Best breakdown of the various rightwing factions. Its going to be very intresting to see what comes next in the post Trump populist experiment the right has played with.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Where to begin with this?

I guess with the simple part. There are not two factions of Republicans and conservatives more broadly fighting for the future of the Republican party (and conservative movement). There are at least three, arguably four or five, depending on how we cut them.

They are (as five):

1) Establishment Republicans ("stodgy suit wearing conservatives")

2) RINO traitors ("Romney-esque")

3) "Middle MAGA" (Pro-America, common sense realist, hard-working, civically engaged patriots)

4) Woke Right/Post-liberal/paleoconservative radicals (they'll fight out their differences later)

5) Pragmatic neo-Establishment Republicans (think Ron DeSantis)

The most likely outcome will be a fusion between the Middle MAGA and Ron DeSantis types (3 and 5): solid conservatives and classical liberals who want solutions to our problems and to get things done. Many of the Establishment Republicans (1) will come along. This faction is mostly Gen X led, not Boomer, not stodgy, and real.

The RINO traitors and Woke Right (or post-liberal) radical (traitors) will kick and scream and try to ruin everything, and they'll do a lot of damage. Same as it ever was.

Tim is not a very good analyst. You can like his show if you want for entertainment purposes or to feel like you're hanging out with interesting bros or whatever, but his analysis is really poor. He doesn't have the talent for it.

@BrittRooted Most children rebel against controlling parents. Gavins son is definitely an example of that rebellion

I wish all Catholic schools would have these rules.

Mormonism is a bad religion theologically but a model religion sociologically.

@CorpoScum You fell for Ai rage bait

Disclosure Day was atrociously bad.

I mean, potentially one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

Multiple people got up and left the theaters, people were on their phones, fidgeting and completely uninterested.

Uninteresting, corny beyond belief, premise sucked. Acting was just bad. Music cringed me out.

This felt like a boomer blockbuster, and Steven Spielberg tarnished himself with this one.

Rough watch, if you can stay awake. Save your money.

SpaceX is now worth more than Canada

[X @XaviercMiller]

Idc what anyone says, to create wealth for this many people is hella inspiring. Only a hater could be upset at this.

[Nick Matau @nick_matau]

Yes Gavin... the system is rigged

Elon built companies... how did you buy this?

Dems will look you straight in the face and tell you this is evil while they advocate to steal more of your money to pay for hospice scams in California

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

[Natalie F Danelishen @Chesschick01]

Bernie Sanders and AOC haven't created a single millionaire.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires.
