ELON MUSK URGES SUPPORTERS NOT TO DONATE TO WIKIPEDIA AFTER IT SPENT $50M ON DEI: ‘WOKEPEDIA’ (NYP)
Elon Musk urged his supporters not to donate to the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia after the organization budgeted more than $50 million to spend on controversial diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
“Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority,” Musk wrote Tuesday on X, where he has nearly 210 million followers.
I have to agree with you there. Synthetic diamonds are killing the industry. DeBeers is going to have to get into some growing industry or disappear entirely.
Was looking at some of the synthetic diamonds in settings recently. They are not all that cheap when set in precious metals, probably a real substitute for engagement rings etc. Maybe other gemstones will become more popular. Emerald engagement rings anyone?
Cheers

Cordoba Minerals Arranges US$10 Million Bridge Financing with JCHX
A text book case of technology taking over. The market suffered a bit with the introduction of cubic zirconia, but now you can grow real diamonds cheaply, what is the point of owning a natural diamond vs. a commercially grown one? And how long before commercially grown ones can imitate flaws such that it’s impossible to distinguish between them? Bye-bye de Beers. You won’t be able to monopolise diamond production!
Now that the only point ever in giving a girl a big rock was to impress her (and her mother) with your wealth (or borrowing capacity) has now been rendered impotent, will the tradition of sparkly engagement rings disappear? And what marketing scam will replace it?
Trump 2.0 has a whole different feel about it. I think his team makes a big difference, as well as “X” and his social media presence. The real truth and story is able to get out to the public instead of being suppressed by the MSM.
So refreshing to see these politicians, especially the RINO’s called out held to account.
I hope he can get the world calmed down a bit and then square up the cheating in the elections.
Hope anyway.

I saw that pm’s were up a little, but everything else except oil was down. (and TSLA) And I saw that the Aircoin was down 4%, after almost hitting $100K again yesterday. In fact, all the other air coins were down too. And then I looked again and saw that even the pm shares were up a little, and GDXJ was up over 1%
I also saw that rates were up another 3 bips as the dollar was flat. And I thought, “what kind of voodoo nonsense is this? Surely it can’t be true, and surely it won’t last long.”

Merry Christmas…
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2024, not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the o nly America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.
To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas in the day of our Lord Jesus and a Happy New Year
