As we watch the current administration ignore America’s long history of due process, it’s worth recalling the ramifications of the Bush administration’s torture of suspects in foreign lands. nytimes.com/2025/04/29/us/po…
Perhaps Elon needs to pay attention to his actual business. Tesla, SpaceX. apnews.com/article/nasa-stuc…
So Musk cheats at video games. The most amazing statement he’s made though is that one can’t beat players in Asia without it. Isn’t that our accusation about the Chinese, they’ve stolen their way to digital primacy? Great story, @drewharwell washingtonpost.com/technolog…
This story on the military benefits of SpaceX is worth your time. Kudos to @evadou and her co-authors. washingtonpost.com/technolog…
Speaking of government waste, maybe it’s time for someone to suggest closing down the detention center at #Guantanamo @elonmusk this is from 2022, so no doubt the costs are higher now. nytimes.com/2022/09/16/us/po…
The media landscape is in flux and Trump understood that in a way Harris did not. Maybe not spending three hours at @joerogan ‘s Austin studio would have been a good time investment. hollywoodreporter.com/news/p…
Here’s @TaylorLorenz on how Trump bested Harris with influencers. hollywoodreporter.com/news/p…

This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov is detained in France for running afoul of content moderation standards. When did @elonmusk last visit there? washingtonpost.com/technolog…
So Trump is promising to release all the JFK assassination files. He promised that before but it didn’t happen. Why should we expect follow through now? washingtonpost.com/elections…

Most American voters like sexual and reproductive choice and don't like abortion/IVF bans and liability for sexual abuse. By all means let's have this election be about that.

Excited to announce that my book about China's most important company, Huawei Technologies, will be out on Jan. 21. Looking forward to sharing this saga of how a small band of entrepreneurs and a nation built something wholly expected ... and all that came next.
Smokey Robinson can still perform at 84, we see from tonight’s Capitol Fourth. Just saying. #4thofJuly
This post in the Post’s Tech Brief newsletter emphasizes the court’s critical First Amendment finding yesterday that content moderation is protected speech. Social media platforms can remove what they wish. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
The Trump immunity decision has sucked up all the air. But the Scotus decision in the NetChoice case merits more attention: after 4 years of attacking content moderation, the court’s majority finally acknowledges social media have a right to exclude posts they don’t like.
Biden was headed in the right direction, talking about the impact of immigration on the economy. But then he quit.
Worth noting that Comey Barrett found judge Doughty’s ruling factually inaccurate. Which was obvious at the time, but nevertheless was upheld by a 5th Circuit panel. Corruption in the judiciary has never been more obvious in a case. nytimes.com/2024/06/26/us/po…
