“A high price was long since paid [@SohailSNAhmed] Britain spent half its treasury to free slaves. The loan we took out in 1834 do so (we had to pay the slave owners) we only paid back fully in 2014. We freed 800,000 slaves and even policed the seas to capture slave ships to free the slaves onboard. (1/2))”

“American weapons programs need to be completely redone. The current strategy is to build a small number of weapons at a high price to fight yesterday’s war. Unless there are immediate and dramatic changes made, America will lose the next war very badly. [deleted tweet]”

“RT @AutismCapital: 🚨ELON MUSK: "It's government spending that creates inflation. When you see prices go up at the grocery store, the prices…”

“Imperative [@cb_doge] ELON MUSK: "We need to have sensible spending. As it gets under control, it will dramatically effect inflation because what causes inflation is government overspending. It increases the money supply, which then increases the price of goods." )”

“@garrytan If dollar inflation is solved, the price in dollars to buy cryptocurrency will actually drop, other things being equal. What matters is the ratio of dollars to crypto.”

“@WheelImpressive The API still exists. We (mostly) stopped those who were demonetizing the platform or scraping it for their LLM. Is the API pricing wrong?”

“@BillyM2k This administration is selling pardons and his will fetch a high price”

“That is a crazy price per truck”

“The current system is incredibly inefficient, providing mediocre medical care at a high price”

“@Asmongold @pcgamer Big change from Diablo where the stores just sell useless trash at a high price”

“@PeterDiamandis Optimus is a very sophisticated robot. It will be immensely difficult to get the cost to $20k. Not easy at all, but it will eventually happen. Production volume needs to be above 1M/year for that. Price will be driven by demand, but eventually even price will get to ~$20k.”

“@BillyM2k Inflation makes asset prices go up, but not their value in real terms. When an asset is sold, taxes are paid on the difference between the new and old prices, even though value in real terms didn’t change. This affects anyone with assets. Cash balances with low interest rates…”

“Price of Fentanyl will rise sharply”

“Wow, electricity prices are crazy high in the UK and Europe!”

“SpaceX just launched a competing satellite constellation to Starlink. Same price as other customers. No favoritism to our own system.”

“Also, common sense. People need to live somewhere, so unless they move to a town with a lot of extra houses (true in some places, but not all places in America), there will be upward pressure on house prices proportionate to the influx of people.”

“@ID_AA_Carmack So long as those charging high prices don’t do bad things to stop new entrants who will lower the price, that is absolutely true”

“@ajtourville @Starlink Starlink prices must roughly match the rate of inflation in any given country”

“@ajtourville @Starlink @FCC By the way, the price could be much less if the government didn’t insist on so many crazy requirements that add no value”

“@ajtourville @Starlink I’m willing to say firm fixed price”

“Government overspending causes inflation. End of story. That is why prices at the store keep rising. Stop government overspending to end inflation!”

“National rent control will destroy the incentive to build new housing. National food price controls on supermarkets, which only have few percent profit margin, means empty shelves, just like Venezuela. https://t.co/SdhYncZsxq”

“@KamalaHarris Unless you increase the supply of new homes, this just raises the price by $25k and does nothing for affordability”

“What happens when price controls are mandated https://t.co/we0uQnBr9R. https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/10/29/452636462/the-nightmare-of-grocery-shopping-in-venezuela#:~:text=Kyodo%2FLandov-,Empty%20shelves%2C%20like%20these%20at%20a%20supermarket%20in%20Caracas%2C%20are,scanning%20to%20prove%20their%20identity”

“The rise in prices (inflation) is caused by government overspending, which increases the amount of money faster than the increase in goods & services output. That is the vast majority of the problem. Inflation was particularly bad during the Covid years, as there was massive…”

“@markpinc It was a stupidly high price 😔”

“@georgenjoroge_ @amerix Starlink Mini will be about half the standard terminal price and available later this year”

“@WholeMarsBlog About half the price of the standard dish to buy and monthly subscription, but you can still watch multiple 4k video streams simultaneously! 23ms latency. https://t.co/07bW5WgKKi”

“@SawyerMerritt Making a great electric car at a great price is extremely difficult”

“@Rothmus Yes, inflation causes prices to rise, but not value, so it amplifies the capital gains tax. This applies to everyone who owns a house. Even if your house value is the same when adjusted for inflation, you will still pay a capital gains tax even when there is not a true gain.”

“@WholeMarsBlog To add to the confusion, the IRA credit *does* apply to a leased Model 3 long range, which is why the lease price is lower than a Model 3 Performance”

“@iliketeslas @WholeMarsBlog Other cars change prices constantly and often by wide margins via dealer markups and manufacturer/dealer incentives. Only a fool thinks the “MSRP” is the real price. Tesla prices must change frequently in order to match production with demand.”

“Nelson Peltz should definitely be on the Disney board! He would help reform the company, improve the quality of product and generally serve in the best interests of shareholders, as he has done at many other companies. This would significantly improve Disney’s share price.”

“Tesla Model Y price will rise by $1000 in a few weeks”

“@stillgray Everyone pays full price for a Tesla, including me”

“@WholeMarsBlog Awesome car at a great price”

“The US construction industry can increase available housing by 1% to 2% per year. But the US population is only 330M out of 8B. So if just ~4% of Earth moves here, housing would need to double, which is impossible, causing a massive homeless problem and house prices to be…”

“@GaryMarcus It is actually extremely difficult to stop bots without affecting real users. As advanced AI becomes available to anyone, it will become almost impossible. That is why requiring even a tiny subscription payment massively improves quality of service, as it raises the price of…”

“@benshapiro I think the solution here is to price so-called “safe” advertising higher than “unsafe”. My companies will happily buy the latter.”

“@zerohedge You should enable subscriptions on this platform. Could even be at a higher price than off platform, as some will pay a premium for convenience.”

“@imPenny2x Not exactly a competitor to Nvidia, as we aren’t selling Dojo computers (although it could be sold as service). We just need a crazy amount of training compute to get full self-driving 10X safer than human, but can’t get enough GPUs, plus prices are extremely high!”

“@DimaZeniuk @Starlink @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink Temporary experiment to test price elasticity of demand”

“Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click. This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article.…”

“@DavidSacks Everyone pays the same price for a Tesla, including me. Same goes for new Twitter.”

“@tsrandall Tom, we’re not “starting a price war”, we’re just lowering prices to enable affordability at scale”

“@WholeMarsBlog So many well off critics don’t understand that demand at scale is limited by affordability. There is plenty of demand for our products, but if the price is more money than people have, that demand is irrelevant.”

“@cb_doge $7 is a small price for freedom”

“@GRDecter This is the real problem. Many cities have high office vacancy rates. Mortgage portfolios are at risk too if housing prices drop significantly.”

“Also, there will be a higher priced subscription that allows zero ads”

“@BernieSanders Full answer to insulin price question is complex. Short answer is that original insulin, discovered in 1921 (not 1923), is inexpensive, costing as little as $25. New, higher efficacy analog variants of insulin are more expensive. @CommunityNotes https://t.co/S4c0esI1vU https://time.com/6076709/walmart-low-priced-insulin/”
