Meta stock keeps moving up.
He's no Musk, but he keeps winning the Wall Street lottery
When nobody pays taxes, there’s plenty of dry powder to prop up bad economics.
This is what all capitalism is. The capitalists copy, take credit, gradually degrade the project while paying capitalist cronies more and more inflated prices for supplies, contracted labor, line go up for a few quarters, capitalist decides to cash out, too bad for the public, astute business management.

So they're not satisfied with their service being addictive enough, they gotta try to ruin more lives.
They should open by taking bets on a fight to the death between musk and Zuckerberg.
Can't wait until everyone's Nana is getting bombarded by virtual slot machines on their feed of grandkid pictures.
What the actual fuck
disclaimer: iam not endorsing anyone since i hate them both.
...but at leats good things have come out of musk's spending. tesla and spacex. mostly spacex.
