Tech CEOs Take Turns Praising Trump at White House Dinner
Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman salute president’s leadership on innovation as industry seeks his favor
President Trump on Thursday led leaders of the world’s biggest technology companies in a version of his cabinet meetings, in which each participant takes a turn thanking and praising him,


meanwhile whining all the way to the bank :
https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-offers-mammoth-1-trillion-pay-package-musk-sets-lofty-targets-2025-09-05/

Sept 5 (Reuters) - Tesla's  board has proposed a $1 trillion compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk in what would be the largest corporate pay package in history, underscoring the hold Musk has over the carmaker as it attempts to transform into an AI and robotics powerhouse.
The world's richest person has consistently asked for a bigger stake in the company to gain more control, even as a legal battle over his 2018 pay package - then valued at a mere $56 billion - continues. The newly proposed award is roughly 18 times the size of the contested plan and is close to the company's current market valuation.

What is the criteria you are using to characterize Obama as black?  His mother was white.  His father was African. 

What is the criteria you use to characterize someone as black or white in general?

Emmm..'cause he looks Black  ::)

I dont think so - says he lives in Hawaii - was very right wing
yet seems to be going lefty on some things.
Like Prime he believes he's smarter & knows more than everyone else  ::)
He moist certainty doesn't.

I'm not "right wing."  I'm an independent, but first and foremost an American.  Since you want to act like a creepy mofo and look up my posts from 19 years ago, why don't you try and find me describing myself as anything other than independent. 

And no, I don't believe I am smarter than anyone.  Never said that.  You feel that way because I'm asking you difficult questions.  And you sound very insecure.

I see.  So you consider someone who "looks black" to be black, regardless of their actual ethnic background? 

What about Wentworth Miller, who has the same ethnic background as Obama.  Do you consider him black too?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/09/22/us-ready-to-bail-out-milei-argentina-says-white-house/

America stands ready to bail out Javier Milei’s Argentina, the White House has said.
Following a bout of severe market volatility in Argentina, Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, said “all options are on the table” to support the country.
The offer of an economic lifeline comes after Mr Milei, the Argentine president and ally of Donald Trump, has spent $1.1bn (£820m) of the country’s $20bn reserves to prop up the peso.

Duh -- Dos Equis is a Getbig moderator. Chaos is a Getbig moderator. Moderators have the ability to ban Getbig posters whose posts are out of line. You could ask Donny, who has previous experience with being banned from Getbig.

I definitely understand why you would think this, being as how you have personal experience with behavior that some folks consider as childlike.

I would say that's a pretty stupid statement to make considering you're so wound up about race & creed  ::)

If you were talking about Radical Islamists I would agree, and I created a thread about them years ago.  But all Muslims?  Nah.  Do you have any Muslim friends?  I do.  I wouldn't ship them anywhere.
Here's the thing you can have a very casual opinion on muslims because in your little world in Hawaii there's only 1% & you haven't been flooded with primitive sub humans since 2015.
Now if you perhaps left your sunshine, beaches & chickens & came to Germany & visited Berlin or Hamburg you might learn something.
You talk about non Americans being irrelevant but the reality is your opinions on Muslims is irrelevant to me or anyone else living in a European city or London
In short..you just don't know ..

Christians make up the majority of religious people in Hawaii, with estimates placing them at 63% of the population, while Muslims constitute a very small minority, less than 1% or roughly 5,000 individuals. This difference is significant, reflecting Christianity's long-established presence and majority status on the islands, compared to the more recent and diverse Muslim community.

Assuming what you say is true (that I'm wound up about race and creed), why should I care what you think?  Not seeing a connection.   

You also didn't answer the question about Wentworth Miller.  Is he a black guy too?

You are correct about one thing:  I don't know and don't care about what the experience is in Germany with Muslims. 

I've been around the world (not Germany) and to most states in the U.S.  I have been blessed to be around people from all walks of life and I live in the most diverse state in the U.S.  That's why I'm not a closed-minded bigot.  People are awesome.  And some are rotten.  It's very easy for you to speak disparagingly in broad terms about people on a message board, but it's pretty clear you and your other foreign friend don't spend much time interacting with a broad, diverse group of people.

It's pretty funny that you are using Google to try and tell me about my home.  Imagine me going on Google and trying to tell you about where you live (whether it's Germany or whatever).  You don't see how crazy that would be? 

I created a thread on here 14 years ago and have been updating it ever since about Radical Islam (see below).  I know it's a threat.  What I also know is that it's not right to put all Muslims under that umbrella.  It's a scary proposition, because even if the number of Radical Islamists is a very small percentage of Muslims, there are over 2 billion Muslims in the world, so we could still be talking about a lot of people.  But that doesn't change the overall analysis for me.  We should judge everyone on their own merit.
