When your world view is so skewed that you consider journalists who cover businesses "lefty."

Balaji and I have been friends for 20 years and we will always be on the same side against communists and lefty journalists (but I repeat myself).

Obama just said what everyone’s thinking but too many are afraid to admit: If he had done even a fraction of what Trump’s doing—blacklisting press, punishing dissent, targeting student protestors—the outrage would’ve been deafening. But now? Silence. Because when the Constitution gets torched by someone in your tribe, suddenly principles are optional. This isn’t about policy anymore—it’s about power unchecked and hypocrisy on full display.

If you thought 'you are the product' with Google ads, with x.com you are now like a human battery in the Matrix.

@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt). Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale. X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth. xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress. I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

For the cult, Trump isn’t just a politician; he’s a grievance avatar, a symbol of their resentment. No scandal, failure, or hypocrisy will change that. It’s not about facts or policy failures—it’s about identity. The only thing that could break the spell? A total electoral collapse so undeniable that Republicans finally see him as a liability, not an asset. Until then, they’ll keep making excuses.

Amen all the way.
I love Obama but his former staffers are some of the most egotistical delusional people in politics. I am done with that era it’s time to move on.

In case it matters to anyone, I'm pretty much no longer posting here. I'm on Bluesky: @roberthof.bsky.social as well as Threads at @robhof, but now that Zuck has gone full MAGA, I'm looking at skipping that too.

Amen. Shocking how few pundits realize that when you drop the candidate people voted for in the primary, they feel less inclined to vote again. Dem elites freaked and ruined the country for years to come. Idiots.
The month long Democratic freakout drove down his poll numbers. Had we simply just not freaked out, voters wouldn’t have freaked out. Plus the base didn’t want him to drop out

Elon will do what he wants and Trump will do what he wants. Neither has anything to do with benefiting anyone but themselves.
My favorite part of @dealbook today. Both SamA & Bezos were probed if they feared Elon abusing relationship with president elect to benefit his competitive position. BOTH of them said they didn’t think that’s how Elon rolls. Independently both had same POV. Despite rivalry.
