This all gets tiring after a while.
"Macro Strategist" calls me out saying I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to rates, completely unprovoked.
I show him how his own view on rates was drawing a parallel channel in 2023 telling people rates were going to -2 to -3% in 2024/2025, so he should have some humility and drop the ego.
He then deletes his post calling me out, deletes his old bad prediction (I took the screenshot because I thought he might accidentally do that), then blocks me.
If you are going to promote yourself as a macro strategist, have the courage to publicly learn from your wrong calls (as I often get things wrong).
Don't go around mocking others, and especially not when your own views have been dead wrong.
The reason I have not been as active on X the last few months is because I get tried of dealing with these gurus. I'm sure many of you have seen me deal with it. I decided I'd rather spend time with my kids than focus my time on dealing with relentless attacks from self-proclaimed gurus.
They just go around telling people they are clueless, but the minute you call them out and platform their bad predictions, they have no courage to deal with it.
Instead, they delete it all, block me, and they hope everyone forgets.
I hope this guy chooses to unblock me and can communicate in better ways. Just because his views on rates were wrong in the past does not mean it is never worthwhile to listen to his view on rates in the future. In fact, it's the people who get things wrong who learn the hard way, who often can improve and learn from their mistakes.
I've made mistakes in the past and publicly announce when I'm wrong.
Ego is what gets in the way of people becoming better investors.
This is what a black politician in South Africa said…
“We will kill white women, we will kill white children, and we will even kill your pets"
Violent language entering politics is a serious warning sign. When public figures normalize targeting civilians, it erodes the foundation of any society. South Africa built its identity on reconciliation and rule of law, and moments like this raise real questions about how far that standard is being tested.
Elites love turning @elonmusk into the villain, especially when he speaks about the reality of crime, division, and failing governance in the country he was born into. It’s easier to attack the messenger than confront uncomfortable facts.
There is a real problem when violent rhetoric enters public discourse and gets brushed aside or normalized. Any language that targets civilians, any group of civilians, is a red line. Calling that out isn’t extremism, it’s basic principle.
The real question isn’t why Elon Musk speaks up. The real question is why those raising concerns about safety, accountability, and equal protection under the law are dismissed, while dangerous rhetoric gets space to grow?
A country built on reconciliation cannot afford selective outrage.
The South African laws are literally super racist, plain and simple.
It’s not complicated: imagine if the law was called “White Empowerment”, instead of “Black Empowerment”! People would have a seizure 😂
South Africa now has more anti-White laws than Apartheid had anti-Black laws. Think about that for a second …
The current South African government has objectively implemented Apartheid 2.0. Shame on them.
South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black!
We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle.
Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied.
Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!
Crypto X is a carousel of sewage... the same bullshit narratives, the same clowns, spinning endlessly for dopamine and exit liquidity
What was once a rabbit hole for learning is now just a shithole of recycled noise
My friend Charlie Kirk was the best of America. A self-made man, a young husband and father, and a patriot, he was relentlessly positive about the future. He dedicated his life to making a difference with young people, drawing huge crowds everywhere he went. He was open to ideas and willing to debate anyone. That good-natured openness is what got him killed by an intolerant lunatic. Charlie was winning the debate, and for that, he had to be silenced, permanently. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Erika and his family.
