In 2008, Elon Musk wasn't a billionaire. He was broke, divorced, and borrowing rent money. Tesla and SpaceX were 48 hours away from bankruptcy. He didn't survive because of his IQ. He survived because he fought for liquidity until the 11th hour. The truth is that money is oxygen. Drowning at 10 feet feels exactly the same as drowning at 10,000 feet. You aren't smarter when you are funded - you are just alive. Miracles are great. Funding is better.

In 2026, "Safety" is not free. It is the most expensive subscription service you are paying for. 💸 You think doing nothing costs $0? Wrong. You are standing on a moving walkway going backward. Energy is up 7.7%. Wages are flat. If you wait another year to start, you aren't saving money—you are paying a $72,000 "Safety Tax" for the privilege of being bored. 📉 Stop negotiating with your potential. The bill is due. Do the math. 🧮
