This is from yesterday's episode: 'The $3.5T Bailout: Elon's Plan To Merge Tesla And SpaceX'. xitter.cf/a/status/2114689…

I feel like that's basically Big Tech and capex. I feel as if they're afraid to stop spending."

Owen Zidar (@omzidar) on the real blueprint for getting wealthy in America, and why it isn't building an app. "It's better to own rather than earn. It's pretty hard to get really rich getting a W-2. Second thing, many young people have this sense that you can create an app or get rich really quickly. But when you look at the stories that we tell in the book, that's not the model."
