Whose Grift Is It Anyway guides you through the world of grifters, scammers and con artists, to see what we can learn about them and the systems that protect them. In an absolute coincidence, started this account because a famous grifter named Elon Musk is actively destroying Twitter. I am your humble Grift Master.

Kinda frustrating that the lead story on CNN.com at the moment is about Hunter Biden and not, ya know, literally anything else.

Hunter Biden is a former addict who was hired by global companies because dumb CEOs thought he could gain him favor with the vice president. His crimes are of the nepo-baby variety, not the vast criminal conspiracy variety.

Honestly, he's a flawed and deeply boring guy who no one would care about if we didn't have to both sides all politics.

🚨 NEW EPISODE!🚨
In April 2022, Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon was on top of the #crypto world. By September, he's on the run from the feds and has lost investors billions of dollars.

How did we get here, and how did the fall of one company lead to the downfall of half a dozen others? LISTEN AND FIND OUT!

You arrive in a warm, well appointed tavern in Tol’eres. A bard plays a lilting tune on a violin while the half-orc bartender happily chats with patrons. A nervous looking man with a thin mustache and oily hair nervously drums his hands on the table, and it looks as though he’s barely touched his ale.

Anyone want to roll perception or insight?

Kind.Social welcomes and encourages independent creators, small businesses, and their promo posts.

While nobody's interested in banner ads for Amazon, an indie book store posting about some new arrivals or a gaming shop sharing upcoming tournament details is fine.

I ask that Public promo posts like that, from businesses or individuals, be kept to 5 or fewer per day. If posting more than that, those posts should be set to Unlisted. This prevents flooding our Local feed.

I’m not saying Elon Musk created a Ponzi scheme by making people pay him 8 dollars a month with the idea that they would get a large return on their investment by monetizing their tweets only to then turn around and say he can’t make the payments on time, I’m just saying that if you had close to 20/20 vision his idea would look vaguely Ponzi scheme shaped.

Elon Musk’s X can’t send Blue subscribers their ad revenue-sharing payouts on time

Twitter, the company Elon Musk is rebranding to X, announced late Friday night that it needs “a little more time” to make ad-sharing payments that had been promised to arrive this week.

The content creator’s dilemma;

On the one hand, talking about SBF seems too easy and also too over exposed, because everyone is talking about it, and what would I have to add to this discourse?

On the other hand, WHY DOES HE MAKES IT SO HARD TO NOT TALK ABOUT HIM?

* public is very sympathetic that corporations are the source of many of current economic woes
* Biden needs to address overreaching corporations.
* Corporations violate workers’ rights, break the law e.g. union busting
* You cannot advocate for American people w/o making enemies of their exploiters
