Wealthy people can be morons, too.

Can we please stop worshiping them and start taxing them appropriately instead?

Just a reminder…

Uber isn’t profitable
Tesla’s aren’t profitable (it makes it’s money on emission credits, not the cars)
WeWork isn’t profitable
Neither are AirBnB, Zillow, Snap, Blue Apron and many more.

Tech companies don’t need to make money, or even real products, if they serve a “higher” purpose (like Hyperloop which was primarily about stopping high speed rail in California, or Boring Co halting public transit projects)

Just something to keep in mind as predictions are being made.

So the latest stupid thing this stupid individual is saying is that Twitter will have one billion users monthly by 2024.

And people are just writing it down as if isn't just another buttnugget this man is pulling from a handy orifice.

In June-July 2022, the ports of the United Kingdom received Russian oil worth $94 million.
