... either that or folks just intuitively sense a fraudster / scammer
However, if CZ is a scammer, he is a geewhizbangohwhoawee scammer, but is beat by at least one other, and no, not Elon, but possibly perhaps maybe if provable, or depending on PoV ...
In any case, without intending to incite, I think folks eventually might consider the beneficial aspects of blood-curdling revolution, with emphasis on either revolution or blood-curdling, though the two acts generally go together
I do not recommend either. I recommend gold.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced criticism on Saturday for seeming out of touch with ordinary people when he asked a homeless man at a charity whether he “worked in business” and wanted to get into the finance industry.
Sunak, a former Goldman Sachs banker and one of Britain’s wealthiest people, was serving breakfast at a homeless shelter in London on Friday, when he began chatting with a man who identified himself as Dean.
“Do you work in business?” the prime minister asked the man at one point during the conversation, as he handed him a plate of sausages, toast and eggs.
“No, I’m homeless. I’m actually a homeless person,” the man replied.
Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the opposition Labour Party, posted a clip of the exchange on Twitter, calling it “excruciating”, while another Labour lawmaker, Bill Esterson, called Sunak “out of touch”.
His ascent to the British premiership in October made Sunak the richest occupant of No 10 Downing Street at a time when the country is struggling with a cost-of-living crisis.
The prime minister this week made surprise phone calls to British diplomats and military personnel around the world to give them Christmas wishes, his office said on Friday.
His awkward exchange with the homeless man began when the man asked Sunak if he was “sorting the economy out”.
When the homeless man then said he was interested in business and finance, Sunak replied that he used to work in finance too, before asking: “Is that something you would like to get into?”
“Yeah I wouldn’t mind,” Dean said. “But, I don’t know, I’d like to get through Christmas first.” |
