What’s the best non obvious disintermediation threat from Muse? Uber is obvious… I really don’t care about more than get me from point A to point B when using Uber/Lyft/Empower/Waymo/Curb etc. Muse seems bad for Uber bc $UBER almost always (in my exp) is more expensive. But I just habitually use Uber. Might as well just tell Muse to get me from A to B now cheaply? But probably something much better that hasn’t priced in this yet…

i don’t do that. it’s cheesy, irrelevant, and i dgaf. but for you, how about this: donate $10k to my charitable foundation, which supports pediatric cancer, leukemia and autism causes and from which i take zero compensation or economic benefit, and i’ll post my $META trades from Friday and this morning, currently up roughly $1M.
