Scottie Pippen made a valid point.🔥

“My problem is more so with LeBron. If you are the greatest player, if people are saying you are the greatest player, or if people are saying Michael Jordan is the greatest player, why do you need to say it? Michael Jordan has never ever said he’s the greatest player to ever play the game. Why? He’s respected all the other players before him. So, for LeBron to say that, he’s sort of pulling himself out of it because you can’t say you’re the greatest player. You have to allow your peers and the world to say that.”

All of us NBA fans 100% agree with Scottie Pippen's opinion.

Perhaps we should give people a choice:

1. Collect social service X, Y or Z for $100

OR

2. Pass on social service X, Y or Z, and deposit $25 into your @InvestAmerica24 account

Kinda like Amazon will give you an incentive to pass on two-day delivery and/or box all your stuff up into one box.

The World Cup is more than a tournament. It’s a reminder of how sports can bring people, cultures and communities together.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

Which company has done / will do more good for humanity as a species?

If only one of them is around in 50 years, which one do you want it to be?

Never give up

This week in Southern California, the lifeguards absolutely kicked ass.

I saw multiple serious incidents where they clearly saved someone’s life. Their skill and courage are easy to take for granted until you see them in action.

Tip of the cap to all of you.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The best advice I always give to newly exited founders:

Open a Vanguard account.

Not Fidelity. Not Schwab.

Vanguard.

'Smart advice,' You might think. 'They do have the lowest fees..'

Wrong.

Their interface is so awful, you will never trade..

Has made my clients millions.

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.

He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

@Scaramucci this is awesome! I also remember bumping into you at the Harvard Club maybe a decade back when visiting NYC. Is the club still on your rotation?

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

I was an uptight 32-year-old who'd just left Goldman.

Barely any money when I started my own business.

So naturally my pompous little ass joined the Harvard Club — I wanted people to know I went to Harvard.

Four years of breakfast meetings, prospect after prospect.

Meanwhile Joaquin is busing my table every morning.

We'd chat often and I tipped well.

One day he comes over and says — Mr. Anthony, you manage money, right? We've had a personal injury situation.

My family just came into $35 million. You've always been kind to me.

Would you manage it?

The guy busing my table had a higher net worth than I did.

Be good to people. All of it comes back around.

Certainly fascinating, but one thing stood out to me. The idea that an early stage company should just automatically respond to customer requests by using AI to add features to the product is a recipe for disaster IMO. The end result will be Frankenstein code bases that don't really satisfy anyone. Startups succeed when they have a clear vision that is influenced by customer feedback. Keep the roadmap - use AI to execute on it faster and to understand customer needs and feedback better. Don't delegate such a key aspect of what makes startups great to AI.
