      Only winning move is not to play. Too bad our system promotes degenerate gambling.

        All you have to do is watch broadcast television to see the myriad ads, apps and companies that all want your money and time.

          Oh for sure, there is no opting out. The Game is all there is. Like something out of a campy dystopian 80s action flick, completely over the top and unbelievable, yet at the very same time feels inevitable and the natural conclusion of what we are doing.

    Lol.

    Both men are gonna need to set up some kind of trust fund to pay for 24/7 guards to keep their graves piss-free.

    I’ve already outlived, outclassed, and outdone both of them, just by achieving basic civility and being the kind of person my community actually likes to see walk into a room.

    Was this a plot by old friends, for Musk to lose to make precedence so others that might have a case would lose based on that precedence?

    Palantir who’s owners were also associates of Sam Altman allegedly pays SpaceX billions. Seems a lot like a rich boys club.
