Happy birthday, America! I love this remarkable country, which was built on the idea that anyone can change the world. For 250 years, our country has been a testament to the power of possibility. Let’s keep building extraordinary things together.
Mostly because I know how mad it makes the trolls, short sellers, and people who hate Elon Musk when I point this out:
Tesla's Cumulative Production just broke another all-time high! $TSLA
🚨 Tesla just released Q2 2026 delivery numbers (see screenshot) and they were a record high for any Q2 in history, only 0.6% above my most recent $TSLA forecast some jeered as laughably high.
@C_3C_3 Yes. That's the whole fucking idea. That IS the American experiment - to see if all the peoples of the world could live in one place and make it work. We've never been homogenous, and here, you make it based on grit and merit, not on who your daddy is or the color of your skin.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

Breaking: U.S. Senator Roger Marshall promises he will fight to remove green card country caps on Indians
“We are telling the world’s hardest working immigrants that the line is 70 years long. Not because of what you did but because too many of you came from the same place.”
This blatantly irresponsible reporting does more harm to people than they realize.
Using Tesla self-driving is far safer than manual driving, and this was measured over 10B miles.
Planting such FUD in the minds of general public, who might not know the all the facts, might prevent them from using this technology that makes them safer.
Indian-American Co-Founded Firm’s Drone Boat Helps Rescue U.S. Soldiers Near Hormuz
On Monday, June 8, 2026, near the Strait of Hormuz, two U.S. Army aviators had to be rescued after their AH-64 Apache helicopter went down off the coast of Oman while conducting patrol operations. In a region where every minute matters, the U.S. Navy deployed an unmanned surface vessel — a drone boat called Corsair — to reach the crew.
The two crew members were rescued within about two hours and were reported to be in stable condition. The drone boat helped move them to a safer pickup point on the water, where they were later hoisted to safety by a rescue helicopter.
That drone boat was built by Saronic Technologies, a Texas-based defense-tech company co-founded by Indian-American engineer Vibhav Altekar.
That is not a small thing.
This is the kind of contribution that often goes unnoticed. Indian Americans are not just running convenience stores, hospitals, hotels, startups, or tech teams. They are also helping build the next generation of American defense technology, medical research, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, finance, education, and space innovation.
They pay taxes. They create jobs. They start companies. They serve in uniform. They work as doctors, engineers, professors, researchers, small-business owners, public servants, and first responders. Many came to America with little more than education, discipline, and ambition — and then built lives that added value to the country that gave them opportunity.
Indian Americans are a small community compared with America’s total population, but their impact is visible everywhere: Silicon Valley, Wall Street, hospitals, universities, laboratories, defense startups, NASA, local businesses, and public life.
The point is not ethnic chest-thumping. The point is simple: immigration, when it brings hardworking, skilled, law-abiding people into a country, is not a burden. It is an asset.
America’s strength has always come from its ability to attract talent from around the world and turn that talent into American success.
This June 8 rescue near Hormuz is one more reminder of that.
