I used to be self-conscious about my stuttering problem, but seeing Elon comfortable in his skin and achieve the success he has is truly inspiring. My favorite talk of his to date.

[@Jayremy89]

I mostly solved my stuttering and stammering problem. I have partly developed a weak voice too. Mainly from past traumas and maybe head injuries. It took a lot of self reflection and understanding myself. I still do and I still fumble my words, where it is an uncontrolled mumble or false pronunciation under lightest of stress, but it really isa relief to see it can be improved, elon improves and also that people see a figure that dispels judgment on speaking = intelligence or charisma. Elon has a personality and intelligence, people look beyond because they see his success. I am glad he is a good example.

My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. Yet, investing can be challenging and dangerous if done alone. For this reason, I suggest getting professional assistance (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

[@cliftondippolito]

@@Victoriataylor5668 Sincerely, I'm genuinely moved by what you said. I have a sizable amount of money that I am willing to invest if given the appropriate knowledge and I am highly interested in investing. My greatest concern is losing money on a bad investment. I'm open to hearing your advice on how to make sensible investments as a result.

Regardless of what others may say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer frequently advises, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." The secret to succeeding even while others fail is undoubtedly this. Working with financial advisor ALICE ELAINE HAYHURST, I earned $100,000. So far, working with her has been a promising experience.

Some people just can’t cope with the idea that a billionaire can be a good human. They think they have taken away money from others in massive amounts. Like taking away more share of the finite pie. But reality has it that they help growing the pie exponentially, making everybody’s piece bigger and get a fraction of the new pie for them selves, and thats okay because they truly earned it.

*_"Elon is the first in a long time (and only one) who embodies hope"_* not true, looking back at the US presidential campaign of 2019-2020, Elon did endorse Democratic Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang. Andrew championed much needed 21 century solutions in light of the rapid emergence of our historically unprecedented science & technology of AI direct autonomous robotic systems & the potential disruption it has & will increasingly continue to create. As Andrew wisely pointed out, the problem ISN'T Trump! Trump is a symptom of an extreme winner take all form of capitalism thanks to it being on steroids of the technological variety. This sentiment was also expressed by Eric Weinstein as he aptly put it, *_“We think of capitalism as being locked in an ideological battle with socialism, but we never really saw that capitalism might be defeated by its own child - technology.”_* and so the demise of the foundational principle for the continued viability of the most successful socioeconomic system historically, capitalism, is inevitable, & that principle is *'labor for income'.* The critical question is what socioeconomic model design will be the most feasible in our AI directed technological context, we have to acknowledge that none of the historical models cut it.

It's very rare that it'll be less than that. _*_But as far as my predictions are concerned, what tends to happen in the media is that they will report all the wrong ones and ignore all the right ones."_* The implication here is clearly (and I'm pretty sure he's said so elsewhere) that that would only be the case with internal schedules, not public predictions.
