Dalai Lama, only money makes me happy


Greed is good [karma], Snidely Whiplash?
Yeah, but, hey, Dolly Lamar, I like money. I love money. My Christian friends, who all want to be rich, say "THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil" (Ecclesiastes 5:10, 1 Timothy 6:10). I don't know what "evil" they're talking about, but I'm pretty sure the historical Buddha's main donor, Anathapindika (whose name means "giver of alms," "feeder of the hungry," born Sudatta), was super rich merchant banker, a billionaire in his day and one of the "noble ones," that is, an enlightened person (stream enterer, the first stage of awakening). So it seems to me that it isn't "money" that's the problem so much as the clinging to it -- craving, grasping, longing, yearning, striving, and being greedy and rapacious for it. I'll never have enough. There is no "enough" of an intangible idea of "rich" or "wealthy" or "having enough."

Drug abusing Elon Musk fires himself

Whoa. Man, Joe Rogan, you gotta blow some of this primo herb or synthetic THC like me.

Get behind me, Baldy. - Yes, Sir, Mr. Trump.
South Afrikaner Elon Musk, reputedly the richest man in the world (founder of PayPal, head of Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, Boring, Neuralink Corporation, and DOGE, future king of Mars), has fired himself to save the government money -- and Tesla share's plummeting value. He is getting back to work, except he's always working. How? Drugs -- Adderall (speed), acid (LSD), Special K (ketamine), Molly (MDMA, Ecstasy), magic mushrooms (psilocybin), weed (THC), and whatever else he carries around in a special box for emergency use. Every day is an emergency when one is jumping around, kissing up to Trump, slashing jobs, and trying to salvage his reputation on the world stage to keep working for the government.

Trump tries to lie to Barbara Walters but fails.

Elon's drug use, abuse, and addiction?
"Trump was right about everything." My hat kisses his @$$ not my mouth. Well, my mouth, too.

TACO? "Trump Always Chickens Out."
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) May 29, 2025: Elon Musk’s time as a Special Government Employee for DOGE (Dept. of Gov't Efficiency) has come to end, the court of Int'l Trade ruled unanimously that Trump did not have the authority to implement the "big, beautiful tariffs" he slapped on everyone, Trump blew up at a reporter for asking about his new nickname “TACO” that’s been making the rounds on Wall Street, which stands for “Trump Always Chickening Out.”

He is now reportedly one step closer to settling the ridiculous lawsuit he filed against 60 minutes, he now says he plans to give Russia's Vlad Putin “two weeks” to prove they are serious about a peace deal with Ukraine [otherwise he's going to let them go Israel on Zelensky's butt], America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani wore a crazy outfit, FBI Director Kash "Cross Eyed" Patel sat for an interview with Fox News (swearing pedophile Jeff Epstein was not murdered), RFK Jr. made an announcement about COVID vaccines, and Cousin Micki teaches us where babies come from.

Happy b-day, Elon Musk. SpaceX launch


Born in 1971, when UFOs were big news
A SpaceX rocket is scheduled to launch on founder Elon Musk's birthday (June 28), Friday night from the Santa Barbara County coast in California.

The launch is scheduled for 8:14 pm from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The rocket will soar south along the coast with a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office. [Another US spying agency?] The agency builds and operates the United States' fleet of spy satellites. 

The first-stage rocket booster will land on a droneship at sea. The rocket may be visible from all around Los Angeles, but likely won't offer the dramatic spectacle of past launches against a darker sky, unless it launches later in the two-hour launch window.

I've done everything the CIA asked of me.
Sunset is scheduled for 8:08 pm Friday in Los Angeles, just a few minutes before the launch window opens.

The rocket and its exhaust plume are sometimes visible for hundreds of miles as it soars along the coast, if skies are clear and dark enough.

Sell out the public, and you too can be rich!
Launches after sunset and before sunrise usually provide the best views as the rocket reflects the sun's rays against the backdrop of a darkened sky.

Hawthorne-based SpaceX launched 96 successful [and countless unsuccessful] missions with its Falcon rockets in 2023, eclipsing its previous annual record of 61 orbital launches in 2022. More:

Elon Musk, Last Week Tonight w/John Oliver

John Oliver, Last Week Tonight (HBO); Eds., Wisdom Quarterly
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a bad solution because electricity is made by making pollution, whether it's the burning of coal or the nuclear power plants to come. It's a false solution sold to us to profit from us and fail the environment. Wind, solar, free energy are all better -- but electricity is not something to mandate because COP or Klaus Schwab said so.

Elon Musk to FIGHT Mark Zuckerberg (video)

E! News, 6/22/23; Alex Hern (respected British newspaper The Guardian, 6/22/23); Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon, Sheldon S., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Dear Diary, I will kick the living h*ll out of that li'l punk *ss b*tch anytime anywhere...

Who you call a "b*tch"?
In the red corner, the world’s richest manly man (human), and in the blue corner, the world’s richest and most effeminate millennial:

Twitter's Elon Musk (Tesla, PayPal, SpaceX) and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) have agreed to FIGHT in a cage match, after Musk jokingly suggested the bout in response to efforts by Meta to launch a Twitter competitor.

“I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday in response to a post about Meta’s rumored Threads app.

The app, previously known inside Instagram as Project 92 and Barcelona, has been pitched to celebrities and influencers as a “stable place to build and grow” their audiences.

How did Elon Musk get so rich? Same as Bill Gates: selling us all out to the surveillance state.
.
I'll smoke that punk like weed. Ask Joe Rogan
“At least it will be ‘sane,’” Musk added. “Was worried there for a moment.” When a follower warned that the Twitter boss should watch his words around Zuckerberg, Musk responded: “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.”

What could have been one of many half-thought-out tweets dashed off by Musk -- whose itchy posting finger has already brought him a libel suit from a British diver he labelled a “pedo[phile]” and an SEC demand for a lawyer to vet his missives after he falsely claimed to have “funding secured” to take Tesla private -- became rather more significant when Zuckerberg responded.

In a post on his verified Instagram account, Meta Chief Executive Officer Zuck shared a screenshot of Musk’s challenge with the caption: “Send Me Location.”

The danger for Musk is that Zuckerberg is, apparently, quite good at fighting. [He's been practicing to impress his Asian gal-pal, Priscilla, and/or to overcome his worldwide reputation as a wuss and dweeb.]

Both men seem to have limitless reserves of energy [and money], but where Musk applies that to running five separate companies at the same time, Zuckerberg prefers to get really, really serious about hobbies.

In the past he has spent periods learning Mandarin (Chinese), touring America (in what was widely seen as a dry run for an abortive presidential campaign), and only eating meat he killed with a bow and arrow [like Republican rocker Ted Nugent].

Recently, though, his hobby has been Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), and when he made his competitive debut last month, he won two out of three bouts.

Amber, Johnny's nemesis, agrees with Grimes.
“Zuck’s been training,” said Elena Cresci, a former Guardian journalist and professional Muay Thai (Thai martial arts style kick boxing) champion, “whereas Elon Musk has been tweeting that he doesn’t train beyond throwing his kids up in the air. So on paper it’s [wuss] Zuck. He’s been having a good time doing his little BJJ competitions.’’

One wrinkle is the combatants’ sizes. At an estimated 1.87 meters (6ft 1in) and about 85kg (13stone 5lb), Musk is several weight classes above Zuckerberg, who measures a mere 1.71 meters (5ft 7ins) and less than 70kg (11stone).

All else being equal, that would put Musk at an advantage, even after taking account of the 12-year age gap between the two.

Musk is MUCH bigger [3==D~] than Zuck.
“Elon Musk is just a lot bigger than [the Zucker], so he could just lie on top of him and hope for the best,” Cresci said. That’s not far off Musk’s actual fight plan.

“I have this great move that I call ‘The Walrus,’ where I just lie on top of my opponent & do nothing,” he tweeted.

The ultimate question for the fight, if it does occur, is whether Musk takes it seriously or treats the whole thing as a joke.

I went from Grimes to Amber Depp and back.
“I’ve coached a couple of white-collar fights, and how it usually goes is when it’s their first fight, they get overexcited and gas themselves out in the first round,” Cresci said. “But these are two men with a lot of money at their disposal, so they can pay for as much training as they want.

Look at YouTubers like Logan Paul, who are actually decent boxers now because they can afford to train with the best.”

Missing black Giza pyramid seen on maps

Petra Ortiz, Universe Inside You, 6/4/22; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(Universe Inside You) There was a fourth great pyramid at Giza, alongside the subsidiary small ones. It was made of black stones and is missing now. The Hall of Records, recording the history of the world as kept by extraterrestrials and ancient Egyptians was found but has not been excavated. The American psychic Edgar Cayce was apparently right in his predictions.

Found: Missing satellite pyramid or its remnants?

History's richest man: Black Emperor Musa

Crystal Q., CC Liu, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wikipedia edit

Black Emperor (Mansā) Mūsā (circa 1312–1337 [a]) was the ninth [3] emperor (mansa) of the Mali Empire, Africa, which reached its territorial peak during this king's reign.

Emperor Musa is known for his unimaginable wealth and has sometimes been called the wealthiest person in history, far richer than Mexico's Carlos Slim, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, or Elon Musk.

His riches came from the mining of gold and salt deposits in the Mali Empire, along with the slave and ivory trade [4, 5]. 

At the time of Musa's ascension to the throne, Mali in large part consisted of the territory of the former Ghana Empire, which Mali had conquered.

The Mali Empire consisted of land that is now part of Guinea, Senegal, Mauritania, The Gambia, and the modern state of Mali.

Musa was so rich that when he went on a Muslim pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca in 1324, traveling with an enormous entourage and a vast supply of gold, he disrupted economies.

En route, he spent time in Cairo, Egypt, where his lavish gift-giving is said to have noticeably affected the value of gold in Egypt and garnered the attention of the wider Muslim world.

Buddhist Nalanda: World's first university?
Emperor Musa expanded the borders of the Mali Empire, in particular incorporating the cities of Gao and Timbuktu (a great ancient center of learning and hope to possibly the oldest residential university in history, even older than the oldest known university, Buddhist Nalanda (regarded by scholars as the world's first residential university), which Buddhist records say came after a kind of university system in Taxila or Takkasila, Indo-Pakistan, where the Buddha as the Bodhisatta went to school in a past life (Jataka Tales)] into its territory. More

Emperor Musa of Mali is renowned for his wealth and generosity. Online articles in the 21st century have claimed that Mansa Musa was the richest person of all time [89].

This claim is often sourced to an article in CelebrityNetWorth [89], which claims that Musa's wealth was the equivalent of US $400 billion [90].

CelebrityNetWorth has been criticized for the unreliability of its estimates [91].

Historians such as Hadrien Collet have argued that Emperor Musa's wealth is impossible to accurately calculate [89, 85].

Contemporary Arabic sources may have been trying to express that Emperor Musa had more gold than they thought possible, rather than trying to give an exact number [92].

Furthermore, it is difficult to meaningfully compare the wealth of historical figures such as Mansa Musa, due to the difficulty of separating the personal wealth of a monarch from the wealth of the state and the difficulty of comparing wealth in highly different societies [93].

Emperor Musa may have brought as much as 18 tons of gold on his pilgrimage to Mecca [94], the center of Islam, equal in value to over US $957 million in 2022 [95].

Emperor Musa himself further promoted the appearance of having vast, inexhaustible wealth by spreading rumors that gold grew like a plant in his kingdom [96].

According to some Arabic writers, Emperor Musa's gift-giving caused a depreciation in the value of gold in Egypt.

Al-Umari said that, before Emperor Musa's arrival, a mithqal of gold was worth 25 silver dirhams, but that it dropped to less than 22 dirhams afterward and did not go above that number for at least 12 years [97].

Though this has been described as having "wrecked" Egypt's economy [85], the historian Warren Schultz has argued that this was well within normal fluctuations in the value of gold in Mamluk Egypt [98]. More

How Elon Musk got rich: $230 billion myth

I'm a regular guy smokin with JoRo, not the "richest man in the world" behind Mansa Musa

How Elon Musk Got Rich: The $230 Billion Myth | The Classroom ft. Second Thought
(More Perfect Union) Elon Musk spent decades building something big: himself. Musk managed to sell the world on an imaginary persona of the "visionary genius" billionaire working his hardest to save the world. And it’s worked.

Look, I'm going bald...in reverse, b*tches!
The myth of Elon Musk has made him a lot of money.  But what did it cost to get him there? And what does it mean that the richest man in the world built that wealth purely on an image of himself?

Let's take a deep look into Musk’s entire career: court documents, SEC filings, and interviews to break down the story Elon tells about himself and how he leveraged it to accumulate wealth and power.
