Did you know that if you saved $100,000 a day every day from the birth of Jesus to today, you still wouldn't have 1/5th of Elon Musk's net worth? Does Elon Musk perform labor that is worth way over $100,000/day for 2000+ years? Or is something seriously wrong here? 121769547

Ben Odgren @benodgren.bsky.social · 28/01/2025This afternoon, on the way home from work, I saw a bald eagle launch itself out of a tree. It flew around, doing some tight loops, getting lower and closer to the road. Low enough that I thought "Is today the day I hit a bald eagle, in mid-flight with my truck?" 110
