This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
The Nigel Farage Controversies. It’s not just the £5m and Cottrell, his whole career has been scandal ridden.
Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.
Think about the fellow who just said on Bluesky that he wished people would just post about movies and not get into "politics."
