How Musk Outmaneuvered Trump
Robert Kuttner,  Co-founder and Co-editor and Professor - Brandeis University’s Heller School  -  The American Prospect

Stephan: Have you noticed how many times Trump has either made such a bad decision, Gaetz’s nomination, that it failed, or was outplayed by an oligarch? I think this is going to go on for the next four years, as the oligarchs who own the Congress strive for what they want, not what is best for Americans.

Jeffrey M. Jones,  Staff Researcher  -  The Gallup Organization

_Stephan: Here is another aspect of the changing coherence consensus emerging on healthcare. Note particularly the difference by political party. Republican voters simply do not understand that they are going to be severely impacted by the chaos Trump, Musk, and Johnson are trying to get the country into. That said, I think a new coherence … ⌘ Read more

Wealth of World’s Richest Has Doubled Over Past Decade
Julia Conley,  Staff Writer  -  Common Dreams

Think about it: “The wealth of the four richest people in the U.S.—Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg—has hit $1 tril … ⌘ Read more

Btw about social: found very interesting thing about twitter:

The legal basis that X asserts in the filing is not terribly interesting. But what is interesting is that X has decided to involve itself at all, and it highlights that you do not own your followers or your account or anything at all on corporate social media, and it also highlights the fact that Elon Musk’s X is primarily a political project he is using to boost, or stifle, specific viewpoints and help his friends. In the filing, X’s lawyers essentially say—like many other software companies, and, increasingly, device manufacturers as well—that the company’s terms of service grant X’s users a “license” to use the platform but that, ultimately, X owns all accounts on the social network and can do anything that it wants with them.

People are jumping on Musk for ‘researching his jokes’ but, you know, if you researched your jokes you’d actually make better ones. Let’s be clear. The problem with Musk is not researching jokes. The problem with Musk is capitalism.

You try to put up a picture of Grimes and Elon Musk, but everything on your mood board becomes the same picture of Nicholas Cage as soon as you blink. Today is no different.

I love Wait But Why, and so it’s a real shame that Tim Urban has transformed into Elon Musk’s personal PR guy for the past few years, rather than writing on a wider array of topics.
