“Your Boos mean nothing to me, I’ve seen what you people cheer for.” D.C. / LA / Austin. Back doing strategy work, passive investor with some short term options
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality… judiciously, as you will, we’ll act again… creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” - Karl Rove
Less than 14 hours until we get the last appearance of the Gratful Fed.
I would like to see you make a voluntary contribution of 5% of your family’s $200M net worth to the government for important healthcare, childcare, and jobs. Don’t worry, it’s just one-time. Your $10M contribution will provide free childcare for over 1,000 California kids for a year! Once you’ve made your personal contribution to a more just and equitable society, I’ll support all your other asset seizure ideas. But you gotta go first…
@PalmerLuckey@hxxntrr@mcuban Spot on. Access and relationships instantly. I wonder how much scrubDaddy would be worth without it.
The Ring example is even funnier since the founder eventually sold all of his equity and control of a company that is now on millions of homes.

Petraeus: There is a death zone of about 35 kilometers on the front lines in Ukraine. You do not drive a vehicle in it.
Commanders cannot visit their troops. There are no trenches, drones fly through trenches. Only survivability positions underground. You burrow in from the side. 1/
@SumanDas_DDM@CharlesMullins2 Yea I’m sure they haven’t thought about thermal management at all. Just a bunch of random dudes shooting lasers at shit. 😂
I think this is the only part that you get drastically wrong. Only in the last 100 years did turning an idea into a machine require a factory.
Henry Ford built the car mostly without one. Wright brothers built a plane almost entirely without one. Electricity. Microscopes. Telescopes. Pulleys and gears were all created for hundreds of years without factories.
The power has lived inside government and giant corporations for the last century but it is returning to where innovation originally lived, with the end user and creator.
@GulagInmate1918@tparsi JD Vance could camp out for a day along any American boarder.
That’s why we’re the ones with the very large military and economy that wouldn’t accept this reality… Israel is the country soon begging for support and trying to drag the U.S. into their bullshit.
if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…
@DeltaClimbs Someone has never heard of the Kessler Effect 😂 space dies first. No one needs to deny GPS or play GPS-AJ games when GPS hardware doesn’t exist.
DARPA is ambitious but decades away from saving constellations from effectors and exponential chains.
