    “Let’s enjoy destroying the retirement funds of untold number of people, forcing them into homelessness, starvation, continual indentured servitude, and an early grave. Hahaha, oh we will have such a grand time. Somebody refill my glass of orphan tears! I don’t want to be parched when the elderly blood sports start.”

    – Elon Musk, maybe

    Billionaires get to say that. Ordinary people with normal financial situations and a normal family to provide for with a normal 9-to-5, not so much.

      Wasn’t he the one crying about how AI terrified him, a few years back? Maybe not since he funded xAI…

        Well, Trump was against crypto until someone told him he how much he could grift with crypto. Now he’s super-duper-pro-crypto.

        Greedy rich psychopaths don’t believe in anything other than money, and they’ll say or do anything to make more of it.

          Yeah, literally his involvement in crypto soured it for the rest of the world. I sold what I had knowing it was all downhill from there. It’s been tempting to buy back into it since everything is so damn low, but I just can’t trust it.

        Yes absolutely he claimed that, and as I see it, that was an attempt at a strategy to slow development with regulation, so he could catch up. Remember Musk is a con man more than anything else.

    Sure thing. Have fun enjoying this ride, while I pack up my things and leave.

    Oh? That brake pedal? That’s mine btw. I’ll be taking it back, thank you very much.
