Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.

Thomas Sowell on AOC:
“As I listened to her, I was amazed that there seems to be no factual issue as far as she is concerned. She just pronounces things to be so and that’s the end of it.”
One of Elon's most vocal critics just bought a Cybertruck.
Brian Krassenstein, who has spent years publicly clashing with @elonmusk, announced the purchase yesterday.
His reason had nothing to do with politics.
He has a young family and the Cybertruck is the only pickup truck in America to hold both an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award and a perfect 5-star NHTSA rating simultaneously.
When your fiercest critics are buying your product because the data leaves them no choice, that's a different kind of win.
We warned scientists not to squander people’s trust.
Investigate the lab leak
Don’t overclaim for vaccines
Don’t demand lockdowns
Don’t worship models
Don’t be dogmatic
Encourage debate
They have only themselves to blame.
So much for gambling ...

“You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it’s a hoax.”
I am not comfortable with a sitting member of Congress starting a sentence with “you do not have the right to say.”

Nearly two years to publish this null finding! 🤔

I spent 5 years in undergrad (biology and chemistry, magna cum laude), 5 years in grad school/med school (neuroscience/physiology and medicine, summa cum laude and cum laude, respectively), and almost 3 years in residency.
When I arrived, all they wanted me to to was force COVID shots, support gender mutilation, and shill for pharma.
I walked away.
So don't tell me people have no choice.
I gave up everything, at the finish line, in first place, because the race was corrupt.
You either have integrity or you don't.
