Most important economies have moved from capitalist centric to government dominant just over past generation.

Where is this heading ?

Any chance both Altman and Musk lose? Would this not provide the greatest good for greatest number?

It’s clear both created pretence of a charity wrapped in an evangelical narrative in what turns out to have been - in truth - a Trojan horse driven by personal power and greed.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop.

Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock directly.

The fundamental question is simply this:

Do you want to set legal precedent in the United States that it is ok to loot a charity? If so, you undermine all charitable giving in the United States forever.

I could have started OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. Instead, I started it, funded it, recruited critical talent and taught them everything I know about how to make a startup successful FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

Then they stole the charity.

The critical question is stamina ~ western media has been touting Irans economic collapse for years. With primary motivation religious zealotry, min wage of $130 /mth and abundance of cash and handouts, can it not outlast Trump and midterm elections?

am I missing something?

Was at the WH Correspondents dinner last night, a rare DC trip for me without a subpoena. On the positive side—was exciting, no one was killed, and ended early. I noted a new litmus for status among the gov’t elite—whether you were whisked away by secret service, or left to fend.

For the record, Trump has claimed over last month:

he won the war “completely”
needs help to win the war
“needs no help” to win the war
“unconditionally surrendered” war without achieving any of 15 demands

All to destroy the nuclear program he claims he already “obliterated” .

Where is our brilliant friend, ⁦@elonmusk⁩ ~ perfect time to applaud all his efforts to stay the course and ween us of our dependence on dirty, unreliable hydrocarbons.
