My favorite fucker, Elon Musk, needs another look as we close out the second season of the BVC
The Billionaire Victims Club
Donor-class preferences enter the All-In podcast as private consensus, exit as public analysis, and arrive at the policy table already formatted for legislative language. It's not a debate show. It's a credibility laundromat with a Spotify deal.
Political Musing
History has three ways this ends: the extremists win, the party dies, or everyone pretends to make up and don't. Pick your favorite, because 'grow a spine' isn't on the menu.

In 2007 thirteen men posed in mafia cosplay for Fortune magazine and called themselves the PayPal Mafia. The photo looks different now. It's not thirteen men performing menace. It's a class photo — of the cohort that just finished taking over the government.
A day late, sorry, Saturday got out of control for me. Sunday, July 5th: A read on the perennial argument (often fronted by the Never Trump crew) about the Can, vs. Will in the context of winning. This was pre-planner meltdown: Will Win vs. Can WinRon Johnson tried to

The consultant class are the Capos. Never Trump are the enforcers. The donor class is in the back of the restaurant. And your midnight ActBlue email? That's the vig. Welcome to the protection racket.
Billionaire Victims Club, Vol. 2. - Europe has looked through Palantir and seen whose face is on the other end. Not the Antichrist. Just Peter Thiel, 58, looking older than his years, spending $40k a quarter on young people's blood, waiting for the lockup to expire.
How the Never Trump Brain Trust Built What They're Now Selling You Protection From
Billionaire Victims Club, Vol. 1. As I drafted this, I was watching SPCX lose $400B in market value. Only about $1.5T more to go to be "right priced" Glorious!
