This pandemic will hopefully mark the end of the perversion of higher education. Since the 1980s, kids and parents have been forced to play a series of stupid finite games - grades, extra curriculars, influence peddling, donations for infinite assets: skills and knowledge.

Here's the story of how I came to own a piece of the @warriors . In 2011, I was 34 and had left $FB to start @socialcapital . When I was raising my first fund, I spoke to @peterthiel about investing. He asked me how much I planned to invest as the founder and only keyman.

What does this accomplish other than deprive 640k Americans from Internet access? Does this make America better or worse? Starlink was given a contract by the FCC in 2020 to bring Internet access to 640,000 Americans in 35 states by 2025. But yesterday the FCC took this…

Last year, after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, President Biden gave federal agencies the green light to go after him. And they have. Today, the FCC adds itself to the growing list of federal agencies engaging in the regulatory harassment of Elon Musk. I dissent.
