Of course, this is what billionaires do. They give millions to both campaigns, so whoever wins, they get stuff they want.

"Elon Musk has given $574,500 to Republicans and $542,000 to the Democrats, per OpenSecrets."

Om du er interessert i hvordan det går med Tesla (og DOGE for den slags skyld), så vil jeg anbefale å høre denne episoden av Tech Won't Save Us (Paris Marx).

Jeg må si at det høres virkelig ikke bra ut. Oljefondet burde selge seg ut så fort som mulig, ikke nødvendigvis som en boikott (selv om det hadde vært flott), men fordi det rett og slett ikke er så lenge til aksjeverdien til Tesla går rett i gulvet (kanskje gjennom gulvet også).

„As the United States declares war on the economies and people that were once its closest friends, it’s time for its global power and influence to be reined in once and for all. Instead of allowing the US government to continue to bully and threaten countries around the world, its Western allies must team up with friends in the Global South not just to force the United States into line, but to tackle the power of its out-of-control tech industry once and for all.“

"So given that we're clearly on a trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality... and there would probably be billions of... computers... boxes, it would seem to follow that the odds that we're in base reality is one in billions."

"Can you imagine that as recently as a few years ago, people used to sit around and nod along as they listened to this... bullshit?"
