Life's hard, Paddle hard!

As an engineer working on some of the world’s most complex cutting-edge technology programs the past forty years, I can attest to the fact that Elon’s capabilities in his CEO role are, if you're lucky, a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. Humanity is blessed, as are investors, to have him in the role. Let’s make sure the forces fighting humanity's advancement for their own selfish reasons don't succeed. Vote with the board.

A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC.

A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her.

It is time to federalize DC.

Here are some notes on the anti-billionaire ideology - and why it might do more harm than good:

At the heart of the frustration with wealth inequality - especially among younger people - are several overlapping ideas. Broadly, they stem from the following premises:

1. Zero-Sum View of Wealth:
Many who rail against “billionaire greed” subscribe to an implicit zero-sum assumption that if the rich are gaining wealth, it must be coming at the direct expense of everyone else. This perspective sees the economic pie as fixed; a bigger slice for billionaires means a smaller slice for ordinary people.

2. Moral Indictment of Profit:
There is also an underlying moral stance that profits at very high levels are inherently exploitative. Under this view, earning billions can only happen through unethical means - mistreating workers, hiking prices, or bending regulations.

3. Suspicion of Capitalism Itself:
An increasingly vocal segment of young people critiques market economies as rigged or fundamentally unjust. They note that, in their eyes, capitalism privileges capital (ownership) at the expense of labor (wages), and perpetuates a system that traps people in lower socioeconomic strata.

4. Focus on “Equality of Outcome” Over “Equality of Opportunity”:
The critique often goes beyond wanting fair chances for everyone. Instead, it emphasizes the relative gap between the top and bottom, rejecting the idea that big disparities can exist even when upward mobility is possible.

5. Conflation of Net Worth With Liquid Cash:
A common misconception is that billionaires have all their “net worth” in spendable forms. In reality, most wealth is tied up in assets (stock in a company, real estate, etc.). This fuels the anger because it appears that billionaires “hoard” money and choose not to share it.

Why These Ideas Can Be Misleading or Harmful

1. Zero-Sum Thinking Overlooks Wealth Creation
In many industries—think technology, medicine, communications—total wealth isn’t static. When someone creates a product or service that millions of people value (like smartphones, software, or life-saving drugs), it grows the economic pie. That’s not to say exploitative practices don’t exist, but simplistic zero-sum frameworks gloss over the dynamic, generative nature of innovation.

2. Misplaced Moral Indictment
Painting all (or most) large-scale profit as immoral doesn’t address nuances: there are ethical ways to build wealth (improving supply chains, investing in local communities, fair business practices) and unethical ways (sweatshops, unfair contracts, environmental destruction). Lumping all billionaires into the “bad guy” category overlooks differences between, say, a biotech founder who develops critical medicines versus a predatory lender.

3. Ignoring the Benefits of Investment
Much billionaire wealth can be tied to investments that themselves foster economic growth and job creation. When venture capitalists fund startups, they often take on significant risk. While it can lead to high personal returns, it also creates industries (and jobs) from the ground up. The ideology that all returns on investments are undeserved fails to account for the role that investment plays in building healthy economies.

4. Weakening Incentives Kills Innovation
When the system heavily penalizes individuals who become extremely successful, it removes the natural “carrot” that drives ambitious endeavors. Launching a startup or spearheading a major breakthrough usually involves massive risks — entrepreneurs sacrifice time, money, and personal stability on a venture that might fail. If the potential rewards are cut off or capped too drastically, fewer people will bother to take the leap. This doesn’t just affect a handful of hopeful billionaires; it reverberates throughout society as whole industries and transformative ideas (whether in medicine, clean energy, or technology) never get off the ground. In other words, when wealth creation stops being worthwhile, everyone loses out on progress, jobs, and critical innovations that improve lives.

5. “Taxing Billionaires Out of Existence” Derails Society
This approach doesn’t just strip personal fortunes; it severs the capital fueling innovation, startups, and major philanthropic efforts. Without high-stakes investments, lifesaving research and transformative technologies often stall. A scorched-earth method of “leveling wealth” might sound fair, but it ultimately starves society of the breakthroughs and funding necessary for widespread progress.

Yes, young adults face serious economic pressures - from soaring housing costs to student debt - but framing every concern as “wealth inequality” injects a needless negativity that can distort the real issues. A more constructive focus is keeping living costs down and creating a robust, opportunity-rich economy. That means controlling inflation - primarily through efficient government spending and lower national debt - while removing barriers to innovation and enterprise. By prioritizing stable monetary policy, competitive markets, and better education, we give more people the tools to thrive, rather than just harping on “inequality.”

While 10,000 degenerates partied on Crypto Island, nuclear war ended civilization.

Now, they must fend for themselves. And in the chaos and fear of survival, it's become clear - food is scarce.

Per @mister_ugolino, staff have been warped by the beauty around them and have forgotten the carnage about to occur on the island.

He is no longer letting staff refer to the project as 'Crypto Island.'
