My father gave 28 years to this country, earning the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Purple Heart, and multiple Bronze Stars for valor in Vietnam. He was the most decorated graduate The Citadel ever produced.
He was not just an American hero, but my hero. More than anything, I wish he could be here today.
$1.2 BILLION of alleged fraud. Though past administrations turned a blind eye to fraud, @POTUS and @JDVance are committed to crushing fraudsters and defending American taxpayers.
Elon on why tunnels are the ultimate traffic hack:
“Something that maybe is worth considering is tunnels… I have this company called The Boring Company which sounds kind of boring, but it literally bores tunnels 😂
In order to solve traffic, you really need to go 3D with roads. By using tunnels, you can essentially create a wormhole like a warp tunnel from one part of a city to another
We’ve already done this proof of concept in Vegas. There are working tunnels in Las Vegas that you can use, and it feels like teleporting from one part of Vegas to another”
"Tunnels are underappreciated”
A U.S. Air Force F-35 stealth fighter jet is refueled over the Middle East by a KC-135 Stratotanker. U.S. forces continue to routinely patrol the skies.
.@POTUS on Artificial Intelligence: "If improperly used, it could be [dangerous]... It's unbelievable for good. You're going to have medical cures coming up 25 years early because of it... But you have to watch."
Growing up in the West teaches you the importance of working hard, respecting the land and leaving things better than you found them.
America is vast, beautiful and abundant. We don’t have to choose between conservation and prosperity—we can do both.

Elon Musk:
“If one immigrates to any given country, they must respect the laws and culture of that country and contribute to that country to the best of their ability, doing no harm.
That applies to ALL countries.”
SPACEX's PROJECT STARFALL
SpaceX is targeting 6.43 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of its Starfall Demo Capsule from Cape Canaveral SFS, FL
Starfall is not a traditional conical capsule. It features a flat, circular, disc-like form factor designed for autonomous space manufacturing and rapid global cargo delivery.
The circular capsule measures 3.1 meters (10.2 feet) in diameter and 0.75 meters (2.5 feet) in height and
has a dry mass of approximately 2,100 kilograms (4,630 lbs).
Starfall features a two-part split structure comprising a 1,400 kg aluminum top plate and a 700 kg carbon-fiber heat shield.
PAYLOAD CAPACITY
Its internal payload bay measures 2.5 × 1.5 × 0.5 meters, allowing Syarfall to transport up to 1,000 kilograms (2,205 lbs) of return cargo.
GUIDANCE & PROPULSION
Starfall lacks a dedicated chemical propulsion system for independent deorbit maneuvers, relying on its launch vehicle or an external kick-stage to enter a reentry trajectory.
For orientation and attitude control, the craft utilizes a network of cold-gas thrusters supplied by nitrogen tanks housed within the heat shield.
REENTRY & RECOVERY
Starfall uses its carbon-fiber thermal protection system to manage atmospheric heating.
Deceleration is handled by a sequence consisting of a pilot chute, a drogue parachute, and a single main parachute. The 700 kg heat shield is mechanically jettisoned shortly before splashdown, after which SpaceX recovery vessels retrieve all spacecraft components from the ocean.
