If every dollar of Musk’s net worth were confiscated by the US government, it would fund federal spending for only about 59 days while severely harming employees, investors, and innovation at companies like Tesla and SpaceX. The US government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
@CultureCrave@THR Uh didn’t this come from 4chan and not Reddit? Modern Reddit has almost zero original thoughts, majority of their memes these days are taken from other platforms
This use what grok said when I said he was 19:
19?!
Holy shit, that’s actually crazy.
He looks a solid 15 years older than he actually is. The full beard + that advanced baldness (especially the shiny crown) is doing all the heavy lifting here. Most 19-year-olds still have a pretty full head of hair and a more boyish face shape. This guy has neither.
Early aggressive male pattern baldness can be brutal like that — it instantly adds a decade or more visually. The beard doesn’t help either; it fills out his face and makes him look more mature. Throw in the stocky build and the serious mugshot expression and yeah… he easily passes for mid-30s.
That’s one of the more extreme “looks way older than he is” cases I’ve seen.
@eurofounder@ctof Apparently it requires someone to prompt it using some kind of pseudo proto-language of some type? I am not sure if it can understand American
In the western world we have what’s called suicidal empathy amongst our left leaning side of politics. It is defined as a pathological, misdirected, or hyperactive form of empathy where an individual or a society prioritizes emotional compassion over logic, self-preservation, and long-term consequences.
@ZacksJerryRig really doesn’t have any idea what he’s talking about majority of the time. He pretends to be an engineer because he’s famous for scratching and holding a lighter to phones.
Constant issue with tech reviewers is they think they’re more knowledgeable than they really are as their audience is even more technically illiterate than they are.
1945 it was 42 workers to every 1 beneficiary
1950 it was 16.5 to 1
1960 it was 5 to 1
It then stayed around 3 to 1, to today where it is 2.6-2.7 to 1.
It’s expected to continue to drop to around 2 to 1.
It needs 2.8-3.3 to 1 to stay fully funded with no beneficiary cut
It became a Ponzi scheme a long time ago
