SpaceX is now down 31% from its post-IPO high. And it's no suprise. IPOs are (generally) not great investments. Median Year 1 peak-to-trough drawdown: 54%. 🔥 📉 *Lyft: -84% *Uber: -70% *Robinhood: -92% People ignored the data. Not because they're stupid. Because feelings beat facts. Every time. OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs are coming. Watch the movie again.

@Oddernod You're right. I got that wrong. The letter speaks for itself. Pixar approached Taylor. She didn't walk it to anyone. I appreciate the correction. Facts matter more than a good story.
@briansooy Well... there is that 🏴☠️
KFC can't rebrand its way out of a category design problem. Chick-fil-A invented the chicken sandwich category in 1964. KFC's response in 2026? Boba and a new logo. Chick-fil-A has fewer locations. One less day open per week. 4x the revenue per store. They didn't out-chicken KFC. They out-category-designed them. Different beats better. Every single time.

Seattle city council wanted to help "exploited" gig workers. So they forced delivery apps to pay drivers MORE. "I wouldn’t assume that prices are going to go up," said one politician. But prices DID go up. @judgeglock of @ManhattanInst explains how regulation backfired:
@CAgovernor And 288,600 people left California in 2025.
@RogerLMartin God bless Al Gore.... and in all seriousness. It is facinating that the Clinton/Gore admin was very pro-entrepreneur, pro-tech, pro-growth. Today. The same party want to either unhook US AI, or take it over🤔
The Nasdaq dropped 2.1% today. And the donkeys are howling. Here's the through line nobody should lose sight of. Before November 30, 2022 the total worldwide demand for generative AI was zero. Today it's the fastest growing category in the history of technology. 📈Stocks go up. 📉Stocks go down. Categories that change the world don't go away. The internet had a 78% crash in 2000. ✔️Google survived. ✔️Amazon survived. ✔️Microsoft survived. ✔️The category thrived. AI is the biggest breakthrough new category in human history. That doesn't change because Nvidia dropped today. Legendary entrepreneurs don't watch the ticker. They build different futures. While the donkeys bark. 🏴☠️
@GavinNewsom Invite @JDVance on your podcast tough guy.
@SenWarren If Elon Musk paid more in tax. You'd have more money for grift, waste and fraud.
@pmarca It's nice that the podcast of a mentally handicapped person is being shared.
@BethanyForTruth There are people who don't hate that there are poor people. They hate are successful people. (That are not them.)
10 USAID Expenditures That Got Axed 1) $70,000 for DEI musical in Ireland. 2) $2.5m for electric vehicles in Vietnam. 3) $6m for tourism development in Egypt. 4) $43.3m to build an "inclusive workforce" in Egypt. 5) $26.3m for higher education in Egypt. 6)$17.3m for diversity in Burma. 7) $11m for Middle Eastern Sesame Street in Iraq. 8) $9m in humanitarian aid was stolen by Al-Qaeda 9) $35.9m for "positive youth experience" in Gaza and $24m for "resilient livelihoods" in Gaza. 10) $550m bribery scheme involving 14 prime contracts.
@RogerLMartin Never forget. The assholes who criticize your non-obvious (legendary) idea. Will one day take credit for it on the internet. 🏴☠️

This is the real divide. There are people who don't hate that there are poor people. They hate that there are successful people.
Daniel just explained why every utopia fails. It's not a logic problem. It's a human nature problem. Socialism asks people to optimize for the collective. Humans are wired to optimize for their kids. Capitalism doesn't fight that wiring. It harnesses it. The restaurant owner doesn't feed the village because he loves the village. He feeds the village because he loves his kids. Either way the village eats. That's not cynicism. That's the only system in human history that's actually delivered the outcome socialism only promises. Working with human nature beats fighting it. Every single time.
@MarioNawfal @elonmusk There are people who don't hate that there are poor people. They hate that there are successful people.
