Thiel tells a story about pitching SpaceX to Buffett and Buffett rejects the company saying something like “I won’t invest in Mars but I will invest in Mars Bars because if we do get to Mars they’re going to eat chocolate there”
Sam Bankman-Fried is the greatest investor of all time
Cursor just got bought by SpaceX today. SBF invested $200k into Cursor in 2022
He also invested in:
2021- Anthropic: $500M → ~$75B
2022- Robinhood: $648M → ~$5B
2022- Genesis Digital: ~$1.15B → ~$3B
2022- SpaceX exposure: ~$100M → ~$10B
That means if he weren't in jail today and still owned all this equity, he'd be worth ~$100 billion
But because he got a greedy and put customer funds into crypto, he had to divest from all those positions at cost
He'd be top 20 richest people in the world. Now he's just trying not to drop the bar of soap
SpaceX just acquired Cursor for $60B

"Hey kids, we've kicked away the ladder so even a part time job at JD Sports is out of reach, you'll never own a home, and you're at the back of the queue for housing after the millions of low IQ third-worlders we're replacing you with. We need you to put this yellow bib on and pick litter or go die in a ditch in Ukraine. It's character building and it's time you gave something back to the country that's given you.... well, fuck all really, but all the same, the regime demands your obedience."
🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
A mother stepped in front of an armed Black male robber to protect her son…
…AND HE SH0T HER IN THE HEAD AS SHE RAN AWAY!!!!!
Read that again… as she RAN AWAY.
Her name was Jean Gragg, she was 40 years old.
Her son had arranged to sell a watch on Facebook Marketplace.
The buyer came to their own home in South Bend, Indiana.
Police say that 18-year-old buyer, John Ford, pulled out a gun, said “I need it,” and tried to rip the watch out of the son’s hands.
Jean did what a mother does… she stepped BETWEEN them.
She put herself in front of the gun and chased him off her property.
Then, police say, surveillance video shows the coward turning and firing at her MULTIPLE TIMES as she turned around and ran back toward her house.
He sh0t her in the head.
He threw the gun over a fence and ran.
On Saturday, Jean Gragg sadly passed away.
He is now charged with M*RDER.
WE. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. LIVE. LIKE. THIS!!!!!!!!!
Say her name. Jean Gragg.
Europeans and Japanese spend one week in the US for the World Cup and become more American than Indians and Haitians who have spent decades here
Much to ponder
One of the great ironies about the #FIFA World Cup in America is that European patriots can celebrate their national pride and wave their national flags without fear of arrest or persecution by police.
Think about that for a second or ten.
These people have been in the country for a week and have already shown more love, respect, and appreciation for this country than any leftist born here will ever show in their lives.
the elon musk trillionaire discourse is giving me existential terror like there are actually just hundreds of millions of people in the west who think wealth is this *thing* that’s just *there* which people take from. these people will ruin our lives if we don’t deal with them
Irish libtards would have mega corporations destroy the Irish countryside with massive apartment blocks if it allowed them to import more migrants.
The left's environmentalism, anti-capitalism, etc. are all just false pretenses for the nihilistic destruction of white nations.
UK police ask people not to share a video of a Black teenager choking a white man and throwing him off a motorcycle
The 16-yo was trying to steal the bike. The victim survived
The teen is in custody, but is not expected to serve prison time
You can have whatever opinion you want on economics and still be on the left, but if you say "young white girls shouldn't be raped and murdered by foreign men", you will be expelled from the left.
Therefore young white girls getting raped and murdered by foreign men is what the left is.
It goes way beyond gender discourse, this is the whole engine of liberalism
>identify a human relationship under tension
>offer a commodified, legible, transactional version of that relationship to the weaker party
>pay for it by coercing the more powerful party
>win a client, neutralize a rival power structure
here's what will happen.
- u16 ban passes, platforms must verify all ages
- kids use VPNs, government bans VPNs
- age verification infrastructure already exists, its scope gets broader, more invasive, more extreme
- Online Safety Act forces backdoors into encrypted messaging, E2E encryption dies, gov can read everything you ever send
- CBDC rolls out, your internet passport and financial passport become the same document
- anonymous accounts posting "wrongthink" are now identifiable + prosecutable
- the generation that grows up with this doesn't remember it being any other way
- George Orwell was right about everything
- it's over
