Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.
Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.
Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start

Tomorrow is the start of Black History Month, which kicks off an entire month of Republicans questioning the need for it, while banning children from learning why it’s needed.

When people fuck up a little they really think you are going to tell their boss. Horrifying. How can you signal to people that I am literally never going to do this ever

I'm back in @FTAlphaville@twitter.com exploring the broader questions opened up in the debate over how best to avoid default after the debt ceiling binds. It is very important to know how seriously the Federal Reserve- & Powell- takes fiscal agent responsibilities.

Can a trillion-dollar coin end the US debt-ceiling standoff? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/31/one-trillion-dollar-coin-debt-ceiling-solution?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=edit_2221&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1675153146

@johnnygbx1@twitter.com @rohangrey@twitter.com You're reasoning backwards from an observation about one specific function of coinage and assuming the existence of a law that states that no other function is permissible. No such law exists, and several laws exist which state the contrary.

I have multiple friends who have had deposit accounts at banks that failed and they didn't notice when their banks closed. They didn't pull their money. They got a new debit account. Their cards never stopped working. That's deposit insurance!
Come get it

Interestingly, if you go to the law and scroll down on the same page, you'll see the other statutory provision where they limit the TsySec's authority to mint coins based on what the Federal Reserve decides is appropriate.
jk jk, there's nothing of the sort.
"Yeah i'm a statutory coinage authority fan"
"oh you mean 5112(k) from '97, yeah i've heard of it"
"Nah that's just the famous provision everyone knows about. I'm into the more their obscure back catalogue from '82, it's way more pure/uncut coinage content"

The bottom line is that Fullwiler was way ahead of the crowd on all of this and anyone who wants to understand how/where MMT parts ways with the mainstream thinking on debt sustainability must read Fullwiler. /end
