What does her polyamory have to do with anything other than a thinly veiled attempt to slut shame a woman?

just a quote from wikipedia as a whole paragraph, you can verify it, did not think that much, no need to over react, everyone is so sensitive these days.

I remember a lot of people strongly believed that SBF would never get in trouble because he was a Democratic donor, and that this was all part of some vast corruption scandal. It turns out not everything is a conspiracy.

Since Trump refuses to come back to Twitter Musk has decided to impersonate him. And since SpaceX depends very heavily on the government it seems very foolish for Musk to be getting to political.

His parents are law professors, themselves with hundreds of millions they must have gained from their son's activities. We know that they have at least 10s of millions of dollars in real estate to their names. The probabilty that it's hubris, stupidity or privilege (all suggested in these comments) causing these interviews is less close to 1 than the probability it's a tactic to portray himself as a distracted lunati…

It’s probably another case of Hanlon’s razor, “don’t attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”.

Since Trump is not back on Twitter, it looks like Musk is the new "there's a tweet for everything" guy.

"there's a very stupid tweet for everything" guy

I think that's the impression intended to be given in the hopes of having a chance to fight the case.

A guy who quite likely stole billions of dollars can't prove he donated money to Republicans and we should just trust him?

They are public record.

Please provide them. I haven't seen anything that shows equal donations.

93% of prisoners are men[1], so it's pretty common that women do not face justice. [1] https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_gende...

Justice is what happens when people are held accountable for the wrong things they've done. Nothing about justice requires that punishment be meted out in strict accordance with the demographic breakdown of a population except insofar as wrong things are done in strict accordance with the same demographic categories. Maybe you're assuming that to be the case, but I don't think you'll find any evidence to support such…

Exactly. If black people disproportionately are in prison, maybe that's just justice.

How about we create better systems for refugees to gain access to safety and citizenship instead of consigning them to a rickety shadow financial system? Are you putting this much energy into, say, opposing border walls and supporting marginalized communities?

Yes, I think borders violate basic human rights and needlessly destroy lives and families. Your argument that crypto is consuming too much opportunity cost is completely valid. But why fight against something that offers hope for the misfortunate?

What about people suffering brownouts because their electricity is being stolen for mining, or people losing their shirts in ponzi schemes? What about the people and companies being extorted by ransomware? Do you say to the people who've been harmed by cryptoassets, "sorry, this is for the greater good, there are hypothetical refugees who may find this useful?"

I'm sorry, but pretty sure they are public record.

This is the problem with a 501(c). There is no public record. The bill which would have made those records public couldn't get passed in the Senate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/22/senate-re...
