Technically his total wealth has declined to about $342 Bn, and technically that is only if he sold off all of his assets namely his Tesla stocks, at which point it would instantly become less than $342 Bn due to the market’s fast acting supply/demand price setting.

At any given time you should assume Musk has less than $30 Bn liquidity, which is still a fucking lot.

Also, he bought Twitter so you can say he spent a lot more than $300 to elect Trump. $300 was just his campaign contributions.

I foresee a non-zero chance that this could backfire and their new ever-expanding military budget gets used on smaller weaker nations and then as an excuse to divert funding away from services that people actually rely on.

I personally go by money velocity and natural inflation (as in creation of nonphysical money via debts) as indicators for good or bad economy.

When people spend money that they actually have, all is well. When people save money: they are afraid. When they spend money that they dont have:they should be.

Something people all over the world are starting to realize, as a new age of aggression is upon us, is that GDP is just a trade indicator which doesn’t quantify a country’s capability or assets.

With human rights on the chopping block I wish the average person was less greedy tbh.

Don’t get me wrong, cost of living are important issues, just maybe not more important than fighting fascism and climate change.

Trump, Trump, Jill Stein (David Duke doesnt like Israel)

That guy was in 1895, which is a hundred years after Ben Franklin suggested it, but neither of them were responsible because it wasn’t adopted until the early 20th century in Canada, Germany, Austria, and the USA roughly in that order.

I think France should retaliate in this specific situation but if their standard procedure were to take 100 eyes for an eye then the world would be burning.

Sounds like Casus Belli to me, lets fucking go

Wasn’t DST invented in America? How did it even get adopted by the EU?

I’m also seeing that it was formerly used in Russia, India, South America, and some parts of Africa, and it is still used in 4/5ths of Canada and 1/3 of Australia.

Well good for Japan and SK, fuck China, and bad for the entire rest of the world.

Sucks to suck, this timeline is in the find out phase.

Just Embargo even, idgaf about fossil fuels.

I said any productivity gains are offset by loss of quality and capability, and I actually think that’s especially true in your coding example due to large measurable increase in security flaws.

You gave a shit example and now you’re tripling down on it.

Lmao you really came back after that ratio?

Skill Issue

I think it is you who forgot what I said. AI is useless.

AI code has singlehandedly increased vulnerabilities across every industry because the shit code is pushed by people who don’t know what they’re doing.

Net Negative.

Yes, I suggest there was probable cause, welcome to the start of the conversation.

Your registration was being done automatically for every election. Registration is done for every election.

In theory they get super rich, but in practice the early adopters of AI seem to be hemoraging money as a result of it. It doesn’t actually make the bare minimun content so they end up hiring humans to fix their bullshit and the end product is worse than just using humans.

Nah AI is just garbo in general. Any productivity it gives has a noticible drop in quality and capabilities that result in net loss.
