The Stars and Stripes right in my living room.

An iconic and historic symbol of peace and strength—and a constant reminder of those who gave their all for our freedom.

Happy Flag Day, USA! 🇺🇸

Because she is irrelevant to them. All her haranguing and shrill talk of taxing millionaires and billionaires means zero to them. Entrepreneurs are focused on creating, building, hiring, growing, harvesting, succeeding … and then doing it again and again. They don’t bend to her will and they don’t care what she thinks or says because she’s a grifter, not a contributor. She is like a road bump they travel over every day in their journey to succeed. And like other grifters, she’s irrelevant. Unless and until she goes out and builds something, hires someone, contributes to making society better and people around her better off, she can, should and will be ignored.

[Patricia Heaton @PatriciaHeaton]

Why does she hate success, entrepreneurs and science?

I trust the guy who earned his $1 TRILLION over the 535 idiots who put us in debt $39 TRILLION.

[Joel Pollak @joelpollak]

Envy is a primitive, immoral, and self-destructive impulse.

You grew up rich, went to rich schools and beg rich people for donations.

You don't create wealth; you just covet the wealth others have built.

You need the rich and hate them for it. And it's so juvenile, so tedious.

[Jim Edsel @EdselJim]

@SenMarkey Senator, Elon Musk’s companies employ over 160,000 people worldwide. Those would be “working people struggling to get by” if not for Musk’s vision and determination. What’s actually disgusting is your derision of successful entrepreneurs - the ones who create the jobs and whose money you and your party want to confiscate under the guise of paying “your fair share”. Look in the mirror and ask yourself, “how many jobs have I created? How much value have I created?” Musk should be hailed as a visionary. Imperfect and flawed as we all are, but a man on a mission who does well by doing good. Something the political class should emulate, not vilify.

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. While working people struggle to get by, the billionaire class is becoming the TRILLIONAIRE class. It's disgusting. I'm fighting to tax the rich so we stop rewarding trading stocks over punching clocks.

[Jared Dillian @dailydirtnap]

I have many more issues with Ilhan Omar being worth $30 million than Elon being worth a trillion.

@elonmusk We need the xphone1.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@tim_cook Don’t want it.

Either stop this creepy spyware or all Apple devices will be banned from the premises of my companies.

[Peter Sutherland @econ_713]

@JonahDispatch To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, these people want EVERYONE poorer & struggling so that things are more “even.”

It’s a de-growth, pre-modern, anti-humanist trap.

Americans, old and new, constitutionally reject it & choose to accelerate, build & dream.

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

Team USA captain Christian Pulisic led America to win 4-1 in the World Cup opener.

He is a devout Christian, holds Bible studies with teammates, and openly credits God for carrying him through difficult times

Christianity produces excellence. ✝️

@PlanetOfMemes And never stop questioning politicians when the math just doesn’t add up

And, of course, always question statistical impossibilities in elections.

[Brigitte Gabriel @ACTBrigitte]

💥Newsom. Sanders. Warren. Three politicians. Zero companies built. Combined wealth funded by lobbyists and donor cash.

Elon Musk dominated in: Payments. Cars. Energy. Space. Social Media. Communications. AI

He didn't just succeed he made America stronger.
And that's exactly why they hate him.

[Planet Of Memes @PlanetOfMemes]

Exactly!

[John Bianco @UT_Bianco]

So blessed to bleed orange and work for the @TexasLonghorns at @UTAustin 🤘🏻

It’s sad that you actually believe govt is a better steward of people’s capital and resources than the people who actually create that value. Creators maximize efficiencies. Govt maximizes largesse and waste and inefficiencies.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

This the basic difference.

Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous.

Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

When I give my savings to @elonmusk they multiply. When I give them to you and all of the US government, they disappear.

[Jim Edsel @EdselJim]

Leave it to @SenWarren to find the negative in the Spacex story (irrespective of the wealth created for thousands of employees, other businesses and municipalities) and to want to get govts grifting hands on others possessions. You can’t have socialism without entrepreneurs and capitalism to create the wealth that socialists want to steal. “Your fair share” is the socialists siren song. It’s always those who’ve never created a job, built a business, experienced failure on the way to success who want to tell the creators what’s fair.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.

[Jim Edsel @EdselJim]

An entrepreneur’s #1 character trait: optimism. It provides the fuel and determination to overcome setbacks.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Peter’s eternal optimism is cool
