Elon Musk: I gave SpaceX and Tesla all my money, and then I didn't have a house and had to borrow money for rent. “We blew up three rockets in the beginning. That was bad. Originally, I basically took all the money I made from PayPal, put it into SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity. Initially, I figured I'd keep half of it, and then I'd spend the other half on these crazy ventures that would probably fail. And then, unfortunately, they needed all the money, so I had to give them all the money. And then I didn't have a house and had to borrow money for rent. That was pretty difficult. That was back in 2008. And then, we managed to scrape enough spare parts together to do a fourth launch at SpaceX and that worked. And if it had not worked, SpaceX would have died, probably would have lacked the credibility to raise the remaining money for Tesla and we wouldn't be here today.” Interview at E3 Coliseum, June 13, 2019

CJ McCollum says he’s signed multiple NBA extensions worth hundreds of millions, and still lives on the exact budget he set in 2016, because he pretends the money never came “The budget we have in place now for my family and I is the same budget that I had when I signed my first extension in 2016” “We pretended that I was never going to make another dollar for the rest of my life. And then I signed another extension. And then I signed another extension. We pretended like none of this money was ever going to come” “We’re living as if that first extension is all we have left”

Jalen Brunson says his goal wasn’t spending his first NBA contract— it was saving $1.7 million “My first contract was four years, about $6.1 or $6.2 million.” “It was a goal of mine and my family to make sure I had about $1.7 million in the bank by the end of those four years.” “Honestly, during the year and after everything, I kept checking to make sure I was on track.” “That was the goal.” “I achieved it.” “When I signed in New York, it was the same thing.” “Yes, it was more money, but it was still the same goals.” “We’re gonna get to this number by the end of this.” “Having goals, a checklist, and making sure they’re achievable and realistic.” “I’ve achieved those goals, and I’m happy with them.”

Magic Johnson says he built 125 Starbucks, sold them back to the company and used the money to help buy the Dodgers for $2.2 billion “What I did with Starbucks, I let the first one build the second one. I didn’t take any money from the profits we made. Then I let the second one build the third one and fourth one, and on and on and on. I didn’t take no money out until we built 50 stores” “Because it was important to scale the business, but also put myself in a position where I could sell those stores back to Starbucks and Howard Schultz. We built 125 Starbucks, and then I was able to sell all of them back. That was my exit strategy” “We did that in five or six years. I sold Starbucks, and who would have ever thught that the Dodgers would be for sale. I used the money that came back to me from the Starbucks sale and put it into the Dodger deal. Them and the Yankees, those are the two biggest brands. I knew it we would hit a homerun”

In 1979, I was so broke that I had to borrow $4,000 from my Dad to help take care of my family. I had calculated that American banks had lent much more money to foreign countries than they would be able to pay back, and anticipated an imminent debt crisis. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t fully understand the impacts of quantitative easing, and so I lost money for myself and I lost money for my clients. Looking back, it was the most painful experience I could imagine — but it was also the best thing that ever happened to me, because it taught me humility.

Joe Rogan and Joe DeRosa discover that Honeymooners creator Jackie Gleason walked away from $7,000,000 left on his contract in 1956 because he didn’t want to “cheapen” the show. That's about $83,000,000 in today’s money, or $1,000,000 per episode. ROGAN: “There’s only one season?” DEROSA: "He did 39 episodes. And he was like, 'We did it. It's done.' Nobody does that now. They were like, 'You have to do more of these.' And he's like, 'Nope, we did it. We're good. We have nothing left to say.'" ROGAN: "Really?" DEROSA: "Yeah. And then they did reunion shows and shit. But, like, that was it. That's wild!" DEROSA: "Look at this. He had $7 million left in his contract in 1956, which is crazy money. [Gleason said], 'The excellence of the material could not be maintained. I had too much fondness for the show to cheapen it.'" ROGAN: "Wow." DEROSA: "I mean, that is baller shit back then. Like, that is not something people were doing back then." ROGAN: "Or he just got lazy because he had so much money." JAMIE: "CBS was gonna give him a three-year contract for what would have been $132 million today. He was going to get close to like a million dollars an episode." ROGAN: "A million an episode back then?" JAMIE: "No, no, no. [In today's dollars]." DEROSA: "When Seinfeld... announced they were all going to get a million an episode, I remember that was like groundbreaking... This guy was offered the equivalent of that back in '56 and said, 'Nah, I'm good.'" In December 1954, Gleason signed a three-year, $11,000,000 deal with Buick and CBS, the largest contract in television history at the time. The deal called for two seasons with an option for a third, but he stopped after one, leaving roughly $7,000,000 on the table. Gleason said: “The excellence of the material could not be maintained. I had too much fondness for the show to cheapen it.”

Spike Lee on how he overcame funding shortfalls & Warner Bros' indifference to get 'Malcolm X' (1992) made: "The making of that film was the hardest thing I ever had to do. And the great Marvin Worth bought the rights from Dr. Betty Shabazz, way back. Way back. And for 20-something years, he tried to get it made — several directors, several — several actors. And finally, Norman Jewison was the director, with Denzel. And when I heard that Norman Jewison was directing this, I said, “Hell to the nah!” But here’s the thing, though. I respect Norman Jewison, because it was his job; he gracefully bowed out. He didn’t have to do that. And so, once we got that, I knew we had to do the film. But from the very beginning, we didn’t have enough money. We didn’t have enough money. I put half my salary into the film. Warner Bros. knew it. We all knew it. But we’re just gonna go. I mean, this whole thing is — and, you know, in the studio system, you got to get them impregnated. So we knew one day the money would run out. And Warner Bros. did not want the length of that film to be three hours. We knew — it was not about ego. To tell the many different lives that Malcolm led, we needed that time. We needed that time. And we went out — it’s crazy. We showed the four-hour version to Warner Bros. Four hours. We knew we’d cut it down, but… It was the day of the Rodney King verdict. So, we’re screening a film for Warner Bros. executives, the two presidents, and the secretaries are coming in and out, because L.A. is burning. But to their credit, they stayed throughout the whole four hours. And so, it was a long discussion, because they had to — we had — I think a helicopter came to Warner Bros.’ lot and took them to where they had to go. And they said, “How long the film might be?” I said, “I need as long as” — I said, “How long is JFK?” Because JFK was coming out. And they said, ”JFK is two hours.” They didn’t know I know Oliver Stone. I call Oliver. I goes, “Oliver, how long is JFK?” He says, “Spike, it’s three hours, but don’t tell them I told you so.” So we knew that we had to keep going. We did not cut the film, the length. And Warner Bros. let the bond company take over the film. All the people in postproduction got registered letters saying, “You’re fired.” As I said before, I already put half my salary already into the film. So it was the lowest point in my life, with the exception of my mother dying. And Malcolm came to me: self-determination, self-reliance. I kept thinking about that again and again and again. What does that mean? And then it hit me like a ton of bricks: I know some Black folks that got some money. So, this was the plan. Not did I only know them, but I had their phone number. So I made a list. And here’s the key thing. This was not — it was not — they couldn’t get any money back. It wasn’t a tax write-off. This had to be like, “Here, take it. Take it.” And the first person I called was Bill Cosby. Called him up, said, “Bill” — first thing I said was, “How’s Camille?” Then I told him what it was about. He said, “Spike, I’ll put the check in the mail.” I said, “Nah.” I knew he lived in a townhouse, Upper East Side. Knocked on the door. Didn’t even come in. Snatched that check, ran to the bank before he could change his mind. So I made a list. And I always get the order mixed up. A great woman, Peggy Cooper Cafritz, she wrote a check. Tracy Chapman. Janet Jackson. Prince. And then there were two left. So, here’s the other thing, though, is that every time they said yes, I was asking for more money, ’cause I was feeling it. So, I had two people on my list. Called up Magic. Boom. And then the last call, the GOAT, who was born in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, not North Carolina: Michael Jordan, born in Cumberland Hospital on Myrtle Avenue, same hospital where Mike Tyson and Bernard King were born in, Bernard and Albert King were born. So, I mean, one thing about Michael, he don’t like to lose nothing. Very competitive. So I just let it slip how much Magic gave. Oh, oh, oh, Ms. Oprah Winfrey — sorry, sorry. She’s in there. I told you I get the — so I let Michael — I said, “Magic gave…” He said, “Magic gave what?” Boom! So now we had the money, and I had the money to rehire the crew. And at this time, there was no talking between myself and Warner Bros., because Warner Bros. gave the film to the bond company. So, on this date, on Malcolm’s birthday, we had a press conference at the Schomburg Collection, Schomburg Library, 135th and Lenox. And we announced that these prominent African Americans wrote these checks. And the next day, Warner Bros. financed the rest of the movie. True story."

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

Tracy McGrady says he leaned on Kobe Bryant to manage his $5,000,000 rookie contract and the NBA lifestyle at 18 years old “I never felt like I had it under control. Ever. I was trying to control it the best way I possibly could because I didn’t have the knowledge.” “I’m young. I didn’t have the knowledge. I’m just maneuvering through this shit by trial and error, just trying to figure it out as I go.” “But having Kobe at the time, I could pick up the phone, call Kobe, because he’s somebody that I leaned on religiously at that time. Very intelligent person. Very grounded. His structure and my structure are totally two different structures.” “I needed to have that conversation and learn from him, who had the structure and had the intelligence to help me maneuver through this shit that I know nothing about.” “I could just pick up the phone and call my man and be like, ‘Yo, I’m struggling with this. What should I do?’ And he was so gracious enough to give me the game. That was through our whole career.” “Everything, bro. We talked about everything. I stayed with him. At his house in L.A. Just to have those conversations, man, it really got me through a lot. I’m not even just talking about basketball. I’m talking about having money and having to deal with family and maneuvering through all of that.” “I didn’t know how to deal with that. Kobe grew up in this. He’s got the blueprint. This shit is all a blank canvas for me. And I’m trying to figure it out.” “Even from a mentality standpoint, how you approach games, how you work out. I don’t have any of this. I ain’t really work out until I got to the pros.”

Just to have those conversations, man, it really got me through a lot. I’m not even just talking about basketball. I’m talking about having money and having to deal with family and maneuvering through all of that.” “I didn’t know how to deal with that. Kobe grew up in this. He’s got the blueprint. This shit is all a blank canvas for me. And I’m trying to figure it out.” “Even from a mentality standpoint, how you approach games, how you work out. I don’t have any of this. I ain’t really work out until I got to the pros.”

Chris Bosh says he found out LeBron was leaving Miami through a text 10 minutes before it was announced 😳 “I thought it was BS. 10 minutes later it was everywhere. I get it but at the time I didn’t understand it. At the time I was ready to put the team back together cause we had just lost so we wanted to put something back together so we could win. And it really didn’t go like that. I took offense to it tbh… I’m a competitor and tbh when you go back to the locker room and Bron ain’t in that chair and everybody is looking at you and D Wade for that 25 points it’s like damn, man. Sh*t my knee hurts… I was upset it took months to get over it. We had to be in the same place and talk about it… We had to get back to a mode of not rebuilding but getting more out of ourselves and not always having that easy thing relying on 6 to do his job” (Via ALL THE SMOKE)

🚨 Elon Musk on DOGE: "I think the goal of DOGE was to try to do something about the deficit, which is massive, where the interest payments exceed the amount of money spent on the Department of War. Like basically, if you add up all the money spent on on what is now the Department of War and the and intelligence in the US, that is smaller than the interest payments on the debt. So we need to sort of take a close look at spending and make sure that money is being spent in sensible ways and that it is not wasted or spent on fraudulent activities. And I got a lot of flack from this for this, obviously. But the people don't understand just how simple it was for the DOGE team to approve payments. If we literally we were just asked to have the contact information of the recipients or some evidence that say money was going to its intended purpose. But over and over that we were told we need to wire money for some sort of important cause in Africa. And we're like, OK, but the wiring wiring instructions are to Deloitte and Touche in D.C., in Washington, D.C., not to Africa. So we would like to send the money to Africa. Can you please connect us with the recipients so we can send them the money directly? And then we get silence."

Carlos Alcaraz says he initially wasn’t sure if he was cramping or if it was an issue with his adductor during his match against Zverev, ‘I just told what happened to the physio & he decided to take a medical’ “I didn’t think it was cramps at all at the beginning. I didn’t know exactly what it was. I ran to a forehand and started to feel it in the right adductor. That’s why I called the physio. Because it was just that moment, the rest of the legs.. the left leg was good. Not good but decent. After that with all the stress I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know if it was going to be worse or not. In that moment I just talked to the physio and said ‘Ok I just went to run to the forehand side and I started to feel the right adductor.’ He decided to take the medical time out and he did it. I just told what happened to the physio and he decided to take a medical.” (via Australian Open Press)

Mike Tyson says he used his money to make life in prison comfortable “When I was in prison, I still had money. So, I would fix people's houses up. The doctors or whoever they were, the guards, I would just send them money, give them money for their kids to go to college and everything. I really had it cool in prison” “My first year I was an asshole, so that's why they had to give me that extra year. I really had life in there. It was really crazy though. It wasn't reality though. It wasn't the real world” “After my first year being an asshole in prison, I was the mac. I had anything I wanted. Me and my roommate, we had a menu. Spaghetti and meatballs, steak and rice. We had a menu for what we was going to eat” “We were just blessed by God that I was able to have the resources to do that”

Siliguri, West Bengal: ASI Nandita Majumdar police says, "I have come with a complaint. I purchased a piece of land, but there were some irregularities in it. I asked for my money back, but they refused. Instead, they gave me three cheques—two together and one later. The total amount was large. I deposited the cheques in the bank, but they bounced. I was told the cheques had bounced, and I do not have the money. I am asking what has happened to my money. I am a part of the police administration. Since it was the Trinamool Congress government then, my complaint was not heard. Now the BJP government is in power, so I am hoping I will get my money back..."

RFK Jr. VP candidate Nicole Shanahan asks Ron Paul to sell her on Ending the Federal Reserve Ron Paul: “I look at it in a moral way. We have a system of money which is immoral. A secret body of men get together and decide how much it’s worth and what the interest rates will be. It’s total distortion of the whole process. It’s counterfeit. Originally, we didn’t have a central bank because they knew the history that it will always become corrupt, because they would be allowed to counterfeit legally. Then, when we got control of the central bank of the world and we had all the money and all the gold and all the resources, we had license to steal. Right now, there’s a resistance to it. It was destined to come. To me, it’s a moral issue. Nobody has the right to counterfeit. That is the reason that government gets out of control. You can’t have these wars without the Fed. Just think of these last two years. How much money, how much debt we have run up.” “We didn’t have the Fed before 1913. This argument has been going on since the country started, Hamilton wanted it and Jefferson did not want it.” From the Back to the People podcast
