You are right on why he bought it. But he then got funding from outsiders who would benefit from it’s transition away from effective gathering and communicating space

It is wild that there was any Latino support after the Haitian migrant lies.

He’s a speaker at a political rally. The setting makes a difference.

Eminem spoke at a Harris rally. But he’s an adult who cares about people and expects as much from his government.

Nice try Elon

If it didn’t help other global powers, i.e. Russia, I’d say this is a reason to have New England be it’s own country.

I am an accountant and prepare financial reports.

So it is a replacement for Western Union. Not a bad thing if it’s helping people transfer money without a middle man taking too much.

The tribute to oil in front of the state capitol was a nice touch to the article.

A lesson learned from Animal Farm babyyyyyy

Whether VR works for Meta or not, they have invested in technology and built careers for employees. This is why we should have corporate taxes. I’d rather see corporations keep employees and advance technology instead of giving dividends to the wealthiest people in the world. While the product might not work out, I bet there are many people who worked on it that will take those skills to new projects.

I can’t watch much of his content because it is just like any other grind culture, serial entrepreneur angle. He was running a company, I think its a marketing consulting firm or something like that. He stepped away from the business which can be run by other people but he felt he could’ve grown it more if he stayed active. I think he’s basically up the ladder of a entrepreneur pyramid scheme.

And I agree with your quality of life comment. It is a shame that he stays so committed to serial entrepreneurship as an overall positive thing for everybody. He said one person was inspired by his optimism and work that the viewer was inspired to work on a business and it saved his life. So one person was helped by this project and the millionaire was very touched. I would have hoped saw that quality time with family is more important regardless of your wealth. And he could’ve also realized that people are generous by nature and that we should take care of each other more than trying to accumulate wealth and grow a business with no motivation outside of the accumulation of wealth.

I don’t think they claimed they were greedy because they were Indian. I think it is more of a question on why the Indian people who have been successful in tech are implementing the profit motive policies and what overlapping culture we share with India that would lead people to that capitalistic goal of profits over product. Isn’t that something worth exploring? I think it already has led to an educational discussion where one commentor mentioned the history of worker actions in India.

I’m watching this guys youtube video explaining his side and his rebuttal is actually very simple. In his expirement, he did not say anything about being homeless and he never said that you can earn a million dollars in one year. His goal was to have a template showing how to build a business. I still think he didn’t learn anything. He is just a super entrepreneurial guy who thinks that he is helping people by encouraging them to start a business and that grind culture can give you a better life. He seems to not want to look above his own place in our system and encourage any substantive change in the social safety net of the US. I’m glad he realized that being a good son, when his dad is dying of cancer, is more important than being a hustler. But he doesn’t seem to have internalized the idea that being a good human is more important than being a hustler on a normal day.

Yes. We should work on raising everyones standard of living instead of thinking only millionaires get these benefits. The goal should not be for everyone to havea million dollars. The individualistic premise that he uses is flawed from the beginning.

Companies catering to the wealthy is already happening. The richest man in the world, Bernard Arnault, sells luxury goods. It used to be that selling products to the most amount of people was better, Ford, oil barrons, even Wal-Mart. Now money is made selling products to the wealthy. The growth in inequality of the last 50 years shows up in many ways today. Housing sizes are larger because builders need to sell to the wealthy instead of to the masses where margins on modest sized homes are smaller or non-existent.
