And that’s just part 1… meet back on Clubhouse for part 2 this Friday.
Seeing the reach a consistent content creator can achieve with no network tv contract, movie deal, or record label is evidence that somebody somewhere is out there waiting for your content. So why aren’t you making it?
Tesla has long been a tech company that sells cars. It will be interesting to see how their abandoning this technology impacts other FSD efforts.
We are not mathematically gifted or anything, but it seems super suspect that all these chaotic factors perfectly added up to a cool $5K for customer’s to come up with. 🤓
We could write a whole email every week just about VW. They are always making moves that, more often than not, seem to work out. They are not the biggest but they are putting in some real work with the leverage they can generate by leaving no option unexplored. We’re taking notes, are yall? 😉

Check out the song if you have 3 minutes, the movie trailer if you have 2 minutes, or the game if you don’t mind losing 6 months and your self esteem to a 12-year-old who goes by something like “XsuperXhackerX.”
