RT @ylecun: Trump has unfathomably idiotic policy proposals.
Many of them are impractical, illegal, or against the constitution.
But because he is an unfathomable idiot himself and because only idiots are willing to work with him, he is also totally ineffective when it comes to implementing his proposals, even those that are not illegal.

Here are some facts:
Trump had complete control from 2017 to 2019—he held the presidency, the Supreme Court majority, the House, the Senate, and the Department of Justice.
Here’s what happened:
0 Immigration bills passed
0 Funding for the wall:l
Immigration levels: hit record highs in 2019
Tax cuts for billionaires: 1
These are the numbers—just a little perspective. tweet

The key skill in politics is knowing how to count
The way billionaires like Elon Musk have assembled a ~50% coalition behind Trump is impressive
The Proud Boys likely aren't keen Bill Ackman can pay less tax, but there they are
Conversely, many liberal causes alienated voters https://t.co/IceM6b2NyZ

I just went to vote early and was told that I couldn’t vote because I updated my registration a few weeks ago vs 90 days before the election, even tho my online voter registration is accurate and says active.
Multiple people also got turned away.
So confused…. tweet

RT @emzorbit: Musk didn’t quit school. He never started. He used Stanford as an excuse to get into the country. Then he never registered for classes. His plan was to get into the country on a student visa and then start his company. He never intended to go to school. https://t.co/AK2IXW6daW

Jeff Bezos: “You don’t understand my audience”
When Charlie Rose asks him if the iPad is a “Kindle killer” in this 2012 interview, Jeff gives an incredible response:
“It’s a very different product, and I can give you an example. If I came to you and said: ‘Charlie, I love your show, but we’ve got to sex it up. We need fast cuts and vicious arguments between your guests.’ You would rightly say to me: ‘Jeff, I love you man, but you don’t understand my audience. We have a cerebral conversation here. It’s what we do, and it’s how we’re differentiated.’”
He continues:
“When people come to me and say: ‘You’ve got to have full-motion video and color on the Kindle.” I say: ‘Why? You think Hemingway is going to pop more in color?’… You don’t understand my audience.”
Jeff explains that his vision for the Kindle is a purpose-build device for reading where no tradeoffs have been made—every single design decision is optimized for reading.
And knowing exactly who his audience is gave him conviction in the Kindle team’s design decisions—even when everyone at the time was saying that the iPad would crush them.
