Elon Musk xAI X Elon acquiring Elon

I really don't know what to do about people who are just this fundamentally broken epistemologically. If you can hear someone say we spent a billion dollars on a single survey and not immediately assume they're lying, you are quite literally not in touch with reality.

It's fascinating to me that 95% tax rates were completely socially acceptable in the 1960s, but a very anti-tax song like Taxman was also socially acceptable. Today *both* seem unimaginable. Why is that?

the state pays Harvard to do research for it. absolutely fascinating how many people seem confused by this

"What's trending and how do I cash in?"

friendly reminder, the majority of European YC founders enter the program on an ESTA 😇

It's crazy that people lost their mind of Nancy Pelosi's husband buying $NVDA call options -- which literally everyone in the world was doing over the last few years -- and here is Fox Biz reporting that Wall Street execs are getting early alerts on trade negotiations.

Wow, new dark pattern from X/Twitter. I’ve been paying for Twitter Premium since they started offering it. It’s been $16 for the past year+. Today I received an email receipt telling me I’d been charged $40 for X Premium Plus. I had signed up for Premium, but not Premium Plus.
