For years I've tracked billionaire excess. Each year I show students a chart that blows their minds. This year I had to redraw it for a trillionaire: Elon Musk, $1.32T. Depressing that we're here. Silver lining: couldn't have happened to a less deserving person, proof that wealth ≠ merit.
Elon Musk's $1.32 Trillion, to Scale
The first trillionaire's fortune, one pixel per $1,000 — scroll past every dollar, and see what a fraction of it could do instead.

JETZT bestätigt: Dramatischer Kurswechsel in der deutschen Wärmepolitik.
Fossile Heizungen bekommen ein Comeback durch die Hintertür. Während die Wärmewende endlich skaliert, sendet die Politik ein Signal der Verunsicherung.
So vertagt man strukturelle Probleme – bis zur nächsten Energiekrise.

Which economy is more productive - Germany or the US? It seems the answer would be clear, but it's not.
The mood in Germany is so deeply negative, even aggressively pessimistic, that I thought we had fallen behind by a lot. But here are the facts - they surprised me as well:

Life situations are bleak right now for a lot of people. In tech, the "Venn Diagram" of (1) positive work and (2) making enough money to support your family is increasingly non-overlapping. We all do what we can.

In den vergangenen Tagen gab es Messerangriffe in Bremen, Lübeck, Ratingen, Erfurt, mehrere in Dortmund und in Berlin. Teilweise mit Toten, mit Schusswechsel mit der Polizei. Von keinem hast du wahrscheinlich gehört. In die Trends kommen nur die Einzelfälle mit Schutzsuchenden. Rate mal, warum.

Markus Söder hat vor kurzem Strafantrag gestellt, weil ihn jemand "Trottel" nannte. Friedrich Merz hat einen Strafantrag gestellt, weil ihn jemand "Arschloch" nannte. Robert Habeck hat Strafantrag gestellt, weil ihn jemand "Schwachkopf" nannte. Nur eine davon löste Empörung aus.
