I wonder if this is the scam (most billionaires are the result of a long-running scam, i.e., Elon Musk isn’t actually worth anything, he just gets rich people to co-sign loans with him by lying about how he has a pending loan coming, starts a business with the loans he lied to get with people who co-signed based on a…

I think you’re overestimating the exposure he’s giving himself. And if he’s in on it, then she wouldn’t need to doctor anything. The narrative that I’m aware of is her marital status came kind of out of nowhere. Her being ‘available’ is part of the draw. So that just adds to the weirdness of how this all unfolded.

I mean, if this is all real then it’s awful but like

Charity exists as a way for the wealthy to wash their hands of bad publicity. What they don’t tell you is that 90% of donated funds don’t go to the people who actually need them, they’re used to run the charitable institutions and pay the salaries of the executives.

The problem is even the cheaper cards are getting expensive. I bought a 1060 years ago, and it goes for just as much now; and the new cards are set to be far pricier. It’s not just the ceiling going up, it’s the floor too.

Having worked with SE in the past (I was part of a smaller company they owned), I can say it is the most soulless, rapacious, clueless bunch of morons I have ever worked with in an industry that has no shortage of those.

Putting your money in a digital mattress, buying more money to stuff in your digital mattress when the price tanks in the hopes it’ll recover its initial value provided you don’t lose it all instantly from a basic phishing scam= “decentralized innovations”.
