Imagine being the richest man in the world, where all you had to do was keep your mouth shut, play ball with the cartel, and let every media room and politician worship the ground you walk on… and instead you put everything you built on the line and step straight into the fire to save the American ideal.

Look at what they are doing to Elon Musk right now. You have left-wing professor Scott Galloway going on stage to applause, calling Elon a "traitor to the West," invoking the Rosenbergs being lined up against a wall, and doubling down on it today while incoming Democrats in Congress are already drawing up their subpoena lists to go after his companies and punish him for DOGE. Think about how upside down and rotted that is. Calling the man a traitor.

Let me put it to you like this. What has Elon actually done to earn the hatred of team evil? Two things. He built technology that makes the world better, landing rockets, connecting families in disaster zones from space, and building real things here in America, and he stood up for the people unwaveringly, with honor and humility, when nobody else with his reach had the spine to do it. He bought the town square so you could speak again when the government and Big Tech had a boot on your throat, and then he walked into Washington for free to show you where they were stealing your money.

Stop and think about what this man actually sacrificed for you. He didn't need the headaches, the death threats, the firebombed dealerships, the weaponized advertisers, or a target painted on his back and his family's back every single day. He could have stayed in the cool kids club forever and never lost a dime. I know a little something about what happens when the machine decides to destroy your life for telling the truth, and watching a man who had everything to lose step in front of the train anyway tells you everything you need to know about his heart.

Now here is the part nobody wants to talk about… we are making the exact same mistake with Elon that millions of people made with Trump, cheering from the couch and waiting around for one man to do all the heavy lifting while the wolves tear him apart. And spare me the BS about 25-degree chess. I do not want to hear another pied piper influencer tell you to sit back and trust some secret master plan while team evil sharpens the knives in broad daylight. There is no 25-degree chess when they are openly talking about walls and subpoenas. Elon deserves our defense and he deserves our loyalty, right now, in public, where it actually costs something.

Standing up for @elonmusk means you do not let a single person around you repeat the "traitor" lie without shoving the truth right back down their throat. It means calling every Republican in the House and Senate and telling them straight up that if they hide under their desks like paper tigers while Democrats run subpoena lawfare on Elon, their careers are finished. It means backing the people who build, starving the parasites who only destroy, and putting ten million loud Americans between him and the mob so they learn real fast that if you come for him, you deal with all of us.

Stop waiting for one man to save you while you watch him bleed for it. He stood in the gap for the American people when it cost him everything. Stand in the gap for him now.

Pray, Stand, Speak, ACT.

Love,

What all of you good people are thinking

Take heed. Or not.

I'm out. I hope this reaches a fraction of who it should.

[Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY]

Dem affordability agenda in full swing. She gets it.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Exactly 😂

Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.

SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.

Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!

I actually feel bad for Elon, even though I deeply disagree with him on some things.

Imagine trying to build a car company in California in the mid-2000s, when American manufacturing is being completely offshored and almost all of Wall Street thinks you’re a joke and is rooting for your failure, while the entire oil and gas industry is using all their power and leverage to make you fail.

But against all odds, you actually pull it off. You build cars that make electric vehicles desirable to millions of people, create an enormous number of quality American jobs, and force the global car industry to play catch up and move away from oil and gas.

You would think California would be proud of you and the team. Instead you find yourself having to fight a completely corrupt and incompetent left government impeding all your efforts while you sleep at the factory night after night to avoid collapse. At some point, you would go to the right too.

And because of your politics, it becomes a justification for people to celebrate your companies failing in their personal ideological fight with you. Even threats against you become something people explain away and use mental gymnastics to justify.

Meanwhile, people like Scott Galloway and Bernie Sanders who have made absolutely nobody better off other than themselves get to lecture you about your value to society and even call for your murder without grounds from their vacation home while you're on 20 hour benders in your factories trying to get things built for all of society. If this were me I would lose my mind.

Criticize his opinions. I do sometimes, especially on Ukraine. But the pleasure people take in wanting to destroy everything he’s built is hideous and frankly suicidal for the masses, especially coming from people who insist they care about workers, the climate, and civilization as a whole.

As you try to make good things for society you are confronted with a world that worships people who care only about the perception of being good people, while they actually fight against your tangible efforts of making improvements for humanity.

I don't think almost anyone would have made it out of that and if they did, they would probably not come away feeling so warm towards the left either. So I am rooting for Elon to succeed, and for humanity.

A congresswoman just told Elon Musk "See you soon."

So let's compare résumés. Because that's really what this is about.

Elon Musk moved to North America at 17. He built Zip2, then PayPal, then put almost everything he had into two companies every expert said would die: a rocket company and an electric car company. In 2008 both nearly did. He went all in anyway.

Today SpaceX lands orbital boosters and flies them again like airliners, something NASA, Russia, Europe and China considered impossible or uneconomical for 60 years. It launches most of the mass sent to orbit by all of humanity combined. It's the reason America stopped renting seats on Russian rockets to reach its own space station. Starlink brings internet to Ukrainian trenches, Amazon villages and disaster zones. Tesla forced every carmaker on Earth to go electric. Neuralink is letting paralyzed people control computers with their minds.

And to the "billionaires don't pay their fair share" crowd: in 2021 he paid over $11 billion in taxes. Widely reported as the largest individual tax bill in American history. One man. One year.

His stated goal is to make life multiplanetary so that consciousness doesn't die on a single rock. You can think that's crazy. He has delivered on enough "crazy" that betting against him has become a bad habit.

Now Yassamin Ansari.

Stanford, international relations. Intern for Nancy Pelosi. Climate advisor at the UN. Phoenix City Council. Won her congressional primary by 39 votes. A whole career spent inside institutions that run on other people's money. Never built a product. Never had a customer. Never faced a market.

The day after her party won Congress, what's her top priority for day one? Cheaper housing? Energy? Competing with China?

No. Pause advanced AI. Ban "superintelligence."

The bill she backs freezes any model trained above 10^25 operations until a brand-new cabinet-level Department of AI gets staffed and writes its rules. Violators face up to 20 years in prison.
Let that sink in. The industry that, by one Oxford Economics estimate, drives about a third of recent US growth, frozen by people who have never trained a model, while waiting for a federal agency that doesn't exist yet. Beijing couldn't have written it better.

And yes, Elon has warned about AI risk for a decade. That's exactly the point. His answer to risk was to build, compete and put better systems in the arena. Hers is a committee, a freeze and prison terms. One looks at a hard problem and builds. The other looks at a hard problem and asks for a permit to stop everyone else.

Then the cherry on top: her reply to the man who built the rockets is "See you soon." Coming from someone whose only real power is the ability to stop others from building.

This is the real fault line of our time. Not left vs right. Builders vs administrators of envy. A system that selects people who have never created anything and gives them authority over the people who create everything. A political class that turns resentment into legislation and calls it "safety."

I'm French. I've watched this movie. Europe wrote the world's most ambitious AI rulebook. Now count how many of the world's top AI models are European.

I genuinely hope humanity grows out of this model. A civilization where its most mediocre managers summon its most extraordinary builders with a "see you soon" is a civilization working against itself.

"Brave New World" is right. Except the dystopia isn't the machine. It's the committee.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

After DOGE, Elon came to a conclusion most people missed.

He tried to reform the state from the inside. He failed. And he said it plainly: the government can't fix its own deficit. Nobody in power actually wants to cut. The machine protects itself.

So he drew the only logical conclusion. If the state can't be reformed, there are only two ways this ends.

Either global bankruptcy. Debt keeps compounding, interest payments eat the budget, and the system collapses under its own weight.

Or robots. AI and robotics grow the economy so fast that the debt becomes manageable, and abundance makes the old fights over scarcity irrelevant.

Here's the part almost nobody sees.

For two centuries, capitalism has had a marketing problem. Its gains are real but slow and invisible. 2% growth a year doesn't feel like anything. Your life gets better over 30 years and you never connect it to the system that did it. Meanwhile, the left's promises feel immediate and concrete: a check, a subsidy, a benefit. That's why the left wins on promises even when it can't deliver them. Capitalism produces the wealth, socialism takes the credit.

Robots break that asymmetry.

When productivity doubles in a few years instead of a few decades, people will see it. Things get cheaper, services get better, opportunities appear, in real time. For the first time in history, people will connect capitalism and their rising standard of living directly, almost instantly. The causal chain becomes visible.

And that changes everything politically.

So there are two scenarios.

Scenario one: we stay in the current inertia. No breakthrough, or a breakthrough we regulate to death. The debt wins. Living standards stagnate, then fall. A frustrated electorate turns to whoever promises the most, and that pushes toward a hard collectivist left. But collectivism fails, as it always does. And when it fails, the most organized, most disciplined collectivist force left standing isn't the old left. It's radical Islamism. Bankruptcy, then communism, then something worse.

Scenario two: robots win. Abundance arrives, and it arrives visibly. The link between free enterprise and prosperity becomes obvious to everyone. And this is the key point: it becomes obvious to everyone, including the minorities the left was counting on. Because their long-term incentive is the same as everyone else's. A kid in the suburbs gains infinitely more from a booming, abundant West than from a bankrupt state handing out promises it can't keep. Abundance is the most powerful integration machine ever built.

That's the Western renaissance.

The West doesn't need to win the culture war by arguing. It needs to win it by delivering. And for the first time, it has the technology to deliver fast enough for people to notice.

The race isn't left vs right anymore. It's robots vs bankruptcy.
