Any loans Elon has taken in the last 3 months against his stock are going to be in really rough shape. Overall though investors gaining 50% in a year is absolutely remarkable even if they’re down from ATH. Unless youve been holding from '22 you’re probably pretty happy with stock performance.

Great point, there are at least 77,284,118 people who are OK with the current state of affairs.

In my experience, It’s usually replacing employees in one region with people in an other who can do the same job with less pay. RTO is forced layoffs.

So they’re very closely related but don’t go around saying it’s in the Constitution because it isn’t.

Eh, but how do we rank if you are flush with disposable income?

Life sucks. Then you die.

I am curious how else we would describe the direction of circular motion
