Airbnb founder co founder joins Musk at new Dept of Government Efficiency

[Helen3]

I was shocked to read that Airbnb co founder Joe Gebbia is joining Elon Musk at this new government  department which has already sacked 10,000 in a government  witchunt - with no notice or reason.

It certainly doesn't align with the Airbnb brand of being open and welcoming to all.

It's an attractive proposition. 

No, not the job for Joe Gebbia, but the removal of any barriers to profitability, i.e., shutting down regulatory watchdogs and such. Now they'll be able get away with almost anything with impunity. And that means profits.

That's pretty attractive to any billionistic business, and may explain the mass acquiescence of most market leaders. This one is no different. 

It will have consequences though. But like any love, all is fair, and they don't care. Euphoria has no worry. Until it all comes crashing down. But that's not going to happen, right? Just like last time.

Put some money away. You're probably going to need it.
