@WesternLensman@RoKhanna why don't you start opening your wallet first instead of viewing the rich as the government's piggybank. If you had no billionaires to tax, what would you do? Here's another thought...start with zero based budgeting for all governments...state and federal.
@Jason Also the idea of a career politician was not what the founding fathers had in mind. You should serve for a stated period of time in public office and then leave and resume your normal course of business. It should be about serving your country...not making $$$.
@Jason Paying them that much would be absurd. You don't change corrupt behavior by paying someone more. Instead, you put them in jail, fine the hell out of them, etc. for insider trading.
This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America.
A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact.
It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy:
56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases.
More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide.
343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information.
That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison.
The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once:
The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry.
Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate.
Now look at the individual leaderboard:
- Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100
- Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers
- Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late
- Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade
And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked.
She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO.
The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine.
The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero.
And the cruelest part is this:
A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed.
But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is.
They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing.
The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.
@KySportsRadio I preferred CM Newton. Too many garbage decisions with Mitch...lifetime contracts, questionable hires, too slow in adapting to NIL, condescending to the fanbase, etc.
People ask about muni’s and I typically don’t have much to say.
But now, looking at the deficits caused by absurd spending, and tax policies accelerating revenue erosion, I can say avoid all General Obligation muni’s in California, Illinois & New York.
I’ve never bought a GO.
I plan on owning my own Tesla Robotaxi fleet one day.
And the more I run the numbers, the more I realize this new business could become one of the most powerful income opportunities I've ever seen.
This is how I'm thinking about it.
Based on many analyst models and Tesla’s long-term vision, a reasonable base case assumption is about ~$30,000 per year in net profit per Robotaxi to the owner. This is after things like Tesla’s platform fee, charging, tires, maintenance, insurance, and cleaning.
Of course, the network is still early and Tesla is just beginning to roll this out in pilot programs in a few cities, so there’s no official real-world owner earnings yet... but using reasonable assumptions around utilization, pricing per mile, and operating costs, the math starts to get really interesting.
If one Robotaxi can earn around $30,000 per year, here’s what a fleet might look like:
• $100,000 per year → about 4 Robotaxis
• $500,000 per year → about 17 Robotaxis
• $1,000,000 per year → about 34 Robotaxis
It may sound a bit crazy at first, but when you break it down, it starts to make more sense.
These vehicles could potentially drive 50,000 to 100,000+ miles per year in high demand areas. If the economics land somewhere around $0.25-$0.50 profit per mile after all costs, you end up right around that ~$30k per vehicle per year range.
And remember, the Tesla’s Robotaxi network is going to work a lot like Airbnb for cars. You add your vehicle to the network, Tesla handles the software, routing, payments, and rider experience, and they take a platform fee (often modeled around 25-35%). The owner keeps the rest after operating costs.
Another thing that makes this interesting is the expected cost of the vehicles themselves.
Tesla has talked about the purpose-built Cybercabs costing roughly $25k-$30k and Elon told me production is starting in 1 month! If that’s even close to reality, a fleet capable of generating around $1 million per year could theoretically cost somewhere around $850k-$1M in vehicles. That ROI is pretty freakin good!
Now to be clear, none of this is guaranteed. I'm just thinking out loud and sharing it with you... a lot still depends on regulations, how fast unsupervised FSD scales, demand in each city, insurance costs, and how Tesla structures the network.
But if the system works the way Elon has described it for years, owning a Robotaxi fleet could become one of the most powerful forms of passive income I've ever seen. And I plan on sharing the numbers with everyone on 𝕏 when the day comes.
Personally, that’s why I’m paying such close attention.
Bc one day, owning a fleet of autonomous Teslas working for me 24/7 might be the modern version of owning a rental property, except instead of tenants, you’ve got robots driving people around all day while you sleep.
This next book of Tesla is going to be so exciting!
@Jason@openclaw Are you worried you are giving all your personal info to openai now that they bought openclaw? That was your reason for using Claude as opposed to ChatGPT.
Traffic accident statistics went utterly goose shit after Colorado turned their entire government into a Pot Dispensary. (A 151% spike in impaired driving accidents and a 300% spike in fatalities from same)
By then, they were making so much money, CO chose to bury the stats.
Huge launch from the @joinmassive team: ClawPod. Infrastructure is the biggest bottleneck in the agentic era. While others focus on models, Massive is solving the "last mile" of web access for 145k+ OpenClaw users. They are moving from AI demos to autonomous agents that work.
