Tech entrepreneur, co-founder of Concertio (acquired by Synopsys) and transSpot. PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Israel. Proud Zionist.
.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.
SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.
Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.
SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.
Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.
The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.
Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.
Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.
Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.
Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.
We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.
What does America get for $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel?
Short answer: economic, security, military, innovation, and strategic returns.
Long answer:
• Jobs: American jobs and manufacturing.
• Industry: A stronger U.S. defense industrial base.
• Intelligence: Information that helps prevent attacks against Americans and U.S. interests.
• Technology: Combat-proven military technologies.
• Laboratory: Access to one of the world's most active laboratories for modern warfare.
• Lessons: Battlefield lessons without paying for them in American blood.
• Innovation: A defense innovation ecosystem benefiting both countries.
• Ally: A capable ally helping deter common adversaries and maintain regional stability.
• Strategy: Greater freedom to focus on competition with China in the Indo-Pacific while preserving a favorable balance of power in the Middle East.

Non-Muslims are absolutely shocked by this video of an Australian Muslim reformist calling for reform in Islam.
The video was quickly censored on YouTube.
What did he say that was so dangerous? He simply read out the official rulings of Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
This is not “Islamophobia.”
This is mainstream Islamic doctrine straight from one of the highest authorities in Shia Islam.
The antisemitic dictator Erdoğan – who is committing genocide against the Kurds, supports the Hamas terrorist organization, oppresses his own people and imprisons political rivals – is the last person who can lecture the State of Israel on morality.
The State of Israel and the IDF, the most moral army in the world, will continue to take forceful action against Iran and its proxies, which threaten the Middle East and the entire world.
We must have the courage to call out the brutal sexism within Islam - it is simply not compatible with the British way of life.
There is finally a political party willing to do exactly that.
Restore Britain.
In 1970, a 23-year-old physics student at Imperial College London found himself at a life-altering crossroads.
Brian May was deep into his doctoral research on cosmic dust—specifically the zodiacal dust cloud, the tiny particles that drift through the solar system and scatter sunlight. His PhD was well underway, and a promising academic career in astrophysics lay ahead.
But there was another path calling him.
May was also the lead guitarist of a newly signed rock band named Queen. With a record deal secured and tours on the horizon, the band’s momentum was building fast. Faced with an impossible choice between the guitar and the telescope, May made his decision: he paused his studies and bet everything on music.
Queen’s ascent was meteoric. By the mid-1970s, they had become a global phenomenon. Timeless anthems like “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You” exploded onto the charts, while May’s iconic homemade guitar, the Red Special, helped define the band’s legendary sound. Stadiums sold out worldwide, and millions of albums flew off the shelves.
Yet throughout his rock stardom, May never fully let go of his scientific passion. Even at the height of Queen’s fame, he stayed connected to astrophysics—reading journals, attending lectures when possible, and maintaining contact with his former supervisor, Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson, who had once told him: “You can always come back and finish.”
Thirty-six years after stepping away, in 2006, May decided the time had finally come. He reached out to Rowan-Robinson, and together they revived the long-dormant project. Though the field had moved forward and his original data needed updating, his early observations still held real scientific value.
Balancing his ongoing music career with late-night research sessions, May updated his work, incorporated new findings, and refined his analysis. In 2007, at the age of 60, Imperial College London officially awarded him a PhD in astrophysics—not an honorary title, but one earned through rigorous research and peer review.
Dr. Brian May had finally completed what he started more than three decades earlier.
His journey is a powerful reminder that passion has no expiration date. Whether on stage under stadium lights or studying the dust between the planets, Brian May proved it’s never too late to finish what you began.
