Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

About every 57k miles driven by Musk’s robotaxis one gets into a wreck. That’s four times the rate of humans.

Just over here casually pulling a dozen espresso shots in a row to freeze ahead of my surgery next week since I won't be able to use my abdominal muscles and I have a lever press espresso machine.

Hate how the rules always change. And when I've asked, received a curt response, and reply with "oh, sorry, last time it was different," they tell me "it's always been like this." Ok, just gaslight me a little more.
