Firms that kept DEI, whether due to executive decisions or shareholder pressure, performed as well in the stock market as those that rolled it back.

Growing up next door to an aggressor, you don't take freedom for granted. As a young Latvian shares, Ukraine isn't just fighting for itself—it’s breaking a cycle of occupation so the next generation across Eastern Europe can finally live without looking over their shoulder.

This is why Musk doesn't mind that that Twitter revenue is down 59% (or Ellison w/ CBS). He's more than making up for that loss via Twitter's political effects--ingratiating to Trump, fomenting racist panics, etc--which help SpaceX and xAI get favorable public contracts and regulatory treatment

Trump's brain is mush and his party is about to get wrecked in mid-terms. In about 3 months time he'll be so sucked into existential battles in US domestic politics that pretty much everyone outside America will ignore his strategic brainfarts

Starting Monday morning every candidate who Elon Musk is spending against should hold an event where they tell everyone Elon Musk has their Social Security number & he’s funding their opponents’ campaign so he doesn’t have to give it back.
