Pretty interesting: the logos for Elon's companies each have an industry-specific background.

1/ Tesla (the "T" logo is a single rotor from an EV motor)
2/ SpaceX (the "X" in the logo matches the trajectory of of the Falcon 9 Rocket)
3/ NeuraLink (The logo resembles the wave form of a neuron when it fires AKA "action potential". It also forms an "n").

1/ Steve Cohen is the hedge fund manager that owns the New York Mets. Worth $14B, he's also the inspiration behind Bobby Axelrod from the TV show "Billions".

The day-to-day details of Cohen as a trader are quite interesting.

Here some takeaways🧵
2/ The rundown of Cohen's trading tactics come from Andrew Beresin, who worked at Cohen's firm (SAC Capital Advisors) at the turn of the century.

Beresin worked "four feet from Cohen" and has vidid memories of the experience.
3/ The elephant in the room: some of the tactics described led to an insider trading scandal.

◻️SAC paid a $1.8B fine for it
◻️ One of SAC's traders (Matthew Martoma) was sentenced to 9yrs in prison

Prob a good time to flag that Christopher Nolan planted 500 real acres of corn for “Interstellar” instead of using CGI.

He dropped $100k on the crop and sold for a profit after filming:
Where did he plant? The only land he could find was outside of Alberta 🇨🇦
Best part: he asked Zack Snyder for advice...because they had corn fields in “Man of Steel”

1/ A Redditor who runs in high net worth circles writes on the "gradations of rich".

He explains in minute detail the difference between being worth $10m+ and $1B+.

It' a doozy 🧵
2/ As background: the Redditor says while he's not super rich himself, he counts 8 billionaires as close friends.

He says there are 4 major breaking points of "rich:

◽ $10m-$30m
◽ $30m-$100m
◽ $100m-$1B
◽ $1B+
3/ At $10m to $30m

◽Needs met
◽Fly 1st class
◽Very nice house
◽Live 4/5 star life anywhere
◽ You can surive a financial disaster
◽At lower end, you still have to be "prudent"
◽Business stress remains (never goes away)
◽Banks don't classify you as ultra high net worth
