@justasziem @TheTranscript_ his share from paypal is even bigger than 307 million lol that's the whole point of my reply

Elon Musk in this 2012 interview: " My proceeds from PayPal after tax were about $180M, $100M of that went into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity and I literally had to borrow money for rent." $SPCX $TSLA

@matterinthedark @TheTranscript_ Lol, was 1.5B the acquisition price or his share of the proceeds? Also, your own source confirms the OP's post lol

@justasziem @TheTranscript_ he earned around 150mil from zip2 and 1.5bil from PayPal so you do your dumb math now

@matterinthedark @TheTranscript_ Sale of PayPal vs Sale of Zip2. 2 different situations. Do you even read?

@TheTranscript_ lol then wtf is this x.com/LoudSolana/sta…

@bendee983 How do you know when you're good enough in, say, Software Engineering, to confidently start relying on AI coding agents?

Beware of the AI trap: - If you use them for tasks you already know, LLMs can be great sidekicks that amplify your abilities. You will be in control and will be able to identify when they're going astray and need to be steered back in the right direction. - If you use them for tasks where you have zero knowledge, they will give the semblance of knowledge and expertise. In reality, you will be at the mercy of whatever the AI does/says. You won't be in control and you won't know when the agent goes off track. My experience: If you want to use AI for a field that is new to you, first educate yourself (you can get help from LLMs to learn the basics, enough to be able to oversee the model's work). Don't walk blindly.

@JohnTeufelNYC @MikeIsaac "Literally the gulag" - being paid 300k and able to easily leave and move to another job in a prestigious company.

@MikeIsaac Can't believe some people have not learned the lesson that you shouldn't make work your purpose in life.

too busy with spacex this week but there's a shitstorm over at meta w/r/t morale a blowup at an internal meeting this week basically made zuckerberg send out a companywide memo to calm things down wired has more deets on all the furor wired.com/story/mark-zuc…

@NoLimitGains -5% doesn't sound as dramatic as TRILLIONS ERASED, I guess

🚨 THE MARKET TURNS RED, ERASING ANOTHER TRILLION

@sxmswrld Storyviewerships is wild 😭

dating in nyc is great bc where else can you spend $80 for 4 drinks and meet up twice before becoming storyviewerships for eternity

@mldiffley I think historocally the french had very bad English and were also self conscious about it. It would come off as rudeness. These days, at least gen z / zillenials are way better with English and they sound way more friendly.

Where did the myth that the French are rude come from, I was in Paris for a week and the locals are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet

@Exiledharri Plenty of millenials are already in this situation.

normies gonna hit their early-mid 30s and try to live the hedonistic volatile late-teens early-20s life they never felt allowed to. a whole generation of spiritual-late transitioners it's gonna be lit

@Not_Cool_Yet Yes and specifically pursuit of comfort through individual happiness. Navel gazing, never ending self improvement, healing, finding yourself, self love, etc., etc.

A big issue, especially amongst younger people, is that therapy speak and self care culture accidentally created a new framework for justifying the pursuit of comfort above all else.

@daveg Which is correct

This puts Revolut in the top 5 European banks.

@0xblacklight Zitron is massively biased anti AI

this is why the labs are pushing visions of mass unemployment and replacing the white-collar workforce it's not because the models can do it it's because they have to in order to make their economic model work and to keep raising money the only way to keep raising hundreds of billions of dollars is to sell everyone on the idea you're going to demolish a massive chunk of the labor market otherwise it doesn't work

@_ChrisCovington @0xblacklight What exactly does it mean "the bobble pops"?

@0xblacklight And this is where the bubble pops, in a couple of years probably

@k1rallik $230B, aka like 3%?

APPLE JUST SURRENDERED THE AI RACE Apple held WWDC 2026 today and wiped out $230 billion in market cap within hours. The headline feature - a new "Siri AI" that runs on Google's Gemini, not Apple's own tech. - The new Siri runs on Google's Gemini and is banned in the EU and China at launch - iOS 27 supports the iPhone 11 - app launches got 30% faster, AirDrop 80% faster - Siri can now read your screen, identify what your camera sees, and order your food by voice - Apple added kid accounts and a built-in calendar that replaces third-party apps The features were great. The fact that Google built half of them is what cost Apple $230B.

@ithacarising If you're ambitious, London will offer 1000x more opportunities. In Paris you hit the ceiling very fast.

Having lived in both cities really opens your eyes to the good, the bad, and the ugly. Londoners love to bang on about their gloriously messy diversity: one evening you’re tucking into Ethiopian injera, the next you're demolishing Korean fried chicken, all while joining a perfectly civilised queue at the bus stop as if it were a national virtue. Even as the Tube quietly reeks of last night’s kebab, you adapt. You learn to position yourself on the platform like a pro so the doors spit you out right by the exit. You discover the secret 3am bakery knock on the Bermondsey Beer Mile for warm croissants fresh from the night shift. You revel in the wildest people-watching on earth. The dry, self-deprecating banter never wilts in the miserable rain, while free museums and wild parakeets in the parks remind you why the chaos is worth it. Londoners will, if pressed, quietly admit the other side: Bank (or Monument-Bank) station is a labyrinth from hell - especially after a few drinks - where you wander in circles like a confused hamster. Everything civilised shuts annoyingly early. Eye-watering rents condemn you to mouldy flats shared with flatmates well into your thirties. The grey weather tests your soul daily. And that famous politeness sometimes feels like the only glue holding the whole glorious mess together. Paris, by contrast, seduces its long-term residents with an entirely different set of intimate charms. Parisians adore the village-like rhythm: morning baguette rituals, sacred two-hour lunches where eating at your desk is for philistines, and cafés that turn a simple espresso into a daily ceremony. The dense, walkable beauty means every errand can feel like a postcard within the Périphérie at least - the suburbs are another matter. The Métro (when it’s not on strike) is mercifully punctual, and the effortless chic and fierce respect for work-life boundaries make you feel vaguely civilised. Food is treated with near-religious reverence, and that golden light on the Seine can forgive almost anything. But the initiated also know the sharper edges. The bureaucracy is a soul-crushing hamster wheel. Apartments are so tiny and charming they come with antique plumbing that sings opera at 3am. Prices make your bank account wince. Parisians maintain a social reserve where smiling at strangers or attempting small talk is viewed as slightly suspicious and vaguely American. Dog mess turns pavements into an obstacle course. The overnight "parfum de Paris" (that unmistakable whiff of pee) lingers in the Métro. The summer humidity without air-conditioning is suffocating. And the occasional strike can turn the city into performance art. Still, both places have this magical way of making you forgive the rain, the rudeness, and the eye-watering prices. Where else can you drift out of a free museum straight into a sunset that makes you feel briefly, gloriously immortal? London thrills you with its restless, anything-goes energy. Paris seduces you with its stubborn, elegant beauty. Locals will moan about both cities endlessly… yet somehow never quite manage to leave. It's less about choosing the "better" city and more about which beautiful madness speaks to your soul. In the end, you just have to pick your flavour of beautiful madness. Me? I choose Paris.

@abigail_laycock @Telegraph Yes. But also even for building and achieving things in your career, you need to be very focused on your thing, not spending your time measuring your life and following 15-step routines lol.

@justasziem @Telegraph They're rich, controlling and scared of mortality. The great leveller. Too much money and too much narcissism. It seems a lonely life, optimising every second by strict routine. Living is enjoying spontaneity and variety.

Bro-whisperer Steven Bartlett has gone viral for claiming three glasses of wine “ruined” his life for three days. Can self-optimisation really be the key to happiness if it causes that much despair? Tom Williams argues no 👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/0…

@Futurenvesting @RCK1980 Where do customers come from if not from operating in markets 😂

@RCK1980 Who cares, you don't get paid from markets, you get paid from customers, NU has 135m customers

Every time I see Revolut raise money, I can't help but compare it to $NU. Fintechs in multiple geographies, with holistic product offerings, are expanding quickly and becoming a real threat to the incumbents in their regions. HOWEVER, Revolut has less revenue, same growth rate, less profit, lower margins, arguably the same TAM, and DOUBLE the valuation! Private markets have not felt the crunch that public markets are feeling, which leaves a lot of opportunity for investors who are following the fundamentals.

@YungLeanCumShot @fogellxy Just trying to do everything differently from the generation before to be cool. Old as time

@fogellxy I don't get the "health" focus on my generation. have a couple beers on a Friday night, it won't kill you and might actually make you look forward to something other than the gym and scrolling

@Nimbopill You do know that Johnny Bravo was a cartoon, right?

Life is hierarchical
