Summary
Elon Musk accused 60 Minutes of deception, saying its staff “deserve a long prison sentence” after the show aired an interview with ex-USAID administrator Andrew Natsios, who refuted claims of fraud in the agency.
Musk has previously criticized 60 Minutes for allegedly deceptive editing. However, Mediaite’s Colby Hall reviewed the released footage and defended CBS, stating it followed standard journalistic practices.
Meanwhile, JD Vance condemned European speech laws but distanced himself from Musk’s stance.
Personally, I like the idea of taking the richest person in the country, and redistributing half their wealth every year. That way the goal is to be the second richest person, and you basically pit the two richest and most powerful guys on the planet against each other, trying to prove that the other one is richer.
I’d also like to cap total CEO (or highest earner) compensation at 1000x the pay of the lowest paid person at the company. This would include bonuses and stock options/growth. Any extra amount is confiscated and paid to fund UBI.
Billionaire A: “I donated billions to end world hunger, I’m now the second richest”
Billionaire B: “Actually, I sent private investigators to tail your every movement, and I figured out how much you were donating so I donate one dollar more. You are richer by one dollar”
Billionaire A: “NOOOOOO 😭”
🤣 I’d love a movie about billionaires just trying to figure out how much others are donating so they try to stay just under the richest so they can keep their wealth.
“I paid off your investigator to lie to you. You’re actually 1 dollar richer than I am”
Why 1000? I’m more at the 50x level.
Well, I honestly think that two people with different skill sets and experience can have a 100x difference in productivity. I then multiplied that value by 10x to appease people who really really really think they deserve it.
Why do you think 50x is the right number, out of curiosity?
