We discuss why he owns bitcoin, how sports teams and bitcoin both work as scarce assets, Meta's big AI bets, and where AI and crypto are converging.
We also discuss Sports One, his new venture bringing minority sports team stakes to the public markets.

This decision has massive implications, and it doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is. Replacing commissioners at the EAC is not something that can be done by executive fiat. And we’re currently…commissioner-less.

🧵Elections are a complex ecosystem that require guidance from a reliable source of official information. Election administrators rely on election data,voting system standards and administrative guidance from the federally created bipartisan Election Assistance Commission.

🧵 1/3 Clean voter rolls are the foundation of election integrity. However, when there’s a question regarding a voter’s active status, election administrators must comply with state and federal laws without accidentally disenfranchising voters.

2/3 The election community has had varying degrees of success with cross-checking programs that compare voter records to official government databases. The use of credit reporting to track voters in Mississippi raises several questions. H/T @MSTODAYnews

Obviously, we’re huge fans of agentic AI models, so we were quite pleased to discover the new AI Agent Standards Initiative from @NIST and look forward to learning more about the initiative.
The future of AI is agentic, and America is leading the way to make it secure and interoperable.
A new AI Agent Standards Initiative is launching this week @NIST to drive industry-led standards and open protocols that build trust and advance innovation. nist.gov/news-events/news/20…

This was the most brutal insult Steve Jobs ever received:
In 1997, a man publicly insulted Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developer Conference in front of thousands.
Jobs' response changed Silicon Valley forever..

Worth a read, regardless of how you feel about the election; facts and reality must always guide inquiries. Our @ElectionBabe was pleased to contribute some of those facts to the article.
NEW:
I spoke to elections experts, voting systems companies and swing state officials about the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk used Starlink to rig the vote.
They all told me the machines that tabulate votes are not connected to the internet at all.

Sitting at a table of male election officials who don’t know I speak French and understand every word they said about women not deserving the right to vote.
I think I’m going to go drown my sorrows in coffee cake.
