I think at last count that is about half his value...Bloomberg had an article basically mocking Musk and Zuckerberg (and many others) about their losses and how Billionaire Schadenfreude is everywhere these days. everywhere!

I wouldn't confuse what Bloomberg is doing as general billionaire schadenfreude. That's old money making fun of new money.

The day Bloomberg joins the proletariat is the day Bernie can retire.

The article was about the phenomenon (not them doing it per se) but it was very harsh with the stupid decisions made by the billionaires. Bloomberg doesn't care about people, but they do like watching giants fall especially because of bad decision making.

Plus, they were right. It is open season on mocking the elites because every one of them is responsible for their own losses. Zuck leaned in waaaaaaaaaaaay too much into the metaverse (which I use every day but what he envisions is not going to be a thing for at least a decade) Elmo has issues with Tesla overseas and the Twitter boondoggle and the rest were cryptofrauds.

From the article..
Incidentally, as this "woke" green energy fad fades into the sunset, as it almost assuredly will, and the American auto companies see their sales crash, they'd better not come begging for yet another taxpayer bailout.

I have my own reservations about electric cars but it has mostly to do with the fact that we do not have the infrastructure in place for it yet. We put the cart before the horse. I've been seeing that in my own industry for decades.
 
If the airlines can't keep a simple system up and ALL planes are grounded today how do we expect to go full computer full electric with cars? I don't know. I have no faith in Information Technology. Not when someone who is working on Mars decides to go full social media. Any research done to get to Mars could greatly benefit us on Earth even if we do not get there.
 
Well, considering NOTAM is Federal and not controlled by the airlines, not sure how the airlines were supposed to keep that running.

And NOTAM isn't "simple," as each notice contain different items of note for pilots. They range from "be aware of the big construction crane 100 yards from the taxiway," to "be aware that runway 18/36 is closed and has construction equipment on it," to "here's nine pages of instructions on the exact route to fly into the Oshkosh airport for EAA. Landing pattern starts in Lake Geneva, WI."

Fair enough. By simple I mean keeping it up should be simple. We have massive amounts of redundancy available in IT systems nowadays. Something this important.....
 
I will chalk up the FAA thing as decades of underfunding government resources so it becomes a crisis eventually.
 
I mean...didn't we just pass an infrastructure plan that is supposed to beef that up? It isn't like we are going to overload the system tomorrow it will take years to have that kind of EV saturation in the marketplace.

As for the article...Stephen Moore said Sarah Palin would be the first female President. Nuff said!

I really hate how people (not just cons but mostly them) misuse "Woke".

Yeah, I agree with you.
 
Good luck.

One would expect Europe to snap out of the bullsh-t faster and reject austerity harder than the neutered American electorate, but perhaps we can learn some lessons in how to turn back the Plutes and their brainwashed armies of useful idiot orcs.

Jacobin has a good piece this quarter on the Brahmin Left, describing the last sputtering demise of the feckless Harvard-Oxbridge Clinton-Blair liberals who allowed the Right to run the democratic world into the ground the last 40 years. They see some hopeful signs the authentic popular Left is making a comeback with the yutes, even -- gasp -- young white males.

If the Nazis lose them, they've lost the ballgame.
