Larry Ellison just asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.
A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.
Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”
One question. No recovery.
Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”
This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?
Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”
They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.
They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.
And they publish it with absolute certainty.
That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.
Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.
His critics operate in a text editor.
He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.
His loudest critics built a byline.
So why the coordinated hatred?
Because they lost the leash.
The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.
They don’t hate the engineer.
They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.
You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.
They own the syntax.
He owns the physics.
One of them is going to Mars.

One of the comments yesterday under my post said- Sex with a woman over 40 is like filling the tank of a ‘wrecked’ car? Funny, most 40+ women I know are fully serviced, paid off, and run smoother than half the brand-new models.If I were you, I would be more worried about faulty hose or shooting blanks.
And about my ‘empty eggs’, relax. At this stage they’re free-range chickens, organic, and nobody’s trying to hatch anything anyway. We’re just enjoying the ride.
And now excuse me, I have 112kg for 10 reps to beat.
BREAKING 🅱️
30 days after starting an NGO, Stacey Abrams was sent $2 billion dollars by the Biden Admin
She still hasn’t paid back a single penny or been indicted.
Where are all of the arrests we voted for?
🚨SOMALI UNDERCOVERS NEEDED🚨
After @nickshirleyy’s heroic reporting in Minnesota, we are actively recruiting Somali-speaking undercover journalists to expand this investigation.

During Covid, the government and corporate pharmacies turned lifesaving early treatments into forbidden medicine.
HCQ and ivermectin are safe, generic, affordable—yet Americans were denied them.
We’re fighting to make them OTC and end this abuse forever.
Why have we suddenly stopped talking about this
Just a few hours ago a federal judge blocked Trumps DOT from disqualifying immigrants from possessing a CDL
Missouri has shutdown over (170) trucks, that had drivers who couldn't speak English behind the wheel
Ignore this Judge
Elon Musk: You can also ask Grok about anything you see on the platform. You just press the Grok icon on any X post and it'll analyze it for you and research it as much as you want
So you can basically have, just by tapping the Grok icon, you can assess whether that post is the truth, the whole truth, or nothing but the truth, or whether there's something supplemental or needs to be explained
I think we've made a lot of progress towards freedom of speech and people being able to tell whether something is false or not false or propaganda. The recent update to Grok it's actually very good at piercing through propaganda
And then we use that latest version of Grok to create Grokipedia, which I think is a much more, it's not just, I think, more neutral and more accurate than Wikipedia, but it actually has a lot more information than a Wikipedia page
I get these types of inquiries all the time so I figured that it’s better to do a thread and try to address most of your points below about possible changes to the car instead of just a brief reply.
