Trump cost Republicans the Governor’s mansions in WI, MI, PA and MD. A lesson here: if you entrust your party to a sore loser, it’s bad not only for your party, but also for America.

Jessica, thanks for calling this out. Insinuating that SVB failed because its board wasn't 12 white men is beyond absurd.

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.

What if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? In my new podcast, Possible, my co-host @ariairene and I talk with some sharp minds to sketch out the brightest future and what it'll take to get there. We also invite another guest, GPT-4, to help us. Here's a preview:

The future is always sooner and stranger than you think. While it’s difficult to predict exactly where artificial intelligence will take us, it's important to focus some of our best minds on the implications of living with this technology.

And just to be clear, only anti-Americans should think that this is a partisan issue. This is about American democracy and ensuring the will of the people is heard. I support Democratic and Republican leaders who disavow Trump's Big Lie and work to uphold democracy.

The first chance to defeat Donald Trump in 2024 is in the primaries. That's why, even though I'll be voting for Joe Biden in November, I'm supporting Nikki Haley in the Republican primary.

American Democracy, Joe Biden, and Nikki Haley

In the 2024 election, I will enthusiastically vote for Joe Biden. First, to repeat, Biden is a good man and good politician who has been a history-making successful President during a time of crisis.

The President doesn’t get to pick the states where people's votes get counted. The American people get to pick their president. Joe Biden believes all votes should be counted, because Joe Biden believes in democracy.

Just to be clear: The Trump administration is asking the courts to stop counting in PA and MI, Trump has declared victory and called any deviation in the coming days theft, etc. It probably won't work. But he's trying to delegitimize the election. And it's dangerous.

Appreciate @GavinNewsom for his leadership in recognizing that SB 1047, as written, would have slowed innovation, learning, and progress toward safe AI by imposing a vague and preemptive regulatory regime on AI developers worldwide, including many California-based companies.

What I learned @PayPal : You can focus on being 2x better than your competition, or you can find a white space where there’s no competition at all. Both approaches are valid; one is probably more fun. @mastersofscale #MindsetChallenge Day 9
