TIM DILLON on the Thomas Massie election: "I don't know how you run a country where people can just dump $32 million into a race" "What it's showing you is that if you spend enough money, you can just create any reality you want" "No one knows who the hell the other guy is" "This guy [Massie] who's like, 'Release the Epstein Files. Hold people accountable. Prosecute pedophiles. Get out of foreign wars,' that guy loses to a guy who's like, 'Let's cover up the Epstein Files, let's not prosecute pedophiles, let's go to war, with your kids'" "You would think just platform to platform that's a tough sell" "[Gallrein] was just handpicked. Came out of nowhere" "[He] was like, we gotta get kids back into the military. We gotta get them to Iran. Now. Now, you would think that's probably not a super popular idea—let's bring back the draft" "However, if you spend enough money in American politics, you can create any reality you want"

It's almost impossible to view these people as anything other than insecure downwardly-mobile losers afraid of competition from more talented immigrants.

The real reason Elon Musk wins has nothing to do with intelligence. There are thousands of people smarter than Musk. Better engineers. Better physicists. Better programmers. Better managers. He has said this himself publicly and he means it. His actual edge is something nobody wants to talk about because it can't be taught in a business school or summarized in a framework. He has an abnormally high pain tolerance for chaos. Not physical pain. Psychological pain. The kind of pain that comes from having three companies on the verge of bankruptcy simultaneously while your wife is leaving you and the entire internet is calling you a fraud. The kind of pain that makes normal founders sell, quit, pivot, or break down. Musk doesn't just tolerate that pain. He functions inside it. His decision-making quality doesn't degrade under pressure. It stays constant. Rocket explodes: make calls, fix it, next launch. Stock crashes 40%: ignore it, keep building. Media turns against him: ignore it, keep building. Wife leaves: process it on the factory floor, keep building. His biographer Ashlee Vance described watching him receive devastating news about a rocket failure and a Tesla production crisis within the same hour. Musk processed both in real time, made decisions on both, and went to dinner. Not because he didn't care. Because compartmentalization is his operating system. This is the trait that separates founders who build billion-dollar companies from founders who build hundred-million-dollar companies. Not intelligence. Not vision. Not connections. Pain tolerance for sustained chaos without performance degradation. You can learn strategy. You can hire intelligence. You can build connections. You cannot install a nervous system that doesn't flinch when everything is on fire. The question isn't whether you're smart enough to build something extraordinary. It's whether you can keep functioning when the building is burning and everyone is screaming and the answer is due in 10 minutes. Most people can't. That's not a criticism. It's biology. The few who can end up running the world. Not because they deserve to. Because they're the only ones still standing when everyone else has left the room.

We're seeing a lot of misinformation about late night TV shows, so here's what we know. No, Colbert's show was not "losing money." It was the number one rated show and made millions from advertising and streaming every episode, but not as much as it was 10 years ago. Every show pays scale for celebrities to appear, because they promote their movie or TV show, it's in their contract. Without networks pushing their movies through late night shows, they actually do lose money.

JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”
