@seth_fin @VPA_KSH “…to his country…” yes. “For” this country… not even close. This place is a mess.

@DrOBrienMD Maybe they’ll try 98% hydrogen peroxide 😆

@JacqWitjes @joni_askola Yes. Money in politics is a big problem. Citizens United was an important turning point for this problem.

[CharlesOtt @cottoz]

@JacqWitjes @joni_askola His vision for a company isn’t the problem. His willingness to exploit government for his personal wealth is the problem. And yes, this government needs to be flushed.

@JacqWitjes @joni_askola Starlink is the company which could be headed by anybody. He didn’t invent the tech, and he’s not the only one capable of running the company. The concentration of wealth is the issue. History shows that it’s not healthy for societies.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

The world crossed a terrifying threshold yesterday when Elon Musk officially became the first trillionaire in human history.

This insane milestone is a symptom of a broken system, proving that the West must radically reform how it tackles wealth inequality before democracy is completely erased.

No human being should ever possess this level of power, particularly an unelected one. Musk has weaponized his massive fortune to dominate strategic state contracts, buy political influence, and control social media discourse. While his personal instabilities and toxic rhetoric make him uniquely hazardous, the core problem is structural. No single individual, no matter how wise or well-intentioned, should ever have the financial leverage to override the collective will of the public.

The ethical failure of this concentrated wealth is staggering. Musk possesses the resources to eliminate massive global issues overnight with a minuscule portion of his fortune, yet he actively chooses to do nothing. Worse, his interference in politics and dismantling of USAID have stripped resources from the world's poorest, contributing to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide.

Musk is securing his place in the history books, but it will be as a warning sign rather than an inspiration. A true democracy cannot coexist with a trillionaire class. If Western societies do not implement strict regulations to cap this absurd concentration of power, we are abandoning the concept of a democratic and fair society altogether.

@SeanOhhhh It looks like he has squinty eyes under his actual squinty eyes. Weird visual effect.

@giveashitnature @LyndonRosser @CaraCosmos Kudzu would be another example. It absolutely destroys everything in its area in the southern US.

@Truecrypto Buy and hold guys… this doesn’t apply to you. Don’t turn your HODL stack into a “trade” due to fear. The moral is to stick with the intent defined when you made the purchase.

@scottmelker I don’t think he did it as a favor to anyone.

@puckrin I don’t think he read that part of the book his ghost writer wrote.

@scottmelker Employees seeking better paying jobs ( probably in AI ) doesn’t say much about the ETH protocol.

@KingPinXRP @Sykodelic_ Bond rates spiked.

@jameslavish I thought the CEO attributed out of control gas prices.

@KobeissiLetter That's just sentiment.

@TimHannan It’s another $10B in addition to the $10B he took for his Board of Peace. Thievery.

@MilesTaylorUSA Pence did. Eventually.

@toiletkingcap The volume is thin as price moves up. This doesn’t feel natural. It’s certainly not a breakout without the volume.
