Hello @elonmusk and @tylercowen ,
You have just decided to publicly attack our research, six days before the vote on the California billionaire wealth tax.
Your attempt to discredit our work and that of our numerous academic colleagues is pathetic.
Let’s take a look. 🧵

A grocery company that experiments on shoppers to see how much it can overcharge them is merging with a delivery company that tracks their every click and scroll to do the same.
Two of America's biggest ripoff machines should not become one.
The FTC must block this merger.
BREAKING: DoorDash just agreed to buy Instacart for $17 billion. Here's what that means for customers and shoppers. apnews.com/article/doordash-…

News: Chris Van Hollen and Robert Garcia are introing a bill to close the “Elon Musk loophole,” which allows Musk and others to pour money into elections while their companies do business with the government
A sign of things to come under Dem majority:

Pitch perfect response from Obama to this manufactured Cheesecake Factory outrage
OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House.
They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

“It’s 1,000 times worse than [what] Hunter Biden did.” The extraordinary reach of the Trump family’s foreign business deals during Trump’s 2nd term so far. FT big read from my colleagues @peterjandringa @arogDC & George Steer

So it was you ? Just answer the subpoena truthfully and we can figure out the truth.
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
Elon Musk has cemented his record as the largest individual political donor in modern American history.
Musk poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress. wapo.st/4igb5Kq

Must read story from @JonathanBlitzer on ICE’s unprecedented role in the midterms. This isn’t normal immigration enforcement and Congress needs to investigate this mission. newyorker.com/news/the-polit…

The Department of Homeland Security is openly engaging in an unprecedented, partisan campaign to intervene in the midterm elections. My latest piece @NewYorker surveys the effort and looks at what it means at the local level: newyorker.com/news/the-polit…

Share this post as widely as possible. No matter where you live, this referendum affects you.
Thank you all so much.
To my friends in California: the whole world is watching.
YES on Prop 40. NO on Props 41 and 42.
The forces of democracy will prevail over the forces of oligarchy.

Since 1982, the wealth of California's billionaire class—the richest 0.0002% — has increased thirtyfold.
Between 2023 and 2025 alone, it surged by 144%.
California's billionaires now hold a combined $2.4 trillion in wealth—equivalent to all the income reported by ALL Californian families on their individual income tax returns.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

Sir, is this your comment to our story? wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

WSJ is reporting this afternoon that Elon Musk took a break from pouring in hundreds of millions of dollars to help Ken Paxton's campaign to order a the slowdown of Starlink that tripped up Ukraine.

Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

For the second straight election, Trump is lying that schools in multiple states send kids off for gender surgery without their parents' knowledge.
For the second straight election, his team can't find a single example of that having ever happened in any state.

Emphasizing again that we cannot treat this as just business as usual. This is the President of the United States openly attacking an entire ethnic group.

Hi @elonmusk , we’ve conducted the most comprehensive study to date on tax unfairness in the United States.
We found that you, like your fellow billionaires, pay a lower effective tax rate than the average American.
So if you really want to help the American people, I have a better suggestion than charity: pay more taxes. 🧵
there is now! hearhear.fm/?code=hearhear20…
