@ashleevance@SpaceX@elonmusk I bought Tesla stock after reading your book and it has made me fairly rich, with a huge side order of drama along the way.
@farzyness@DavidSacks Let's skip the investments at insane valuations and just tax their profits at the normal corporate tax rate. They would never distribute dividends to citizens equally, all their power comes from handing out the money.
@dallasteslaclub Seems like they could solve the drama by just letting the tiny fraction of people who really care download it immediately. I bet it's less than 5% of the fleet that even follows this stuff at all. Make it an easter egg where you hit the advanced button 10 times in a row.
@CynicalPublius No, you don't understand. They watched a documentary called "Home alone", and know exactly the type of life the average American lived in 1990.
@mikepat711 It would be cool if the end of line QA for the bot was to go work the line for an hour building the bots behind it, then be replaced with a fresh bot and head out to Shipping.
@FCNightingale That's a mess, but on the bright side, "Foreigner's buying up all our real estate." Worked out pretty sweet for the guy who sold that building in 2014, and pretty bad for the foreigners.
@HedgeDirty That's why I would like to see the bottom 50% incentivized to care a lot about fiscal responsibility. I'm very willing to compromise on 2% deficits being the line instead of balanced.
@HedgeDirty Republican run states show how easily it can be done, with a better quality of life for their residence than the budget disaster states. Congress could do it in a second if their reelection depended on it.
@HedgeDirty I think the rule should be that if Congress balances the budget, and doesn't raise taxes on the rich, then the bottom half pay's nothing. Otherwise the bottom half that pays nothing will just keep voting to raise taxes.
@bradsferguson At least a few quarters to let Space X valuation be exposed to the same beating of the public markets as TSLA is. The valuation now is being set by VC funds with a huge incentive to pump it to the moon pre IPO.
