More Background: How Not to Buy SpaceX Stock (It’s Harder Than You Think)"If Elon Musk’s new public offering of SpaceX stock was an appealing investment, he would let investors make our own decisions about buying it. Instead, with the help of the NASDAQ stock exchange, he is sneaking it into our retirement accounts whether we want it or not."https://cranberries.medium.com/how-not-to-buy-spacex-stock-its-harder-than-you-think-a37610cb8bd3Free link: https://archive.is/71GCn (thanks Molly B @mjibrower !!!)5/#SpaceX #SpaceXIPO

More Background: The Verge | SpaceX IPO is great for Elon Musk and terrible for you“The likelihood the shares wind up in many people’s retirement accounts means that if SpaceX fails, the people who get hit are not the wised-up early investors but basically a bunch of normal people, the ones who can least afford it."https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/940001/elon-musk-spacex-ipo-ai7/#SpaceX #SpaceXIPO

Financial News: AFT’s Weingarten Demands ‘Extraordinary Scrutiny’ of SpaceX IPO to Protect Workers’ Retirements and Investor Rights"Weingarten urges the SEC to reject any attempt to fast-track SpaceX’s listing until all concerns are addressed. She also calls on the SEC to collaborate with Nasdaq and S&P to reverse the “fast entry” rule, which lets companies like SpaceX join indexes just 15 days after going public, instead of waiting three months."https://www.aft.org/press-release/afts-weingarten-demands-extraordinary-scrutiny-spacex-ipo-protect-workers-retirements#SpaceX #SpaceXIPO

Financial News: A Danish pension fund has blacklisted SpaceX, calling it grossly overvalued with catastrophic governance"...concerns echo those of far larger institutions. In May, the heads of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the New York City Retirement Systems, and the New York State Common Retirement Fund, which collectively manage more than $1 trillion, sent a joint letter to Musk calling SpaceX’s governance “extreme.”https://thenextweb.com/news/danish-pension-spacex-blacklist-governance-overvalued#SpaceX #SpaceXIPO

@dangillmor @SeanCasten Agreed. Sean Casten is a constant reminder of what the Fediverse could and should be.

Ken White, aka Popehat, a lawyer and popular poster on #Bluesky was recently suspended (https://www.popehat.com/p/a-bit-of-tedious-drama-at-bluesky). Suspension now over, Ken writes:"...I believe that returning after a suspension carries with it an implicit promise that I won’t post that, or something like it, again. I won’t make that promise, so I won’t return to Bluesky."Indeed, Bluesky is demonstrating they can extort censorship with the ban hammer. Other users are put on notice it's not you this time, toe the line.1/

We've seen this movie before. In 2023 journalist Taylor Lorenz @taylorlorenz was suspended from Twitter ironically also for posting about Elon Musk, initiating a regime of increasing censorship and control over user content, mostly self enforced to avoid the same fate.Bluesky users take note, this is about freedom of expression and the chilling effect of knowing you may be banned for stepping over arbitrary lines set by the owners of your centralized platform. https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/1095333154019433352/RT: https://mastodon.online/users/mastodonmigration/statuses/109533315401943335

Why is it different here? The answer is obvious, but bears repeating. The Fedi is truly a #decentralized network.If the owners of your instance suspend your account, you actually do have the option to set up shop on another instance and continue to interact on the network. You are not banned from the network. No one has that power.And, importantly here it is the owners who must be careful not to alienate users with capricious rules. The dynamic is reversed. Here the users have the power.3/

@dangillmor Why do you think this is Dan? IMO the shift goes back to AG Sulzberger's ascension.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Beautiful. As he famously said, "we are made of star stuff," and, like the stars, we are all such amazing beneficiaries of chance.

Recently been noticing that friends who brag about how much they love Claude are getting stupider and less interesting. It's like hanging out with a drunk.
