Elon Musk, today: I think Grok may discover new technologies by the end of this year.

Eric Adams at #Bitcoin2025: “We must lead a city and country of innovators and creators, not haters. And even those haters…we have to ask in a uniform manner, who is laughing now?”
Update: Justin Sun, who was under investigation for fraudulent market manipulation until he started buying $TRUMP, has been added to a panel titled Building the Future Financial Products of America.
Oh, and Coinbase CEO Faryar Shirzad, whose exchange just suffered a massive data breach after low paid foreign contractors were bribed to hand over information, will be on panels with Donalds, LaCivita, Rios, Steil, and Jack.
Anyway I am here and will be covering the conference (and related things -- I finally get to see Eric Adams!!! At a Maggianos!!!). There are like 5 different stories I'm chasing here, so expect Substack, outlets, social media posts, and video clips.
The Bitcoin Conference brings together JD Vance, Eric Trump, Don Jr, Vivek Ramaswamy, Cynthia Lummis, Jim Justice, Bill Hagerty, Byron Donalds, Marsha Blackburn, Tom Emmer, Bo Hines, Chris LaCivita, Rosie Rios, Bryan Steil, Mike Benz, Chris Pavlovski, Ian Carroll, and Justin Sun.
Bitcoin 2025 starts tomorrow, and the line up is full of Republicans.
