A few months ago, Larry Ellison briefly passed Elon as the world's richest man. Today, on paper, Elon is, by himself, worth more than *all of Oracle*, the company from which Ellison's vast wealth is derived. Markets are not always rational. RE:

Laura Loomer is getting quite a bit of flack in the replies to this tweet, where she calls people saying nice things about Rob Reiner "simps"

Since 9/11, the FBI has spent a ton of resources effectively entrapping angry poor people into pretending they were engaging in a terrorist plot and then "stopping" the plot that never had any chance of being carried out. This is almost certainly another such case. [www.techdirt.com/tag/own-plot/](

Tyler Cowen interviewed Sam Altman... and what a weird thing to bring up. "They read Twitter less" as if it's a condemnation? https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreie4bwq4r7jlsfk5pgjxejvofrhy3ddxtkwx2ta5uqbnpwbnh5oqk4
