Elon Musk saw through Instagram’s illusion and deleted it.
He told Joe Rogan he caught himself taking selfies for likes and thought, “What the hell is wrong with me?”
That moment made him realize the app is engineered to make everyone look hotter, richer, and happier than they actually are. The endless comparison game quietly breeds unhappiness and insecurity. It’s especially toxic for young people growing up on it.
Elon’s decision to step away shows real self-awareness and discipline — something Instagram actively works against.
Have you quit or heavily reduced Instagram and felt better for it? Or do you think the platform does more harm than good overall?

Something I just told a founder: Stay as small as you can for as long as you can. People who come to visit your office should always be surprised that such an important company has so few employees.
A trader must reach a point of no return.
It's a point beyond which they've invested so much financially, emotionally, personally that quitting isn't an option anymore.
I feel this point has to be reached before the real learning begins and progress starts to accelerate.
To be a consistently profitable trader, train your mind to feel nothing when provoked, and no emotion attached to any trade outcome.He who cannot be emotionally hijacked cannot be manipulated, and he who controls his state controls every game being played around him.
