My husband and I are honored and thrilled to participate in the Invest America program and gift a share of our SpaceX stock to a Trump Account for each of more than two million children across our great nation. Every American child under 18 can benefit from having a Trump Account, but our gift specifically goes to the Accounts of children (ages 11-17) that live in areas with lower average household incomes with a bit more emphasis for those that live near our central Texas home. We have been fortunate in our careers and hope this gift encourages the next generation to continue the journey of enabling humanity to live and fly amongst the stars. A huge thanks to all that worked to bring this incredible program to life.
Dear America,   Starting today, on the 250th birthday of our country, millions of children will now benefit from a new & powerful American birthright - a privately owned investment account from birth. Every child a shareholder in the great American economy! American capitalism is the greatest prosperity-creating engine the world has ever known. It has unlocked unprecedented abundance for our country and untold life-advancing innovation. From clean food & water to cars & planes to vaccines & cures to computers & phones.  Through depressions & world wars, through panics & pandemics, betting on America has been the best investment in human history.  But far too many hardworking families feel like they are on the outside looking in - like the American Dream has become out of reach.  The Invest America Act changes all that. Signed into law by President Trump it establishes the Trump Accounts - launching today - making every child a shareholder from birth.  Every account seeded with $1000 in America's best companies - making every child a direct participant in our stock markets & American capitalism.   But it doesn’t stop there.  Representing the best of our civic traditions, an unprecedented outpouring of additional private  contributions into these accounts is already underway. Billions of dollars have been committed by philanthropists & corporations to tens of millions of children across the country. A new form of massive, direct philanthropy & corporate benefits directly to America’s kids is just getting started. From adopting all the kids of a school or organization to a city or state.  America is the most giving country in the history of the world - and Trump Accounts provide a new open source platform to enable anybody to contribute to anybody.   Trillions of dollars will compound in these accounts over the next 20 years.    But this is about more than just figures on an account statement. By investing in the next generation, our country is providing tangible opportunities to all future generations of Americans: an education, a first home, the ability to start a business, and the foundation for a lifetime of savings. Trump Accounts provide hope to those feeling hopeless - unlocking unlimited human potential. Trump Accounts do this through a massive public - private partnership that empower the individual not the state.  They double down on free market capitalist democracy by empowering the individual rather than growing dependency on government.  Aligning citizens with capitalism rather than pitting them against it.  Perhaps of equal importance, let us not lose sight of the fact that this is a movement that unites our country. Despite the many issues that divide us, this one big idea brings everyone together. From the most conservative to the most progressive leaders, we have found people of goodwill willing to step up and do the right thing to help the next generation.  Trump Accounts represent the very best of our democracy and the American promise issued two hundred and fifty years ago today. I am grateful to all those who have partnered with us to get this far and we dedicate our tireless efforts to make certain that the Invest America Act achieves its maximum potential.  Let us advance into the future with a renewed sense of confidence, optimism and restored faith in the American Dream for EVERY American.    Happy 250th Birthday, America!

Great that folks are attempting to build a bottom-up model of total token revenue… and put it against the AI build-out … but these are wildly moving targets The thing that makes me a bit nervous/inspired is that many of these tokenmaxxing customers are experimenting with heavily discounted tokens Real work and value is happening, but a lot of experimentation — who can even guess the percentage? We’ve never seen a technology embraced this rapidly or at this scale… feels like it’s manifest destiny, with a small chance of a premature head fake
The GenAI economy has generated $110 billion in sales over the past 12 months. It is growing fast. On an annualized basis, the revenue run rate exceeds $175 billion. These numbers took us several months to construct, and as far as we know, it’s the first bottom-up, deduplicated measure of consumer and enterprise AI spending across the full stack. We are releasing this research today in our first The State of the AI Economy report. intelligence.exponentialview…

Wishing everyone in this great nation of immigrants and dreamers a happy Independence Day. There is so much to celebrate in our 250 years - and so much work left to do in our pursuit of a more perfect union. Here’s to the next 250.

The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us; but he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. His attack is psychological… and powerful. — WPB, 1971
Who loves America more than those who have sacrificed to make it free? Happy Fourth of July.

America is so lucky they made the journey Lisa! 🇺🇸 🫡
As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, I’m thankful for all the opportunities this country has made possible for my family and so many others. My parents came to the US as students with big dreams and the hope of building a better life for us. It’s been an amazing journey. Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸

You’re an amazing American Sundar and we are so lucky that you chose to immigrate to America Sundar. 🫡 America was built for immigrants, by immigrants — and what an amazing group we have in the tech industry from @DavidSacks to @chamath to @elonmusk Thanks to @realDonaldTrump for being a relentless supporter of high-skilled immigration. Let’s recruit more @POTUS@StephenM this would be the perfect second act for you focus on!
Love this re-imagining of America’s founding using Docs, Gmail, Calendar and more from @GoogleWorkspace. Really puts the history in version history :)

1. Stop building homes — create an unnecessary boomer bump (bonus: keep real estate taxes for homes purchased decades ago unfairly low) 2. Brainwash kids that college degrees always pay off — raise the price by 5-10x over two generations 3. Freeze the minimum wage for decades 4. Let the teachers unions control primary education for their own benefit while test scores plummet 5. Stack the tax system to benefit the rich 6. Blame the youth for being lazy 🙄 ! SCENE! 🎬
Watters: Some of these kids have never had real jobs and are complaining things are expensive. Things are expensive when you don't have a real job. Do you think that's getting traction? Complaining? Leavitt: Unfortunately I do because this generation, my generation, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths. Watters: Is it laziness? Leavitt: A little bit. Watters: If they misbehave, make them join the army. Leavitt: Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.

I used Fable 5 to port Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour to the iPhone and iPad! This is the actual 2003 engine compiled for ARM64 natively, no emulator. Campaign, skirmish, Generals Challenge all work with touch controls built for an RTS. Open sourcing it all below!

Their imaginary wives and girlfriends must be so proud!
A group of hundreds of masked white supremacists marched in D.C. today carrying American and Confederate flags while chanting, “Reclaim America!” A streamer with the group described it as a “total Aryan victory.” Will Trump condemn this display of hate in our nation’s capital on July 4th? x.com/mmillerwtop/status/207…
