Peak California governance is bragging about taking a year to paint a crosswalk without bothering to fix the giant cracks.

bro immigrated from Mexico and took a $28/hr contract welding job in 2015.
didn't even know what SpaceX was.
they gave him $10,000 in stock and let him buy more through payroll deductions.
that stake is now worth $880,000.
and he's one of 4,400 employees who became millionaires on Friday. welders. technicians. cafeteria staff.

No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

People used to get an MBA from Harvard because they wanted to rule the world.
Now they get an MBA from Harvard to run a $2M search fund that spends 3 years to identify a laundromat in Michigan that they can buy for 7x earnings.

These dudes have been calling each other the worst President in history for 80 straight minutes — and neither one of them got really offended until their golf skills were questioned. Hahaha.

a $50 minimum wage, "the math speaks for itself." the high-level problem of our generation is the people who run the country are actually too stupid — genuinely, earnestly, authentically too dumb — to understand the concept of second order effects.
California’s affordability crisis demands a living wage.
The math speaks for itself.

How did we get to this weird place? Telling people who are actually out in the world making a positive difference, "You're the problem."

“I've done more for the environment than any single human on earth. What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it - and what I see all over the place is people who care about looking good while doing evil.”
“Fuck them."
