Dear Elon (@elonmusk, @SpaceX, @grok),
My name is Brandon Titus (@TheBrandonTitus) and I’m writing this with a heavy heart and a sliver of hope, knowing it’s a longshot for you to even see it amid everything on your plate. But as the creator of Grok (who helped draft this), you know better than anyone how AI can amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard. If there’s any “inside track” or way to bump this up—maybe through xAI channels or your team—I’m begging for that edge, because this is the most important request I’ve ever made. Once my dad’s gone, there’s no second chance.
He’s 67, fought liver cancer for five grueling years since retiring, and now his health is fading fast. He hasn’t been the same since the July 4th floods, which wiped out everything including my family’s home and my father’s motorhome. I swam through raging waters to pull him off the roof of my tool shed. My sister relocated him to Marble Falls so she could aid with his medical care while my wife and I rebuild our house for us and 5 or our 7 children that still live at home.
My father has always been rocket-obsessed, from my earliest childhood memories of him explaining launches to me and the two of us building / launching Estes Rockets of all sizes. Then you come along and single handedly saved our nations freedom of speech and seared your name in my father’s heart. You’re one of few people he’s ever held in such high regard. When you caught that first booster, he was transfixed, grinning ear-to-ear like I hadn’t seen in years. Heck, He started an X account solely to keep up with and track SpaceX milestones; it’s been his brightest light through the cancer battles. I never thought I’d see him integrate with technology.
His final lap is weighing heavy on me and memories are my top priority. He has 1 desire (His only bucket list item): Seeing a launch live. Starbase in Texas would be perfect—we’re close, and I can get him there. But with no dates on the near calendar, I’d scrape together funds, I’d even take a second mortgage if needed for Florida, it’s that important. I will figure out the finances if there’s any way you could make it personal—a meet-and-greet, or even just a quick video message—it’d be priceless. His birthday is coming up on February 6. I’m not confident hell see another one.
Honestly Elon, you’re building the future Dad’s always dreamed of. I would be forever grateful if you were able to help me make this memory happen. If there’s any chance this makes hits your radar, know that there couldn’t be a better man for this to happen to. His name is Michael Titus!
DM, reply or anything
Deepest Regards,
🤞🏻 Brandon Titus
Today I returned to the Downey Animal Shelter and sat down with Sergeant Vega and the facility manager, Joe. After everything, they agreed to release the German Shepherd they had named Sherman into my care.
I’m deeply grateful to everyone who spoke up, shared his story, and showed compassion when it mattered most. Because of that support, Sherman is no longer just a number on a kennel door… he’s finally free.
From this day forward, Sherman gets the life he’s always deserved.
I drove 500 miles to Los Angeles to rescue a German Shepherd who was red listed for euthanasia.
The shelter told me he was adoptable.
They approved it.
They walked the dog out to me.
I was filming. We were about to load him into the van.
Then I was stopped.
They pulled me aside and said “there was a mistake.”
A clerical error.
Someone entered his behavioral score wrong in the system, which is why he was ever listed as adoptable in the first place.
Once they realized their mistake, they reversed the adoption.
And now, because they corrected their paperwork, they’re going to kill him anyway.
I work with difficult dogs all the time.
This dog is not aggressive.
He’s terrified, stressed, and stuck in a concrete nightmare.
Call Sergeant Vega at 562-658-2085 and ask why dog A5745484 is being euthanized because of a data entry error.
This is what “process over life” looks like.
This is what bureaucracy does when no one pushes back.
DHS is on the ground in Minneapolis, going DOOR TO DOOR at suspected fraud sites.
The American people deserve answers on how their taxpayer money is being used and ARRESTS when abuse is found. Under the leadership of @Sec_Noem, DHS is working to deliver results.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
I’ll never understand why anyone would short $BYND at $0.50. The risk/reward makes zero sense. Best case you make 0.50/share..worst case it squeezes you into oblivion.
@ualifiaraujo@CryptoCapo_ He’s literally been a bear since bitcoin was at $10k and ETH below $2k. He’s missed everything. A small retrace doesn’t make him right. My 2 year old could say uppies or downies and be right at some point.
