2020 has been a crazy year. @lawdan and I sold PureChat and took major investment for Axosoft (Press Release: resurgenstech.com/resurgens-tech…). There’s also been the insane rise. We feel grateful AF and are pledging $2 Million+ in donations to non-profits in the coming years...
We especially want to support small non-profits that are doing unique things, where a $5,000 or $10,000 donation would have a meaningful impact. If you have recommendations, reply to this tweet and tell us!
We also want to help the next gen of entrepreneurs who want to make a dent in the universe. We’re happy to share our experience and advice when relevant. We are pro #YesPHX which is the motivation for starting @AZCoWork that houses dozens of startups including @azfoundersfund
These plans have been in progress for years, but It’s crazy that it all came together in the middle of a pandemic in the most divisive times we have ever experienced. Hopefully we can do our part to make a small positive impact on the world.

Let's make the rest of 2020 awesome!

A few thoughts on @Tesla's #BatteryDay...

1) Just like Autonomy Day, Battery Day was a miss from a share-price or wall-street perspective, BUT that's never the point. It's common for stock price to go down on actual release of a big anticipated announcement.

2) ...
2) @elonmusk and @Tesla are working on execution of 10 or 20-year plans. Like Autonomy Day, Today's battery announcement has 0 immediate impact on products, pricing, sales, etc. However, long-term (3+ years), today's announcements were huge!

3) But...
3) I would argue events like Autonomy Day and #BatteryDay actually hurt @elonmusk and @Tesla's reputation because it invites massive (and partly valid) criticism regarding missed targets. There's still no FSD despite promise of it in 2017, then 2018, then 2019's Autonomy Day.

I don’t get it. Why would @SenSanders or @IlhanMN or @AOC, people who are all about the environment, pick on @elonmusk?
Been reading responses and a few things...

1) Most respectable billionaires are not against increasing tax on rich. Many like @BillGates are on record saying so.

2) Elon’s tweet the @SenSanders got upset over included a 2nd teeet saying give the money to the people instead

1/
3) Villifying billionaires is no different than villivying people for fame or influence or political power. I’m sure @SenSanders @IlhanMN and @AOC have all been subject of vilification and know what it’s like. Why do that to others?

I can’t imagine the world that an African American person lives in every day. The events of the past few weeks, from the mundane walk in the park resulting in a panic call to the cops, to a jogger getting gunned down, to a helpless person with handcuffs on being...
choked to death for 10 minutes - it’s enough to drive anyone to act uncivil. That’s what happens when people feel helpless - they act uncivil. As a country, the United States (including President Trump) always stands with the people of other countries during protests...
From Hong Kong to Iran to Venezuela and others, when the people in other countries have these kinds of uncivil protests, we demand patience, we demand that they be heard, we demand that draconian measures are not taken to shut down such protesters...

In a matter of weeks, not decades, Coronavirus may help us solve:

- Education
- Climate change
- Healthcare

This is the potentially huge positive long-term impact of the virus.
Education: We are seeing tons of online educational resources and videos given by true experts that are an order of magnitude better than the average education children get at a random school. Teachers are also discovering these resources too and will all become better teachers.
Climate Change: In a matter of weeks, we reduced our carbon footprints (by not driving or heating/cooling offices), by 50% or more. And things are never going back to normal again - even a 5 or 10% sustained reduction in carbon would have taken years to achieve.

I’m a DATA guy. Lots of DOOM and GLOOM bad info on #COVID19 out there predicting as many as 3 Million American deaths.

The DATA does not support that! A thread…

1/9
Before I talk about all the positives, let me first say THIS IS SERIOUS. You need to take #COVID19 very seriously and implement social distancing. My annoyance comes from those who are creating unnecessary chaos and panic. We know this is beatable. Here is why & how…

2/9
These are China's numbers. They were the first country to get #COVID19, so we can learn a lot from them and these graphs:

Notice:
1. Confirmed cases stabilized at ~80K
2. Active cases are rapidly declining!
3. New cases are as low as 30/day now!

Extreme measures work!

It annoys the hell out of me when I hear millionaires (and even more so, billionaires) saying that they "deserve" their money because they "worked so hard for it."

Lots of people work hard.

A thread...
In my visits to Africa, I saw villages of thousands that don't have running water. Every day, part of their routine was to walk a Kilometer to a shared water well with a jug to get water for the family to drink.

That's working hard too. Just to drink water!
In the US, there are people who work 60+ hours a week on minimum wage just to make ends meet. That's working hard too!

There are those who work in physical labor jobs, often outside, in scorching heat or snow. That's working hard too!
