Musk's $1T pay package is full of watered-down versions of his own broken promises | TechCrunch Musk used to say Tesla would make 20 million cars and one million humanoid robots per year. The company's board wants far less than that in exchange for $1 trillion.

The chasm between what Elon Musk has promised over the years and what Tesla is holding him to in exchange for $1 trillion is really something to behold. So I wrote about it:

Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were “taking their jobs.”

Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and don’t be shocked when this becomes the new norm.

Moguls Moving Money Isn’t the Same as Building a Business - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Here’s one of those insidious causes of income inequality that we haven’t named-and-shamed enough. I talked about it from the POV I’ve had as a CEO & founder: the grift of treating those who move money around as if they built something.

The Make Russia Great Again "Summit" A spectacle to legitimize Kremlin geopolitical aspirations in Europe and beyond

The “summit” in Alaska is one such performance. Clapping for Putin on the tarmac, and allowing him to ride in the presidential limo, with no translator or aides present, is unprecedented. I read this as proclaiming to the world that Putin has total access to Trump
