5 years ago I set a goal of building a business to $1 million... I did it.

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.
We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.

The fact that we live in a world that demonizes success like this is disgusting.
It’s not like he’s running some high frequency trading company extracting money out of the world.
He’s literally building technology that pushes the world further.
Like Starlink, giving voice to the voiceless where Internet is spotty.
Or Tesla, freeing us from fossil fuel dependence.
Or Neuralink, giving people the ability to see.
Has he succeeded at all of the big lofty goals perfectly ? Maybe. Maybe not.
But his companies are worth what they are worth because people believe in him enough to buy stock.
Now if you want to talk about insurance companies… or hospitals… or how some companies are genuine pariahs. Sure. But his? Hardly.
We can also hate his politics. But that to me is separate than the impact of his companies.
We can also disagree with the value people assign his companies. But that’s unrelated to whether he’s trying to push things forward or not.
No one needs to hate him enough. We need to reward people trying to push humans further.

No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.
What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.
GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.

Hook up a custom dev app with API - SO much better and more extensive
Full disclaimer: you’re gonna break shit so backup often via something like Rewind or just locally
Claude X Shopify
this is what we've all been waiting for
here's a couple interesting things it can do already:
> list new products
> update existing products
> create collections
> upload images
> analyze reports, customers, LTV, other metrics
it can't build a new store, make changes in your theme, create product templates or the direct advertorial pages
BUT it's only a matter of time until that's possible too
bullish on having Claude building funnels automatically soon

Stop taking advice from people who've never built anything. If they haven't put something on the line, their opinion on your risk isn't worth hearing.
The people who judge the attempt are never the ones making one.

Godspeed!
We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). x.com/i/broadcasts/1jxXgeyMk…

Well @jforjacob offered $15k, so I’ll offer double.
$30k to whoever can beat our top compression sock funnel for HollowSocks.com.
If your page can hit 100k sessions at a higher Northbeam 1DCROAS, the money is yours.
Could be as simple as a lander or pdp update.
Will post results here.
Contact @MaxorrLloyd our CMO to enter.
CRO agencies if you want leads that will take you to 8 figs…this is your opportunity. *Grifters can fuck off, we’re only running quality funnels not black hat bs.
