Today’s SpaceX IPO and the immediate attacks by leftists on @elonmusk should make one thing crystal clear to everyone watching:

Leftism is the enemy of humanity.

It’s an extinctionist movement that hates excellence and, when carried to its inevitable conclusion, would kill off our species.

Watch the ragtag socialist/commie crew of AOC, Bernie Sanders, Platner, Mamdani, Elizabeth Warren, etc. long enough and you’ll see it clearly. They resent excellence. They’re suspicious of ambition. They demonize our best builders and capital allocators.

If you’re somehow on the fence because you’ve been led to believe that it’s immoral for someone to have a trillion dollars, consider this: They create precisely nothing of value themselves. They’re the professional version of the worthless critic we all know in our own lives.

No innovations. No companies. No major breakthroughs. No employees, aside from staff we’re forced to fund with our tax dollars.

On the other hand, Elon has created over 150,000 high-paying jobs at his companies. That doesn’t count contractors, suppliers or their employees. When you add those in, you’re likely talking about millions of jobs affected by him.

He’s created tens of thousands of millionaires. His companies changed the car game forever, revolutionized internet access, gave us true free speech online again, helped the blind see, gave autonomy back to disabled people, changed the financial world and will make humanity a spacefaring civilization, which could ultimately save humanity if Earth faces an extinction-level event.

The question they want you asking is whether he has too much money. The question I want you asking is this: What kind of society do you want to live in?

One that celebrates excellence, advances humanity and makes the impossible possible? Or one laden with resentment, where we all need Daddy Government to provide the same shitty but equal standard of barely living for everyone, while choking innovation to death until there are no more rich people left to fund the welfare they promise?

Elon doesn’t use his wealth to shower himself in abundance. He invests it in advancing humanity. If we gave the same amount of money to the government, they wouldn’t accomplish half as much as he has. How do I know? Because we’ve already given them trillions for decades.

What did we get?

Bloated agencies.
Failed programs.
Generational fraud.
Wars.
Armies of consultants.
DEI.
Perpetual wokeness.

A society worth a damn celebrates its best capital allocators. Elon is the best in the business at turning dollars into more dollars by putting them to work in the right places and driving innovation. This uplifts humanity both now and later.

If you need someone to demonize as a way to make yourself feel better, then demonize the leftist politicians who do nothing but criticize the most productive, exceptional people in society. These people don’t want you to be successful.

They want you to be the cattle they herd. They want you dependent. They want you weak. They want your livelihood dependent on their hand filling your hand with scraps after they’ve robbed someone else’s.

The sooner everyone understands that, the better. Eventually, you’ll be the one they rob. Or they’ll simply run out of people to rob.

And worse, humanity will stop advancing. Eventually, we won’t even merely survive.

Why? Because a cataclysm on Earth isn’t a matter of if. It’s a matter of when.

We’re in an invisible race against time to push humanity into becoming a spacefaring civilization that can save itself before that day comes. Leftism would guarantee our deaths.

The only path for humanity to survive and thrive is to innovate and for us to celebrate and support the creators, builders and innovators who make that possible.

Anyone selling you the lie that those people are the enemy, IS YOUR ACTUAL MORTAL ENEMY.

That’s why leftism must be defeated and the woke mind virus must die.

I want humanity to survive. I hope you do too.

For years, people have talked about what’s wrong with Chicago’s South Side.

What if the real story is what’s being built there?

I walked across America for one reason: to create hope, opportunity, and a future for kids who deserve more than violence and poverty.

This is bigger than a building. It’s a movement.

Read why. ⬇️

They call me “Black conservative” like it’s an insult

But what they really mean is
He won’t go along with the script

He won’t clap for failure
He won’t defend broken systems
He won’t trade truth for acceptance

And that makes people uncomfortable

Because it’s easier to manage a narrative
Than to fix a community

So no, I’m not offended

I’m focused

Because my assignment isn’t to fit in

It’s to build something that actually works

.@TedForIllinois is the sort of thoughtful, responsibly tenacious, common-sense conservative the ILGOP has needed at its helm since I've been alive.

The chance for a conservative comeback in Illinois is directly tied to the GOP's ability to be the party of the suburbs again--not on the basis of the cut-me-in-or-cut-it-out state's spoils system as it was under Thompson-Edgar-Ryan but on the promise of policies that make things better for people who play by the rules in IL.

Dabrowski's smarts, policy chops and temperament bring both the base and broaden the appeal of sensible conservative solutions to swing suburbanites.

He is the only candidate for governor who can build the coalition to defeat Pritzker.

I’ve been banned from traveling to the UK. 🇬🇧

No reason given. No right to appeal. Zero due process.

Just an email saying the UK government deems me "not conducive to the public good" - exactly three days after I criticized Keir Starmer.

I guess my point that the UK is no longer a free country has been indisputably proven.

Scott Adams could have kept his mouth shut in 2015, kept those lavish corporate speaking gigs where he'd earn 50-100K per talk, and have died with an extra zero or two in his bank account. Instead he chose courage and died surrounded by the love of tens-of-millions.

For a sense of scale on this: The US theatrical revenue of all movies last year was just under $9 billion.

The scale of this fraud is so large, it is basically its own industry. If this fraud was a company, it would be one of the 20 largest companies in Minnesota.
