Unbelievable.

[Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani]

The unlikely career of Justin Gaethje culminates in the unlikeliest of spots for a fight.

He’s earned this and deserves it. Give him his flowers.

And in the end, this celebration of America actually ends with the American on top.

Unbelievable.

@ErikVoorhees @DavidSacks Sounds closer to the truth.

@collinmelink There’s no time. Get going!

@WilliamShatner Yes! At 9 cents/share, from way back.

No, you don't get it.

He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.

To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.

Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".

$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12

If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.

But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

We went from the Wright Brothers' first flight to the Boeing 747 in 66 years.

@bcherny Do you have any tips that aren’t focused around increasing token usage?

I think users would appreciate this, and it will come off as honest when there is incentive to do the opposite.

@BenAdelson @Scobleizer @satnam6502 Interior quality can improve, but it is extremely hard with the price point they offer to consumers.

Mass production, quality and price are probably the levers.
