According to Google, the dude is worth north of $250 billion. Just putting it all in guaranteed government bonds would yield him billions of dollars in income annually. How much more money or power can a person have or need than that??

The answer for power-hungry narcissists like Musk is always "just a little bit more."

Sorry, it is news to me and maybe others. I did not know she was a liberal or anything about his kids.

Caroline, the daughter, is a Harvard alum, and a Democrat. More like her mother, Donna Hanover.

Andrew, the son, is a d00kie, and a full-bore Trumplican. In other words, more like his father.

At that point, it's not actually about the money as he would have to actively work to spend all of it. It's only important as a way to keep track of yourself vis-a-vis others and to have as big an impact as you can in ways that matter to you through the power of that money.

How come so many of the worst in our society are somehow connected to dook?

Board dookies, can y'all start doing something about this? Why are y'all turning out such terrible people over there?

It's a chicken and egg situation. Are they attracted to dook because they're awful to begin with? Or does dook make them awful?

Ask him and Thiel if you want. I don't claim to understand why they're wired that way.

Already showing over $694 million bet. I suspect the total wagered on the US presidential election will be over $2 billion worldwide. The fact that it is not legal in the US is essentially irrelevant as offshore books are plentiful and non-US bettors make up a significant share of the market.

In general, a single well-publicized event with months of futures betting will collect more revenue than a single sporting event, which just has a few days to collect revenue before the next game (and is competing with many other NFL games for dollars).

Update:

It is now legal to bet on presidential elections in the US

It's really weird. Until lately, most of the insane ones were really connected to the law school only. And even there I don't know. Now we have Andrew, Miller and judge Cannon.

There are some very well known Democrat grads of course. Way more actually because the undergrad population is very very liberal

Why do I think it happens? Big money that can get their brar maga kid into a big name school ... And it's the South so that attracts them unlike the ivies.
