@Mr_Andrew_Fox @BillAckman Totally agree @RussFinkelstein

Sam Harris has written the best thing you’ll read today. open.substack.com/pub/samharris/…

@Kochara13 @elonmusk @SMB_Attorney @BrandonMBlum had a sign like this in 2009 when he lost his shirt lolol @multifam_VTIGUY

“Funding round completed 6pm on Christmas evening in 2008. Last hour of last day possible, as investors were leaving town that night & we were 3 days away from bankruptcy. I put in all money I had, didn’t own a house & had to borrow money from friends to pay rent.“ — Elon Musk

Antonio Gracias lent Elon Musk $1 million in ‘08 to save SpaceX from bankruptcy for 7.2% of the company. It’s now worth $90 billion, making it the single greatest investment in the history of the world. People over focus on Musk and forget the wealth he’s created for others.

@0xmagiclines Are you a buyer at any price? I sold a huge position a few weeks ago and looking to get back in, preferably at the exact bottom 😂

@0xmagiclines Didn’t Sayloe already capitulate ?

Sell me all your ethereum:native under $700 and I will become a generational bag holder again. I look forward to quote tweeting this in the year 2030 when the $20k price targets ramp back up Until then we continue to buy up-only AI stonks and wait for Saylor to capitulate

When I was in my 20’s I was on a TV show. When Karen Bass was in her 20’s, she was training in terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare with communists in Cuba. Back when the LA Times was still in LA, and used to tell the truth…

Thomas Massie is an American hero. I will never vote for a Republican presidential candidate until this party is burned to the ground and built anew Absolute travesty

@0xmagiclines Bruh

The bottom on $BTC is not in This chart is bearish AF I think we tag the FVG above and ultimately trade sub-50 Chart looks terrible even for HTF buys right now. Your money is better invested somewhere else IMO Bottom prob in the box later this year or next year

@JohnMTillman @naval @ZohranKMamdani Privilege populism @RussFinkelstein

Watching @ZohranKMamdani's oafish, unprovoked attack on Ken Griffin blow up in his face in real time tells us so much about how contemporary leftism has been reconfigured by its elite practitioners. Firstly, Mamdani is not a "have-not." He is a Bowdoin graduate, the son of a Columbia professor and an internationally celebrated filmmaker, whose path to a New York City mayoralty ran through exactly the credentialed-creative pipeline that produces most of his voters. His base is not the working class. It is the downwardly mobile but college-educated, who were promised a particular kind of life by their degrees and are furious it didn't arrive, and who have decided the people standing between them and that life are not the radicalized professors who sold them seductive fictions or the ideologically captured universities that took their money, but a hedge fund manager in Miami. This is what I'd call Privilege Populism. The aesthetics of class struggle, performed by people whose parents or grandparents technically already won the class struggle, but with the appropriated symbolism recast in the direction of people who won it slightly more. It is war between the "haves" versus "have-mores," as some others have put it. The Mamdani's inciting video, gleeful in its innumeracy about about whether a $500 million pied-à-terre tax can actually fund anything it claims to, defiant in its ignorance about the dynamic effects of such taxation on human behavior and wealth outmigration, is the genre's mature form. Griffin's response is the part worth watching. He didn't argue or issue a statement offering a philosophical defense of capitalism. He simply pointed to his Miami construction project and said: this is the way. Then he said the part that should make every blue-state mayor uncomfortable: that what's happening in New York is "triggering the trauma I went through in Chicago." I watched that trauma play out for twenty years. Progressive politicians perform to excite the grievances and resentments of credentialed creatives, the productive class that subsidizes the city quietly relocates, the tax base hollows out, and the people who stay behind look at the resulting societal decline around them and misinterpret it as proof that they must vote even further to the left than before in order to improve things. In a warped but unignorable way, liberal mismanagement of states like Illinois and New York helped nurse the conservative governance triumphs of Florida and Texas. The Privilege Populists never figure this out, because the point is never truly to improve the lives of the "have-nots." It's to *perform* therapeutic acts of Resistance for them, on camera, against "villains" who can afford to leave and do.

@EverIntrigued @EricLDaugh My condolences @RussFinkelstein

@EricLDaugh NYC fell for the con man.

🚨 OMG. Ugandan Mayor Mamdani just stunned New Yorkers by all but ADMITTING DEFEAT, begging for a state bailout due to the budget crisis He’s also DELAYING the city budget “We need new revenue!” 🤡 You got SWINDLED, NYC! He can’t pay for free sht!

@EYakoby I refer all my Geneva convention questions to the expert @RussFinkelstein

So it’s a violation of the Geneva Convention for Trump to post a tweet, but the entirety of Iranian parliament chanting “Death to America” while burning American flags isn’t? Weird.

Ilhan Omar’s net worth went from 30 million to $110,000 due to an accounting mistake. Thats a PRETTY BIG mistake. Thats like “marrying your brother” kind of mistake.

@TheBabylonBee @RussFinkelstein save me a spot !

Mamdani Says City-Run Supermarket Will Be Ready In 3 Years But Recommends Getting In Line for Bread Now buff.ly/a6BFO8f

Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes.

@__Injaneb96 @BillAckman True, but not surprising @RussFinkelstein

The double standard is impossible to ignore. When a Muslim man threw handmade bombs at a group of protesters while shouting "Allahu Akbar," your first instinct was to blame and label the protesters you disagree with. You downplayed the attack by calling it merely "an explosive device," with no mention of the perpetrator’s religion or the religious chant. Yet in this latest case, you immediately led with the fact that the suspect was a member of a "Jewish" group. This selective framing reveals a clear bias. You apply one standard to one group and an entirely different one to another. Such blatant inconsistency is reprehensible.

@TheRabbitHole @RussFinkelstein get out your pen and paper and take some notes lol

Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone. Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

@0xmagiclines .... uhh... wut?

I've been pretty vocally bearish on btc for the last few weeks but it seems pretty clear to me that it's likely going higher for the time being I closed out shorts today for a modest W Being short in this environment on any sort of leverage has also been hell Would've been richer/more sane under Kamala

@WallStreetApes Is this a big deal for you @RussFinkelstein or does it just come down to whether or not she delivers to you some free stuff?

This is absolutely insane Journalist Angela Rose investigates Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar’s consulting headquarters who claims to manage $60 billion in assets She goes into the building, walks every floor They DO NOT EXIST. (Holy Sh*t) “We are going to be infiltrating Ilhan Omar's sketchy consulting headquarters that claims that they have $60 billion in assets under their management. Yet they are located out of a co-working place called WeWork. This company is called Rose Lake Capital and it is co-owned by Ilhan Omar's husband Timothy Manette. And similar to the winery in 2023, it made up to $51,000 and it had a sudden and very suspicious increase in net worth up to $30 million in 2024” “I walked by every single office in this building and everyone has their logos proudly displayed on the wall. I asked around for Rose Lake Capital and people were not familiar with it. I looked at every logo and Rose Lake Capital did not have an office here.”

@jasonjosephlee Seems like the local ADU boom has saturated the market with 1s an 2bds. Need some operators to get clipped so the pipeline of adus stops. But I have a 1000sf 3 bed for rent and I’m getting crazy demand.

People in real estate are dropping like flies right now So many brokers are starving So many syndicators hanging up their cleats So many service providers are begging for work

@libsoftiktok This guys finally on my radar @RussFinkelstein what a joke

The ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt says most of the violent extremist related events in the past 25 years have been perpetrated by right-wing extremists The ADL is a joke
