Homeless, yachtless Elon Musk, who actually builds rockets, EVs, and neural tech trying to benefit humanity, should apparently cough up $50 billion in taxes on unrealized gains.
Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs ($15B inherited), Nancy Walton ($20B inherited), and MacKenzie Scott ($40B divorce) never built shit, never risked shit, and never shipped a single product that changed the world.
But they get the praise and zero scrutiny. Because they have the right politics.
(BTW ~25% of Walmart employees are on government benefits.)
Muscles only grow when you rest, after having stressed them during exercise.
Wisdom is the same. You can only grow wise once you cringe, having stressed your mind by being retarded.
The irony of left wing politicians bashing Elon for becoming a trillionaire is that SpaceX was literally started due to their own incompetence
By the early 2000s, NASA had effectively become a funding shell that was no longer doing what it had promised. Space missions were declining and the ambitions had dwindled down
But instead of congratulating Elon for his incredible hard work in reigniting this industry, they have now turned their own incompetence as a weapon
With this IPO, Elon must minted hundreds of new millionaires. Both employees and investors alike. There is not a single mention of this anywhere in their statements
You didn’t want Elon to become a trillionaire? How about you create competent government agencies that actually do their jobs so that private companies don’t need to fill the gap
But of course, that will never happen. The circus goes on
BUSINESSES ARE NOW USING PREDICTION MARKETS TO HEDGE PROMOTIONS LOL
A BAR IN NYC HAD A PROMO IF THE KNICKS WIN, THEY COVER EVERYONE’S DRINKS FOR THE NIGHT
THE BAR PLACED A $5K HEDGE ON KALSHI THAT PAYS OUT IF THE KNICKS WIN
THE BAR WINS EITHER WAY
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Bryan Johnson’s Best Health Hack Will Help You Sleep Better and Live Longer
“The single best thing I've learned out of everything I've ever done is (lowering) your resting heart rate before sleep is the best thing you can do for your health. Hands down.”
“Let's say it's 60 beats per minute. Your goal over the next month is to lower your heart rate by 10% or so. So if you're 60, be down at 54.”
“Here's how you're going to do it.”
1) No food for 4 hours before bed
2) No screens for 1 hour before bed
3) Amber and red lights in your house, no blues
4) No caffeine after 12pm
“The reason why your heart rate is so important is the lower your heart rate is, the better your sleep, the better your sleep, the better your willpower.”
“Did you know, if you don't sleep your prefrontal cortex goes offline and you lose your willpower?”
“So when you're trying to not eat the cookie, you're powerless. You can't do it. It's gone.”
“I promise you, this is the single best thing you can do for your health.”
