The man who runs some of the most important companies on earth still lets the public reach him directly. Ask the head of your bank a question in public and see what happens. Try the same with an airline or a phone company. The message lands in a support queue, or it gets handed to a press office. Investors hear from the company on a scheduled call. The person who can actually say yes is never in that conversation. Elon Musk runs the opposite way, and he does it across every company he owns. On February 26, 2022, Ukraine's vice prime minister and digital minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, posted a public request for Starlink. Ten hours later the answer was: "Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route." Two days after that, Fedorov posted a photograph of a truck full of terminals. Gwynne Shotwell, the president of SpaceX, later told an audience at Caltech that the company had been waiting on a formal letter of permission. They treated the post as the letter. "They tweeted at Elon and so we turned it on." The same habit shows up in smaller ways. A Tesla owner asked for a mode that would keep a dog safe in a parked car and put a message on the screen so strangers would not break a window. It went out to the fleet. After he bought X, people asked to write more than a chain of 280-character posts. He said long posts were coming, and they arrived. Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, X, xAI. The products are different and the reflex is the same. The owner stays reachable, and the company has to live up to whatever he promised in public.

Crypto has millions of users already. but the next 100 million probably won't start with a wallet. they'll start with a card they can use like any other card. So the real question is... what needs to happen for crypto cards to actually go mainstream? We're bringing builders together to talk about what's working, what's still broken, and what it will take to get crypto into everyday spending. @FolksMobile | @UPayOfficial_EN | @get_revuto Topic: The next 100 million crypto users will come through a card - how do we get there? Set reminder: Come challenge the speakers. Bring your questions. 👇

🚁 Supplemental pool report #1# - Departure from the Ellipse POTUS arrived at the Ellipse at 5:58 p.m. He boarded Marine One at 6:00PM p.m. after a short walk from the motorcade. He was followed by others, including Natalie Harp and Walt Nauta. Trump did not stop for questions as he was too far from the pool. Marine One was wheels up at 6:04 p.m., en route to Sterling, where POTUS will attend a MAGA dinner at Trump National Golf Club. M1 was followed by another chopper. The President will not return to the White House tonight, as he will spend the weekend at Camp David. Handing off to the in-town travel pool. Marek Walkuski Polskie Radio Fri. Sep. 18, 6:06 PM

Anthropic just lost its bid to pause the government's supply chain designation while the legal fight plays out. A 3-judge DC Circuit panel (one level below SCOTUS) ruled the "equitable balance cuts in favor of the government." To win a stay, you need to show (1) you're likely to win the underlying case and (2) you'll suffer irreparable harm beyond just money. The court shot down both — and used Dario's own words against him on the irreparable harm question. The panel of judges they drew couldn't have been better for the Administration if they'd picked themselves. So what's next? Anthropic could push for full en banc review — all 11 DC Circuit judges weighing in. But given the expedited briefing schedule set for May, it's hard to see the full court stepping in before the 3-judge panel rules on the merits which I expect could come in June. TLDR – at a minimum Anthropic’s relationship with the DoW will likely remain in limbo for another two months, unless the parties settle sooner.

If you're new here: hello. 🙇 A lot of you showed up over the last few weeks, and you brought your own jokes with you. One man wrote that he's stuck in a Wawa parking lot, because he can't drive while crying. (I'm very sorry. Wawa, please let him in.) One woman asked if I own stock in a tissue company. (I don't. I'm starting to think I should.) One reader said I make his cereal wet with tears. Another described himself as "a big refrigerator who gets weepy." So, a proper introduction, before anyone else's cereal gets ruined. I'm a Japanese office worker in Tokyo. 41. Married to a high school English teacher who corrects my posts with a red pen. Most of them get a B-minus. She has cried at three of them. She says that doesn't affect the grade. One more thing. Not once in my life have I been to America. That last part surprises people. When I was 13, I was the shortest kid in my grade. The one teachers forgot to call on. A farmer in Iowa, a man I had never met, sent me a letter that began, "DEAR BROTHER." He wrote to me for twenty-eight years. In pencil. In capital letters. He signed every one "MR. IOWA." He died in August. He never saw this account. I think he would have liked you. You write back. This account is my reply to him. Twenty-eight years late, and to a lot more people than I planned. What happens here: → Real moments between Americans and Japanese people. Names and details changed to protect the kind. → Japanese people trying to figure you out. (Applause on landing: solved. Ranch dressing: still under investigation.) → Questions for you. Once, 6,939 of you answered one question about long drives. I read them on the train for a week. I missed my stop twice. → A Japanese word now and then, when English runs out. Today's word is "en." English doesn't have it. It's the invisible thread between people who were always going to meet. When something brings two strangers together, we don't say "small world." We say, "There was en." A farmer in Iowa and the smallest boy in a Tokyo classroom. That was en. You, reading this right now, wherever you are. I think that's en too. Some of you found this at 3 a.m. Some of you found it in a hospital waiting room. A few of you wrote that being an American feels heavy lately. Whatever is happening on your end of the thread, I want you to know something. Somebody in Tokyo has this end. So tell me where the thread found you. Your state, and what you were doing when this account showed up. (Wawa parking lot counts.)

Your AI can write the reply but who decided what it's allowed to send? Our free copy-and-paste guides were viewed more than 200 million times on X in May and June. People dropped one block of text into the AI they already used and got a different kind of answer. Today that copy and paste grows up for agents. The ECHO™ Role Library: 92 free entries for the AI you already use. → 38 roles: the job, written down → 15 workflows: roles chained together, with your OK at every step → 18 limits: what never happens without you → 12 checks: quick tests before you trust it Every entry is built on the same four layers behind our viral guides: Orientation, Permission, Constraint, Invitation. Every one tells you which kind of AI it fits best, and every one is in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Japanese.

🌊Watch it turn a smudged sticky note (no name, just scribbled dates) into a resume a $300/hr coach would charge for. In about a minute. Two months ago you told us the search bar was broken. You were right. The job market gets reinvented by AI every six months. The tools you're handed to enter it haven't changed since 2016: same resume form, same job board, same interview you rehearse alone in your car. So we built the room we wished existed. Not a job board. Not an AI that writes a resume you'd be embarrassed to send. A private room that reads what you scribbled, then sits across from you and runs the interview until you stop dreading it. Real tools, the way Pattern Audit and Drift Forensics were. This is a preview, not a launch. We're not rushing the thing your career deserves. But the flag is planted. 🌊Watch it read the sticky note. (clip) 🌊Watch it run the interview. (clip) Build carefully. Question assumptions. And don't let old tools tell you what you're worth. 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊LATAM: la misma sala, en su idioma, hecha para los nuestros. Llegaron primero y no lo olvidamos. Próximamente en cada continente. 🌍🌊 Việt Nam: cũng dành cho bạn, bằng tiếng Việt. Cảm ơn vì đã đồng hành. Sắp ra mắt. 🌍🌊 日本: 日本語で、皆さん専用のコンソールで。いつもありがとうございます。近日公開。🌏 🌊 🌊 🌊 P.S. some of you aren't looking for work. You're trying to get in somewhere. We didn't forget.👨‍🎓
