- The Thiel Fellowship gives $100k to 25 kids a year to drop out of college and start a company. This morning a Thiel Fellowshow recipient (now 25 years old) just sold a self-driving car startup he started with his $100k for $3.4 billion at age 18. Hell yeah.
- What’s the difference between a $10m, $100m, and $1b lifestyle? Asked this question in Hampton's Slack community since we have people worth $10m - $2b. A few takeaways from the 50+ replies: $50k – $100k liquid • The first “I feel rich” for many in 20s. • Bills stop

00:00 - This is horrible leadership. I’m on board with strict borders. But mocking them? This is embarrassing and shameful.
- This is insane. Makes me ashamed of nyc. And fearful. Mamdani is a fool.BREAKING: Mamdani surges as clear favorite in the NYC Mayoral primary. 61% chance he wins.
- I damn near almost forgot: Elon Musk is a cofounder of OpenAI. Wild.
