5 Tweet Tuesday - January 6, 2026

💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

My favorite 5 tweets of the week. Let’s dive in:

#1 💎 

I deleted all my social media apps this year so the only entertainment on my phone is the Kindle.

It’s hard, but at least I get to feel like I’m superior to all of you :)

#2 💎 

This can’t be true.

I refuse to accept that someone can be that much better at investing than me.

#3 💎 

The story is amazing:

  • Kid from Croatia starts building electric racing cars in a garage. Then makes a car company

  • Realizes he can’t compete with other luxury supercars like Porsche, Buggati, Ferrari, etc. so instead, pivots to becoming a supplier of parts (chips, batteries, power trains)

  • This becomes a $2B+ business

  • Porsche invests. After a series of mergers, he ends up CEO of Buggati and one of the largest shareholders

#4 💎 

This is a great clarifying question.

For me, since my goal is to get in shape – a competent CEO would look around and say “how about we start by deleting DoorDash, and throwing all this junk food out of the pantry”

He would need to blame it on the Grinch or something when my kids revolt, but it needs to be done!

#6 💎 Brought To You By Mercury

Everyone’s got startup opinions.

Twitter says VCs are dead. Reddit says AI is killing jobs.

Mercury actually looked at the data.

They surveyed 1,500 startup founders to see what’s actually happening in 2025:

  • 79% of AI adopters are hiring more (not less)

  • 79% of early-stage businesses are increasing spend

  • 87% of founders feel more confident about their business’s financial future vs. 2024
