$META cutting 10% of the workforce (8.000 roles) and eliminating 6.000 open positions. This will happen across the board in the tech sector and more broadly in knowledge work, Zuck is as always just ahead of the pack. Companies are switch labour costs for AI compute.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: People building with AI

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia. This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

As part of our $600B commitment, Mac mini will be produced in the US for the first time later this year! We're accelerating our progress even further— producing more AI servers and opening an all-new Apple Advanced Manufacturing Center for hands-on training.

We’ve raised $30B in funding at a $380B post-money valuation. This investment will help us deepen our research, continue to innovate in products, and ensure we have the resources to power our infrastructure expansion as we make Claude available everywhere our customers are.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

$GOOGL a monster cloud number: Google cloud revenue +82% YoY, big acceleration But even more valuable is the MARGIN. Cloud margin up from about 21% to about 36%. The compute shortage is gift to hyperscalers.

After listening to Anthropic’s Dario on the Dwarkesh pod made me realize that a BIG factor of the sucess of an AI lab will be determined by the lab’s abillity to predict their short term compute demand. Underestimate and you lose market share. Overestimate and you go bankrupt.

$AMZN AWS +24% (fastest growth in 13 quarters). Great growth but as the market is short sightet right now CapEx “the problem” again. $AMZN sees CapEx at $200B (est $146B)

$GOOGL is a company that doesn’t do hype. For them to go and increase CapEx from $90B to $180B is probably the most bullish thing long-term investors can see as it shows the scale of future revenue growth. I am shocked that at this stage most still don’t understand this.

$NVDA is buying Groq for $20B. Had $META on the bingo card not $NVDA. Big congrats to the Groq team and my friend @sundeep !

As $GOOGL brings ads to Gemini in 2026, many of their competitors will have trouble, as this probably means that $GOOGL is going to open more and more of Gemini for free. People say they don't want ads, but the vast majority prefer ads to paying $20, that is just the way it is.
