I was sort of on Mike Goldman (the challenge giver)'s side until I saw the great point made at the end that the entire challenge was akin to a bar room bet; Goldman had always set it up as a kind of scam from the start and was clearly more than happy to take $100 from anyone who fell for it, and so should have taken responsibility when someone managed to meet the wording of his challenge.

Great idea. What kind of business, I wonder? Telecoms company? Bank? Train network? Carmaker? Steel refiner? Power plant? Newspaper? Mobile phone manufacturer? Television? Oh wait, all of those industries are already heavily rigged in favour of the status quo.

Or by "start a business" did you mean buy a van and hire a local school leaver to help you do some landscaping and HVAC?

Sure, but it's another hit for the myth of the "genius businessman" Musk. Though I'm sure he and his stans would claim it was a Loss Leader all along.

Can someone with more patience than either of us please grab 10,000 social media posts from a year ago and 10,000 posts from this week, and run them through a lightweight LLM to flag up how often it's happened?

You started writing that reply before you finished reading my post, didn't you?

"frunk" sounds like another word for smegma.

Same. I could probably fill a page of A4 with stuff I know about him because I got fed it by The Algorithm, and yet nowhere on that page would there be the name of one of his songs.

Did you know Auschwitz had a special luxury VIP section where all the richest Jews got treated really well and each one got a Nazi guard assigned to serve them? If you didn't know that it's probably because I just made it up.

Kanye's insane to think the people he's cosying up to won't turn on him in a second.
