@GerberKawasaki Problem is he is thinking this decade, while Elon is thinking much further.

This is not difficult math.

@PalmerLuckey Homos? What decade do you live in?

I am upset by WIRED cover story about the gay mafia supposedly running Silicon Valley. Not because their own stats show only 0.5% of venture dollars go to homos, but because my response during fact-checking led to them only referring to me as "a prominent defense-technology executive" @micsolana Will you please fix this? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Hollow Men American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider. By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants. These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition. In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken. Today, we have severed that link. We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses. If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived. This looting starts in the boardroom. We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year. Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor. And for what? Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love. They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders. And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk? We get the Delegation Economy. When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know. This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering. They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake. While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us. If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag. The time for polite governance is over. If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.

@ILA_NewsX @AGPamBondi Cool, why don't you personally go liberate them then? Join the Marines!

@AGPamBondi Nice work.

Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, and the United States Coast Guard, with support from the Department of War, executed a seizure warrant for a crude oil tanker used to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran. For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations. This seizure, completed off the coast of Venezuela, was conducted safely and securely—and our investigation alongside the Department of Homeland Security to prevent the transport of sanctioned oil continues.

@ryancohen Just turned on my N64 come on over

i challenge @greg16676935420 to a Mario Kart race

I appreciate Ryan doing an hour long interview answering questions about $GME and other topics. What you see is what you get…

@tbpn @ryancohen Better upgrade that live streaming equipment for this. Apes will be piling in.

@Chadders2607 They could short the warrants but there is a time limit. If the price goes above 32... quadrouple squeeze?

Logging for future reference. $GME

@ericDPT22 @LotteryStocks The answer depends on where you hold your stock. If it's through ComputerShare, they are the ones issuing the dividends so you will get it directly from them in your account. They will also give them to brokers, so if you hold in a broker, you need to see if yours does warrants.

@LotteryStocks Does this mean we get those added to our account? Like if we own 5k shares right now we get 500? Or do we have to talk to someone to receive them? Thanks

OH MY. $GME i hope everyone reading understands this $GME #GME

$GME WARRANTS, LET IT RIP! Warrant issuance hinted in the May 17 2024 #GME FORM S-3 filing. On the day of the filing, #UncleBruce speculated this could lead to the largest corporate-induced short squeeze ever!
