It's quite funny that this dude's historic wealth might be the most persuasive blackpilling possible on capitalism, and yet the socialist warriors do not take advantage of the opportunity. Let me explain. His wealth is fundamentally disconnected from personal merit or direct labor. He is the CEO of three companies and in the C-suite at many others. There is simply no possibility whatsoever that he works the hours expected of such positions and that the little personal labor he dedicates to them represents the the incredible wealth he has extracted from them. Moreover, there are several, well-documented claims from insiders that they have to handle or buffer his erratic behavior, and that the executives that actually do the work are relieved when he gets hyperfocused on another company and leaves them alone. What work he does when he is hyperfocused consists mostly, according to insiders, as extreme micromanagement. He self-describes himself as a "nano-manager," and his official biographer talks about his hyper-critical "demon mode." There is a pretty reasonable argument to be made that his presence harms these companies, rather than helps them. This is only boosted by how many expensive, high-profile lawsuits his companies have been embroiled in by his public remarks, nonstop posting, and refusal to abide by financial disclosure deadlines. How he treats his employees and unilaterally fires people without cause also causes employment lawsuits. Substantively, his companies also benefit from him lying to the market to cause speculation and government subsidies won by quid pro quo behavior that would have, in better times, been considered criminal. Musk causes Tesla and SpaceX to consistently lie about its products, and he is never punished enough to offset the personal benefit he gets from the market or subsidies by such lying. His wealth is an illusion driven by retail investor enthusiasm based on these lies, market expectations based on his lies and the fact that he has yet to seriously pay for lying, and pay packages approved by boards stacked with flunkies that cannot articulate how he can possibly do enough work as the CEO of three companies and executive of half a dozen others to justify his intensely bloated pay packages. He receives that pay even when his companies are not profitable, which has led to constant shareholder lawsuits. If there was a poster boy of American Capitalism, it is him. He represents everything wrong with the reality of how the system works, and how lying and anticompetitive behavior is not adequately curbed.

In the future everyone will have their own coffee table book filled with the transcript of your agent’s “thinking”.

I think this was designed for me @RickRubin my pitch

It's official, we have AGI.

Anybody install the macOS 27 yet on their daily driver? I’m hesitant

Every race now: Democratic candidate: military veteran, Christian who attends church, married to the same person, no affairs, no scandals, no criminal record, normal net worth middle class, represents the 99% “Commie” “Godless” “anti America” Republican candidate: No military service, 3 ex wives, criminal indictments, sexual assault settlements, paid for mistress’s abortion, career politician, corruption scandals, 3 houses, undeclared stock trades, puts trumps feelings and criminality above the state or country, no bid contracts to their friends and family members, owned by the 1% “True man of God” “patriot” “separate the man from the policy”

Into the future I go

I’m kinda a hot woman. Ngl

The NBA finals teach me one thing. Michael Jordan would have killed it in this era, would have swept the floor with everyone. Not kidding.

If you think I’m trashing MAGA (whatever that is now) I really am sorry. I know for certain there are millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump that love this country and love their neighbors and love their families and struggle and succeed and fail just like me and you and everyone. And I don’t begrudge them their political affiliation in any way. I just abhor the hate. The meanness for the sake of being mean. No matter where it’s coming from. I’m not your enemy man. I’m really not. They’re trying to get us to fight among ourselves while they pick our pockets and piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining. I’m not doing that to you and I sure as hell know you’re not doing that to me. What could we possibly gain by hating each other as they walk off with all the food on the table. We can disagree with each other without hating each other. We just all need to break the algorithm man. It’s so much more fun finding a reason to love someone than it is finding a reason to hate them.

Well here’s how it works. I go and talk honestly about all the crazy antics I got up to when I was a crackhead and then I go on X and people tell me I’m a degenerate crackhead and I go “yep I sure was” and then people say but what about the laptop and I say “what about the laptop “ and then they say “what about the pardon” and I say “I am really grateful my Dad pardoned” and then…anyway you get the gist.

Sorry bros the World Cup is the best sporting event in the world. And we still have 5 days until it starts

The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion. But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

@hellomacfolio check out my app. Would make a good addition to your site

Also used @interaction Poke app to help with a lot of the lines.

I’ve taken a lot of hits, and I’ve deserved some of them. I beat myself up over them more than you can imagine. But the grace people have shown me here is truly humbling. Some of the kindest words have come from the people you’d least expect. And for that I am so grateful. This isn’t about me. It’s about every person in recovery who shows up and tries again. And to everyone still in the fight tonight: you are not alone, I see you.
