Elon is absolutely right when he mentioned no one cared about negative events happening on the other side of the world 200 years ago. We were only concerned with negative news in our village. The issue we face today is that all news is instant and can be overwhelming. As an example, no one knew or cared about hurricanes running rampant through mostly uninhabited land half a world away 100 years ago but now, not only do we hear and see it live, we attribute it to our imminent doom as a planet.

Musk is such an unlikely MAGA hero. He supported, then voted for Clinton in 2016. He supported Yang then voted for Biden in 2020. Then he dumped the Democrats for supporting unions and the working middle class, which cut into his bottom line. He’s pushing for an all electric auto world, including legislation to promote that. Tesla’s stock is down by half over the last several years. The part that’s doing best is partnered with the Chinese government. Half the major advertisers on Twitter quit because of him. He promised free speech, then banned Ye, Trump’s latest bromance. He rapidly turned Twitter into being as irrelevant and as nonviable as Truth Social.

My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income.

For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

I know EXACTLY what Elon's talking about when it comes to ridiculously overstaffed internet companies. Back in the days of the bubble 20+ years ago, I used to work at the largest media company in my country as lead web designer of their web portal and it was both hilarious and infuriating how many people they had that did almost absolutely NOTHING (and even faked their overtime charts!), while myself and a few others actually carried the bulk of the work AND were also technical at multiple levels to multitask and do more than we had to. When I finally quit to join another company at 3X the money, it took them 2 months and 4 people to replace me and I believe they could barely keep 1 of them because they couldn't handle the work, nor they had the knowledge, skills, drive, management abilities and talent for the position. So I experienced first hand what Elon found when he performed due diligence on Twitter. Most of the large corporations are run by incompetent bozos and bean counters that have ZERO clue on who is who inside the companies they run.

Well just look at Google and Facebook, both are peer companies of Twitter and are now laying off thousands of people now that we are entering a economic downturn. Many of these laid-off people are now revealing they were often paid to do nothing seemingly for no other reason then to deny their talent to potential rival companies. These are monopolies maintaining their Monopoly by preventing future rivals from getting the talent they need to become a computer. Such behavior is not sustainable for a company but only needs to last long enough for the company to establish unassailable dominance.

Yep I used to get little bans all the time. Ended up getting a perma a few years ago and quit, until Elon bought twitter. Redownloaded same day as I knew he'd sort that nonsense. Final straw for me was some CCP loving communist, that in their attempts of trying to tell me less people live below the poverty line in china than the UK (my country), they got infuriated and called me a balding degen. That's because in my picture I had a shaved head, which I had done for a family member with Leukemia. But the intent was, shaming for male pattern baldness. So, as a rational human being, I called them a beluga whale, for appearing to be 500 pounds in their picture. That got me perma banned. Nothing for them.

Hmmm yeah but.. it also doesn't matter how much more ethical or efficient a company is. If lots of people hate it and it has less money to sustain it then it won't last. So he has to make it likable again by the left and right or at least Americans. Right now allot of SF people don't like twitter cos they are far left and they used it as political arena to defend their ideology and spread propaganda. He's locating it at the wrong place. And public support for a human and a company is instrumental. You can't thrive if people hate your product or your company. It's not strategically located neither rent cost affective for a company does not have walk in customers you don't have to pay high rent to be in prime location. Jeff bezos is better at renting warehouse in the middle of nowhere. Twitter does not need to be in a prime area. There's no reason why they should pay allot of rent for an internet company with no walk in customers. It could be in texas and still work. Other businessmen be like.
