My Final West Take:
I don't think he had some elaborate master plan.
I think he was fantasizing about Amanda's boobs for ages and saw an opening, said whatever he needed to say to see them, figured they'd NEVER get caught... and then watched his entire life explode 🤣
And now he's unemployed... the guy really played himself 💀

It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity
Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet.
The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Not sure if any other pumping moms know this but just keep your pump parts (obvi not the battery part) in the fridge in between pumps and wash them once a day. They really don’t need to be washed after every single pump. That’s gonna make you want to kill yourself
1. Your parents are not background characters — the clock on them is running faster than yours. That phone call you're postponing? Make it today. One day you'll have all the time in the world and nobody to give it to.
2. Sit with someone you love and talk with no phone in the room. Ten minutes of full attention is rarer in this century than a diamond, and it gives the other person something money cannot — real presence, the most generous thing you own.
You legit have every emotion represented:
Pooh = Joy
