History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
I know every generation has their class struggles, but let me tell you about the summer of 1990 when Supersoakers hit the market and only a few kids could afford them and the rest of us were hunted for sport.
"Data from the Federal Reserve highlights that when the average Boomer household turned 35 years old, the generation already controlled 21% of all U.S. wealth. For context, Millennials owned just 3% of the nation's wealth at that exact same age milestone."
We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
Flock cameras don’t just grab your license plate.
They log:
• Dents/stickers/damage/decals on car
• Likeness of driver (clothing & facial details)
• Direction, speed, duration of time on roads
• Accompanying passenger count
These cameras are Orwellian & unconstitutional.
Children living near Driscoll's strawberry farms have a 38% higher childhood cancer rate than average.
But Driscoll's can't be sued for any of it.
They don't own a single farm, grow a single berry or apply an ounce of pesticides themselves
They are a genetics and marketing company making $3 billion a year, licensing plant patents to over 700 farms and taking a cut.
Their president said it himself: "Driscoll's is not involved in the fruit farming"
Researchers identified 13 pesticides linked to childhood cancer when sprayed within 2.5 miles of a home.
98.5% of those leukemia-linked pesticides were applied in Watsonville, California (Driscoll's main strawberry operation).
- Schools sit just yards from the fields
- 41,000 lbs of pesticides applied within 1 sq mi of an elementary school
- Pesticides linger in the air for up to 72 hours
Driscoll's is currently #1 strawberry in the U.S.

Someone said “Baby Boomers did that thing where you leave a single square of toilet paper on the roll and pretend it’s not your turn to change it, but with a whole society” and now I can’t stop thinking about it.
