Fuck you if you hate on Elon Musk.
I’ve got nothing but two middle fingers for all of you who spend your whole day rooting for him to fail.
Bc when real life hits, a lot of the same people laughing today will end up hoping the technology he built actually works.
When someone you love is in a serious car accident, you’re going to wish cars were smart enough to prevent crashes in the first place. That’s the direction Tesla is pushing with FSD.
When someone loses the ability to move, you’re going to hope companies like Neuralink keep making progress toward helping the brain communicate with computers and potentially restoring lost function.
When powerful people want more control over what can be said on the internet and even censor it, you’re going to understand why having a platform like 𝕏 that fights for open conversation matters.
When a disaster knocks out your internet and cell service, you’re going to be thankful satellites are already above us and Starlink can bring connectivity to places traditional networks can’t reach.
And if humanity ever faces a threat big enough that Earth alone isn’t enough, you’re going to be glad somebody spent decades thinking about rockets, reusable launch systems, Starship, and making life multiplanetary.
Bro… this doesn’t mean Elon is perfect. No one is.
He says crazy shit.
He does crazy shit.
Sometimes he’s early.
Sometimes he’s wrong.
Sometimes he pisses everybody off.
But look at what he chooses to spend his life building… safer transportation, brain-computer interfaces, global internet, free speech infrastructure, energy, robotics, AI, and a path toward another planet.
You don’t have to like the man.
But spending your life hoping he fails is a fool’s game.
I’d rather bet on the person crazy enough to keep trying to solve problems most people are too afraid to even touch.
From everything I’ve seen, his heart is in the right place and his intentions are bigger than himself.
He cares.
Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life.
Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump’s successes.
Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary — and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life.
President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party.
Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over.
Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President’s cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years.
And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role. ♥️🇺🇸
