@campbellclaret Fair Point: did he construct a dodgy dossier to lead his nation into war? You and your socialist government did.

[dphole @dphole]

@JammersMinde @Lowkey0nline Of course he forgot that. Apologists of terrorists always forget.

@Bushra1Shaikh Capitalism is a success story.

Socialism is a public policy discussion.

[dphole @dphole]

@PulaRJS But he won’t be an antisemite, terrorist apologist.

One where entrepreneurs create cashless pay systems, green cars, self landing rockets and an internet system that connects developing countries.
That said, sorry to hear NHS nurses are “starving”; can you source the evidence of that please? Biggest humanitarian disaster since live aid.

@RoKhanna Whose money is the federal government (or city and state for that matter) spending?

[dphole @dphole]

@SenWarren He got rich by creating business and jobs. You got rich by being in Congress.

@RichardBurgon Has your spine been fractured by a terrorist?

[dphole @dphole]

@kennardmatt I agree. Fractured spine. Good to see the criminal who did that going down. I think that’s what you meant.

[dphole @dphole]

@DrNeenaJha One word needed: guilty

[dphole @dphole]

@malonebarry @1970Cabbage criminals imprisoned

[dphole @dphole]

@PulaRJS @1970Cabbage Breaking a spine is barbaric. Antisemitism is barbaric. Being supporters of terrorists is barbaric.

@GavinBarwell @LordAshcroft If the elite in Britain spent one tenth the energy into governing Britain effectively as they do on advocating for Britain to be governed by a foreign power, Britain would be Great again.

[dphole @dphole]

Whether in the US or the UK, politicians who create nothing, contribute nothing and understand nothing about entrepreneurship line up to pontificate on how to spend money they don’t generate. How Mr. (never had a job) Mayor do you tax unrealized assets: exactly, without confiscation and coercion? The socialist playbook across the world.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

@StevenEdginton @jfwduffield That’s a DC issue, New York bars filling up. Everyone knows it’s happening.

Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.

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.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.
