Exploring alternative paths to monetization beyond traditional advertising
Advertising has long been the default answer for monetization, but it comes with real tradeoffs, user trust, experience, and long-term loyalty. The executives pushing back on that assumption are right to ask what else is possible. Subscription tiers, usage-based pricing, and data-driven models each offer viable paths, and the conversation deserves more than a shrug. The same spirit of questioning convention drove Ramp's $2B revenue milestone, proving that alternative approaches can scale.
A 120-day study enlists Musk and Luckey to map the future of war
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just launched a 120-day study on the future of warfare, enlisting Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. It makes sense given their ties to the administration, but critics will note that Musk's and Luckey's companies already sell the technologies this study is likely to recommend. We expect a report that validates its own sponsors.
