🇺🇸 TESLA OFFERS $60-A-DAY CAR RENTALS IN MICHIGAN: NO DEALERS, NO MIDDLEMEN

Tesla is officially launching its rental program in Michigan...yes, in the home turf of the old-school auto industry.

China just turned the night sky into a masterpiece of precision and intelligence. 🌌

What struck me most about this is how seamlessly innovation turns into art.

A drone show in Chongqing just broke the Guinness World Record with 11,787 synchronized drones, creating breathtaking… pic.twitter.com/wTWvJyyoJJ

As you start today with all the motivation in the world, remember this: it won’t last.

Build a routine. Do it no matter what. When you really can’t, don’t quit or beat yourself up, just do it the next day. Show up, over and over.

It is the only thing that works. https://t.co/D7PPDYPRgz

the @ManusAI acquisition is making the rounds on twitter. i’ve been a user for months, so a few takes:

- the fact that so many sf tech bros are surprised and never heard of @ManusAI by this is itself a tell. manus has had real presence in asia for a while - the fact that things… https://t.co/0aBzt7Ug9X

I try not to be an asshole. This is important. But I’ve learned I can’t judge my success based on whether others think I’m an asshole. Nothing big or challenging gets done without holding people to a standard many will find unreasonable.

People I know, with a collective net worth of $500B, scrambled and left California for good yesterday.

They took no risk because of the proposed asset seizure tax - introduced as a “Billionaire Tax”.

Without these people, the California budget deficit will only get bigger.…

Turning off payments and forcing verification before taxpayer money flows out the door is one of the most important steps we can take to end the fraud in Minnesota. But there will be many more to come.

Great job to @HHS_Jim and @SecKennedy. https://t.co/OwDf3JeloS

Most people have the wrong default assumption for what happens with the need for technical skills in a world of AI agents. The default view is that AI makes most of the skills obsolete.

When in fact, the leverage just went up massively on being good at your particular craft,…

More taxation WILL NOT FIX HEALTHCARE as you can see below.

We need to address the incentives written into Obamacare - specifically that the margins of healthcare companies are capped at 15% and the unwinding of the M&A bonanza that created mega corps in healthcare.

While it… https://t.co/5cmGLRZeEM

I don’t agree with Ro Khanna on tax policy but he’s undeniably correct that California taxpayers deserve a full and complete accounting of the waste and fraud in Sacramento. So it’s telling that Gavin Newsom’s communications director attacked the ultra-progressive Khanna for… https://t.co/0VSvnf9atF

my 2026 AI predictions:

1) AI adoption explodes. 94% of businesses say they want it, less than 30% have implemented.

2) service providers that can't prove ROI die. no one pays for "management" anymore.

3) mid-market becomes the biggest AI buyer. enterprises move slow. the…

If we eliminated all fraud against the govt, we could cover the same govt spending while eliminating income taxes for everyone making less than $650K.

Nearly all of us have been paying income taxes exclusively to pay for fraud.

It doesn’t have to be this way. https://t.co/zEqMi6UjUe
