Apple Built China? OnlyFans Goes Public, and Boeing Walks Free Again! - Video

This week on The Lost Dollar Business Club, Ep 789, we tackle the biggest stories shaking up the business world (and maybe a few rockets too):

???? Did Apple Help Build China?
A new book claims Apple didn’t just make iPhones — it helped China become a global tech superpower. From supply chains to infrastructure, did America’s most valuable company unwittingly empower its biggest rival?

???? BYD Beats Tesla in Europe
China’s EV beast BYD outsold Tesla for the first time in Europe. With a 169% surge in sales, BYD is now in the top 10 while Tesla slips to 11th. Is this the end of Tesla’s dominance abroad?

???????? Sweden Says Yes to Billionaires
Forget socialism. Sweden ditched its inheritance, gift, and wealth taxes — and now has a billionaire problem (or solution?). The FT calls it a “problem.” We call it a bold economic blueprint.

✈️ Boeing May Dodge a Guilty Plea
Despite admitting to deceiving regulators after two deadly 737 MAX crashes, Boeing may avoid a felony conviction under a new deal with the DOJ. Justice for the victims — or just a corporate get-out-of-jail card?

???? OnlyFans Eyes IPO
The adult content platform turned media powerhouse is preparing to go public. Can Wall Street handle NSFW profits, or will investors shy away from too much exposure?

???? Starbase, Texas Is Real Now
Elon Musk’s Mars-focused township has officially been incorporated. Space lovers are celebrating. Local Texans? Not so much. Welcome to the weird frontier of privatized ambition.

???? Tom Cruise’s New Movie — And Our Invite
He’s back with a new blockbuster — and we’ve officially invited him to join The Lost Dollar Business Club. Will he accept? We’re keeping the seat warm, Tom.

If you're tired of sanitized news and want the real business breakdown — bold, blunt, and borderless — you’re in the right place.
