Elon Musk just lost $15 billion and if nobody had told him, he never would have noticed.
You know what the biggest effect on Elon is of losing more than twice New York City's yearly budget right now? He's only the SECOND biggest billionaire.
That's it. He's down on the Leaderboards.
Cause it's just a game.
But don't worry, Billionaire fans, this just means that Bezos is on top once more!
Stay tuned!
Imagine dropping $15b on the street and not even needing to turn around and look for it.
Cause you'll make it back in interest.
Our society continues to be the poo inside the flaming paper lunch bag.

If it is more important to you that you preserve the sanctity of a symbol that means love and community and holiness to you than to actually extend holy love to a community experiencing harm, then the symbol was always more important than the values.
If you are willing to inflict trauma and fear on people for whom your symbol warrants it in context, then you are actually voluntarily ceding whatever meaning that symbol had to you and are perpetuating the purpose of its twisted meaning.
White people hold the world record for victimhood:
White genocide,
War on Christmas
Stole my election
Affirmative action
Cancel culture
You will not replace us
We're being invaded
Gotta protect white culture
Reverse racism
Deep state
"Being racist got me fired"
Literally 75% of the criticism I get from white people boils down to "But why do you have to be so HARD on us! We're naive, innocent little lambs, and Black people telling us we uphold supremacy is just so.. MEAN. Why can't you be nicer to white people?"
You may wonder why I have chosen for the past few days to engage with open white supremacists.
The reason is that now, more than ever, their bullshit is getting mainstreamed outside of the pockets of white asshattery they used to reside in.
So it's important to me to vaccinate.
People need not only to be aware that white supremacists are out storming buildings, but that their respectability wing are still subtly recruiting, using seductive yet deliberately flawed reasoning to confuse liberal white people who never bothered to learn about whiteness.
So I've taken a week to demonstrate how to detect their insidious nonsense.
How to address the "just asking" and "But all this data says" approaches
How to engage with white victimhood and fake concern
How to recognize bad faith and twisted statistics.
Then when you're done with that, please explain where all the white people in this country came from?
Then please explain how the thousands of laws passed to specifically give white people access to legal, political and commercial protections specifically denied to others does not count as "racial advocacy"
You keep asking people what their rankings are and if they beat you or not.
Everybody keeps telling you they DON'T WANT TO PLAY.
But white folks need to keep score. So game on.
It's like if a kid in school came up to you and was like "Ok we're gonna play king of the school, whoever is king gets to punch everybody. I get to be king first! OK?"
Everyone else is like "No. This sounds like a terrible game" and the kid says "GO!" and starts punching.
