This collective outcry by the left over Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, which is misleading in the first place because virtually all of that wealth is tied up in stocks rather than sitting in a bank account, is another reminder, not that we needed one, that among those on the left who genuinely believe what they are saying, economic illiteracy is rampant.

Their entire worldview is framed by the zero sum game. If someone has a bigger piece of the pie, then someone else must have lost some pie. They simply cannot grasp the concept that Elon Musk singlehandedly made the pie a whole lot bigger for millions and millions of people. It just doesn't compute for them.

This also happens to be a damning indictment of the schools, universities, and media institutions the left dominates.

Net worths of politicians whining about Elon Musk’s fortune from SpaceX:

🔵 Ro Khanna: $250+ million (inherited)
🔵 Gavin Newsom: $30 million
🔵 Elizabeth Warren: $12 million
🔵 Bernie Sanders: $5 million (plus 3 houses)

A bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites.

Occasionally I get shit for being so pro-Elon.
3 big reasons why:

#1 He's done more for free speech than Congress who swore to defend it -- both parties.

This matters because America sets the global Overton. And without free speech humanity are sheep to the slaughter.

#2 He's our greatest innovator since Thomas Edison.

When I used to teach MBA Steve Jobs was the ultimate innovator. Jobs -- who invented nothing -- can't touch Elon.

#3 The problems Elon's tackling are among most important.

A lifeboat for humanity, existential risk from AI, the survival of truth, demographic collapse. This isn't colored Macs.

In 1963, New York City committed what one critic called an act of vandalism against its own soul. It tore down the most beautiful building it had ever built, and it has regretted it every day since.

The building was Pennsylvania Station, and for half a century it was one of the great rooms of the world...

It opened in 1910, designed by the architects McKim, Mead & White, and it covered eight acres in the heart of Manhattan. Its main waiting room was modeled on the Baths of Caracalla in ancient Rome, with ceilings that rose 150 feet into the air.

Sunlight poured down through vast steel-and-glass canopies onto the concourse below. To step off a train and walk up into that light was, for millions of arriving travelers, the moment New York announced itself.

A historian, Vincent Scully, famously wrote that, through it, one entered the city like a god. One scuttles in now like a rat...

Because in 1963, the railroad, losing money and sitting on immensely valuable land, sold the air rights above the station. The great building was condemned. Wave by wave, the pink granite columns were pulled down and dumped in a New Jersey swamp, and a low, windowless complex of Madison Square Garden and an office tower was built on top of the surviving tracks.

There was no law to stop it. At the time, nothing in New York protected a historic building from destruction, however beloved. Leading architects stood outside in protest as the demolition began. It made no difference...

But something came out of the loss. The destruction of Penn Station horrified the public so deeply that it gave birth to the modern preservation movement in America. New York passed its landmarks law in 1965, and that law would later save Grand Central Terminal from the very same fate.

In a way, Penn Station became more powerful in death than it had ever been in life.

It’s really true that we never truly know what we have until we lose it... the columns of Penn Station could not be saved. But every landmark that still stands in New York today stands partly because of what their loss awakened in the people who watched them fall.

Ada Louise Huxtable, the first architecture critic of The New York Times, wrote of the demolition in 1963: "The tragedy is that our own times not only could not produce such a building, but cannot even maintain it."

OTD in 1864: 100,000 men vanished overnight, and the greatest general of the age had no idea where they went. This might be the most underrated move of the Civil War.

Context: Grant had just spent ten days locked in trench warfare at Cold Harbor, Virginia, after a frontal assault on June 3 that cost him thousands of men in under an hour. He admitted it was the worst mistake of his career. The armies were so close that soldiers could not lift their heads above the dirt in daylight.

Everyone, including Lee, expected Grant to do what every Union commander before him did after a bloody repulse: retreat north and regroup.

Instead, on the night of June 12, Grant did something audacious. He pulled the entire Army of the Potomac out of trenches that were in some places only yards from Confederate lines. No bugles, no fires, wheels muffled. By morning the Union trenches were empty and Lee's scouts found nothing but abandoned earthworks.

The army marched south, away from Richmond, which made no sense to Confederate observers. Then Union engineers did something almost nobody thought possible: they threw a pontoon bridge across the James River, roughly 2,100 feet of it, over water up to 85 feet deep with a four-foot tidal swing. They built it in about eight hours. It was one of the longest floating bridges in military history.

For three full days Lee was effectively blind, unsure whether Grant was north or south of the James. By the time the picture cleared, Grant's army was across the river attacking Petersburg, the rail hub that fed Richmond.

The siege that followed lasted nine months and ended with Lee's surrender at Appomattox.

Everyone remembers Cold Harbor as Grant's worst day. Almost nobody remembers that one week later he pulled off the maneuver that won the war.

How come no other Administration thought to do this for Foster Kids?

MELANIA TRUMP UNVEILS SAVINGS ACCOUNTS FOR FOSTER CHILDREN

First Lady Melania Trump announced a new initiative to help foster children build a stronger financial future.

“For the first time, children in foster care will have access to a dedicated savings and investment vehicle: Fostering the Future Accounts,” she said.

“Fostering the Future Accounts give foster children the same chance for asset ownership and long-term wealth building as every other American child. By investing in our foster youth now, we help strengthen America’s workforce, communities, and economic future.”

This is exactly the kind of thing that can change lives.

Foster children deserve stability, opportunity, support, and a real path toward independence.

And one thing is clear: Melania Trump has consistently used her platform to help America’s youth, especially foster children, have a better chance to succeed and flourish in life.

God bless every child in foster care.

May they know they are seen, valued, loved, and never forgotten.

On December 27, 1968, Apollo 8 needed to fire its engine to leave lunar orbit and return to Earth.

If the burn was wrong, the crew would never come home.

In Mission Control, a 25-year-old mathematician named Frances Northcutt, known as Poppy, had prepared the return-to-Earth calculations.

She was the first woman to work in Mission Control in a technical role.

When the burn data came back, something was off.
The numbers didn't match the expected trajectory.

She had 4 minutes to determine whether the deviation was within tolerance or whether Apollo 8 was in danger.

She ran the calculations by hand.
They were within tolerance.

She gave the go.
The crew came home.

She later went to law school and became a prominent civil rights attorney.

When asked about her time at NASA she said:
"We were just doing our jobs. Nobody thought it was unusual except the reporters."

The people who kept the astronauts alive were largely anonymous.
Most of them were young women with slide rules.

The most important American document you were never taught in school was adopted on June 12, 1776.

Three weeks before the Declaration of Independence, Virginia adopted the Declaration of Rights, written by a man most people can't name: George Mason.

Read the opening line: "All men are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights."

Sound familiar? Thomas Jefferson was writing the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia at that exact moment, and he borrowed heavily from it.

Then it happened again. When James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights in 1789, he used Mason's document as his blueprint. Freedom of the press, religious liberty, no cruel and unusual punishment, jury trials. Mason had all of it first.

The document even crossed the ocean. Lafayette leaned on it when drafting France's Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789.

And here's the kicker: Mason later refused to sign the Constitution. Why? It had no bill of rights and didn't end the slave trade. He died politically isolated for it. Then the country added the Bill of Rights, proving him right.

One Virginia farmer wrote the rough draft of American freedom, influenced two revolutions, and got almost zero credit.

250 years ago today. Raise a glass to George Mason.

On this day in history in 1777, Marquis de Lafayette arrived in South Carolina to join the fight against the British alongside General Washington.

Though France’s King Louis XVI had forbidden his departure to avoid angering Britain, Lafayette defied orders, escaped arrest, and evaded British ships to reach America. He soon traveled to Philadelphia, where he met Washington for the first time.
