Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

This is a fake comparison. SpaceX did not “lift America out of poverty.” It created paper millionaires for people close enough to the equity structure. That is not the same thing. An IPO or liquidity event can absolutely make employees rich. Good for them. But that proves ownership works for people who are allowed into the ownership pool. It does not prove the economic system works for everyone else. SpaceX’s value was not created in a vacuum by Elon handing out magic capitalism dust. It rests on NASA contracts, defense spending, public research, launch infrastructure, regulatory protection, tax law, capital markets, public procurement, engineers, technicians, welders, logistics workers, and years of investor tolerance. So when someone says, “SpaceX created thousands of millionaires,” the honest translation is: A public-private, state-backed, capital-market-driven company had a massive equity event, and people close to the cap table became rich. Fine. But that is not a rebuttal to Warren. Warren’s job is not to mint millionaires through stock options. Her political argument is about wages, consumer protection, bankruptcy rules, health care costs, student debt, corporate power, taxation, and whether ordinary workers get a fair deal. Saying “Elon created millionaires and Warren did not” is like saying a casino jackpot did more for one gambler than food stamps did for a hungry family. It confuses concentrated upside with broad public welfare. The real question is not whether 4,000 or 5,000 SpaceX insiders became millionaires. The question is why America treats that as a civilization-level achievement while millions of workers still cannot afford housing, health care, child care, retirement, or a few months without a paycheck. That is the propaganda move. Turn rare proximity to capital into proof that the system works. Then tell everyone outside the cap table to applaud.

Opinion: You might have thought the world’s richest man had enough on his plate teeing up history’s biggest IPO. Yet he has been devoting many of his waking hours to stoking up racial hatred in Britain on his social media site. ft.trib.al/wsenHsI

Call me crrrraaazzzy, but something feels funky:

That's our member behind the wheel. He was pulled out of the cab and suffered shock and physical injury to his arm, back and head. The whole city is elated about our hometown team — and that includes drivers who watched the game last night at airport lots while waiting for the next fare, listened on their radios while cruising for the next job, and huddled at hotel lines with the same heart-stopping anxiety that turned into the most beautiful joy. Pulling the cab driver out of his seat, stomping on and shattering his hood turned our joy into a nightmare. When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker. He wasn’t out there for a joy ride, he was working to make ends meet and to get his fellow New Yorkers home safely. Cabbies pay just to go to work. They pay for their cars — whether through loans or leases. Drivers need safety on the job, both in the quiet moments of ordinary days and in the middle of public celebration. Shame on anyone who turns these joyful moments into nightmares for fellow New Yorkers.

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children. History's first trillionaire.

They requested a permit for between 500-999 people. City granted it for 999 people. What’s not fair is their proposal.

You can’t fill your gas tank but this family will inconvenience an entire city to watch a basketball game that costs a down payment on a house to attend.

NEW: Kalshi now says it prohibits paid creators from calling into question the integrity or accuracy of an election, legal ruling or official determination in connection with an election. It follows Kalshi cracking down on paid affiliates who were spreading misinformation about California's election. Polymarket has not responded to questions about whether it is acting on paid affiliates amplifying election misinfo, nor if it has any rules against it.

The wildest thing about both Bari Weiss hiring Nick Bilton to run 60 Minutes is that, frankly, no one should ever hire a columnist to do anything other than write columns. I say this as someone who writes columns for at least part of my living.

Fans lucky and/or rich enough to get into Madison Square Garden will be subject to biometric surveillance. If they're on one of many enemies' lists, patrons could be followed throughout the arena -- including in and out of the bathroom, as our @WIRED investigation showed.
