“At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.”
― Elon Musk
Elon Musk just said paying the SEC $20 million was "like someone holding a gun to your kid's head".. and he had no choice..
he says the $20 million fine was not a confession.. it was a ransom..
his CFO warned him the banks would pull Tesla credit lines if he fought back.. so he paid.. stepped down as chairman.. and Tesla paid another $20 million..
he called it a hostage negotiation..
now the part you missed..
he says not once did the SEC go after the hedge funds lying about Tesla on live TV..
his theory is simple.. low paid SEC lawyers want a trophy.. then a high paying job at the same firms they never touched..
George Stigler named this in 1971.. regulatory capture.. the watchdog ends up serving the people it watches..
then look at what happened next..
October 2022.. the man they tried to muzzle over ONE tweet bought Twitter for $44 billion..
February 2023.. a San Francisco jury unanimously cleared him in the shareholder case over that tweet..
they fined him for a tweet..
he bought the app

Jack Ma told Elon Musk humans will always be smarter than machines.
Musk’s reaction says everything.
"Computers may be very clever, but human beings are much smarter. We invented the computer. I've never seen a computer invent a human being."
Ma's argument was simple.
Computers are tools. They calculate faster, remember more, but humans still hold something machines don't: experience, judgment, wisdom.
Musk clearly didn't buy it.
"What would be an example of something that humans are better than a computer at?"
Watching this exchange now feels completely different than it did then.
AI agents aren't just calculating anymore. They're writing code, analyzing documents, planning tasks, deciding what to do next on their own.
METR found that the length of software tasks frontier agents can complete autonomously has historically doubled roughly every seven months, with signs of even faster progress through parts of 2024.
That's where Ma's argument starts to buckle.
For decades, technology automated what humans did. AI is starting to automate what we assumed required a human to think.
And companies were already learning to create enormous value with almost no people before this wave even arrived.
Instagram sold for $1 billion with 13 employees. WhatsApp sold for $19 billion with 55.
Now picture what happens when a small team can direct hundreds of machines that never sleep, never take a salary, never need an office.
The question was never just which jobs disappear.
It's what happens to the money once fewer humans are needed to create it in the first place.
That's the question behind 2028: The Economy Without Humans.
Who gets the money when machines do the work?
🚨 THIS IS HUGE NEWS FOR AMERICAN RANCHERS, WORKERS, AND FAMILIES! 🇺🇸
Just weeks after Tyson abruptly announced the closure of its Joslin, Illinois beef plant—affecting nearly 2,700 workers—an independent Iowa packing plant is preparing to fire back up.
Daisy River is working to hire many of the skilled workers displaced by the Joslin closure, including people who dedicated 20, 30, and even 40 years of their lives to the beef industry.
Now, the American Rancher Alliance is in the early stages of aligning with https://t.co/puzimsDxsf, launched through the partnership of Jason Birt, legendary Super Bowl–winning coach Jon Gruden, and Tom Zenner.
Together, we are working to build something America desperately needs: an independent, American beef supply chain that supports American ranchers, independent packers, American workers, and American consumers.
And right now, you can help support this movement while filling your freezer with American beef!
🥩 One-eighth, one-quarter, half, and whole beef shares
🥩 Just $8.99 per pound before shipping
