Gilded Age 2.0


The fastest age of economic and technology growth of any country in the history of the world?


It’s interesting to me because someone like Trump gets frustrated with Twitter, and the best he can do is raise capital for a social network which seems doomed to fail. Musk can just buy twitter. Trump was the president and one of the most influential political figures in the world, but in this regard Musk dwarfs him in terms of power.


Speaking of Trump, what are the chances he'll get un-banned?


Non-zero. But I wouldn't be surprised neither if Musk doesn't want any competition on his private social network.


I'd bet on it.


We've been there since the late 90s.


I'd argue it started with the PC revolution and the lionization of CEOS in the 80s
