@ricefield Curious why you're bullish. I see a core business that has a 1% contribution margin and a bunch of hand waving by a mgmt team that appears to spend as much time pumping on whatever channel will listen as it does actually building.

@ericjackson Might want to take a look at user metrics...

@antoniogm With its single working runway?

@founderwithadhd The answer is never - due to super voting shares.

not a single person on this list was born a billionaire

the world that i want to build, live and vote for is a where this will continue to be true every generation, except the numbers keep getting larger

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

You don’t have to love Elon Musk to recognize what this headline says about us.

A country that spends more time criticizing wealth creation than encouraging it sends a clear message to builders: your success is tolerated, not celebrated.

Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. Headlines like this make us look like we’re not quite ready for that.

Surprised it took him this long 😂🤡

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

This week in Southern California, the lifeguards absolutely kicked ass.

I saw multiple serious incidents where they clearly saved someone’s life. Their skill and courage are easy to take for granted until you see them in action.

Tip of the cap to all of you.

Buffett never sold:

Coke
American Express
Proctor & Gamble
Kraft Heinz

Why would he sell Apple $AAPL at $150?
