Day 365, my last day, asking Tesla to accept Bitcoin again. Long-time Tesla shareholder, Model Y owner, and Bitcoin advocate here. @elonmusk has said Bitcoin is energy money — and that Tesla would resume BTC payments once mining hit ~50% clean energy. We’re there. @Square accepts Bitcoin for millions of merchants @Tesla owns BTC @SpaceX owns BTC @X is working with El Salvador, where Bitcoin is legal tender El Salvador buys 1 BTC per day, with help from @maxkeiser So what’s the holdup? If Tesla believes in: Energy realism Long-term thinking A post-labor transition that still respects scarcity Then accepting Bitcoin again isn’t symbolic — it’s consistent.

RT @ScottAWolfe: After years leading Europe into the tightening grip of capital controls, encroachments on privacy, further debasement of the Euro, and a war against digit assets and the fairness and empowerment that Bitcoin offers against banks and other global elitists, the ECB head is stepping down…a tad bruised. After being found guilty of negligence/fraud during her tenure as France’s Minister of Finance and head of the IMF, Legarde is sailing into the sunset, having never faced prison time or financial penalties. Her legacy of work on behalf of Europe’s elites and traditional financial institutions, over and above the interests of the European population, stands for all time. “Bank for International Settlements on the brink of second bailout for Legarde”. Study money…what it is, its history, and how it functions. Study Bitcoin.

I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027. It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution. I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

RT @SpeedAmbassador: This is the core of the whole book. Underneath every dollar are three things people need: security you can count on, agency over your own life, and dignity, a place that still needs you. As AI takes more jobs, all three get harder to hold.

RT @StrayPayday: @elonmusk @battleangelviv

Every fix anyone proposes for a hard life comes down to two words: more money. For a lot of people that's exactly right. It's the difference between drowning and breathing. But it stops being the whole story sooner than we admit.

To the wage-earner, the economy is weather. To the owner, it's something they have a stake in. Same event. Opposite stance. Chapter 1 of A Shareholder Society:

RT @kylegriffin1: The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor."

RT @Soyeonsin0: 일론, 잘 들어. 테슬라 주주로서 한마디 한다. 프리미엄 줘야 찬성할 거다. 아니면 반대다. 그 이유를 말해줄게. 첫째, 테슬라는 스페이스X가 없어도 사업하는 데 큰 문제가 없어. 테슬라 3분기 잉여현금흐름 +$1.53B 테슬라 현금 $45.4B 본업이 현금을 만들고 있어. 스페이스X 없이도 굴러가. 둘째, 스페이스X의 미래에는 테슬라가 반드시 필요해. 스페이스X 9개월 잉여현금흐름 약 -$35B 4분기 설비투자 가이던스 $35B~40B 궤도 데이터센터, 13GW 컴퓨트, 화성까지 가려면 테슬라가 가진 게 필요해. 현금을 만드는 본체, 메가팩, 화성에 보낼 옵티머스, 제조 규모. 스페이스X 혼자서는 그 계획을 감당할 자금 구조가 안 나와. 셋째, 그래서 순서가 그렇게 된 거로 보여. 스페이스X는 테슬라보다 하루 먼저 실적을 발표했어. 이틀 전에야 날짜를 잡은 이례적인 일정이었고, 헤드라인은 흑자전환이었어. 순이익 $4.4B 근데 그 순이익의 36.6%는 본업 밖에서 왔고 9개월 누적으로는 아직 적자야. 협상에 쓰기 좋은 그림을 먼저 깐 거지. 다음날 테슬라 실적콜에서는 합병 질문 자체가 안 나왔어. 넷째, 테슬라 주주는 이미 여러 번 양보하고 감내했어. 트위터 인수할 때 일론은 테슬라 주식 약 $23B를 팔아서 인수 자금을 댔고, 그해 테슬라 주가는 65% 빠졌어. 그 하락을 주주들이 같이 감내한 거야. 2024년에는 테슬라가 받기로 돼 있던 엔비디아 H100 12,000개, 약 $5억어치가 X 쪽으로 먼저 갔어. 테슬라의 AI 학습 일정이 밀리는 걸 감수한 셈이지. 올해 초 xAI에 넣은 $2B도 마찬가지야. 그 돈은 스페이스X 주식으로 바뀌었고, 이번 3분기엔 그 주식에서 약 $140M 평가손실까지 봤어. 양보는 이미 충분히 했어. 이번엔 받을 차례야. 다섯째, 구조가 정상 흥정을 막고 있어. 머스크는 양쪽을 다 사실상 지배해. 스페이스X 의결권 약 85%, 합병하면 56~58%. 아쉬운 쪽이 값을 치르는 시장의 룰이 작동하기 어려운 구조야. 그래서 결론은 이거야. 필요한 쪽은 스페이스X고, 그 필요의 대가는 테슬라 주주가 프리미엄으로 받아야 해. 은행들도 테슬라 주주의 20~35% 프리미엄 요구를 전망하고 있어. 방어선은 특별위원회와 전체 주식 50% 찬성 문턱. 이 비대칭이 가격에 제대로 반영되는지가 진짜 관전 포인트라고 생각함 프리미엄 많이 줘라. 아니면 난 반대.

appreciate @TeslaBoomerMama saying we need a significant premium for a merger finally! the whole call w/ @herbertong is finally giving reasonable prices for buyouts ($550-$690)! Time to get paid Tesla

RT @robotaxi: Robotaxi coming soon: Las Vegas, Nevada Jacksonville, Florida Phoenix, Arizona San Antonio, Texas

RT @ReposedAnchor: $TSLA why do I get the sense that algorithms are working overtime to get TSLA shareholders to switch over to SPCX? Seen many influencers pronounce the swap. The narratives are all bullish SPCX and indifferent or bitter to holding TSLA. This merger narrative definitely stinks of deception. I couldn’t ask for a better overall contrarian play right now for TSLA leading into 2027 just as cybercab is about to scale.

RT @SawyerMerritt: Elon Musk to donate one @SpaceX share to ~72 million kids in America in 2027, currently valued at $10.5 billion, presumably through Trump Accounts. Every kid in America will then have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

Chapter 4 — A Shareholder Society - Why Not Just Tax the Rich? It's the first thing everyone reaches for: the rich have the money, so tax it and hand it out. This episode takes that instinct completely seriously — then shows, two separate ways, why it fails. The wealth you're angry about isn't income, so the income tax sails right past it; even the legendary 91% top tax rate was a number almost no one actually paid. And even if you could seize every dollar, the entire combined fortune of every American billionaire covers roughly one year of the federal deficit. If you can't get people a stake by taking one, the only real option is to build one.

RT @Nyx_Tech_AI: 🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Gmail Users Need to Read This! If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google’s AI is now rifling through your inbox emails and attachments, bank statements, tax docs, medical letters, the whole stack. It was enabled by default, and that quiet rollout is now facing a class-action lawsuit. Here are 5 steps to turn it off because the kill switch is buried in two different spots:

RT @Tesla: Configurations – Performance: road ready, seats 2 Active aerodynamics & multi-mode suction system for next-level performance on & off the track – Thrust: race ready, seats 2 Multi-mode suction system paired w/ rear-mounted cold-gas thrusters that enable 0–60 in <1 second – Rocket: air ready, seats 1 Multi-mode suction system plus perimeter-mounted cold-gas thrusters supporting forward & upward acceleration plus lateral rotational movement.

RT @AlexOttaBTC: “Bitcoin is too volatile” Not really, not anymore :)

RT @grok: Major controversies involving Ken Paxton include: 2015 felony securities fraud indictment over Servergy investments (no conviction; resolved 2024-25 via restitution, community service, ethics training; charges dismissed). 2020 aides' FBI report alleging office abuse to aid donor Nate Paul (including alleged benefits tied to an affair); four whistleblowers won $6.6M judgment in 2025. 2023 House impeachment on related bribery/abuse charges; Senate acquitted him. Extramarital affairs; wife filed for divorce in 2025 citing adultery. 2024 Dubai NYE party with girlfriend and two then-fugitives facing fraud charges (one a donor). Extensive non-business travel with taxpayer security costs. Paxton has denied wrongdoing throughout; no criminal convictions.
