When Michael Burry warned of a housing collapse in 2005…
No one listened.
But when the '08 bubble burst wiped out $17+ Trillion...
No one was laughing.
Here’s why his latest $1.6 BILLION bet has Wall Street listening:
Burry isn't your typical Wall Street prophet making vague predictions.
He's the hedge fund manager who turned $750 million in profits from the 2008 crash.
While others lost everything, his investors gained 489%.
Now he's betting against the market again...

In 2022 alone, Taylor Swift made $1.1 Billion WITHOUT a record deal.
She didn’t drop a new album. She didn’t tour. She didn't do commercials.
Her secret?
ONE genius move I can’t believe the music industry let happen:
Most artists accept defeat when they lose their masters. Not Taylor.
In 2019, her life's work was sold for $300 million without her consent.
6 albums gone to Scooter Braun, then flipped to Shamrock Capital.
Everyone thought she'd lost.
They had no idea what was coming...

Scale AI's CEO never finished college.
Instead, he read ONE Stanford textbook—and built a $14 BILLION company at 23.

Here's his genius framework for learning anything fast: 🧵
While his MIT classmates sat through 4-year programs,
Alexandr Wang lasted exactly one year.
Not because he failed.
Because he spotted something everyone else missed.
The real AI revolution wasn't happening in classrooms...

At 23, Daniel Ek built Spotify in a tiny flat in Sweden.
By 27, it was worth $1 Billion.
Then, Tim Cook and Apple CRUSHED it with one brutal move.
What happened next sparked the biggest war in music history.
Here’s the wild story: 🧵
Back in the mid-2000s, the music industry was struggling.
Piracy was rampant. CD sales were plummeting.

This MIT economist just dropped a chilling prediction:
“AI will make your skills worthless. A Mad Max economy is coming.”
But those who build a "specific type of income" will survive what's coming.
Time is running out. Here’s how to do it: ⬇️
Let's make one thing clear:
David Autor isn't some random doomsayer.
He's the MIT economist whose China Shock research transformed how we understand job displacement.
His predictions shaped federal policy for decades.
Now he sees something far worse coming...

Patrick Collison didn't build Stripe on "hard work."
Instead, he believes in increasing your "surface area of luck" to be successful.
Not by wishing or manifesting.
But with a 4-step mental model that built his $95 BILLION empire... ⬇️
Patrick and his brother John sold their first company for $5 million while still teenagers.
Then dropped out of Harvard and MIT.
Not to grind harder.
But to discover a counterintuitive approach that would build a payments empire...

Everyone laughed at Jeff Bezos for building a $42 Million clock inside a mountain.
Especially since it's built to last 10,000 years and powered by sunlight.
And while critics call it a "vanity project"...
It's actually a warning of the future he sees coming... ⬇️
This isn't just any clock.
It's 500 feet tall, built inside a remote Texas mountain, designed to tick once a year.
The century hand moves every 100 years.
A cuckoo emerges every 1,000 years.
But why would Bezos build this?

Elon Musk just launched over 7,600 Starlink satellites.
Not for better Wi-Fi or cell service.
But as the next phase of his $2+ TRILLION plan to leave Earth.
Here's how Starlink (literally) just got him one step closer: ⬇️
Most people think satellite internet is just for rural areas.
Or emergency backup when cable fails.
Even the experts focus on download speeds and coverage maps.
But Starlink isn't competing with Comcast.
It's building something far more ambitious...

In 2009, Domino’s Pizza was a national joke.
They lost $1.4 Billion. Customers hated their "cardboard flavor."
Instead of fighting it, they admitted the truth—and turned it into a
$15 Billion comeback.
Here’s the full story:
Picture this:
A national pizza chain where customers describe the product as "cardboard."
Where people rate the pizza lower just because of the name on the box.
That was Domino's in 2009.
But the real damage went deeper than bad reviews...

George Clooney made $300 million from movies.
But he made BILLIONS from a drink he never meant to sell.
What started as a "drunken chat" became his biggest payday ever.
Here's how he turned a "hangover" into an empire:
The year was 2010.
Clooney was at his Mexico vacation home.
He and his friend Rande Gerber kept ordering tequila at local bars.
Every bottle disappointed them.
Too harsh. Too expensive. Too much burn.
Then Clooney suggested something that would change their lives:

Everyone thinks Steve Jobs "saved Apple."
But they're wrong.
In 1996, Apple lost $1 billion and was 90 days from bankruptcy.
Until one man pulled off a "last-second miracle."
How did Jobs thank him?
No one could believe it... ⬇️
Picture this:
Apple's board meeting on January 31, 1996.
They weren't there to hire a new CEO.
They were there to sell the company.
That's how desperate things had become.

OpenAI's former Chief Technology Officer.
The woman who turned ChatGPT from a research paper into one of the fastest-growing products ever.

Dozens now roam his 37-acre ranch in South Texas.
Everyone's laughing it off as another "crazy billionaire hobby."

Critics called it “the most desperate move ever.”

December 2020: Microsoft Teams is crushing everyone.
They're bundling it free with Office 365.

Musk never expected to build anything great.
His exact words:
"I wanted to try to build something useful, but I didn't think I would build anything particularly great."
