Ro, you just gave a nice little stump speech. Congrats. I'm talking about how AI can be used to make government more efficient, less expensive and provide an option, where it makes sense , to private enterprise. Enabling more of the revenue you collect from taxpayers to go directly to the people who need it. Ask your GenZ and neediest constituents, if AI could reduce spending in your state and improve the quality of services offered, with some percent of those savings being deposited in their bank accounts annually, would they approve of the government using AI ? You know the answer. By focusing on technology that can allow government to provide better services at a lower cost, which AI will be in a position to enable, only then can you help provide for people who need help and support. AI is new, and not easy to implement. Which is why your state and the federal government should be creating programs to give new grads, who know or can learn AI, jobs to work with existing staff to find ways to decrease costs and improve efficiency. It's an investment that will pay off. And as far as all the things you want to subsidize, from homes to childcare to healthcare , you could take every dollar from every billionaire and trillionaire in your state and probably every state and territory, leave them broke and then eat them, and it wouldn't cover for a year, the cost of what you want to do But Since I know healthcare, let's start there and see how serious you are about Medicare for All ? Who runs it and how do you choose that person? Right now the proposed legislation from jayapal and sanders says ," at the discretion of the Sec of HHS" What do you think would be happening right now if that had been passed ? I'll tell you the same thing I tell Republicans who think removing government and regulation from any market will make that market bigger and more efficient ... Ideology is not a strategy
.@mcuban have you seen @ericschmidt booed by young graduates preaching how AI will solve all? I am not an AI doomer or accelerationist. I am an AI democratist. But AI is not a panacea for our economic divides. Our elite class is totally out of touch. Young folks see an unfair and lopsided economy where money lenders & speculators are obscenely wealthy while they can't afford a house or education. We are in a new Gilded Age. We need a home guarantee for young Americans by 35 if they work for 7 years. A jobs program for them after school. Childcare at $10 day. Medicare for All so healthcare isn't tied to your work. Free trade schools and public college. An industrial investment bank financing small and medium size manufacturers that make things we currently import. Tech institutes that prepare Americans to use AI in a small business, government agency, or factory floor. An end to data center extraction taking a community's water and jacking up their bills, sucking all the money in the hands of a few tech billionaires. A tax on agentic AI more than human workers. A tax on billionaires and, yes, trillionaires. An end to foreign wars. An end to aid to nations that commit genocide. I call it a Team America agenda.

Hey @SenWarren stop bashing on Elon Musk. He is an African-American and your attacks on him are clearly racist. Stop the Democratโ€™s bigotry!

Cry harder Libtards. You'll never be a trillionaire because your idea of making money is stealing it from people who worked hard to build something as successful and beautiful as Tesla and SpaceX. Get off your lazy ass. Free market capitalism is a beautiful thing. Rant over.

Pocahontas & Bernie demand Elon pay MORE than the $11 BILLION in taxes he already hands over. While they ram through insane laws & blow our money on their stupid pet projects. They are the corrupt swamp destroying America! Yes or No? MAHA

LET'S EDUCATE PEOPLE WITH ACTUAL NUMBERS.... The media loves headlines about @elonmusk becoming a "trillionaire." But most people don't understand what that number actually means. Let's break it down. If Elon Musk is worth roughly $1 trillion on paper: โŒ It does NOT mean he has $1 trillion in cash. โŒ It does NOT mean he can spend $1 trillion tomorrow. โŒ It does NOT mean the government could simply seize $1 trillion and spend it. Most of that wealth exists as ownership in companies. Think about it this way: If your home is worth $500,000, you don't have $500,000 sitting in your bank account. You own an asset. The same principle applies to company shares. Now let's compare some numbers. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The U.S. federal government spends roughly $7 trillion per year. Even if Elon somehow sold every share he owned tomorrow and turned it all into cash (which is impossible), that money would fund Washington's spending for only about 7 weeks. Read that again. 7 weeks. Not years. Not decades. 7 weeks. ELON'S 2021 TAX BILL In 2021 Elon paid approximately $11 billion in federal taxes. The median American household pays around $2,000-$5,000 annually in federal income taxes depending on income and family situation. To equal Elon's $11 billion tax bill, you'd need roughly: โœ… 2.2 million households paying $5,000 each OR โœ… 5.5 million households paying $2,000 each That's more households than exist in many U.S. states. JOB CREATION Tesla employs over 120,000 people globally. SpaceX employs more than 15,000 people. X, xAI, Neuralink, and Musk's other companies employ thousands more. Directly and indirectly, Musk's companies support hundreds of thousands of jobs. โœ… Those workers pay taxes. โœ… Buy homes. โœ… Support local businesses. โœ… Raise families. That's how wealth circulates through an economy. WHAT ABOUT "TAX THE BILLIONAIRES"? Let's do the math. The U.S. national debt is now over $40 trillion. Suppose the government somehow confiscated an entire $1 trillion fortune. That would eliminate only about: 2.5% of the national debt. The other 97.5% would still be there. A spending problem cannot be solved by a one-time wealth seizure. THE BIGGER PICTURE America has approximately: ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 340 million people ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 34 million businesses ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ A $30 trillion economy The reason America became the most prosperous nation in history wasn't because government bureaucrats created wealth. It was because entrepreneurs, inventors, builders, investors, and workers created wealth. โœ”๏ธ The smartphone in your pocket. โœ”๏ธ The internet. โœ”๏ธ Amazon. โœ”๏ธ Google. โœ”๏ธ Microsoft. โœ”๏ธ Tesla. โœ”๏ธ SpaceX. Most of the technologies that transformed modern life came from capitalist innovation, not socialist central planning. Yet some politicians act like success itself is the problem. No. The problem isn't that America produces billionaires. The problem is that America isn't producing enough future millionaires. A healthy economy should create more owners, more investors, more entrepreneurs, and more opportunity. Because every billionaire started as a millionaire. Every millionaire started with a first dollar. And every thriving economy starts by rewarding people who create value for others. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ America became great by creating wealth. Not by punishing the people who create it.

I have no problem with Elon Musk being a trillionaire. I have a huge problem with $108 billion spent annually for SNAP on illegals, lowlife bottom-feeders, and foreign invaders.

The @12News parent company "Principles of Ethical Journalism" statement claims that they are dedicated to the principles of "truth, independence, public interest, fair play and integrity." But last night an employee was coordinating a special interest on a group chat at the AZ Capitol.

Judge declines to block President Trump's order on mail-in voting. If you are wondering about this, heads are exploding at the ACLU. Trump's order directs federal agencies to Compile state-by-state lists of U.S. citizens eligible to vote, using federal databases; Instruct the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to create rules for handling mail-in and absentee ballots, including potentially delivering ballots only to those on approved lists and establishing uniform standards.
๐ŸšจBREAKING: Just as we said months ago - help is on the way! This Executive Order is properly placed Presidential authority over the United States Postal Sevice. Mail fraud or mishaps is done!

Replying to @SenWarren
Dear Elizabeth, During Hurricane Helene, we lost power for weeks, internet for months. All of our phones stopped working and first responders could not communicate. ...and then Elon donated Starlink and saved THOUSANDS, many of them, people I know and love WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU EVER BUILT, EVER IN YOUR MISERABLE FUCKING LIFE TO BENEFIT HUMANITY IN ANY WAY AT ALL THAT COMES REMOTELY CLOSE?!!!!!

Huge Victory for Alex. Arizona will be able to affirm citizen only voting and safeguard our elections from Los Angeles style chaos
๐ŸšจArizona Secure Elections Act Advances to Statewide Ballot Rep. Alexander Kolodinโ€™s proposal would put voter ID, citizen-only voting, and election safeguards into the Arizona Constitution โ€œFor years, Arizonans have watched the same election problems repeat while trust in the system has eroded. The Arizona Secure Elections Act puts the rules where they belong: in the Constitution. Citizens vote. Voters show ID. Foreign money stays out. Voters can see their ballots counted where they vote. Election laws should be written by Arizonans, not dictated by bureaucrats, activists, or outside interests. The Legislature has done its job. Now the people of Arizona will decide.โ€ -@AZHouseGOP @realAlexKolodin, sponsor of HCR2001. READ MORE๐Ÿ‘‡ azhousegop.com/arizona-securโ€ฆ #AZHouseGOP #AZLeg
