He joins Caroline Hyde on "Bloomberg Technology."

I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other YouTube trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to Follow

Government is not a business, it’s more like managing a family. Government is there to make sure that the citizens have a country that is safe from crime, poverty, disease and foreign aggression, then the citizens build the country’s wealth.

Payroll for 2.2 million federal employees represents only 1.8 percent of the federal government’s $6.1 trillion budget.

This analyst didn’t consider the involvement of Vivek in the decision making…

If billionaire Musk is so concerned about wasteful government spending, why is he taking tax dollars for a salary? Does he need the money?

[marthalisk]

Maybe Elon can reimburse the US for the 20 BILLION he's received for projects!!!

[billscott]

Broke what, you fail to be specific with your vague reporting.

As a law firm owner, the firm's email being on a domain owned by me, gives me the right to see every single email. Isn't it possible that Elon, as the owner, has the legal right to access anything on twitter, including DMs?

[Jenesaisquoi]

All i caught was peanuts 🥜 Did Elon buy the Government or the country

[RONALD]

And so far, he doesn’t own the government

80% of Americans are C, D, & F students. It doesn't mean they're stupid; it means they're lazy; anyone can become an A & B student with effort. On January 6th, 1816, Thomas Jefferson wrote: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." I would never let an uninformed person operate on my heart, let alone clean my teeth; why would I let this person play a part in determining the fate of my Nation? Democracies never survive because it's easy to manipulate ignorant people. We need another type of system. I find it interesting that either ignorance or AI superintelligence could destroy our system when we have both co-occurring. It reminds me of TS Eliot when he said, and I paraphrase, "Where is all the knowledge we were supposed to gain from all this information, and where is the wisdom we hoped to gain from all this knowledge?" So, to sum up, we have a supposedly super intelligent guy, Elon Musk, who owns three supercomputers, Colossus, Dojo, and Cortex, who disseminates purposefully alerted facts to sway ignorant followers to his worldview. Geez, I wonder if he has an ulterior motive... and what could possibly go wrong?
