I think he has actually found a way to make the cyber truck even shitter, which feels like some sort of weird achievement.

Karma isn't anywhere near coming for Musk, he got away with it over and over and over again. He still is.

The US dollar has been global reserve currency. The US greatly benefited from this arrangement, more or less it is why, for instance, boomers were able to buy a house on one wage.

The US took in far more than it laid out over various hard and soft power initiatives. These soft power initiatives, and US military spending are essential for a country whose currency is to be considered a safe haven for investors - it projects fairness, power etc.

Trump is withdrawing the US from this role of great privilege in order to try and compete with India and China in being the world's factory, so it is inevitable it will end the concomitant mechanisms of soft power it employed in its former role as global reserve currency.

This is not a good deal for the average American; the rest of the world knows it is a crazy decision, the US voted for it a second time, when Trump was very clear on his intentions.

It isn't possible under capitalism. We need global cooperation, not competition. So, we are riding this horse off that cliff. We will evolve through crisis, rather than proactive change.

If you'd invested $100 a month as amazon lost money for years driving 'mom and pop' businesses, starting with those evil bookshop owners, out of business before exploiting monopoly, getting local authorities to pay to host their distribution centres while the employees need food stamps to survive, you'd be rich now. Capitalism works.

Bezos, former hedge fund guy who was given hundreds of thousands from family to start amazon, knows he is despised. He actually personifies the phrase 'shit-eating grin'.
