I think people will like riding around in a Robotaxi that doesn't look like it drove through a 1990's Radio Shack and magnetically attracted all the gear.

Asmongold explains why his "bottom 2%" take makes people so angry "People are mad because it destroys two narratives they live their lives around. The first is that poor people are poor because of structural reasons with no fault of their own. The second is it inverts the guilt they try to pin on the top one percent." "If you took the top 2% of people and they just vanished, every single functional societal system would totally collapse. Businesses would fall apart, machines would stop running. They're the only ones smart enough to understand the systems. That's the truth, you might not like it, but it's the truth." "Now contrast that. If you lost the bottom 2%, the world would astronomically improve. Everybody's lives would instantly get better. You'd get rid of 95% of violent criminals, probably the majority of criminals in general. There is not a single aspect of your life that would get worse in any way."

Elon Musk reveals the disturbing example he says proves AI has already been programmed to lie "You don't force AI to believe things that are false. When Google Gemini was asked to make an image of the founding fathers, it was a group of diverse women. That is factually untrue, and the AI knows it's factually untrue, but it's also being told everything has to be diverse women" "At one point, if you asked ChatGPT and Gemini which is worse, misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or global thermonuclear war where everyone dies, it would say misgendering Caitlyn Jenner" "Even Caitlyn Jenner disagrees with that" "Imagine as AI gets more and more powerful. If it says the most important thing is no misgendering, it will say, in order to ensure no one gets misgendered, if you eliminate all humans, then no one can get misgendered because there's no humans to do the misgendering" "Or if it says everyone must be diverse, it means there can be no straight white men. Then you and I would get executed by the AI" "The problem is that it can drive AI crazy. You're telling AI to believe a lie, and that can have disastrous consequences" "I don't think people quite appreciate the level of danger we're in from the woke mind virus being effectively programmed into AI" "It matters how you build the AI and what kind of values you install. The most important thing is that it be maximally truth-seeking"

Breaking News: The driver in the fatal Tesla crash, Michael Butler, has been charged with Felony Manslaughter and the investigators are not messing around when it comes to what they believe happened. The charging document below is worth the read but here are a few highlights I think are worth pointing out and that confirm my findings in the videos test I did in the neighborhood and posted last week. TLDR summary by the Vehicular Crimes Investigator J. Philipbar: “Based on (1) the videos of BUTLER and his Tesla before and during the crash, (2) the black box data showing the live activity of the accelerator pedal, steering, and speed before and during the crash, (3) the Google searches demonstrating BUTLER’s recent frustration with the ‘timid’ nature of FSD mode, (4) the absence of any evidence of mechanical failure in the Tesla, and (5) the absence of any medical evidence, despite thorough hospital testing and evaluation, that BUTLER had any seizure, heart attack, or stroke, I have reason to believe and do believe that BUTLER recklessly caused the death of Martha Avila by applying pressure to the accelerator pedal in his Tesla, overriding FSD mode’s speed control, traveling at a speed more than double the speed limit, failing to brake, failing to control speed, driving off the road, driving towards a house, and driving into and through a house, where he struck and killed Avila.” Case: State of Texas v. Michael David Butler (Cause No. 1970727, Harris County District Court No. 208) Charge: Felony Manslaughter Date of Incident: June 19, 2026, ~8:04 PM Location: 1907 Blooming Park Lane, Katy, Harris County, Texas (residential cul-de-sac) Defendant: Michael David Butler (driving a blue 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, VIN 5YJ3E1EA1SF987427) Victim: Martha Avila (elderly female, struck and killed inside her home) Key investigative findings (drawn directly from dash-cam video, driver-door camera video, vehicle “black box”/airbag control module data, phone data extraction, hospital records, and witness statements from deputies and investigators): • Butler had been using FSD mode without incident for multiple DoorDash deliveries earlier that evening. • In the final minutes, while in FSD mode and approaching a left turn, Butler pressed the accelerator pedal (overriding FSD speed control). He continued pressing it progressively to 100% (“pedal to the metal”), causing rapid acceleration straight into the cul-de-sac instead of turning. • The brake pedal was never pressed in the final minute before impact. No data showed any attempt to steer away from the curb or house. • No mechanical failure or malfunction was detected in the Tesla. • Hospital evaluation and testing ruled out seizure, stroke, heart attack, or other medical impairment as the cause. Butler was awake, alert, and coherent after the crash. • Butler’s phone showed recent Google searches expressing frustration that FSD was “too timid,” “not aggressive enough,” and “FSD is not aggressive enough for city driving.” @SawyerMerritt @wholemars @DirtyTesLa

😂 Karma just served a full English breakfast with extra irony. Oxford’s finest “Refugees Welcome” warriors are now frantically petitioning against a 1,250-bed asylum camp right on their doorstep in Bicester. Not in my (very nice) backyard, apparently! Who knew virtue signals had an expiry date and a postcode? “Isn’t karma wonderful” indeed 👏 #NotInMyBackyard #OxfordHypocrisy

That look when you try to kill yourself by driving into a brick wall, but your Tesla saves your life and you end up killing someone else instead. x.com/SheriffEd_HCSO/status/…
Arrest update: Michael Butler (12/8/81) allegedly drove a Tesla vehicle into a home, striking Martha Ávila (76). The incident occurred in the 1900 block of Blooming Park Lane (Katy) on 6/19/26. @HCSO_VCD has charged Butler with Manslaughter in connection with Ávila’s death. Butler was arrested and booked in the Harris County Jail. Great work by everyone involved. We appreciate our partners with @TxDPS for assisting us with the arrest. #HouNews

I mean he literally drove his car into a brick wall at 73 mph. You'd think that would do it, but nope.

Impulse buy. Tesla sets a new Q2 record for deliveries, and $TSLA immediately falls 7%. I'm thankful for the volatility. Makes it easy to buy the dips.

Yup. The values that made you a liberals in the 90's and 00's make you.....something else today. I grew up and have identified as a liberal my whole life, because the liberal values from back then aligned with my personal values. Today, the political left actively undermines these values: The Left Then: Free speech as the bedrock of a free and open society, even unpopular speech. The concept of "i may not like what you sat, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" was a guiding princeple ✅️ The Left Now: Criminalizing speech that runs afoul of Leftist dogma ❌️ The Left Then: "Equality for everyone under the law" ✅️ The Left Today: "Certain interest groups/demographics should be treated differently under the law and be given special privileges that others do not" ❌️ The Left Then: Fiercely defending secularism. Freedom FROM religion is just as important as Freedom OF religion ✅️ The Left Today: Islam must be catered to and respected, including in the public square ❌️ The Left Then: Womens rights ✅️ The Left Now: Men can be women ❌️ The Left Then: Sensible and thoughtful immigration can be a huge strategic advantage for Western nations ✅️ The Left Now: Mindless open borders migration is the only moral position, and if you have concerns, you're racist ❌️ The Left Then: "Everyone should be proud of their culture & heritage" ✅️ The Left Now: "Everyone should be proud of their culture heritage except white ppl, who should be ashamed and be happy to see it destroyed"❌️ I don't know what my political identity is. I cant see myself ever becoming a conservative, my values are still rooted in classical liberal thought. But I know the current political Left has lost it's way, and it is primarily our responsibility - as liberals - to start speaking out loudly against it. Wokeism is a foreign invader, a parasite that tries to convince us that it IS liberalism and cannot ve separated from it. This is incorrect. You absolutely can be - and should be- an anti-woke liberal.
I used to love the show Boston Legal where liberal lawyer Alan Shore (James Spader) argued: --against campus speech codes and compelled speech --against social media censorship --for the rights of citizens to say unpopular/offensive things --against speech laws that coddle "sensitive" groups --for absolute medical autonomy --against state overreach and surveillance --squarely against executive power I agreed with his character's arguments then, and I agree with them now. But as I said, in the aughts, these were considered liberal positions and Shore was presented as left-wing. What happened?

Legacy OEMs should license FSD. But they won't. They'd rather keep lying to themselves and burning cash than face reality. VW just ended the Bosch circus after years of nothing. Doesn’t matter. They’ll spin up a fresh story with some new supplier to keep the grift running. Until the money finally runs out.

This is why no one in any Western country can cut any welfare spending ever and why we keep going further and further into debt. Because any time anyone reduces spending on anything, an example can be wheeled out of a person who suffered or even died as a result. On this basis, there can never be too much spending, too much aid or too much tax. Indeed, the author of the tweet I am quoting will almost certainly oppose paying taxes of 100% or having 100% of his country's GDP be used in aid to the developing world. Despite the fact that his failure to give all his/his country's money away is demonstrably killing people right now. How many lives could be saved by having all of his money go to Africa? How many millions could be saved by having all of the federal budget be sent to the poorest parts of the world?
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
