👁️ woke up in the middle of the night last night and saw an ai interview between the characters Mel Carmine and Austin Steinbart.

Thought 👁️ was dreaming.

Impressive technology.

😂

@unidentifiedta1 I watched it last night also and got Grok to weigh in on the mystery person who follows Trump: https://t.co/QefwKWMpiW

Lots of stuff actually. Most of what I do is not online.

I was in a different city every few days for the entirety of 2025.

Can’t talk publicly about most of the places I was at, or people I was with.

A few friends from my internet tribe (who I trust to keep their mouths shut) get occasional glimpses behind the scenes. Everyone else gets to see things when they are made public.

You are correct that I’m not a very good social media influencer. Luckily my hand is so stacked, that it doesn’t matter. I could step on every single rake and whack myself in the face every single time from here to the very end and still win.

[Thomas Farr @ThomasFarr50]

@AustinSteinbart @ArcheiaJ @dchase133 It just occurred to me that the readers of your posts that you are talking to when your communications are most oblique are not your official followers on X. But they are,very likely, your most careful readers. You remain, as always, a mystery wrapped in a riddle. Soldier on.

@CharuSan83 I really enjoying your content! I take an XRP for “dummies approach” because I don’t have deep crypto functional knowledge. I am interested to know what XRP fans think of my analogy and Grok’s responses: https://t.co/wiVP9DqiaL

XRP Fam, actually this was a very important post, but I don't understand why it didn't get any traction 🤔

A lot of people right now are learning the British empire dynamic. Because Promethean Action is out there promoting that and using it to explain why this war is some kind of masterful 5D chess move. I do not agree with that assessment.

The war in Iran is not vanquishing the City of London. It’s crashing the dollar.

Lloyd’s of London is a group of highly diversified rich people who can ride out instability and write insurance policies in any currency.

The war in Iran is going to set off the biggest financial crash we‘ve ever had in the US.

This is no shade at @PrometheanActn. They seem like nice people. And I like that lots of people are learning about LaRouche. I think LaRouche was a legend and a pioneer and deserves mad respect for some of the pieces to the puzzle, and the overall mental model that he brought fourth.

But he wasn’t right about everything. He had several major blind spots. One of which was FDR and one of which was Hamilton.

FDR was a heroin dealers nepo grand baby who got us into WW2 on purpose.

Hamilton created a National bank where 80% of its shares were held by foreign oligarchs.

We don’t want that model again.

We don’t need that model. We aren’t a tiny frontier country anymore. We are the financial center of the earth. We have the biggest economy and the deepest capital markets right here in the USA.

We don’t want a government national bank that is owned by foreigners.

The majority of XRP investors are not those who say "when lambo"; they consist of people who want to take care of their parents and those who are trying to build a good future for their children.

People who don't have a family and work at a grocery store, those who don't own a home constantly pay rent and want to buy a house, people who have worked their entire lives and now just want to take a breath of fresh air, and those like me who are trapped in the matrix system and aim to escape from there are the true face of this community.

Do not break the trust of these people who have believed in you for years ✨

[Honey Badger @MissKrissula]

@gothburz I don't care about your money. I care about you doing your job to the best of your ability. You have the weight of the US Treasury on your shoulders. Thank you Sir for accepting this position. I am so excited to see what you will accomplish in your role!

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

@marktmaxwell The career professionals spent decades keeping the eighteen agencies from speaking to each other. I consolidated all of them into one Cash App account before lunch. That is the reset you ordered.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am William Pulte, and as of this morning the President Trump appointed me acting Director of National Intelligence of the United States.

I am thirty-eight. I have never held a security clearance, never served in uniform, never sat through a briefing that wasn't about interest rates. The President says I have deep experience in the safety and soundness of ten trillion dollars. He is right. I have spent two years deciding which Americans are sound and which are not, and now I get to do it with satellites.

You know me from Twitter. I invented Twitter philanthropy. I picked strangers at random and sent them thirty thousand dollars over Cash App, winners announced in the thread, and three and a half million people followed me to watch it happen. Is that a fanbase? It is a voluntary intelligence database, self-enrolled, fully consented, sorted by who needed the cash most. The desperate identify themselves, like fish swimming up to the boat. I only read the replies.

Before this I ran housing finance. I want to be clear about my method, because people call it political and it is not. It is real estate.

I noticed Lisa Cook had listed two homes as primary residences. Mortgage fraud. I referred her. Then I turned to Letitia James. Adam Schiff. Eric Swalwell. Fani Willis. One after another, the way you'd pull comps on a block before you buy it. I am a homebuilder. My grandfather was also named William Pulte, and he laid the foundations, the literal ones, poured concrete, raised the largest homebuilder in America. I inherited the name and the trade. I know what a house is for, and it is not for shaving a point off your rate, and it is certainly not for sitting in judgment of the President after I have your closing documents open on my desk.

The President removed Cook in August. A judge blocked it in September. The Supreme Court let her keep the seat in October. One of my deputies went on television and promised she will be charged no matter how the Court rules. I did not correct him. I never interrupt a man who is describing the future.

They have a phrase for what I do. Safety and soundness. I applied it to Jerome Powell, who refuses to cut rates and refuses to quit, which renders him, by my own definition, unsound. So I post at him. From my personal account, the same handle where I gave away the thirty thousand dollars, which has lately become the handle where I issue agency directives, because nobody instructed me to stop and I have never once stopped of my own accord.

I still run the FHFA. I chair Fannie Mae. I chair Freddie Mac. Nobody asked me to surrender any of it, so I kept all three, the way a careful man keeps the gas masks. I am the only person in this city who can pull your mortgage, your followers, and the President's Daily Brief from a single chair, and wire you a Cash App payment before I stand up.

The transition team asked for my hundred-day plan. I sent them a screenshot of my following list.

Here is how it works now. The tip line is a giveaway. Report a neighbor, get entered to win, winners announced in the thread. Americans will watch each other for far less than thirty thousand dollars, I have run the numbers, and the ones who do it for nothing are the ones I keep.

Everyone begins sound. Soundness can be lost. This is no longer a watchlist, you understand, because a watchlist names suspects and mine names all of you, which is broader, which is more fair.

I do not declassify documents. I retweet them. The President's Daily Brief drops at nine eastern, peak engagement, and the version with the names goes only to close friends.

Foreign intelligence is the identical trade on a wider street. Ask me which countries claimed two capitals as a primary residence. I have already referred three.

The GAO opened an inquiry into me. Into whether I abused my authority, as though authority came with some gentler setting. I welcomed it warmly. A federal probe is just the government admitting you matter, and I read their letter the way I read all correspondence now, as a roster of names bolted to addresses. They are still awaiting my response. It will come. The GAO leases its office, and I have studied the lease.

Tulsi stepped aside at the end of May. They wanted somebody quickly, somebody confirmed for something, anything at all, and I had been confirmed for housing back when the Senate still confirmed people. So I serve in an acting capacity. It happens to be my specialty. I have spent my whole life qualifying for posts the morning after I already occupied them, and the paperwork has always wandered around to my side eventually, the way a jury softens once it remembers where it parks.

My confirmation hearing arrives in the fall. Am I nervous? I have already read the file of every senator who will sit in that room. I have read the file of every reporter who will describe it. Two of them took my money in 2021, and neither gave it back.

The eighteen agencies no longer need to speak to one another. They need to speak to me. You can reach the entire intelligence community by tagging me, and most of you already have.

Like and retweet for national security. Winners announced in the thread.

14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.

And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.

I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.

Happy Birthday, XRP!

[Dom Kwok | EasyA @dom_kwok]

a lot of people who think they’re smart (but in reality just naive) are asking me who “they” are.

well, “they” are the market makers, algos and other institutional big money who manipulate crypto prices to shake out retail.

then they buy back lower.

if you don’t believe crypto prices are manipulated, you are living in fantasy world.

1k retweets and i’ll make a post highlighting exactly how they do this.

Many have reached out to me regarding the new Cyber EO. A few thoughts:

First, President Trump is the most pro-innovation president we’ve ever had. He’s made it clear that the U.S. has to win the AI race and that a pro-innovation, pro-energy, and pro-infrastructure policy is the way to do that. Thanks to President Trump, AI will generate over a 2% tailwind to GDP growth this year, with hundreds of thousands of new construction jobs and 25-30% wage increases for blue collar workers. President Trump is the reason that we have an AI boom happening right now.

The change in the EO from a 90 day to 30 day period is a game changer because it allows our AI labs to comply with the voluntary framework without delaying new model releases. They can synchronize their efforts under the EO with other pre-release activities. Furthermore, I’ve been advised by the lawyers who draft EOs that 30 days means calendar days, not business days. In the AI race, every day counts.

As OSTP well notes, “The EO creates a process for frontier labs to voluntarily share cutting-edge cyber models in order to secure critical infrastructure and strengthen the government’s own cyber defenses. We are NOT conducting oversight of all new models, as that level of government overreach would have chilling effects on free speech and innovation.”

OSTP’s characterization is completely consistent with the discussions that I have participated in, where it was agreed that the EO is intended to apply only to models that represent a meaningful step-change in cyber capabilities (eg Mythos), not to incremental version numbers of existing models (eg Opus 4.7 -> 4.8).

Finally, I understand the concerns of many that this could morph into an “FDA for AI”. Of course bureaucratic mission creep is always a danger and this should be closely monitored. But the EO expressly forbids the creation of a new licensing, preclearance, or permitting regime. Most importantly, I do not believe that President Trump would allow this to happen.

As AI presents new policy challenges (such as cyberweapons), I believe that everyone in the administration is working diligently to navigate the issues with the American people in mind. I look forward to working with the Treasury, NSA, ONCD and others on the implementation of this framework.

Every time someone flips me off just because I'm driving a Cybertruck, I wonder what happened in their lives that made them so mentally broken and susceptible to being brainwashed.

@eisenhowe8 Laura Al Stubblebine divulged about the missile to the Pentagon in 911. He was married to someone I knew. I knew of him in retirement. Did he end up being good?
