Jeff Bezos on America's spending and taxes:
"We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We already have the most progressive tax system in the world. The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all taxes. The bottom 50% pay just 3%. We have a spending problem."
I just really, really hate the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.
🚨 NEW COURT FILING — OpenAI's own solicitation emails to Musk
For three days, OpenAI's lawyer Savitt has been framing Musk as a founding donor who broke his pledges.
Today Musk's lawyers filed the receipts to show what actually happened:
Altman's October 2015 email to Elon Musk:
> "As discussed I think starting with a $100MM commitment (and leaving the time unspecified) is the way to go..."
Then the number:
> "Can you donate $30MM over the next 5 years?"
Musk responded:
> "Let's discuss governance. This is critical. I don't want to fund something that goes in what turns out to be the wrong direction."
Altman to Musk, a few months later:
> "Can you do $20MM a year for the each of the next 3 years?"
Musk delivered $38 million plus the office rent.
Two and a half years after Musk left the OpenAI board, the asks resumed.
July 22, 2020, OpenAI's CFO to Musk's family office:
>"It would greatly help the nonprofit org if you're willing to assist with covering... landlord passthroughs and security costs."
Musk agreed. He funded OpenAI's rent.
Under California law, when a charity solicits and accepts donations, a fiduciary relationship forms between the person who asked and the person who gave.
A legal duty to use the money for the declared charitable purpose.
Altman and the CFO solicited. Musk donated. OpenAI accepted.
Then converted the charity into an $852 billion company.
The trust was breached.
No one knew who I was when I started. Literally no one. My 1st company , I had to email reporters and tell them what they got wrong or right. I learned quickly they needed as much content as I could help them generate.
That led to more people asking me for my opinion on software, networking, you name it.
That led to me going on various radio and tv stations and then news channels.
That blew up my first company that I sold
Then it helped blow up my second company that I sold.
Then it helped me blow up my 3rd company that I sold. Then I bought the Mavs and the rest is history
I wasn't an actor, athlete or born into fame. I was a guy who figured out that the more I communicated with people who had platforms, the more they would platform me
The more I stood apart from everyone else and was able to back it up, the more interest I could create
That led to a TV show that failed. That led to Shark Tank and who knows how many tv appearances. They got me the platform that allowed me to create @costplusdrugs
I never had a PR firm. Never paid to appear anywhere. I found places where I could add value and stand out and went there.
That's what got me here
The difference between now and then, there are thousands of podcasts and streamers and influencers that need content more than anyone ever did back in the day .
Anyone who knows how to brush their teeth can start on small podcasts, find a niche, see if it works and grow from there
@mcuban@bgurley@costplusdrugs GTFO, Mark. If you have a mass distro channel like having an influencer with over 1M followers that you can use for free that’s ok. But that’s a silly thing to say. Every company needs distro. Influencer, event activations, digital, social, etc. you HAVE to have mass distro to
BREAKING 🚨 Elon Musk just reposted a video of Katie Miller surprising Laura Ingraham by saying:
"I just want to point out that what we've spent on the war so far is less than what Tim Walz has lost from Somali fraud in Minnesota”
