Will I be the first one-person billion-dollar company? I don't care. My goal is to be the first one-person company to help a billion people get into the new AI economy. That's Polsia. Fun talking through it with the extremely talented Will Phillips on his behind-the-scenes documentary.

"If we're going to give — G-I-V-E — money to someone, why don't we get something for it?" Howard Lutnick tells Ben Smith when asked about the US government taking a stake in Intel. "When I walked in the door, it was a dumpster fire ... It went from a $100 billion company to a $300 billion dollar company."

#BreakingNews: A criminal investigation against Jay-Z and Tidal was conducted for allegedly using bots. A whistle blower from the company handed over a file with all the information to the Norwegian police. Oddly enough the investigation was dropped after Jay-Z sold company to his Bestie Jack Dorsey against other board members wishes. This triggered the board of Block shareholders (company over Cash App) to sue Jack Dorsey for even buying the company. ROC Nation has also been accused by former clients of hiring hackers and using bots. -via VICE

Jensen Huang explains how he designed NVIDIA from first principles “With respect to building a company, the first thing you have to do—as with all problems—is start from first principles. What is this machine that we’re trying to create? What is its input? What is its output? What are the conditions that it’s in? What is the industry like? Is it a fast moving industry? Is it a bureaucratic industry? Is it a highly regulated industry? And what are you trying to build?” Thinking about it from this perspective, there were several things Jensen wanted to do with the company: “I wanted to create a company that naturally attracts amazing people, and the reason for that is our company’s mission is to solve computing problems that are barely possible.” He also wanted a company that was “as small as possible” and “empowered people.” “If you want an organization that obeys command and control, then you make it a pyramid just like the military—all the way back to the Roman Empire. But If you want to empower people, you want to make it as flat as possible so that information travels quickly.” He continues: “We also don’t have business units. We don’t have divisions. Everybody works as one, and the company is shaped in a way that allows us to build accelerated computing best.” Video source: Sana (2023)

🚨NEW: Adam Curry nicely breaks down how Stablecoins work, Tether, and the likely future of the US Digital Dollar system. (Worth a watch if you don't know about this subject) "A stablecoin is a digital dollar thats pegged to the dollar so it's always a dollar. It's already being used all over the internet and the world. The only reason it's worth a dollar is because the stablecoin company that creates it has debt and paper to back it up. They buy America's debt, they buy treasury bonds or T-bills that pay a dividend that gives interest, and for each dollar they've bought in treasury they can create stablecoins. If you look at the company Tether they've bought more of the US debt than most countries. They have $160B worth of US debt. For each of those dollars they have a stablecoin. There's like 50 people in the company. They have $160B at 4% interest annually, they're making BANK just for holding this debt. I think that President Trump is very smart in seeing that we can flood the world with our stablecoin and we get a 2-for-1. We create a dollar of debt and we create another dollar that can be used all over the world as a reserve currency and that should result in some new monetary system that we need to come up with to have our dollar valued properly but also still remain the reserve currency and remain a strong export country. We don't make anything that we sell abroad, we can't all serve each other burgers and fries -- we have to build something. All of that went overseas. There's something big coming, and it has to happen. Trump is a meta guy. He's going to re-finance the country. It'll be digital and he Bitcoiners don't like this because they want Bitcoin to be the one currency that everyone uses but its now more like a digital gold that's much easier to move around. It's useful but it isn't money or currency the way it was originally intended -- but it is still very important and will be part of the US' strategic reserve. It looks to me like Stablecoins and Tether in particular will be the future of the US dollar payments. A lot of people on the right are afraid of being controlled on a grid because you can stop stablecoins -- but it seems there's no way of getting around some form of a digital dollar. I still like Bitcoin as a backup to protect from that control." Great breakdown Adam Curry - curryirc.com

Elon is suing OpenAI for $150 billion. On the stand today he said: "If we make it okay to loot a charity, the entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed." OpenAI went from a nonprofit in someone's apartment to an $850 billion company. The people who built it are now billionaires. The charity that was supposed to own it holds 26%. It doesn't matter if you think Elon Musk is a hypocrite or a hero. That math is hard to explain. Source: Reuters

Elon Musk: Creating a successful company is pretty straightforward. “The ability to attract and motivate great people is critical to the success of a company, because a company is just a group of people that are assembled to create a product or service. That's the purpose of a company. People sometimes forget this elementary truth. And so, if you're able to get great people to join the company and work together towards a common goal and sort of have a relentless sense of perfection about that goal, then you will end up with a great product. And if you have a great product, lots of people will buy it, and then the company will be successful. Really, it's pretty straightforward.” Interview with AutoBild TV, November 5, 2014

Prince VS Jay-Z: A Literal Fight for His Life (not my video and everything is alleged) Why would Prince fight his whole career to own his masters, to give the away to Jay-Z ? And all we have is Jay-Z and Will Smith a word right before one the healthiest men alive died from drugs ? The FBI is currently investigating ROC Nation and that is information I obtained independently. Nicki Minaj is now being represented by the same person who freed Prince and helped protect his estate from ROC Nation. I’ll provide more evidence to sport this the morning. #Retweet

Bill Ackman is openly trying to build the next Berkshire Hathaway and explained the entire playbook on All-In. It starts with a 4 billion dollar company nobody on Wall Street cares about. The company is Howard Hughes. It trades at 60 cents on the dollar. Here is the playbook he is copying. Someone went back and read every filing Warren Buffett made over 60 years. Almost all of Berkshire's value came from one thing nobody talks about. Insurance. Buffett ran an insurance company. You collect premiums today in exchange for paying claims later. That means you get money up front. Float. Most insurers obsess over the liability side. How much they might have to pay out. Buffett did the opposite. He took that float and invested it. Manage both sides well and you build a compounding, tax-efficient machine that runs for decades. So why hasn't everyone copied it? Because the people great at investing go work for hedge funds. Insurance companies can't recruit them. Buffett owned half his company and happened to be the best investor alive. Ackman is now running the same play. Instead of plowing Howard Hughes cash into real estate, he is pouring it into insurance. The goal is a trillion dollar machine compounding over 50 years. Buffett started with a failing textile mill. Ackman is starting with land nobody wanted. The playbook was never hidden. Almost nobody is built to run it. WATCH THE FULL PODCAST ON The All-In Podcast

#BreakingNews: Fans are straight-up accusing Jay-Z and Roc Nation of putting a hit on Rihanna. This is getting way too dark. 🤯 Between the rumors about him being called for questioning about the Epstein files and everyone starting to connect the dots, people are speculating heavy. Even though none of this is confirmed and it’s mostly the fans digging right now, the theory is that Rihanna is a key material witness to the whole trafficking scheme Mr. Carter is allegedly running at Roc Nation. Rihanna was flown in at 15 from Barack an told to sign a record contract or be thrown out of a 29th floor window by Jay-z (allegedly but Rihanna sad it).

Nicki may tell a joke but she never tells a lie part 1 billion at this point. Nicki called out Elliott Wilson for spreading false narratives about her and feeling that it was appropriate to do so because of Jay-Z. Now Elliott Wilson reveals Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is funding his media platform. If they are funding him then it’s safe to assume that per his job as a media personality he has to align with the values of the people lining his pockets correct ? Showing once again that Nicki does not lie and they’ve been trying to sabotage her character using the media. Literally funding it !
