The first man to walk on the Moon didn’t believe in it. Neither did the last.

Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan both stood before Congress and testified against the kind of spaceflight he was building.

His heroes, on the record against the one thing he had bet everything on.

All he ever wanted was to make the world look up again.

Musk: “Capture the imagination, yes. That was the idea.”

Then a reporter said their names to his face.

Pelley: “Neil Armstrong, Gene Cernan have both testified against commercial spaceflight, in the way that you’re developing it.”

Musk: “I was very sad to see that, because those guys are heroes of mine. So it’s really tough.”

He is fighting back tears as he says it. The man building the future, gutted that his own heroes couldn’t see it.

And he was already bleeding. Three rockets had blown up. The company had money for one more launch and nothing after that.

Pelley: “When you had that third failure in a row, did you think, ‘I need to pack this in’?”

Musk: “Never.”

Pelley: “Why not?”

Musk: “I don’t ever give up.”

This week SpaceX went public. The largest IPO that has ever happened.

He became the first trillionaire who has ever lived.

That same week, more than 4,400 of his people became millionaires.

The welders. The machinists. The ones who served lunch in the cafeteria. Everyone who believed when his own heroes wouldn’t.

Remember that the next time someone you look up to tells you to stop.

The people you admire will not always see what you see. Sometimes the whole room is certain you are wrong.

That is where most people fold. Not because they stopped believing, but because someone they respected did.

But the doubt of people watching from a distance never reaches the ones standing beside you.

Conviction is contagious to anyone close enough to feel it.

Bleed for something and the right people stop working for you and start building with you.

His heroes told him no. He built it anyway.

Never bet against Elon Musk.

Let’s be real here. Europe has spent decades freeloading on American security. Even now, with every NATO member finally hitting the 2% GDP target in 2025.

But beyond the financial contributions, the real rupture is philosophical and the Iran crisis has shown a spotlight on it.

Europe worships process. Endless committees, consultations, and “predictability.” Macron actually calls it a virtue. For Trump, this is paralysis as his style is to articulate a threat, fix a target, and act. The Americans are men of conviction and purpose. Europe on the other hand lives by bureaucratic liturgy and in high-minded abstractions.

Sure, Americans might make mistakes when acting. But Europe never considers what the costs of not acting actually are.

Just look at how their nations are doing on various fronts, especially on the border crisis, and you see the same cancerous rot that undergirds their foreign policy approach play out domestically. It's the same problem on a different scale.

Iran is currently holding the Strait of Hormuz hostage, choking 20% of global oil and spiking prices past $100 a barrel. Meanwhile, the regime is bleeding from strikes, its nuclear ambitions are still alive despite degraded capability, and its proxies are firing missiles at allies and oil tankers. If this isn’t a clear and present danger to the global economy - of which Europe is a part - then I don’t know what is.

Yet when Washington asked to use European bases to finish the job - bases the US has defended for generations, the response was hesitation and hand-wringing. The US did strike from RAF Fairford, but only after warnings that British soil could become a “legitimate target.”

If you cannot agree that a theocratic regime with eschatological ambitions who have shown no restraint in hitting out at Gulf countries and threatening the world’s energy jugular is an enemy worth confronting, then what, exactly, are we allies about?

Europe loves to preen about being tough on Russia. They issue condemnations and speeches and slap sanctions that hardly work to cripple the Russian economy.

Now here was a chance to do something concrete: let the Americans use the bases they already pay for, help clear the Strait, and actually degrade the Iranian war machine that arms Moscow’s proxies. Turmp didn’t ask for boots on the ground or any kind of more offensive action. All he wanted was permission to operate from the infrastructure America has underwritten for decades.

They couldn’t even manage that.

So can you blame the Americans for seeing NATO for what it is? A paper-tiger alliance that expects Washington to bleed and pay while Brussels and London convenes and deliberates.

If Europe refuses to treat Iran as the threat it is while happily letting American power keep the Strait open and the lights on, then the alliance is already dead. Trump is simply stating the obvious and the Americans are becoming very reluctant to subsidize the European delusion any longer.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

@AiwithYasir @Alexcoderzx Excellent analysis. Contrarian view > Trump took Kharg to neutralize Iranian Yuan strategy. If Trump controls distribution he doesn’t need to worry about sanction maneuvering. Dangerous game but he has literal guns in Kharg crosshairs. Without Kharg, Iran is done.

@ErikSTownsend #MAGA we all hate war, but on Iran, It basically comes down to whether you trust Trump or not. I have my doubts, but I trust him.

@KenPaxtonTX Once again, @KenPaxtonTX you’re proving your sacrifice, courage and relentless support for MAGA. Brilliant strategy to expose SAVE obstructionist. @realDonaldTrump

We are with you @KenPaxtonTX

[Attorney General Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX]

The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done.

I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.

John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now, Fake News reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation.

The truth is clear: No one has been more loyal to Donald Trump than me—fighting the stolen 2020 election, being in Mar-a-Lago when he announced his 2024 campaign, and standing with him in NY in the face of lawfare.

For the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump's agenda, I am determined to help him get this done.

@CarolineWren Great take @CarolineWren. MAGA Texan here AND WE LOVE Trump but he needs to stay out of it. Great job on War Room. You are always a must watch ;-)

It’s Ken Paxton for U.S. Senate or it’s a BUST!!

RT if you agree!!

[Zā Curtis @DeplorableDoc]

@WriterRomana @KurtSchlichter @realDonaldTrump Interesting take. I like Paxton more as AG than Senator but getting him confirmed will be brutal.

[Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter]

If @realDonaldTrump endorses Cornyn after Cornyn just said he was going to promote amnesty, it might be the biggest mistake Trump has ever made.
And Trump will be embarrassed when Paxton wins because everyone on the right in TX is going to double down for him to demonstrate that it was an error.
It's libs saying Trump will do it, and they desperately want him to be humiliated and stab his own people in the back. it's a trap.
Don't do it @realdonldTrump.

[Zā Curtis @DeplorableDoc]

@KurtSchlichter @realDonaldTrump As Texan 100% agree! Escalator Trump supporter but endorsing Cornyn could cost him mid terms. His fear is damage Cornyn would do on way out. (Save Act, Judges…) He just needs to stay out of it.
