Peter: "I heard you say you might want a mini woolly mammoth. Is that true?"

Elon: "Yeah, I think it would be really cool to have a pet miniature woolly mammoth. That'd be pretty epic."

Peter: "I'll put a word in with you for you with with with Ben [Lamm]."

Elon: "That'd be adorable. Little things just running around trumpeting away and it's like look at the be a great little pet."

This is what people want to see

[Syd Steyerhart @SydSteyerhart]

Everyone tells me that Elon Musk is a fascist because he could "solve world hunger" for a mere 3 billion dollars, but MacKenzie Bezos has burned through 26 billion dollars of her ex husband's money and accomplished absolutely nothing of note.

xAI models now support Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on OpenRouter

Developers can now use:
• Grok 4.3
• Grok 4.20
• Grok Build 0.1
with Zero Data Retention enabled

This means requests aren’t retained by the provider, making it a strong option for privacy-sensitive and enterprise workloads

2 year old girl raped and murdered by a migrant

This is the moderate response

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes

[Normal Gay Psychiatrist @NormalGayPsych]

I’m a gay man and I’m done staying silent.

I survived bullying, the coming-out wars, and actual hate for who I am.

What I won’t accept is importing millions from cultures where they throw us off rooftops, hang us, or jail us for life.

Pride flags in Tehran? Laughable. Open borders + unchecked migration from places that treat gays like vermin isn’t “compassion” — it’s suicide for everything we fought for.

Protect Western values or watch them disappear. Gay rights aren’t compatible with mass immigration from the most anti-gay societies on Earth.

Change my mind.

[Yvonne Kussmann @YveK22]

Mindestens vier Mädchen im Alter von 12 bis 14 Jahren wurden am vergangenen Samstagnachmittag in einem Schwimmbad in Schwäbisch Gmünd Opfer sexueller Übergriffe. Tatverdächtig ist ein 21-jähriger Afghane. Er soll den Mädchen nicht nur an den Hintern und Oberschenkel gefasst haben. Er wollte wohl auch die Bikini-Unterteile herunterziehen. Bei einem Mädchen soll er zudem versucht haben, mit den Fingern in den Intimbereich einzudringen, was bedeutet, dass es sich aus rechtlicher Sicht um eine versuchte Vergewaltigung handeln dürfte.

Der Tatverdächtige wurde zwar festgenommen, die Staatsanwaltschaft beantragte auch einen Haftbefehl, aber der zuständige Richter setzte ihn außer Vollzug. Der Kerl rennt also weiterhin frei unter uns herum. Die Auflage, keine Freibäder aufzusuchen, wird ihn mit Sicherheit wenig interessieren, zumal das gar nicht kontrolliert werden kann. Meine Güte, sperrt solche Leute doch weg und schiebt sie ab.
Für solche Personen braucht es die Möglichkeit eines Eilverfahrens, in dem nicht nur wegen der begangenen Straftat verhandelt wird, sondern auch der mögliche Aufenthaltstitel entzogen und zeitlich unbefristete Abschiebehaft angeordnet werden kann. Warum müssen wir diese Täter weiter hier erdulden und finanzieren?

[Yvonne Kussmann @YveK22]

Heute vor fünf Jahren, am 26. Juni 2021 fand man in Wien am frühen Morgen ein totes Mädchen auf der Straße. Leonie war gerade einmal 13 Jahre alt, als sie von drei Afghanen in einer Gemeindewohnung erst mit Drogen vollgepumpt und dann von allen vergewaltigt wurde.

Letztlich starb sie laut dem Gerichtsgutachten einen Erstickungstod unter Einfluss der Überdosierung.
Man fand das tote Mädchen in einem Wohngebiet. Die Täter hatten sie in einen Teppich gewickelt und wie Müll einfach draußen auf der Straße entsorgt und an einen Baum angelehnt.

Bei den Ermittlungen kam heraus, dass ein Täter falsche Angaben zu seinem Alter machte. Gab er selbst an, er sei 16 Jahre alt, ermittelte das Gutachten ein Mindestalter von 20 Jahren.
Einer der Täter floh nach der Tat nach England, konnte aber verhaftet werden und wurde nach Österreich überstellt.

Zubaidullah R. wurde im Prozess im Dezember 2022 zu einer lebenslangen Haftstrafe verurteilt, Ibraulhaq A. zu 20 Jahren. Ali H., der angab, Leonies Freund gewesen zu sein, muss 19 Jahre in Haft.

True

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

So many such stories that were suppressed by the legacy mainstream media …

[Larry Sanger @lsanger]

There are three reasons.

First, woke progressives (“intersectional activists”) constantly thirst for confirmation of their moral superiority, which they typically get by defending whoever (they're told) is victimized, and by signaling their superiority both to the victimizers and to all who do not signal hard enough. Virtue signaling is socially powerful and explains a lot of what wokesters say and do.

The second reason is that there is only one victimizer that matters: Western civilization (and its defenders). So, if a group—like Muslims, trans people, illegal aliens, etc.—is plausibly victimized by the West, they become the victims. Then they are helped, their causes promoted, and any harm that comes to them becomes the cause du jour.

The third reason is that the only victims that matter are those that, by being defended, can help destroy Western civilization, or whatever parts of it stand in the way of a socialist, egalitarian (“woke”) utopia. Muslims can weaken Western civilization by increasing crime (including rape gangs), creating ghettos, and threatening terrorism and Sharia Law. Think several European cities with large unassimilated Muslim populations. The trans movement can be used as a blunt weapon to indoctrinate children into the joys of LGBTQ and as a way to divide Christian denominations. Illegal aliens can be used to defend violent gangs, drive up housing costs, and generally increase alienation in society. Thus we have sanctuary cities.

Conservatives notice what's going on, complain about it, and thereby can be identified with the "victimizers." They do unforgiveable things like opposing the spread of Islam, say that trans women aren't women, and complain about needless, avoidable violence by known illegal immigrant criminals.

So the left then secures its wonderful tasty moral superiority by defending the "victims" against the complaints of conservatives.

As to LGBT people (or women) victimized by Muslims in Muslim societies, leftists haven't been told this, so they don't believe they are. Or, if they can't avoid the facts, they believe this is a legitimate cultural difference. Not only are the moral relativists, their commitment to moral relativism becomes central to their moral self-concept when they reflect that their purpose is to defend victims as “historically marginalized groups” and to fight the historical oppressors. Any suggestion that it's a serious problem is the bigoted and offensive imposition of the great oppressor, Western civilization, which is the source of all the worst problems in the world. Any violence and other crime on the side of the victims is thus recast (in the twisted progressive mind) as legitimate acts of war, essentially; for the progressive to acknowledge a problem would be treasonous. This is why the hatred of Israelis became so pronounced after October 7.

I have no doubt that some LGBT progressives are uncomfortable with their “strange bedfellows,” but allies are allies. In fact, the self-disinterested ability to accept them as allies in the bigger fight is surely another source of that tasty sense of moral superiority.

When you came to Iceland in early June 2025 we had not yet started to see many of the consequences of the 2024 push to bring in people from Gaza (led by a group of women in an empathy rush). Since then, we have had a grooming gang being stopped by coincidence, revealing they had two teenage girls they had drugged in the car, a group of Hamas-connected men made an attempt to kill a person in a parking garage (on trial now, but one escaped to Jordan), another group attacked a 17 year (could have killed him) old because he had the reaction of punching the hood of their car as they drove over his foot, joined by people who came out of a nearby Kebab restaurant to help beat him up. We have gangs of kids from Gaza that are terrorising other children. We do not let our kids out the same way as before. We see pictures of them in expensive cars (how do they get expensive cars? – there was an effort to gather money to pay them out of Gaza) – some pictures with guns. Videos of them browing the horns of their cars to assert dominance. We hear their loud music in the night when they drive by our homes. There was an incident of a person walking a suburb with a machete during an argument (photographed from all angles). They (or other muslims) took over a shed by the airport that taxi drivers had to have coffee and go to the toilet and the denied everyone else entry (people that legally can use it and have used it for years) as they turned it into a place to pray. One woman, who had brought a "refugee" from Gaza and married him has now testified in an interview that he was indeed a violent Hamas member (good for her to admit that she was wrong and testify).

All this is just the tip of the Iceberg and everybody that has eyes and ears sees and hears this. This is just little Iceland in about one year since you came here. Only the ideologically possessed can't see what is going on.

For half a century, the 7.6 million pounds of thrust from the Saturn V was the absolute ceiling of human engineering

SpaceX is now treating that as a baseline

“Starship V3 is more than double the thrust of the Saturn V… By V4, we’ll be pretty much three times” — Elon Musk

SpaceX’s first-principles engineering is on another level

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river’s edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn’t hurt their fraudulent asylum claims.

The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden’s open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden’s CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left.
