"Incredible that almost 58k people voted. I hope everyone that voted No feels seen. Now onto business. I got calls from many Wall Street and Crypto Titans yesterday. They all want in and their vote matters a lot to me so. I will probably do it. Maybe this time it will go better Who knows. The risks are clear though. The last time wasnt a success by any means. I will include this poll AND the community note in EVERY SEC filing possible. It will make an excellent disclosure about the risks and is not short of irony. So what kind of company do you guys want No crying in the casino"

"Secondly and more importantly I want to temper retail investors involvement with my SPACs. This deal was built for institutional investors. Specifically XXXX percent went to large institutions each picked explicitly by me. The remaining XXX percent was allocated to retail investors. We designed it this way almost entirely institutionally backed because as I have learned these vehicles are not ideal for most retail investors. They are for investors who can underwrite the volatility place it as part of a broader structured portfolio and have the capital to support the company over the long run."

"When geopolitical & socio-economic tensions rise both people & nations turn to hard assets. One big buyer in particular has been Beijing. China has been swapping Treasuries for gold for years lifting reserves to over 74m ounces. This is a reflection of both state policy and popular sentiment: hedging against dollar risk sanctions and Chinas own shaky property and stock markets. Its a signal of rising uncertainty in the world"

"Mainstream medias approach is to paint anyone they cant control as corrupt or conflicted. The truth is always the opposite. The individuals arent corrupt. The media is. America deserves the best and brightest from industry taking a few years off to work in government and help make sure we remain the most vibrant country in the world. Just because those people refuse to be in the pocket of the media doesnt mean they deserve to be smeared"

"Building with precision vs building with "speed". The former is about going slow up front so you get the intention and details right. This then allows you to go fast in the middle and the end. The latter is about going fast up front only to realize you made many sub optimal decisions the code is janky and it quickly becomes unwieldy and slop. 2026 will be an important year when more and more companies come to this realization and demand a collaborative opinionated way to build software in a structured and disciplined way. This is what we created when we built Software Factory at"

"A crazy idea would be a mandate that federal funding for universities can only happen when/if the ideological balance of its professors are within +/- 20%. Any institutions that opts out/takes zero funding from the federal government (ie from taxpayers) can still do whatever they want. Assuming neither side is more wrong nor right the debate and ultimate quality of students coming from schools with more ideological balance would be meaningfully better I suspect"

"California is proposing a X% excise tax on billionaires. I put it in quotes because it proposes counting everything and the kitchen sink as a dragnet to qualify as many people as possible. But what they are really doing is breaking the seal on a trend that will bankrupt the state. The inevitable outcome will be an exodus of the states most talented entrepreneurs who can and will choose to build their companies in less regressive states. All that will be left behind is the middle class. The tax burden then will fall to the middle class because after the richest choose to leave the middle class"

"If youd like to get rich or stay rich Id encourage you to develop the ability to change your mind. Most ideas are shitty.

Others who cant change their minds will constantly remind you of a former opinion. Ignore them. They want you to be down there with them so they can feel better about themselves. Dont fall for it"

This means that Google has a huge runway ahead of itself as their models and services become better. It also means that when/if Meta gets their act together they will be able to gain share quickly.

"Move Fast and Break Things vs Move Slow and Forge Things Move fast and break things was a something we invented at Facebook to get a bunch of entitled Ivy League kids to grind for us. It worked. Then all of Silicon Valley mistakenly confused correlation with causation and adopted this mode for themselves without questioning it. In a world of AI those that continue to pray at this altar will be the first to lose their jobs. Moving fast and breaking things is exactly the low hanging fruit that AI will automate. Learn to move slow and forge things. Make things that can stand the test of time."

"This attitude is why healthcare in America is both really expensive and sometimes not very good. A preventative MRI something my friends and I do every 2-3 years absolutely exists and has tremendous value. It is the best form of schmuck insurance: XXXX% of the time it finds nothing XXX% of the time it saves your life. The cost of a full body MRI is $2-3k right now but it has fallen from $5k a few years ago. This procedure will soon be under $1k or less than $1/day when accounting for the periodicity making it affordable for many - especially through an HSA or employer sponsor"

"The reason this EO is important is so that the federal government can take the lead on defining the rules on the field. Playing a game with XX sets of rules isnt viable. Having to do so would slow down investment. But with one federal framework theres an opportunity to create one set of rules so that AI investments can continue - currently responsible for half of American GDP"

"What I read this week. 1) On 12/11 The White House issued a new Executive Order declaring that the United States must adopt a single national AI regulatory standard rather than a mosaic of state-level rules. The EO does not define the federal standard but directs agencies to resist state laws viewed as burdensome using the following tools: - DOJ litigation - FTC action against compelled model outputs - FCC challenges to disclosure mandates - Withholding of discretionary federal funds The goal is to prevent divergent state requirements that might hamper the AI landscape before Congress acts."

"To make the math simple the car on the left is $25k. The car on the right is $150k. That said the key question in my mind arent the design choices each made but how regulators will frame their expectations to have a robust safe fully autonomous fleet in their city. I suspect initially they start with licenses for both. And as they collect data it will be incumbent on Tesla to show their error tolerances are as good or better than Waymo. Otherwise it creates a lobbying opportunity for Waymo to convince regulators that increasing the BoM helps increase safety for pedestrians and other drivers."

"Transpilers are very tricky. We started working on this initially at 8090 but had to pivot - it was really hard without access to the core chip. One hyperscaler gave us this access but it still wasnt enough. Pytorch is v tricky and hyper optimized for Nvidia silicon. We likely would have overcome it but it was impossible to get things moving quickly. I hope Google finds more success"

"Buyer beware .@friedberg just told me she is polling SECOND for President in 2028 amongst Democrats. Her desires are a very slippery slope and the end result is a police state with top down censorship by nameless/faceless people you didnt elect. Basically a thought police. This concerns me enough that I will now allocate some of my time in 2026 to ideas that promote unabashed privacy and freedom of speech. I had thought this was a solved problem after @elonmusk bought X but clearly its not. While I think an AOC outcome is still unlikely its one election and we could quickly return to a world"

"If a public company went through an audit like this the report would show a failing grade along with what is called material weaknesses. It would be a five alarm fire. The result would be a period to cure these weaknesses. Otherwise the CEO/CFO would be fired the company would not be allowed to raise money etc. If youre a government and you run things this shoddily it should be illegal to keep raises taxes to increase revenues without first passing an audit that shows you have a good handle on the taxes you already collect from residents"

"How corrupt and broken is California that we are the only state that hasnt paid this. Stock markets are at record highs X companies with trillion dollar market caps and yet these guys cant seem to keep their fiscal house in order. Add to this the exodus that will happen because of this potential new X% excise tax mark my words: The state is pushing itself closer and closer to bankruptcy. We need fiscal discipline asap"

"The H1B system has been manipulated by some companies as a form of labor arbitrage to staff up cheap labor - with many abuses well documented. The most negative consequence is the displacement of qualified American workers. That is why this proposed change has the potential to make the H1B visa system much less prone to abuse and a more constructive part of the American labor model"

"Taken Sep X 2016 when @JonathanRoss321 convinced me we could take on the giants build new silicon and that AI was coming. In typical SV fashion we didnt even have a company yet - just a term sheet from me to invest and the three of us. I spent the next month recruiting as many of the TPU team from Google Wisconsin as I could. Welcome to chips I thought. The company as with all important companies went through its own trials and tribulations including promoting Jonathan from CTO to CEO and the inevitable falling out and repair of his and my relationship. Anyways it all happened for a reason."

"California will be bankrupt by 2030. If youre expecting a state pension it is at risk. If you dont believe it check Grok or Gemini and explore how California politicians changed the reporting rules on your pension so they could hide how underwater it is. The middle class citizens of California will soon be asked to pay a huge price to bail out the state. Why them Because that is where most of the wealth of California resides. Its easy to single out billionaires but there arent many of them and they can and will all leave before the bottom falls out. They are leaving in droves already. The"

"This idiotic attack by an inept California politician on a productive California resident caused him to leave. It should not be lost on anyone that this has already cost California $10s of billions in lost taxes from Elon and the plethora of well paid employees that followed him out of the state. That number will exceed $200B+ as SpaceX goes public and Tesla grows even more and whatever amazing new companies he starts from nowin Texas. Said differently had California embraced its innovators and worked with them to find ways to support them they could count on hundreds of billions in tax"
