.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

I'm going to say something that doesn't reflect well on me or my wife.
We let the kids have the iPad for too long. Way too long.
We realized that it was ruining their personalities.
I watched it happen and I didn't act fast enough.
We took the iPads away. Took the phones. All of it.
And I got my children back.
They’ve been de-zombified. The difference was immediate and it was dramatic.
So let me give credit where it's due.
Shout out to Jonathan Haidt.

You think you're giving your kid entertainment.
A way to decompress. Something to keep them occupied.
You're handing them something that is quietly rewiring how they think, how they feel, and how they connect with the people right in front of them.
Take it away. You'll get your kid back too.
I promise you won’t regret it!

Elon may be technically right, but his behavior and politics are so toxic that he’s repelled anyone who would consider licensing FSD, perhaps he knows what he has and his behavior is by design. 🤷🏼♂️

Oakland’s best days are ahead of us.
We need fresh energy and new leadership to get there and I am running for mayor because the people who got us into this mess are ill equipped to get us out of it.
We've just published my priorities and our website has a new look and feel. This is just the beginning—there’s much more in store. I’ll be rolling out additional plans and updates in the coming weeks.
Can anyone over at @facebook reach out to me regarding a tech support issue? I've tried the chat system but they are not helping.
Hey @facebook - I know this is a long shot but can someone from your internal support team contact me? I have not been able to resolve an ongoing issue for over a month now and your chat support no longer responds to my requests. Thanks!

People on both sides of the political spectrum need to listen to this. Please!

The big takeway from tonight: Elon is spending too much time on politics, and not enough on Tesla.
Great advice then. Great advice now.
Replying to @JoeTalkShow @BreitbartNews
Yeah, but too much drama. Do we really want a bull in a china shop situation every single day!?
Also, I think the legal maximum age for start of Presidential term should be 69.

Who’s the genius at @CaltransHQ who closed consecutive exits along hwy 13 effectively cutting off access to all of Montclair and Piedmont simultaneously? There’s no signs of work even being done!?

💯 they can take the same logic for FSD and apply it just to the turn signals when navigation guidance is active.

I love my @Metromile coverage but your customer service is shockingly awful. Your chatbot refuses to connect me to an agent and proceeds to tell me to try again during business hours... it's Monday, 11am PST.
I was hopeful this would improve under @Lemonade_Inc leadership but it hasn't.
