I used to believe that Donald Trump was simply an exceptional president.
But then, I watched in real time as the Mainstream Media (mainstream media), the FBI, intelligence agencies, the CIA, Big Tech, and the entire Washington establishment joined forces in an unprecedented campaign to destroy a single man.
The numerous lawsuits, the two impeachments, the endless hoaxes including the Russia one, the Mar-a-Lago raid, the gag orders, the efforts to remove him from the ballot, the attempts to bankrupt him and throw him in prison... all of that was aimed at preventing him from returning to power. Two attempts on his life followed.
With 92% of media coverage being negative toward him while 78% of that for Kamala was positive, he managed to secure a convincing victory in the last election. How do you explain that?
That's when it became undeniable for me: no one faces this level of coordinated and hysterical opposition unless they represent a true existential threat to the system... The system we all know is corrupt and broken. Ordinary politicians don't trigger this kind of coordinated panic.
At that moment, I stopped thinking of him as a great president.
He is the greatest of all time.
Elon Musk just exposed everything wrong with American politics in one poll.
AOC called him “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” in the country.
Called him “morally vacant.”
Called him “not a scientist” and “not smart.”
Musk went on the NELK Boys podcast and laid the whole thing out.
Musk: “She was like saying billionaires are evil and you’re a billionaire and therefore you’re evil.”
So he didn’t argue back.
He let the people settle it.
Musk: “I hold a poll like, okay, which one do you like more, politicians or billionaires? And billionaires won by a lot.”
Then it got worse.
Musk: “Someone who was like super pro-AOC ran a direct poll of who do you like more, AOC or Elon Musk? Expecting AOC to win.”
She lost.
Not on his turf.
On hers.
Her own supporters put the question up thinking it was a layup.
The internet picked the billionaire over the congresswoman.
Not because people love billionaires.
Because people are tired of politicians who confuse volume with value.
She called him unintelligent.
He employs more engineers than most countries graduate in a year.
She called him morally vacant.
He delivers satellite internet to war zones and mass-produces solar energy for the grid.
She said he’s not a scientist.
His company is the only entity on Earth that catches orbital boosters out of the sky.
This is someone who has built exactly nothing telling the most prolific builder alive that he doesn’t understand anything.
Her entire career is grievance.
Everything is unfair. Everything is broken. Everyone else is to blame.
She doesn’t fix systems. She films herself crying in front of them.
One of them is trying to get humanity off this planet.
The other is trying to extend a clip long enough to trend.
Musk: “People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
You don’t get to call someone unintelligent when your legacy is congressional soundbites.
You don’t get to call someone morally vacant when he’s building humanity a backup planet and you’re building yourself a brand.
Musk: “Take that, AOC.”
In a hundred years the rockets will still be flying.
The tweets will be dust.
Beware the empathy exploit.
Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).
For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.
In case you’ve been in a coma…
“Our issue is not just Palestine, our issue is killing every non-Muslim. We will pursue Jews and Christians all over the world. Either they convert to Islam or we’ll kill them!”
