dude built a 2 million units/year automotive business, and then leveraged it all into all-in bets on the fourth-ranked chatbot and a robot that will never work... when the AI bubble pops he'll be in the weakest position, without a source of cashflow to fall back on, and then the unwind will begin

Trump wasn’t involved, couldn’t have known, isn’t at fault for the awful Ukraine plan negotiated by his envoy, VP, and son in law?
He’s the president! And the plan fits his longrunning Putin-sympathetic stance!
I second @phillipspobrien.bsky.social. Making excuses for Trump is insane and harmful.

Just a periodic reminder.
Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
