Elon Musk so far is laughing all the way to the bank with his supposed bid to acquire Twitter. Here’s why investors should be concerned by his antics.
‘Don’t Say Gay’ to China’s Xi Jinping
Underscoring how America’s establishment media seeks to distract the country from the broader issues threatening the country, the Washington Post today posted a story headlined, “DeSantis takes on Disney in a culture was with national implications.”
No, the real culture war is with China. Thanks to Hollywood, America has already surrendered.
Elon Musk’s Greater Twitter Fool Theory
Elon Musk possibly doesn’t know the “Greater Fool Theory” by name, but he exploits it on a seemingly daily basis on Twitter.
Private Equity’s Devaluation of U.S. Lives
The U.S. Constitution guarantees “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Private equity firms are increasingly denying Americans their inalienable rights.
Peter Goodman’s Davos Man Rage
Although marred by his politics and blind faith in government, Peter Goodman’s book “Davos Man” is a guaranteed delight for those who are angered about the growing disparity of wealth in America and around the world. Widespread understanding of Goodman’s core message is the requisite first step making towards making the world a better place.
Buy the book and you’ll gain some valuable insight about the business practices of Salesforce’s Marc Benioff, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, JP Morgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon, Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
The Ratings Defiance of Fox News
SNL’s cold open this past weekend again mocked Fox News and the network’s hosts. But Fox News is having the last laugh – in the first quarter of the year, Fox News eked out a three percent primetime audience gain, while MSNBC and CNN lost about half their audiences.
Those who despise Fox News and its politics would be wise to consider why the network possibly has more primetime viewers than MSNBC and CNN combined.
Why Disney Plus Can’t Stream “Midnight Cowboy”
Reading that Disney plans to stream its first R-rated film this month made me wonder why the entertainment company doesn’t go whole hog shedding its former family entertainment image and stream “Midnight Cowboy,” the only X-rated film to win an Oscar. Unfortunately, the stars of that movie are persona non grata in Hollywood.
Miley Cyrus and Disney’s Changed “Family Values”
Such is the bizarro world we live in. Whoever thought we’d see the day when Disney advocated the sexualization of children and celebrities calling out the hypocrisy of Hollywood?
The Perils of Corporate Lying and Deception
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, the folks running the Oscars, and some Deutsche Bank bankers in New York have stepped up to reinforce the wisdom of an adage children of my generation were once taught: Honesty is the best policy.
My Brushes with Celebrities
The questionable behavior of Will Smith got me thinking about the many celebrities I’ve met in my lifetime. With only one exception, every encounter was pleasurable, and fortunately none resulted in violence.
Please join me on my trip down celebrity memory lane.
