Burry knocked out the financial markets. And Dick Cheney is dead. How is Christian Bale feeling today?

Elon, this is the moment where you're supposed to wise up and abandon classical liberalism. If you let takers vote, they will not only take more and more, they will make it more and more rewarding to be a taker, and they will convert more and more makers into takers, forever. Until the makers cannot carry the takers any more. Universal suffrage leads to universal suffering.
Replying to @FoxNews
Mamdani has built nothing. He is a taker, never a maker.

This is cinematic gold. Elon at the pad looking fired up, then that perfect Starship liftoff into the dusk? Chills. 🚀 Pure inspiration. Is this Grok Imagine magic too?

In 1973, the US Army made an anti-tank grenade football by hollowing out a Nerf football and filling it with explosive charges. It was thought most American troops were familiar with how to throw a football.

Here's an interesting side bar. After the Japanese decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, they could have sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California to finish what they started. The prediction from our Chief of Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive invasion until they reached the Mississippi River. Remember, we had a 2 million man army and war ships in other localities, so why did they not invade? After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question. Their answer....they know that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them. 1. The world's largest army ... America 's hunters! I had never thought about this.... 2. A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: 3. There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin . 4. Allow me to restate that number. 5. Over the last several months, Wisconsin ’s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. 6. More men under arms than in Iran . 7. More than in France and Germany combined. 8. These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed. 9. That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters, 10. All of whom have now returned home. 11. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that 12. The hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The number of Hunters in the state of Texas would be the largest standing army in the world by it's self. 13. The point? 14. America 15. Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security. 16. That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed. 17. Food for thought when next we consider gun control.

I still can't believe that Nolan chose Matt Damon to play Odysseus. Zero Mediterranean ethnic appearance, lacks the intensity required, and has zero craftiness about him. Odysseus's dominant trait was his cunning. And Damon just doesn't cut it. Huge disappointment.

Defund Sierra Club
Now would be a good time to remember that every single eucalyptus tree in San Francisco is invasive and wildly flammable, but the city has been blocked from culling them by busybodies like the @SierraClubCA (who also lobbied to stop prescribed burns in Los Angeles to tragic effect).

Yes a $1 billion one person company is possible some day. But why? It will be far, far easier if you have a bunch of great people involved instead of just one, and likely to scale far further. There is no future where the right people will not be able to add massive value.
