🚨ELON MUSK'S BROTHER SOLD HIS COMPANY FOR $307 MILLION AT 26..

THEN GAVE UP TECH COMPLETELY TO COOK FOR FIREFIGHTERS IN THE RUBBLE OF 9/11.. THIS IS THE MUSK NOBODY TALKS ABOUT..

Most people only know Kimbal Musk as Elon's younger brother.. But his actual life path makes almost no sense on paper..

In 1989, at 17, he left South Africa for Canada with almost no money.. He paid his way through university running a house-painting franchise.. And won manager of the year doing it..

Then in 1995 he moved to Palo Alto with Elon and they started Zip2.. An online city guide and mapping company, years before Google Maps existed..

They were broke.. They slept on the office floor and showered at the local gym.. To impress investors, they built a giant fake casing around a normal PC to make it look like a supercomputer..

In 1999 Compaq bought Zip2 for $307 million.. Kimbal, at 26, walked away with around $22 million..

He could have done anything.. Retired.. Started another tech company.. Coasted on the PayPal and Tesla fortunes that were coming..

Instead he enrolled in culinary school in New York to become a chef..

His timing was brutal.. He graduated in 2001.. Right as 9/11 happened.. He lived steps from the World Trade Center..

So he grabbed his new skills and spent six weeks cooking for firefighters and rescue workers at Ground Zero.. 10 to 12 hour days in the wreckage.. Feeding the people pulling bodies from the rubble..

He said that experience changed everything.. Watching exhausted workers find comfort in a shared meal convinced him that food was his actual life's purpose..

He moved to Colorado and started building farm-to-table restaurants that sourced straight from local farmers..

Then in 2010 came the second turning point..

He broke his neck in a tubing accident and was temporarily paralyzed for three days.. He called it a near-death experience.. And it pushed him even harder into his mission..

He started a nonprofit that built outdoor learning gardens in hundreds of underserved schools.. Reaching hundreds of thousands of kids..

He co-founded an urban farming company growing food inside shipping containers in cities.. Each one producing the equivalent of two acres of farmland..

And then in 2022 he did the strangest pivot yet..

When Intel decided to shut down its light-drone division, Kimbal bought the whole thing.. 9,000 drones and the engineering team..

Now his company flies massive drone shows that act as pixels in the sky.. Including over 3,000 drones above St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.. Recreating Renaissance art in the night sky..

One brother is trying to colonize Mars and build humanoid robots..

The other made his fortune in the same rooms.. Then spent the next 25 years on something almost nobody expected..

Feeding people, teaching kids to grow food, and turning the sky into art..

Same beginning.. Completely different definition of what to do with a fortune.

Please note that a godly man IS NOT THREATENED by a wise and godly wife.

A godly man *wants* a wife who is gifted and offers wise counsel.

This is how a truly godly man talks about his godly wife:

“Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all" (Proverbs 31:29)

WATCH: Vice President JD Vance's Rededicate 250 message:

“I always ask people to pray for wisdom and for courage for their leadership. Pray for wisdom that we know the path God wants us to walk. Pray for courage that we have the ability to walk that path.”

No joke--I just got choked up watching this.

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff stunned the audience by completely destroying the Palestinian narrative about the conflict. The truth the world refuses to accept:

Palestine never existed as a sovereign Arab state.
The British Mandate of Palestine was a British territory taken from the defeated Ottoman Empire after 1917. Jews lived continuously in the Holy Land for centuries — long before modern Zionism. They were the majority in Jerusalem under Ottoman rule. Jews legally bought desert land (including the area that became Tel Aviv) and turned it into thriving cities and kibbutzim. Not a single Arab was displaced by these purchases.

The Arabs rejected the 1947 UN partition plan and launched war to destroy the newborn Jewish state. They lost. During that war, Arab armies ordered local Arabs to flee so they could “push the Jews into the sea.” Many did exactly that.

Israel has never committed genocide. It has fought for survival against repeated attempts to commit genocide against the Jewish people. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran’s regime are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

The historical facts are clear. The propaganda is not.

Share this. The truth needs to be heard.

@keithtaylor21 Yes it is! He will be missed by me at least. I enjoyed watching him play. He might not been an elite athlete but I have seen UK win a lot of game in the past with teams made up with players like Collin .

Yesterday, @WhiteHouse @Franklin_Graham prayed a powerful prayer for the people of Iran:

“Let us pray. Father, you tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians — the Iranians — were wanting to kill every Jew — woman, child — and to do it all in one day. But, you raised up Esther to save the Jewish people. Father … today the Iranians — the wicked regime of this government — wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire. But you have raised up @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. You’ve raised him up ‘for such a time as this.’ Father, we pray that you’ll give him victory. Father, we pray for our military that you’d watch over and protect them. We pray for the people of Iran who want freedom, to be set free”

The crucifixion and resurrection of Christ means that we Christians live in victory, joy, and secured hope.

Death has lost.

Satan is defeated.

Sin still plagues us.

But we are redeemed.

Victory is assured.

May we live like the work of Christ is FINISHED--for it is!
