Reminder that most revered economic boom in U.S. history was the 1950s. Middle class exploded. It’s the “again” in MAGA…
And the top marginal income tax rate was … 91%. You read that right.
91%
@KatieMiller I remember that time when Masa, instead of putting $12B into Tesla for a 1/4 of the company to help me take Tesla private, instead invested the money in WeWork.
That was dumb.

WHO MADE THE TOP 3? 👇
🚨 The IMF warned about an AI crash. But the reality is getting terrifying.
On October 13, the IMF warned that an AI-driven selloff could trigger a much bigger global financial crisis.
And less than a month later, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has already crashed nearly 32% from its all-time high.
But the IMF's warning goes far beyond falling stock prices.
It identified massive financial commitments across just 14 AI deals:
• $300 BILLION in equity investments.
• $650 BILLION in debt.
• $1.4 TRILLION in future revenue commitments.
If AI spending slows, companies could struggle to repay their loans, investors could face huge losses, and forced selling could spread across financial markets.
The IMF's severe stress scenarios raise even bigger concerns.
In a scenario combining an AI crash with bond market and energy shocks:
• Global GDP growth could fall 3 percentage points below expectations.
• Global unemployment could rise 3.5 percentage points.
• Inflation could jump by more than 4 percentage points.
• Banks holding 22% of global banking assets could fall below regulatory capital requirements.
These are hypothetical stress scenarios, not predictions.
But semiconductor stocks are already in a bear market, AI companies are facing enormous financing commitments, and higher bond yields are adding more pressure.
The IMF warned that an AI crash could spread beyond tech stocks and threaten the wider financial system.
With the selloff already underway, the concern is whether losses start spreading to lenders, banks and the broader economy.
Watched a Japanese anime where a father had sex with his 15-year-old futanari daughter, and it was actually the daughter who deliberately seduced the dad. Why is Japan so weird?
By the way I lied because what I actually watched was the American TV show House, M.D.
