Even better, they'll make it out to be our (the people's) fault, for something, then proceed to give the tech bros billions in bailouts.
This crash will make 1998 and 2008 seen like child's play.
Let's just get it fucking over with, but be careful what we wish for.
Didn't he hire AI specialists for salaries of like half a million a year just a couple weeks ago?
Nope, 300 million is the claim.

I would say I hope they're preparing their resumes (for whoever is getting the top tier bracket (which I suspect probably wasn't all that many if any to begin with)) but even if they got just one months worth of salary that's...25 mil...yea they'll be fine
Welp, I remember reading the headline with some stupidly big number but I guess it didn't register with me just how stupid. (Dear Mark, I've also used chatgpt once , pls gib money)
If their resumes weren't written by AI, that's a good indicator that it's all a scam.
I wish I could be the one to pop it.
Kudos on consistency.
The guy hasn't had a good idea since he was 20 years old. Just keeps dumping billions of dollars into stupid fads. Just imagine all the good he could be doing with that money instead of flushing it down the toilet on terrible investments.
Well that news article title surprises me more than Cookie Monster switching to fruits and vegetables.
Theres no fucking way thats true..
Lot of good news this morning. :)
