    Elon Musks companies aren't un related or atleast they out of the top 10 verticals by revenue they represent 6 of them. They represent the infrastructure it would take to create a new civilization on a planet. Energy, Communication, Transportation, Telecom, IT. The crazy part is just like NASA was responsible for a lot of R&D that went downstream to other tech companies (like the GPS) - he owns his own NASA which can use Government dollars to create new things like star link.

    Excellent show. Bitcoin price is of course being manipulated. On the Bitcoin manipulated price. I think someone should do a short squeeze on these guys. It would be different than gold or silver. All we have to do is demand the wallet addresses of the Bitcoin they are short selling. This will cause them to collapse immediately. And will have the added affect of allowing real price discovery of Bitcoin. Think about it. This could cause Balaji to win his bet. In fact Balaji could do the short squeeze.

      It’s impossible to short Bitcoin.

      @@user-ri4qk1xy3c I agree if you are trading actual bitcoin with verified custody. However there is a market in paper bitcoin. Remember the creation of a futures Bitcoin ETF? I believe that was specifically designed to keep the Bitcoin price suppressed. And shorting it. Just like they do with paper gold is the only way to do it. I am not an expert in market manipulation. But I can tell you experts in this field talk about it extensively. Such as Max Keiser and Caitlin Long.

    failure to separate liberal politics from left politics and keeping them all under"woke" is at best just wrong and at worst disingenuous.

    Why do hosts like this stutter so much? Balaji is actually a very fluid speaker. This host and many of the rest of the tech nerd community thinks it sounds intellectual when they stutter lol it’s so weird

    I think you've given this guy enough airtime, why not get someone with a different point of view.
