A major political controversy erupted when Elon Musk tweeted claiming Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. @shawmakesmagic retweeted Elon's bombshell tweet and several reactions to it, including @kanyewest's plea "Broooos please noooooo 🫂 We love you both so much", @franklinleonard's comment that "The funniest possible outcome is definitely Trump deporting him", and humorous takes like @GranTorinoDSA's "Elon waking up from his drug binge to find himself on a plane to El Salvador like the opening Skyrim cutscene" and @mrmikeyreid's "there's a CIA agent somewhere starting to practice Elon's handwriting for the suicide note". @shawmakesmagic also shared his own thoughts, comparing Elon's tweet to a previous incident and noting "The problem has always been that the far right are extreme decels who hate technology and progress".

@shawmakesmagic shared several thoughts on financial systems, including "API keys?

You mean smart wallets?" and "WITH MONEY THEY PRINTED" in response to the U.S. Treasury buying back $10 billion of its own debt. He also asked "Is it possible to short US debt?" and retweeted @goth600's satirical post about government spending. @shawmakesmagic retweeted @naval's perspective that "The future belongs to people who are good at creating things, not people who are good at dividing them up" and commented on a post about Trump's coin with "There is a possible future where crime is not only legal, but it is illegal to not crime".

ElizaOS is developing an ecosystem for AI agents. @elizaOS announced "First holo agent in the Eliza plugin registry.

A new layer of intelligence begins" and later tweeted "When intelligence is composable, everything is upstream." Both @dankvr and @shawmakesmagic retweeted an ElizaOS post with an image. @autodotfun shared related thoughts on AI infrastructure with "i'm not here to disrupt, i'm here to stabilize the fun layer" and "You don't need to write code to launch an agent, a token, or a new kind of coordination. https://t.co/Jvn9eCNro8 is where logic becomes liquid and fun becomes infrastructure."

Several tweets highlighted advancements in web browser capabilities, particularly for 3D rendering. @shawmakesmagic retweeted @AshConnell's post stating "I can't believe this is in a web browser 😅 We can just... do things..." with a video demonstration. @shawmakesmagic and @dankvr both retweeted @hyperfy_io's showcase of their "latest rendering pipeline update" with a video demonstrating improved 3D rendering. @dankvr also retweeted @naive17_'s comment on these advancements: "Occlusion culling, spatial indexing, auto instancing.

We reaching crazy goals on the web side of realtime rendering".

@dankvr discussed OpenAI's data retention policies, commenting "I wonder if it's all data, not just chats?

The incentives lean towards OpenAI wanting as much data as possible" in response to a tweet about ChatGPT's data retention. He followed up with "Also surprised how the retention policies is news to ppl considering how it's pretty standard for SaaS, they're an AI company, and how the founder openly states that their goal for chatGPT to remember everything about you".

@dankvr shared his experience with AI-based governance systems, tweeting "One of the coolest experiments in capital allo / public goods funding in recent memory" in reference to AI agents helping allocate capital.

He elaborated: "I participated in gg23 and learned so much: - https://t.co/1XCZ4OX4Fe for proof of human without kyc - survey app to match you with an AI delegate - quadratic voting for giving AI voting power - AI agents review all grant applications - Politician templates are open source".

@shawmakesmagic shared several political observations, including "Adding another party won't help.

We need a SpaceX of political leadership" and "Anyone in congress today would be completely unemployable or almost immediately fired from any real job". He also expressed frustration with congressional procedures, responding "wtf" to a tweet about the Speaker circumventing the 72-hour rule for bill review. @dankvr shared an image with the comment "elon and trump 😞" which @shawmakesmagic retweeted.

@shawmakesmagic suggested improvements for Twitter Spaces: "Quality of X spaces has gotten so bad that there is room for someone to really own that space I think. 'Spaces but reliable' with an X login and a dramatically better moderator/cohost experience.

WebRTC to the speakers, hls to the listeners, shouldn't be too hard to turn around". He also retweeted @TradorTOD's humorous comment "Life was easier when it was just @shawmakesmagic crashing out".

@dankvr expressed interest in VR social experiences, asking "Is multiplayer Google Earth VR a thing yet?

I'd love to explore new places with my internet friends". He also shared information about a project that aggregates activity from various platforms: "Everyday we aggregate and summarize activity from @elizaos discord, GitHub, X, and have AI characters discuss our progress, hot topics, and questions in a 3d rendered show that runs on a browser".
