Today, we’re starting to roll out end-to-end encryption for RCS messaging between Android and iPhone users!

Thrilled to support the education GOAT as he reinvents education (again).

Why would you host a conference anywhere but Miami? This is my view right now from the @AIEMiami conference 🏝️☀️

Who says philosophy majors are wasting their time? Long live liberal arts degrees!

Before: move to SF. have an idea. look for a tech cofounder. build a deck in the meantime. Months pass... After: codex/claude in one window, X in the other. Build demo. Make a video of the demo. Announce it online, make it go viral. Cofounders/customers/investors come to you...

What is one thing I changed my mind on? GUNS Partially thanks to @PalmerLuckey Arm up. Protect yourself and your family. We are at war with people who hate America and will die to prove it.

Biscayne Boulevard with more shade trees and a tram. A tram from downtown Miami to the Design District could work in tandem with the metromover to take hundreds of cars off the road. Make Transit Great Again. #Miami #transit #urbanism #tradition #walkability #MAHA

For decades, America has been sold out to the lowest bidder. The middle class declined, upward mobility stalled, and the American Dream slipped farther out of reach for millions. We now have a generational opportunity to right those wrongs and restore faith in America.

i love america its founding fathers were shockingly remarkable people intelligence, honor, bravery, foresight read their work and understand what they wanted for you you owe it to them to be someone they would be proud of

A few thoughts on immigration: 1. We've learned in aviation that in-the-moment reporting on major incidents often lacks context and gets a lot wrong. It takes time and proper investigation for all the facts to come out. It's important not to jump to conclusions that fit our preferred narrative. 2. America is a nation of immigrants. Creating a free country that welcomes others is one of the greatest culture-building "hacks" of all time—as self-starting people from around the world literally jump over walls to come to the land of opportunity. Many of America's greatest creators and innovators weren't born here. Unfortunately, we've muddled the story by making America the land of handouts. Commonsense policy ends welfare and all other handouts for immigrants, so people come here to support themselves in the land of opportunity, not to mooch. Obviously, also we need to make sure only citizens are voting. Voter ID can be simple and commonsense, so it's easy for citizens to vote and hard for non-citizens. 3. Once we've fixed the incentives for coming to America, there are enormous benefits to opening the country to people of all skill levels coming here for good reasons—to be productive, to be free, to build their own lives. The bar for coming here to work should be low; the bar for citizenship should be high. 4. Law enforcement at all levels should have bodycams. We should have zero tolerance for criminal behavior and zero tolerance for officers who abuse their position. Having good records will make it easier to sort out situations objectively—and generally promote good behavior by all involved.

I feel like I am watching the Democratic Party implode. The Zohran/AOC coalition is arguing for policies that have been proven disastrous again and again. Perhaps Mamdani should have studied history instead of "Africana Studies." Meanwhile, normie Dems are horrified and shifting Right. What happens from here...? Maybe this is just for the best, so the Conservatives can have a shot at turning our nation around over the next 10-20 yrs? I'm curious how people are thinking about it - especially Moderates. I consider myself a Moderate - but definitely Right-leaning. Have historically believed we need two strong parties... But then part of me thinks - let the DNC burn. They abandoned public safety, competence, and meritocracy. Maybe Mamdani is what we need as a nation - to watch NYC go into a tailspin - and let the rest of the country watch in horror, and then vote accordingly. Curious for your thoughts.

I read your post. It claims that the controversy surrounding Anthropic is about AI safety research. This is not true; in fact, it’s misdirection. The real issue is not research but rather Anthropic’s agenda to backdoor Woke AI and other AI regulations through Blue states like California. This is not surprising since Anthropic hired the Biden AI team, which gave us Biden’s Woke AI executive order and the Biden Diffusion Rule. Since President Trump rescinded these biased and burdensome regulations, Anthropic has shifted its efforts to the state level. It has also fashioned itself into a Resistance organization, opposing President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and export policy. It’s likely not a coincidence that the biggest Democrat mega-donors in tech — namely you, Reed Hastings and Dustin Moskovitz — are closely associated with this company. As I’ve said before, it’s a free country. Anthropic is welcome to oppose the administration as much as it wants. But let’s not pretend this is about AI safety research.

The leading funder of lawfare and dirty tricks against President Trump wants you to know that “Anthropic is one of the good guys.” Thanks for clarifying that. All we needed to know.

Translation: Anthropic are politically aligned with me, and in my distorted world model we're the good guys and everyone else is bad

Alhamdulillah: all living Israeli hostages are no longer in Hamas's captivity in Gaza - a critical step toward healing and progress for both Israelis and Palestinians. Sending loving kindness to their families and loved ones ❤️

Better to live life erring on the side of being optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right! Be realistic, but, as Monty Python would say, always look on the bright side of life!

Mahmoud Khalil’s interview with Ezra Klein brought up a problematic and recurrent theme in the “pro-Palestine” movement that must be dispelled and rejected. Khalil invoked the repetitive and tired idea that the October 7 attack by Hamas was an inevitability, when the truth is far more straightforward and needs to be told by Gazan voices and those who are impacted by the war, and not by diaspora Palestinians. October 7 was a choice, not an inevitability! A choice that two psychopaths made from within Hamas’s military wing, Sinwar and Al-Deif. It was not inevitable that Gaza had to be the source of the worst single-day attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust; it was not an inevitability that Gaza needed to be destroyed and annihilated in defense of the West Bank; it was not an inevitability that Gaza needed to be a terror base for an Islamist fascist organization, acting on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic Republic of Iran, as part of the so called, “Axis of Resistance.” Hamas squandered billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives for a fraudulent resistance narrative; this must be rejected and confronted by those who proclaim to be “pro-Palestine.” Hamas provoked the most far-right government in Israel’s history, without considering the consequences; that is ludicrous and shows how stupid and undeveloped the group’s political and strategic custodianship of the Palestinian cause is. The idea that Jewish “allied” voices like Ezra Klein choose to platform the most unhelpful and destructive “pro-Palestine” perspectives that excuse away Hamas’s terrorism is extraordinarily offensive to the numerous anti-Hamas Gazan voices who spent years standing up to the terror group’s fascist and Islamist undemocratic rule. The idea that the Second Intifada was a mostly “peaceful uprising” as proclaimed by Khalil flies in the face of the thousands of Israelis and Palestinians who lost their lives to suicide bombings, shootings, incursions, offensives, and the horrendous consequences of a miscalculation by Yasser Arafat, Hamas, and others who misunderstood the risks associated with such a strategy. It’s time to challenge unhelpful and destructive narratives that have become a permanent fixture of the pro-Palestine narrative. It is time to hear the unrepresented and suppressed people of Gaza have been saying about Hamas and have been pleading with the outside world to listen to them in their pursuit of freedom and independence. It is time to register the fraud that is promulgated by “pro-Palestine” activists in the diaspora who are woefully out of touch with what Palestinians in Gaza are actually saying. Mahmoud Khalil is free to have whatever beliefs he wants to, but folks like Ezra Klein should truly listen to what authentic Gazan voices are saying about the terrorist fascist organization instead of platforming clueless and out-of-touch Syrian-born nationals with Algerian citizenship claiming to represent the Palestinian narrative and voices. I am tired of supposed Jewish allies undermining pragmatic and reasonable Palestinian voices who just so happen to neatly fit their perceptions and prescriptions of what a “pro-Palestine” narrative sounds and looks like. Please do better, Ezra Klein. @ezraklein

Hey Mehdi. You have previously tweeted about how rare attacks by Muslims are, saying that they were just one-third of one percent. True enough! (Not adjusted per capita, but whatever, I take your point.) But by that same logic, rifles (of any kind) are used in around 2%-3% of all murders annually. AR-15s are a subset of those, and so probably not too far off "one-third of one percent," despite being super common.

Calling Israeli society “the most evil on earth” is a disgusting act of dehumanization. You can’t dehumanize an entire population for the actions of a group—we, as Palestinians, know exactly what that feels like. After October 7th, the world rushed to dehumanize all of us because of the actions of a few. No society is immune to extremism. But Israeli society is also where people take to the streets day after day, holding photos of Gaza’s murdered children and demanding an end to the war. Blanket vilification is lazy, dangerous, and no different from the hatred and racism I’ve spent my life fighting. I won’t let our pain be twisted into a justification for dehumanizing others. Enough. Stop it.

I won't condemn Hamas! True pro-Palestine voices shouldn’t wait to be asked if they condemn Hamas by TV presenters, as such critique and criticism of a vile terrorist group should be self-initiated. Imagine how much more powerful and resonant the message would be if the Palestinian people’s just and urgent aspirations were separated from the heinous organization that handed the Palestinian people in Gaza on a silver platter to the most far-right government in Israel’s history. It boggles the mind that many have become so sensitive to—and turned off by—simple, for-the-record declarative clarifications about whether or not they condemn a terrorist organization. What’s ironic is that the same people who refuse to do this and create such a fuss over this question are also the same ones who make claims about their activism not being about Hamas and that they do not support the group; so then, why is it so hard to condemn Hamas and move on and say whatever else you want, including criticism of Israeli policies in the war in the Gaza Strip? Messaging is not about emotionality and a sense of entitlement—it is an art that requires unambiguous clarity, combined with authenticity and precision.
