THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, REMEMBER THIS PHOTO OF ELON MUSK.
IT WAS TAKEN AFTER HIS THIRD ROCKET EXPLODED.
HE HAD JUST LOST $100 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY. SPACEX WAS WEEKS AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY. TESLA WAS STRUGGLING. HE WAS SLEEPING ON FRIENDS’ COUCHES.
THE MEDIA CALLED HIM RECKLESS. INVESTORS PULLED BACK. EVERYONE TOLD HIM TO QUIT.
INSTEAD, HE BET EVERYTHING ON ONE FINAL LAUNCH. IF IT FAILED, SPACEX WAS DONE.
THE LAUNCH SUCCEEDED — AND CHANGED HISTORY.
TODAY, SPACEX IS WORTH OVER $1 TRILLION AND DOMINATES THE PRIVATE SPACE INDUSTRY.
MOST PEOPLE QUIT RIGHT BEFORE THEIR BREAKTHROUGH.
ELON KEPT GOING WHEN EVERYTHING WAS AGAINST HIM.
THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND ALMOST SUCCESS.
This man is a joke.
It’s absurd that people take him seriously for a government position..
As long as he opposes Trump and wants to tax the rich. He’s good. Lol.
0 critical thinking.
@OwenGregorian When data centers bring excess power, water and sewer they will share with the city at a lower cost than current, they will be accepted.
This IS IMPOSSIBLE, and yet, the Senate will not pass the Save America Act.

Here's one for my fellow GenXers. Like I always say, we're the ones everyone calls on when sh*t hits the fan. We can fix everything, but we really don't want to! 😉
For too long, our political class treated efficiency as a substitute for resilience and consumption as a measure of prosperity.
Trade policy, industrial capacity, and national security are inseparable. And to allow foreign dependencies to degrade any one of those domains is to allow them to define America’s future. Under @POTUS’ leadership, we are rebuilding domestic production to restore American sovereignty.
Oh, Hillary. Hillary, Hillary. You ignorant slut.
As the Senior Military Aide to President Bill Clinton, YOU’RE military aide — the officer who carried the nuclear football in and out of the White House every single day — I saw the “people’s house” up close alongside you. @HillaryClinton
Spare us the sanctimonious lectures. And turn on your replies, coward.
When you and Bill left in January 2001, your staff ransacked the place. Remember?
“W” keys ripped off every keyboard. Phone lines cut. Desk drawers glued shut. Obscene voicemails and vulgar graffiti left behind.
Presidential seals and silverware stolen. Furniture damaged. The GAO confirmed the vandalism and theft. It wasn’t “transition friction” — it was a disgrace.
You trashed the People’s House on your way out the door and now you’re clutching pearls over Trump?
I remember, Hillary. I was there. Remember?
The hypocrisy is Olympic-level, Ms. Clinton. And you know it! You of ALL people know it!
The American people have long memories. Especially this one! Me!
We remember who actually looted the place. Shut up and color.
When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.
As Democrats demand the removal of the masks of ICE agents, a protester was shown yesterday yelling at an agent, "I've got your face. I'll kill your whole f**king family. You whole f**king family is dead. Your child, your wife, and all are dead. I have your face mother f**ker. You re dead."
When I was in my 20’s I was on a TV show. When Karen Bass was in her 20’s, she was training in terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare with communists in Cuba. Back when the LA Times was still in LA, and used to tell the truth…
