How not to win friends and influence people. Sorkin didn't see that coming.
Elon Musk claims advertisers are trying to ‘blackmail’ him, says ‘Go f--- yourself’ PUBLISHED WED, NOV 29 20235:26 PM ESTUPDATED THU, NOV 30 20239:36 AM EST thumbnail Lora Kolodny
KEY POINTS In recent weeks, Musk has promoted and sometimes verbally endorsed what the White House called “antisemitic and racist hate” on X, formerly Twitter, the social media platform he owns and runs as CTO. Those posts led large advertisers, including Disney, Apple and many others, to suspend campaigns there. At the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York on Wednesday, Musk scoffed at advertisers’ boycotts. “If somebody’s going to try to blackmail me with advertising,” he told interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin, “Go f--- yourself.” https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/29/elon-musk-to-advertisers-who-are-trying-to-blackmail-him-go-f----yourself.html?qsearchterm=elon%20musk
It's an interesting concept for their workers and since it's a 125 Cafeteria Plan Fed Ex reaps some benefits as well if you understand how those plans work.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.
We cut the benefit umbilical cord and he is on his own benefits now.
FedEx has amazing benefits which explains why they are non-union. Their 401K plan is administered by Vanguard and they match 200% for the first 2% then 100% for the next 4%.
There is a back story to all this which I will email you about.
"Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A, BRK-B) cut its exposure to a number of well-known American companies in the third quarter, exiting stakes in General Motors Co. (GM), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and Procter & Gamble Company (PG).
But Berkshire also made a $8 million bet on another American institution: major-league baseball.
The Omaha, Neb.-based conglomerate took a new position in Atlanta Braves Holdings (BATRA), the holding company for the team that finished the recent baseball season with the league's best record. The Atlanta Braves last won the World Series in 2021."
"Buffett has a long-time affinity for baseball, frequently citing his admiration for the hitting of Boston Red Sox great Ted Williams, the last player to hit over .400 in a season (1941). At one time he owned a minority stake in the minor-league team that plays in Omaha."
Thanks. FDX recently promoted the kid to manager. Been attending classes run by them for the last couple of weeks. He has made quite the transformation from gym shorts and tees to polos and chinos. lol.
Next up he gets a shot at managing part of the hub.
I'm moving $5K a month into Fidelity for him and recently picked up some more F and TFC. The cash is going into a money market, SPAXX which is yielding 4.99%
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels.
What Mike Krzyzewski said about Bob Knight's death after complex relationship: 'Deeply saddened' Gabriela Carroll USA TODAY NETWORK
"Coach Knight recruited me, mentored me, and had a profound impact on my career and in my life," Krzyzewski said in the statement, in part. "Our family is deeply saddened by his passing."
We’ve obtained a statement from former #Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski on the passing of his former coach Bob Knight: pic.twitter.com/yEN6fpH7bs
Bob Knight and Coach K history Knight coached Krzyzewski at Army from 1966-69, just before Knight left in 1971 to coach at Indiana. Once Krzyzewski finished his military service, he started his coaching career as an assistant under Knight at Indiana, for one season in 1974-75.
Krzyzewski was hired at Army the following season and stayed through 1980. His five-season tenure ended when he was named head coach at Duke in 1980 and grew into a legend of college basketball.
But Krzyzewski struggled in his early career to get out from Knight's shadow. In 1987, Knight's Indiana team beat Krzyzewski's Duke team in the NCAA tournament.

Bob Knight and Coach K relationship sours at 1992 Final Four Ahead of a 1992 Final Four matchup between Duke and the Hoosiers, a Sports Illustrated article was published that rankled Knight, according to Ian O'Connor's biography of Coach K.
“In 1987, Indiana beat Duke in the Midwest Regional semifinals, a crucible that a friend of Krzyzewski’s describes as the ‘divorce’ between the two coaches, because Krzyzewski wanted so badly to eliminate the notion that he was nothing without Knight’s patronage,” the article said. “Since then Coach K has taken every opportunity to outline their many differences while still staying on Knight’s good side – wherever that is – undoubtedly a stickier task than teaching dozens of trophy makers how to spell his name."
According to the biography, the two had a frosty interaction at the Final Four after Duke beat Indiana 81-78, where Knight wrote Krzyzewski a note.
After Knight addressed the media postgame, he congratulated the waiting Duke players, but “walked right by (Krzyzewski) without saying a word or shaking his hand,” O'Connor wrote in the biography.
The interaction left Krzyzewski teary-eyed despite advancing to the national championship game.
Stock dividend increases are way down so far in 2023. Haven't read much about that. Luckily div cuts are almost non existent and the S&P is up 14% YTD.

Spoke to my cousin in New Bern last night and he lives far enough away from the river where he saw no flooding. We'll be heading down to Carolina Beach in 10 days for a week in the sun hopefully.
F needs to hurry up and settle. It wouldn't hurt for the CEO to take a pay cut as a sign of good will.
All my old NC haunts got some major rainfall.... New Bern (married), Jacksonville (honeymoon at Sears), Emerald Isle / Atlantic Beach (USMC weekends) and Morehead City.... Would love to travel back in time and relive those years....loved NC !!
The rift became apparent after Nicole participated in Jamie Johnson's 2006 documentary, "The One Percent," which delved into the lives of America's wealthiest individuals and their families. Buffett was not happy with her participation and sent her a letter stating, "I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin."
Nicole was very close to and Bufett’s first wife, Susan, who passed away in 2004. Despite being separated since 1977, Susan maintained an active role in philanthropy and was known for her compassion. In her will, she named Nicole as one of her "adored grandchildren," leaving her a sum of $100,000. Susan's will noted that Nicole "shall have the same status and benefits ... as if they were children of my son, Peter A. Buffett."
Sequoia and Andreessen to take a huge hit on their 2021 Instacart investment, after a 75% plunge in valuation PUBLISHED FRI, SEP 15 20233:44 PM EDTUPDATED FRI, SEP 15 20236:39 PM EDT thumbnail Ari Levy
KEY POINTS Venture firms Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz invested $50 million each in Instacart at the tech market’s peak in 2021. Based on Instacart’s latest IPO prospectus, the value of those investments has sunk by more than three-quarters. Instacart is trying to crack open an IPO market that’s been closed for venture-backed companies for 21 months, but it won’t be easy.
