Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.
“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.
There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.
And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

The first trillionaire. 🚀
When politicians say they want to seize/tax "wealth" but actually mean "shares in your own company that you yourself founded", the real point is making it impossible for anyone to actually control their own company for more than a decade.
They won't let you stay, either.
BREAKING: Tesla FINALLY Opens Pre-Orders for the 2026 Model 2 — and the internet is exploding. Priced at only $15,990, this compact EV is already being called the most disruptive car launch in modern history.
If you’re pulling into a gas station this Memorial Weekend, complaining about the inconvenience of paying more at the pump…consider the sacrifice of the soldier, sailor, or Marine, making their sacrifices for our lives and our freedom. Exchange your complaint for a prayer.

We were at my son’s wedding and one of the caterers spooked our tiny little Shih Tzu and she ran and wouldn’t stop. We are in Bellbrook, Ohio. Just praying that we can somehow get her back before we have to go back home.
****We are offering $10,000
for her safe return. No questions asked****
She is black and white and was wearing a pink harness when she escaped in the Bellbrook Ohio area.
If you see her, please don’t approach her - just either get a photo so we can tell if it’s her, try to lure her with food if you have some, or if not just call us immediately and we’ll send search people right away.
Please call us at 561–7 74���5865 with any information. Please repost and tell your neighbors and friends.
Thank you so very much!

@MarioNawfal Or how about giving the girl her smoothie and then warning her that the store has a policy requiring shirts over bathing suits for next time.
@BillAckman Every Mothers Day I always feel a mixture of Joy and Sadness. Joy from being blessed with two beautiful sons and sadness over missing my beautiful Mother who passed at 91. I will save and treasure your note because it defines the essence of my life with her. Thank you very much.
I remember seeing someone post last year that you should call your mom, and go visit her more often because she won’t be around that long.
It was a sweet post.
It was someone else’s sadness, though.
It was a great reminder to really appreciate the limited time we have with our moms - but it wasn’t me.
I called my mom almost every day, so I couldn’t truly feel the limited time I had left with her. The post last year didn’t capture me like maybe it should have.
Well, my mom passed away less than three weeks ago, suddenly, and I can’t tell you how captured I am now.
If your mom is alive, here’s your reminder to call her, go see her, spend time with her, love on her.
Your time with her is very limited.
Don’t just think it’s an issue for someone else.
It’s you faster than you think.
🚨 REP. WESLEY HUNT (R-TX) just gave the PERFECT response:
Q: There won't be any black Republicans left in the House?
HUNT: "It's not relevant."
"I'm not here because I'm black."
"I am here because I am a qualified representative for Congressional District 38."
"The American people choose who they want to choose."
"I don't want to get into this game of RACE BAIT all day, every day."
"If there's 4? If there's 10? If there's NONE."
"I represent a white majority district that President Trump would have won by over 20 points, and I won by over 25 points."
"I'm being judged not by the color of my skin, but the content of my character."
🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm a black Republican who currently represents a majority-white district in the Ohio State House and is running to represent a majority-white district in Congress.
The idea that black Americans need special districts carved out just for them is complete nonsense. It's a violation of the law and blatantly unconstitutional.
Glad the Supreme Court made the right decision.
I love this. 👇
To the person who wrote this, thank you for sharing what so many of us think of our President.♥️🇺🇸
Mr. President,
⠀
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud.
⠀
We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President.
⠀
Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace.
⠀
You didn’t have to do any of this.
⠀
You had the money.
You had the name.
You had the life most men only dream about.
You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up.
⠀
Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything.
⠀
They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going.
⠀
For what?
⠀
For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away.
⠀
You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything.
⠀
You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be.
⠀
And the truth nobody wants to admit?
⠀
We didn’t deserve a President like you.
⠀
A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏
⠀
So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing.
⠀
You earned every bit of it.
⠀
Thank you, Mr. President. From a truck driver in Texas who prays for you often.
⠀
God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
Only American citizens should vote in American elections. That's not controversial. That's common sense.
The SAVE Act would have required proof of citizenship to register and vote. Four Republicans joined Democrats to kill it. Shameful.

The day TERAFAB broke ground. Remember that.
Right now it’s just dirt and machines.
In a few years? Chips coming straight out of Tesla’s own line.
FSD running on chips they built themselves.
This is one of those historic days.
@Tesla

The Trump administration is considering promoting A AG Harmeet Dhillon to one of the top positions in the DOJ.
She's been suing states left and right and has been going hard on election integrity.
Everyone cool with this?
