55 Billion is a little more than Tesla's gross profit from 2023, 2022, 2021 combined. 3 years of gross* profit!

https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/gross-profit

Maybe the board was proposing to Musk?

"They say you should spend 3 years salary."

* Gross profit is revenue without subtracting manufacturing or production expenses. Net profit is gross profit minus the cost of all business operations and non-operations.

Edit: Tesla's total net income from 2010 to 2023 looks to be less than 46 Billion:

So take all the money Tesla has made since 2010 (without subtracting the years they've lost money), take another 9 Billion dollar loan, that would equal 55 billion.

He should be forced to carry his unviable campaign to term.

The ball is in the DEA's court. Some say it should be rescheduled by Spring:

https://mjbizdaily.com/a-look-at-dea-role-in-marijuana-rescheduling-process/

How long the DEA might take to form a response is an open question, though experts told MJBizDaily that an initial proposed rule could be issued by the end of the year and the process finalized by next spring.

What the DEA cannot do is reject the HHS recommendation outright, said Howard Sklamberg, who once served as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s top enforcement official.

This means marijuana’s days as a Schedule 1 drug are ending. It’s only a matter of when.

Even better, he is suing because the charges against him make him look like a traitor:

The filing states that as a result of the government’s actions Flynn was “falsely branded as a traitor to his country, lost at least tens of millions of dollars of business opportunities and future lifetime earning potential, [and] was maliciously prosecuted and spent substantial monies in his own defense.”

Discovery in this suit will be amazing. It'll be interesting to see the details we didn't get to see that led to the Judge in one case against Flynn to say "arguably you sold your country out".

It was various offices but mainly the IRS:

Operation Snow White was a criminal conspiracy by the Church of Scientology during the 1970s to purge unfavorable records about Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. This project included a series of infiltrations into and thefts from 136 government agencies, foreign embassies and consulates, as well as private organizations critical of Scientology, carried out by Church members in more than 30 countries.

From the same article:

President Joe Biden issued an executive order his first day in office to halt wall construction, ending a signature effort by his predecessor, Donald Trump. But his administration has moved ahead with small, already-contracted projects, including replacing a two-layered wall in San Diego standing 18 feet (5.5 meters) high with one rising 30 feet (9.1 meters) and stretching 0.6 mile (1 kilometer) to the ocean.

Any org that deals with sensitive info should

  1. Ensure that emails going outside the org go through additional scrutiny.

  2. The user should have to validate the sensitivity of the email and attachments so the system can deny passing them to untrusted networks.

  3. Use PKI to encrypt important messages so only the recipients can unencrypt them

  4. Use domains that are entirely separated from the internet for military sensitive stuff (NIPR Net, SIPR, JWICS, etc). Those won't route to the open internet in other countries for any reason.

Taping a harmonica to their undercarriage is a more harmless prank.

The best ad I saw for Reddit (back before the grand Digg migration) was one day, everyone agreed to stop posting direct links to articles and instead post the links to the Reddit discussions for said articles.

Suddenly, one day, the entire Digg feed was links to Reddit.

We should do the same thing (on say 8/1) to give time for the different federated instances to get accustomed to the higher traffic, more activity on the feed, and more people to welcome the future Reddit refuges, just like Redditors once welcomed us during the Digg 4.0 exodus.
