@IainMacBets Played with a guy yesterday that said he almost broke 80. He put three balls in the same swamp, on one hole.

You have a net worth of $232.7 million.

You can afford to write 77,500 families $3,000 checks.

Why is it always my money and never your money you want to hand out?

@SteveWiesnerSMB It’s the only sport I can think of that at any moment I can hit the exact shot as a professional. Today I hit a nut flushed baby draw five iron to 8 feet from 197 and drained the putt. It was exhilarating.

If a former meth cooking, drug dealer, prison convict, turned country rap star with tattoos on his face can’t make a relationship work with a single mom, former stripper & Las Vegas escort who asked for an open marriage, then who can?

@YakYak_Actual @MarcRyanOnAir Currently Freezing and sitting in a coffee shop in west Michigan. Our summers are phenomenal if you catch the right days. Theyre not as numerous as people believe

Elon isn’t the reason the Legos at my local Walmart are locked up.

@nypost I don’t see the big deal. They’re nearly 50 years old. Most people that age start getting separate bedrooms anyway. I’d 100% get a different bedroom in my house if I had one available.

[Brett Rickard @buzzatc]

@theghostofsf @nypost Of course they are, they’re like 50 years old.

@GoldsmithCory You should try real golfing next time.

I think we should auction off Elizabeth Warren’s house in Cambridge to feed illegal immigrants better in detention facilities.

🚨⛳️🇺🇸 #USA — Wyndham Clark showed up to the Rink at the Canadian Open with a USA Hockey jersey and the Canadian fans let him hear it after he birdied the hole 👀

“Boooooo!” 🤣

I’m not a big material possessions guy, but I am a snob about lakes.

Growing up on Lake Michigan and the inland lakes of Northern MI has ruined me. I need clear turquoise water and a sandy bottom.

Most US lakes are brown, murky, and full of seaweed.

No thanks.

Ro, you’re lying and you know it.

You compared a man’s net worth to a country’s GDP. A balance sheet to a year of output. You went to Yale. You learned the difference between a stock and annual output flow.

But being a politician and lawyer, you love to lie and gaslight the economic illiterates, it’s your entire business model.

You want a 5% tax on Elon to fund free trade school for every American.

Trade school costs $80B/yr, you can’t even fund a year.

Elon doesn’t have $55B in cash. It’s stock. You know this.

To pay, he sells roughly $70B of Tesla and SpaceX shares, and the sale itself gets taxed on top. SpaceX raised $75B at its IPO this morning at a $1.77 trillion valuation.

Imagine him selling that amount every year.

Ro isn’t taxing Elon. He’s taxing everyone who gas exposure to the market. Every pension fund and index fund on the planet gets wrecked. And given Ro, he’ll insider trade and short before the bill passes.

And for what? To rip capital from the best allocator alive and hand it to the most incompetent institution in human history. Elon turned PayPal gains into Tesla and SpaceX: 120,000 jobs, launch costs down 90%, two industries that didn’t exist, a $1.77 trillion company from nothing.

You’ve never built anything. You’ve never employed anyone. You’ve never created a dollar of value in your life. You collect a government salary and demand tribute from men who do what you can’t.

Your machine spends $7 trillion a year and still runs a $1.8 trillion deficit. It loses up to $521 billion a year to fraud. More than your entire tax raises. The Department of Education went from $34 billion in 2000 to $268 billion in 2024. 8x the money. Reading scores at multi-decade lows. Trade schools still unfunded.

You don’t lack money. You lack competence, and you want Elon to subsidize it.

You haven’t donated your wealth. You haven’t moved into government housing. Empty your accounts first, Ro. Then preach.

Elon’s options get taxed as ordinary income at the top rate when exercised. Over $500 billion in lifetime taxes, the largest tax stream from one human ever. You want $55 billion now in a way that craters the shares the $500 billion depends on. Your tax doesn’t raise money. It kills the companies, kills the jobs, kills the pensions, and torches a bigger check already in the mail.

You’re the monkey in the middle, Ro. You can’t build. You can’t allocate. You can’t even count. So you eat from everyone else’s pie and call it fairness.

@Skulledwedge Not even in the top 10 of the Chicago land area lol

Seeing a lot of millennials gloating about this. I’m sorry but if you actually think the boomers are going to take a 22% haircut on their Viking River Cruise checks I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

@JumeirahRory69 Chicago Golf Club. It’s a few towns over in the town I grew up in. Caddied at a few local clubs but have never been there. Would be a great honor just to see it.

@iamdiesel18 @BryanTweed16 I live 10 minutes from Wing Park in Elgin. It’s got some history but I’d never recommend it to anyone that’s looking for a good place to play. Genuinely confused.
