💎 WTF of the Day

Musk’s DOGE Crew Wants Treasury’s Books

Elon Musk’s legal team is demanding access to the U.S. Treasury’s accounting data as part of a lawsuit tied to his Dogecoin legal battle. They claim the government isn’t being transparent about how it tracks and enforces financial policies, and they want hard numbers to prove it.

The case started as a $258 billion lawsuit accusing Musk of manipulating Dogecoin’s price, but now it’s spiraling into a fight over how the government handles financial records. If the court grants access, it could expose hidden details about how the Treasury tracks transactions, enforces tax policies, and regulates digital assets. Either way, this case just got a lot bigger than Dogecoin.

CPA Program Boosts African American Accountants

The Indiana CPA Society just launched a new partnership aimed at bringing more Black professionals into accounting. With CPA numbers shrinking and diversity still a major issue in the field, this initiative is looking to change that.

The program will focus on mentorship, scholarships, and direct career pathways to help more Black students and professionals get into and stay in the industry. With firms struggling to recruit and retain talent, this could be a blueprint for other states to follow.

LinkedIn Is a $16B Gold Mine for Microsoft

LinkedIn might feel like a cringe-fest of hustle posts, but it’s quietly making $16 billion a year for Microsoft. Between job ads, premium memberships, and corporate tools, it’s turned into one of the company’s most reliable cash cows.

While other social platforms struggle, LinkedIn keeps growing—150 million new users last year, proving that people will always pay to network (or at least pretend to). Love it or hate it, LinkedIn isn’t going anywhere.
