As a gay man, I'll say what a lot of us are thinking. We fought to be left alone. To marry the man we love, keep our jobs, and live a quiet life. We won. Then woke activists took our letters, stapled on a dozen causes we never signed up for, and started calling us bigots for saying sex is real. That isn't our movement anymore.

Neuralink deep dive
Full HUGE* If True episode on Neuralink and the future of brain computer interfaces I toured @neuralink and got a close up view of their new R1 surgical robot, to see the future they and @elonmusk are building and how it is already changing lives... 00:00 What if you put a chip in your brain? 01:02 What does a human brain feel like? 02:17 How does your brain work? 03:58 Can a brain computer interface read your thoughts? 05:19 How do you get a chip into your brain? 08:07 What’s inside Neuralink’s implant? 10:06 How do you build a brain implant? 11:07 How does robot do brain surgery? 12:20 What could you do with a brain chip? 15:05 How are brain computer interfaces already being used today? 16:07 How are brain chips huge if true?

AUSTIN MAN slams into a stopped minivan at 103 mph on Mother's Day, right in front of a cop, and kills a fire captain hours after his fifth son was born. DA Jose Garza's office asked him to pay a small fine. Marvin Taylor was on his way to pick up his four other boys so they could meet their new baby brother. He was sitting at a red light on Koenig Lane when a Dodge Durango doing 103 in a 45 zone slammed into him and threw his van 150 feet. He died pinned inside. The officer found the driver, Rodney Bremby, with bloodshot eyes and slurred speech and stench of alcohol. He was charged with intoxication manslaughter, which carries up to 20 years in prison. A judge revoked his bond twice while the case was pending, and both times he was back out within two weeks. On Monday he got 10 years of probation, community service, and $535 in fees. Five boys have lost their father, and the man who killed him just had to pay a small fine and promise not do it again before going back home.

Sweet. It's a 1 megawatt nuclear microreactor that fits in a shipping container. Gas-cooled, first by helium, then air. Runs for five years, then you ship it back to the factory, where they take care of the spent fuel and refuel it.
BREAKING: For the first time in American history, the Department of Energy has approved a commercial nuclear microreactor's safety analysis for full-power operations. LA-based Radiant secured the approval, with testing planned at Idaho National Laboratory.

Fun fact: the country with the most affordable groceries is the country with the most rocket launches and the most billionaires.
Why do billionaires build space rockets instead affordable community grocery stores?

My CN is making its rounds. I’m 2/2 today on CN soon to be 3/3 I believe and I will continue to debunk FUD when I see it. I will not stand by while companies spread misinformation attacking the companies I love. It will always be an uphill battle but it only takes me 5-10min to write the note. Well worth it imo.
Brutal community note for Edmunds. Just trash from them.

This is incredibly, fantastically generous. Elon has way more shares, so all the kids get them. Gwynne has fewer, so a smaller group of disadvantaged. Kids: keep these shares as long as you possibly can, and you’ll give your kids an inheritance head start.
Robert and I are thrilled that our gift of over 2 million shares of SpaceX stock will be distributed to children’s Trump accounts in December!   Our initial gift (shares transferring to escrow as we speak) will go to 11 to 17-year-olds who live in zip codes with median family income (MFI) of $57,000 or less, and to those who live in zip codes with too few residents for an MFI to be reported in the census. These families should receive a notice by Monday.    In a few weeks, an additional gift will be finalized for eligible 11 to 17-year-old children in military families serving overseas, children in foster care, and more children whose MFI is $90,000 or less living in counties near our home in the great state of Texas.   Thank you to the incredible team @SpaceX, @Treasury, @IRS, @DellFdn, @GreaterHorizons, @InvestAmerica24, and the legal firms of Morgan Lewis and Gibson Dunn for working over the past few months to make this happen.   We are deeply grateful for the groundbreaking work that Brad Gerstner @altcap and @MichaelDell have done for the long-term financial security for millions of kids.   God Bless America!

People ought to think more about who wrote the software that's running in their head (sigh). It probably wasn't them -- Elon Musk

People have this intuitive sense that people who create wealth are actually hoarding it from everyone else. That assumes the wealth existed beforehand. That assumes a kind of law of conservation of wealth, where wealth is never created or destroyed but just moved around. That isn’t how wealth works. Elon created something that didn’t exist before.
All I'm saying is that if you had a tribe of say 100 people and 5 of those people hoarded 95% of all the resources while half the tribe starved the rest of the tribe would eventually nationalize SpaceX

Nobody starves in America. Even the bottom 20% in the US consume more than the AVERAGE in almost every other country in the world (including "developed" countries). The median person in the poorest American states, those that serve as the butt of jokes about retardation caused by inbreeding, is richer than in any other country in the world And that is precisely b/c they did not nationalize great companies and did not eat the rich. The more billionaires you have, the richer you are. 👇 They are the most socially productive people in our society. The Nobel Prize-winning economist William Nordhaus estimated that technology producers capture only a small share of the social value they create—roughly 2%—with the rest going to consumers as surplus. That means that, for ex., Elon Musk has produced $50 trillion in total value for society!!! He did not hoard anything. He doesn't sit on top of a pile of food or even cash. He owns things he created, things that would not exist without him, b/c other people value what they can do for them. You cannot eat SpaceX, you cannot redistribute it; you can only destroy it. That's why envious communists like you, who want to destroy productive people, capital, wealth, are the ones who actually cause starvation everywhere they get their grip on power.

GM made a self driving system so dumb that it dragged a pedestrian down the street and then lied about it, getting their cars banned from the streets now they’re lecturing Tesla about how autonomous driving should work you can’t make this stuff up
General Motors says it will not adopt a vision-only approach to autonomous driving, saying that dropping radar is a "weird religious stance that ignores physics." "If you scale back to vision-only, physics suggests you’ll be in trouble in certain situations. Radar is so cheap that dropping it doesn’t make sense—dropping it is a weird religious stance that ignores physics," GM Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson said. GM says it plans to launch an autonomous driving feature for the highway by 2028. Full article: insideevs.com/news/813467/gm…

Elon Musk: "At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue." There's really nothing more I could add to that.
