I got rich because when I was broke I had nothing to lose. So I took risks and built companies. I became a billionaire because I was fortunate enough to start another tech company when the internet boom hit. I stayed one because I realized that stocks don’t go up forever and hedged my holdings
This is why @mcuban.bsky.social is a billionaire. 🤔

Progressives have repeatedly harassed the shit out of me for taking my husband’s last name because of their bizarre obsession with race.
Do you want to know the real reason I took my husband’s last name?
My adopted family disowned me when I came out. Just threw me away like a piece of trash.

If we extrapolate the current war against Ukraine to World War II (as we often do), at this point, Hitler has invaded Poland but suffered defeats near Warsaw and Krakow, lost Poznan and has been locked in grueling battles for almost three years over completely devastated border districts.
