I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Elon Musk has a favorite phrase when making bold promises: “Next year.”

From Full Self Driving and Hyperloop to robotaxis and literal robot armies, we traced his timeline of big talk and missed marks—because in Elon’s world, hype usually outruns reality.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

There are two problem-solving approaches:

1) identify a problem that you want to solve, then find a method that will solve it
or
2) pick a method you want to use, and go hunting for problems.

The second way is the stupid way, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it's the default method in tech.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech.

Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from:

- Being able to afford groceries
- Much of their retirement savings
- Any hope of buying a home

As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
