I believe Elon Musk will spend most of that 1 trillion dollar value in assets to continue to grow Tesla and SpaceX. He's obligated by the board to grow Tesla another 8 times of its current market value and he's accomplished all the board's previous goals assigned to him, no reason to believe why he wouldn't continue to do so. Like Elon Musk or not, he deserves this near 1 trillion payday (in stocks I believe). Also the Tesla brand would fall if he really left the company right now. However from a lot of past experiences with large companies, very few successful companies have branched into another type of product and continued being successful. When a single company starts to branch into and develop all sorts of different types of products, it is normally when the company starts to decline. So we can see if the Tesla robot will work or not. There's a lot of competition in the robot industry, and if Tesla doesn't come on top, we can expect Elon to burn a lot of that capital to keep things running while saying to his audience that his robot will be ready "next year".

The trap to implementing radical acceptance is where you think you don't need to do anything if you've accepted youself. No, that is not it. If you fully accept yourself and your situation, you'll also fully accept that you have a huge ambition to change into something else. This true acceptance of yourself removes all the obstacles between you and massive fucking action!

There's no point for protesting, and ICE's budget is about to double next year. Being able to gather hard evidence and exposing ICE should be enough for now.

What about gaining financial independence in 10 years first? Then pursue your dreams later, you should still be young then.

How did you wake up in the first place? Did you do the same thing to activate that part of your brain again?

So you have no fear of death currently

What if you met Aladdin's genie and had three wishes, could you wish yourself into a happier situation? What would it look like?

Hmm..... but are you able to pull off a painless death? Basically if you die, the "you" as you know it ceases to exist. From your point of view, you will always get your wish no matter what in the end. Probably shouldn't worry about reincarnation, because you totally become someone else. You eventually get dealt with a better hand of cards.

It is politics, I predict a TACO.

You're entirely right, debt is actually money in a way. It's just that the inflation going on the past few years is just crazy!

With the current level of AI technology, I believe that the highest level that AI can perform is limited by the highest level a human can perform. This is because AI can only mimic human behavior and study what humans have already published. AI cannot really invent anything next level by itself if you understand how chatGPT and related AI works. So AI is basically only a machine that can do a higher level of basic stuff faster, its like a computer using a computer for the human. So in the end AI will only replace current levels of mastery that it can learn, while assisting the human to push towards higher levels of mastery.

I wrote so much and forgot to write the conclusion. The reason why there will be more inflation to come, is because of the debt. The US can't pay its debt without printing out more money from thin air. The other reason there will be inflation is because I believe Trump wants inflation. Inflation will increase asset prices skyhigh so that Trump can somehow sell those assets for a higher price onto the rich folks so he can repay the debt. So basically, there will be MORE FUCKING INFLATION for everyone!!!!!!! The entire world, not only the US, will feel its effects!!!

Just want to say you're doing good trying to figure out this by yourself, it will be a process and you shouldn't care what others think about your belief at the end of the day. However, let me provide you more of my own opinion and say that since WW2, the US has been increasing its currency value most of the time. The US does this because it can technically pay less for goods manufactured outside the US and allow its citizens to maintain a relatively rich lifestyle (compared to citizens of other countries). However this will eventually lead to manufacturing jobs going to countries like China, Vietnam, India, and so forth, leaving more and more middle class citizens behind economically. This is why Trump is now devaluing the currency so that he can bring manufacturing jobs back. The tariffs are in place for the same reason, there are also other reasons why the US needs to rebuild its manufacturing strength but Trump's method is not going to work. Normally, the government would never devalue its currency. The economic output of people will not increase due to policy changes, you can't really force that. Policies like tariffs would bankrupt businesses instead. Trump is probably the only guy who can devalue the currency, raise tariffs, and get his MAGA base cheering for him while the MAGA base won't be able to produce those imported goods while paying for most of the tariff cost! The debt, will never be repaid, or at least that is what I think. Even with the amount of money from the tariffs, the debt is still increasing at a faster rate with all the military expenses. Taxing the rich won't work either, the rich have too many ways to evade taxes. If you cut too much spending, the GDP might shrink too much that there will be a recession if not a depression. And no politician wants that on their plate.

Inflation the last few years was due to the US printing 40% of the current US dollar supply out of thin air during 2020 ~ 2021 to handle the covid damages to the economy. This also caused other countries to print a lot money because most of those countries (China, Japan, etc.) relied on exports, so they didn't want their money to be stronger than the dollar (dollar weakens when you print more based on nothing). Another factor was the ramping up of the trade war between China and the US, however this factor is not as significant as the money printing.

Not sure if you've mentioned this yet, could you let us know the name of your current company? It could be the next Google.
