It’s crazy that gamblers are always punished and not the companies that incentivize and profit off of them

I love how Elon's like "if you don't give me more money, I won't be able to do this thing" and I'm over here like "yeah... I don't want you to do that thing" classic case of "don't threaten me with a good time"

“There will be no more poverty if you give me (already the richest man on earth) a trillion dollars” is a wild take, to say the least.

Arresting people for "insider trading" sports betting, but letting blatant insider trading go on for politicians. Makes sense.

A trillion dollars is an unfathomable amount of money. You have to spend roughly 1 million dollars each (yes, EACH) day for the next 3000 years to squander that.
