Iranian F-5 pilot who bombed US Buehring base in Kuwait:
We were flying at an extremely, extremely low altitude.
From a flight-standard perspective, the standard training altitude is around 500 feet, but we were below 50 feet.
We knew that Patriot systems were deployed in the area, and that this base had multi-layered air defense. Given Kuwait’s cooperation, they were protecting this base, and scrambled F-18s were monitoring it.
Even though we knew AWACS aircraft were up there and surveillance/listening sites were active, the entire flight was conducted under complete radio silence.
I should mention here that there were 2-3 ships, we were flying so low that we passed between 2 ships, and their decks were higher than us. In other words, the sailors were looking down at us from the deck.
We passed through there, and thank God, entered Kuwaiti waters, and from there entered Kuwait itself.
When we entered Kuwait, the high-voltage power lines suddenly became 10x times more numerous. Their refineries and forces were along our route, all of them were within our reach.
We could have bombed them immediately without any problem. But our target was Camp Buehring.
We carried out this route at very high speed and very low altitude. And then, when we reached the base, we bombed it successfully.
Unprecedented. Elon Musk is the First Dollar Trillionaire in the World. Now with a net worth of $ 1.1Trillion following the listing of SpaceX today.
As the wealthiest person in the World, the gap between him and number 2 is is over $800. He is wealthier than number 2,3,4 and 5 combined. Larry Page (Google), Sergey Brin (Google), Jeff Bezos (Amazon) and Larry Ellison (Oracle).
Interestingly, all his businesses are unconventional. Tesla (Electric Cars and Tech), SpaceX (Exploration, Rockets, Spacecraft, AI, Starlink is also part of the company, Boring Company (Tunneling) and Neuralink (Brain implant company).
His wealth of approximately Ksh 143 Trillion can pay all our Public debt and consequently fund our budget for 35 years without Kenyans having to pay any taxes or levies to government Ceteris Paribus. With debt service exempted since there will be none to service.
Ingenuity, hard work, foresight and some level of obsession and not being “normal” are some of the attributes that are evident.
We are African and Africa is our Business..
SpaceX President @Gwynne_Shotwell on @elonmusk:
" There is no one that can run this company other than Elon."
" He's probably the best CEO in history."
" The company would not collapse, obviously, without Elon, but it would by no means be the same."
"We'd survive, but it would be a different company. It'd be a shame."

@Kristianke1@bright_vidijah Visit any country where the military has suspended the constitution or where armed factions are battling each other. Then honestly tell us if that’s the future you want for Kenya with the KDF.
A fiery speech by South Africa's🇿🇦 EFF leader Julius Malema, over xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals.
“You say Zimbabweans take your jobs. Nigerians take your jobs.
You march, close shops and beat up people. Tell us after doing that how many jobs have you created, by beating up these Nigerians, Zimbabweans and Ghanaians?
You beat people because they took your jobs.
You close a shop that hires people. How many have you created after beating and chasing them?
Unskilled men, with no skills, none whatsoever, say somebody took away their jobs. I don't want your votes if you behave like that. Take them away.
Pushing out of school an African child that looks like you, I will never do that. You can take your votes. Make me die with my conscience very clearly.
I will never refuse a pregnant woman of African descent to give birth in the clinics of South Africa. Never!”
