After Trump got elected again, I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk will some day become US president somehow, even though he wasn’t born in the US. There are ample indications that many Americans want their country to be a plutocracy rather than a democracy.

I’m thinking of a+ib, more generally, rather than just i

If we’re going to translate “flaws within flaws” to math, I think we ought to think of something like the Koch curve.

A straight line being “flawless”, a straight line with a divot having a flaw, and divots on divots being the flaws within flaws. It’s quite beautiful really, much like our dear leader.

I heard that Zuckerberg went to Rogan and I know that the “supposed-workaholic” Elon is tweeting 24/7 like his life depends on it, but it is not mandatory to watch that stuff. I am not going to waste my time to watch Rogan’s podcast nor read the endless BS that Elon usually tweets/re-tweets.

This article is written as if we are somehow strapped in a chair, eyes forcibly open, and have to read and watch all that every day. :sweat_smile:

It’s time for us to start getting revenge on the nerds.

Very cringe-worthy and off the mark. Wow.

Because the U.S. wants the money from forcing ByteDance to sell. Security is probably pretextual.

"It’s clear that more time is needed to find an American buyer and not disrupt the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans, of so many influencers who have built up a good network of followers.”
—Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

At least some politicians think of the influencers

Does that mean the Supreme Court is a joke?
