Elon Musk Has His Vision. Waymo Chief Tekedra Mawakana Says She’s Got a Better One The Georgia-raised Silicon Valley tech exec, whom one venture capitalist calls “the un-Elon,” is gearing her car company up for a cross-country drive.

Vanity Fair has a new profile of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, positioning her as a kind of anti-Elon, and yours truly gets quoted along the way.

Worth a read, if you think all "self-driving cars" are the same, and all leading to the same place (they're not).

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

SSA employee to me re: 50% staff reduction: "Can say unequivocally that such deep cuts to SSA, which is already at historically low staffing, will cause significant to extreme degradation of services, very likely including checks missed and individuals dying before their claims can be processed."

Surprised?
