All but about 200 pages are blacked out.

"« Mes collègues, mon chef, nos avocats… tout le monde se disait que ce n’était pas possible. On parlait tout de même de #Tesla et d’ #ElonMusk, qui était vu à l’époque comme l’icône absolue de l’industrie automobile, rappelle Sönke Iwersen. Il nous semblait que personne ne pouvait récupérer toutes ces données comme ça et partir avec. » C’était pourtant le cas."

#BernieSanders Lays Out Plan to Fight #Oligarchy as Wealth of Top #Billionaires Passes $10 Trillion
"If there was ever a moment when #progressives needed to communicate our vision to the people of our country, this is that time," wrote Sen. Bernie Sanders. "Despair is not an option."
Jake Johnson
Dec 31, 2024
"A Bloomberg analysis of billionaire wealth published Tuesday found that the combined fortunes of the 500 richest people on the planet surpassed $10 trillion this year, a finding that came shortly after U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders issued an urgent call to action to prevent the emergence of 'an oligarchic and authoritarian society.'
"The new analysis notes that the world's top 500 billionaires 'got vastly richer' this year with the help of "an indomitable rally in U.S. technology stocks."
"Just eight billionaires— #ElonMusk, #MarkZuckerberg, #JensenHuang, #LarryEllison, #JeffBezos, #MichaelDell, #LarryPage, and #SergeyBrin—added more than $600 billion to their collective wealth in 2024 and accounted for 43% of the $1.5 trillion increase in net worth among the world's 500 richest people, according to Bloomberg.
"'But it was Musk—the so-called 'first buddy' of President-elect Donald Trump after unprecedented support for his reelection campaign—who dominated the world's wealthiest in 2024,' Bloomberg observed, adding that Trump himself also saw his fortune surge to a record high this year, 'boosted by the performance of his majority stake in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.'
"Musk's use of his enormous fortune to influence the U.S. political system—including via his purchase of one of the world's largest social media platforms and donations to Trump's 2024 campaign—amplified existing concerns about the corrosive impact of massive wealth concentration on democracy.
"And #WealthInequality in the U.S. could soon get worse, with Trump and the incoming Republican-controlled Congress set to pursue another round of tax cuts for the #UltraRich and large #corporations."

I like what I've heard about Bonfire, and I like the emphasis on community-run servers over a central flagship server (e.g., mastodon.social), but this trend worries me a bit:
“…the movement of starting a new fediverse server was heavily tied to the Mastodon migration effect that started after Elon Musk took over, in the fall of 2022. After that period, much fewer communities have started a new Mastodon server. This poses a challenge for the approach of Bonfire: the Bonfire Social software is now officially released in a 1.0 version, but there is not a single publicly accessible server that runs Bonfire.”

US spy satellites built by SpaceX send signals in the “wrong direction”
It seems US didn't coordinate Starshield's unusual spectrum use with other countries.

After an #economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms & screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely #rich assholes who aren't listening.

The problem of course is we have a #political & #economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior & risk taking. You can burn down the world, then shrug & walk away with billions. Seems like a problem
