Memphis Mayor Paul Young confirming @elonmusk’s statement that Memphis is booming because of the data centers: “This year was $54 million in taxes generated. Last year about $25 million — it was the second-largest taxpaying property in Shelby County.”

Elon has nearly 160,000 direct employees throughout his companies and supports almost 870,000 jobs. Over five years, based on conservative estimates, @elonmusk’s companies have injected $338 billion into the US economy. @Tesla makes the first and second most American made cars. @SpaceX made the first fully reusable rocket and the world’s largest satellite internet constellation. As Axios says: his “companies are central to America's technological and military power.” In the end, the only people the Democrats will hurt are the American people.

The Gates Foundation is one of Kara Swisher’s major sponsors of her podcast. If you’ve ever listened to her show, you’ve heard a Gates Foundation ad. Makes it ever more clear why she is targeting @elonmusk.

As California's top election official during the 2020 presidential election, Alex Padilla handed a $35M voter-contact contract to Joe Biden's campaign firm. The state controller even refused to pay because she said his office didn't have the authority to spend the money. Alex illegally used federal election grant money for get-out-the-vote work.

Stuart Varney: What is this Grok @Bot? You use it. Phil Rosen: I am using it. @Varneyco: Who puts it out? What does it do? Rosen: This is @elonmusk’s frontier lab. I will share personally, I was on Claude for the last year or so, and I would use Claude, ChatGPT, and a little bit of Muse in the last few weeks. Since I started to use Grok Bot this month, I have essentially cut all my other AI tools. Varney: What's so good about it? @philrosenn: It's essentially your own staff of AI agents. You can have a chief of staff agent managing your other AI agents, which, again, I get it, sounds a little ridiculous, and I tell my friends and my parents this and they don't understand, and I have to walk them through it on a Zoom call. I use Grok Bot for a lot of content creation now. I use it for some fact-checking stuff, some editing, research. I use it for helping me with my calendar.

“Well, to be honest, Elon Musk is paying the most money in the country right now with this SpaceX little job that they got down there in Southaven, you know what I’m saying. It’s a killing,” said Ray Massey, who also traveled from Gulfport, Mississippi, in hopes of data center work.” One electrician had a message for Elon Musk about the work. “Tell Elon Musk to stay, we love this money you’re giving us man,” the electrician said.

Grok Bot has dramatically improved my efficiency: 1) books my flights 2) buys movie tickets 3) alerts and reads through key news 4) coordinates play dates with friends 5) does my invoices 6) pays my bills

Never underestimate the importance and power of a good workout. Having babies makes women stronger, not weaker. Four months postpartum and my body has literally never felt better.

I have my banking connected to @bot. It was a seamless process to connect and it now audits my credit card, tracks refunds and returns, and alerts me when the bill is due. My favorite is when bot tells me a trial period moves into a full price subscription. The future is now.

I placed an ordered a dress for a black tie event via @bot. It was never delivered (thanks @DHLGlobal). Bot submitted a refund request to the company, including contacting the DHL. Bot tracked the delivery, followed up with the merchant and just now notified me that the refund appeared back on my credit card. It’s automating the worst part the shopping experience: refunds & returns.

"The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place", I couldn't agree with @daringfireball more. X is the place to be if you genuinely like technology and progress. Just such a delightful optimism here.
