Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
Your team doesn't know how to send tasks. That's not a training problem—that's a systems problem.
When handing off: What needs done, why it matters, what success looks like, here's the resources.
Stop letting chaos masquerade as hustle.
Four types of people at every company now
yes, people get 10x better when the go from bottom right to top right
but also, people get 10x worse when they go from bottom left to top left
You don't need better tools.
You need better workflows.
I see people with VAPI, High Level, Twilio, Google Calendar — all sitting in their tech stack doing nothing.
They don't talk to each other.
Your competitive advantage isn't the tools. It's making them all work together.
Self-hosting @openclaw can take hours the first time. Server setup, security hardening, monitoring, updates...
So I built https://t.co/7IQijG6Wbt — managed OpenClaw hosting that goes from signup to running instance in under 5 minutes.
Step-by-step setup wizard right in the dashboard. Pick your provider, authenticate (OAuth for OpenAI, setup tokens for Anthropic, or paste an API key), choose your model, and you're live.
Dedicated VPS. Zero maintenance.
so just to recap this week (so far)
- musk industries is real (spacex, tesla, xai merger)
- clawdbot explosion leading to a bankrun on mac minis but then anthropic released their own version
- tesla dropped the bomb they’re halting production on model s and x to scale 1M optimus humanoid robots this year instead
- china dropped the mother of all open source models kimi k2.5 that turn video into production-ready apps but then google dropped a gemini update ON THE SAME DAY that does the same thing gg
- google said fuck it and also launched the worlds greatest world model genie and switched on gemini for 3.8B chrome browser users AND released alpha genome model that one-shots 1M dna base pairs for 3000 researchers across 160 countries AND teased new veo model
- microsoft crushed earnings, launched a new ai chip but stock still tanked 10% because they *only* grew rev 39%
- anthropic round 2X oversubbed raised to 20B 🏌️
- openai raising another $100B, 750B val 🏌️
- intel leaked they’re gonna help produce nvidias next gen feynman gpus - hello americas tsmc
- a robot (built by figure) washed the dishes with zero human interaction
- apple acquired stealth startup for $2B that can lip read - integrating their tech for new ai consumer airpods with cameras and mics
- demis confirms google glass 2.0 coming this summer
fckin hell
Before AI coding agents, I'd constantly have 2 or 3 side-projects that I would struggle to finish
AI completely changed the game
Now I have 15-20 unfinished side-projects
If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
Keith Rabois has a line that is timely and important and still lives
rent-free in my head:
“Most companies hire bullets when they really need cannons.”
The first time I heard that, it stung a little. Because I could immediately see exactly where I’d done it.
A “bullet” is someone who moves only when you aim them. You point, load, and give detailed instructions. Then they fly in a straight line and stop.
A “cannon” is different. You point them at a problem and step back. They create impact on their own. They see around corners. They make other people’s jobs easier just by doing theirs.
Once you see that distinction, you start looking at everyone differently:
Who actually creates momentum? Who owns outcomes, not just tasks? Who sends you solutions instead of waiting for direction?
When I look back on the best “teams” I’ve ever been a part of, they rarely had huge headcounts.
They had:
• A handful of cannons who really cared
• Clear lanes and ownership
• The freedom to actually do the work
These days, when I think about hiring, I’m asking myself way simpler questions:
• Would I trust them with something I really care about?
• Do they like owning things end to end?
• Would they still create value if I disappeared for a month?
If the answer is yes, that’s a cannon. You figure out how to make space for them.
You can add all the tools, playbooks, and dashboards you want.
But if you don’t have a few real cannons on the team, you’re just rearranging bullets.
For 8 straight quarters, I knew AI would kill my business.
Every time someone suggested I do something about it: "That's a distraction."
Then in March, 3 people told me the same thing in 3 days.
That's when I realized I'd been asking the wrong question the entire time.
This question will decide the winners and losers in 2026 👇

Grok 4 Heavy is ridiculous...
Coding with Grok before worked but there was lots of back and forth after it wrote code.
Now it asks through all of the questions like a systems architect would to build the project right on the first go.
A whole new level of coding is unlocked.
You can’t explain the evils of socialism to a young person while they are forced to go $80,000 in to debt to get the same job their father got with an apprenticeship
Or while their tech job, that they were told was a golden ticket. is being actively outsourced to India
When they are unable to start a family or buy a home until they’re 35 or 40 while they watch private equity scoop up every stater home and turn it into a rental, or watch a boomer/genxer buy them up and turn them into an Airbnb
You might still be right, but they can’t hear you until you care about and address the problems eating our country whole
I love that I can talk to @grok while driving my Tesla. I can ask it to look up places and get phone numbers etc.
However, I'm baffled that @grok can't connect with the car to make phone calls.
Help me make sense of it @elonmusk
I love that CNN and @kaitlancollins have on as their regular foreign policy guru the single most deranged and bloodthirsty warmonger to serve in the US Govt and decades: that's her guru.
And they have him on to bash Trump for not escalating enough wars and trying to end some:
