@elonmusk Elon, I want to tell you something as a Ukrainian.

For years, many people in Ukraine admired and respected you. I was one of them. I personally saw you as a technological genius, a visionary, someone who was building the future while others were still living in the past.

And that is exactly why your growing hostility toward Ukraine is so difficult for me to understand.

Ukraine is not a perfect country. We have corruption, political failures, and many problems. Nobody denies that. But tell me, which country is perfect?

Ukraine is also a country of incredibly talented engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, developers, artists, and ordinary hardworking people. We build world-class technology, innovate under impossible conditions, value education, and have repeatedly shown the world what courage, resilience, and human dignity look like.

We are a country that voluntarily gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances.

We are a nation that stood up in 2014, during the Revolution of Dignity, because we refused to live under authoritarianism and Russian domination. We wanted freedom, democracy, and the right to choose our own future.

And today, we are fighting for that same freedom.

Every day, Ukrainian civilians are killed by Russian missiles, drones, and bombs. Children lose their parents. Parents bury their children. Entire cities are destroyed. Millions of lives have been shattered.

These people are not dying because of Zelenskyy. They are not dying because of Ukrainian corruption. They are dying because Putin chose to invade another sovereign nation and continues to wage a war against its people, cities, culture, and identity.

Yes, corruption must be fought. Yes, every dollar of international aid must be accounted for. Ukrainians themselves deserve transparency and justice more than anyone.

But corruption does not justify invasion. Political failures do not justify bombing children. And no amount of criticism of Ukraine changes who crossed the border with an invading army.

You seem to believe that giving up Donbas and Luhansk could bring peace. But why should we believe Putin would stop there?

He already violated Ukraine's sovereignty after promising to respect it. He took Crimea in 2014. He fueled war in Donbas. And in 2022, he launched a full-scale invasion.

What makes you think another territorial concession would finally satisfy him?

History has shown us what happens when democracies believe they can secure lasting peace by rewarding an aggressor with someone else's land.

We have seen this before, in Europe, in the years leading up to World War II.

Peace built on surrender to a dictator is not necessarily peace. Sometimes it is simply an invitation to the next war.

Elon, you are a man who talks about the future of humanity, about making civilization better, about taking humanity to Mars.

But what kind of future are we building if we accept that powerful dictators can erase smaller nations simply because they have more weapons?

Ukraine is not asking the world to pretend we are perfect.

We are asking the world to recognize that we have the same right to exist, to be free, and to determine our future as Americans do.

And one more thing: Ukrainians have never been your enemies. Many of us admired you, believed in your vision, and appreciated what Starlink made possible during the darkest days of this war.

That is why your words hurt more than you might realize.

You have enormous influence. Your voice can shape how millions of people understand this war.

I still want to believe that the man who dreams of advancing humanity can recognize the humanity of people fighting simply to survive.

It is not too late to stand on the right side of history.

Not on Zelenskyy's side. Not on any politician's side.

On the side of freedom. On the side of human life. On the side of a nation's right to exist.

That is all we are asking for.

@0xVisii0nary The scary part is that you’re posting an AI generated video with no basis in truth and people are increasingly losing touch with reality. While robots have played tennis, and are improving constantly, they are not yet able to move as depicted in this video.

China just turned the night sky into a masterpiece of precision and intelligence. 🌌

What struck me most about this is how seamlessly innovation turns into art.

A drone show in Chongqing just broke the Guinness World Record with 11,787 synchronized drones, creating breathtaking 3D animations that looked closer to CGI than real life.

No human pilots.
No delays.
No crashes.
Every movement guided by AI and GPS, choreographed with perfect timing.

To me, this is far more than a light show.
It’s a glimpse into how technology, creativity, and coordination can merge to shape a new era of expression and innovation.

When intelligence takes flight, it doesn’t just illuminate the sky — it redefines what’s possible.

Could this be the moment where technology begins to turn the world itself into its stage?

True.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Jack White just earned a new degree of respect from me.

An exceptional response to Trump's little people!
The White House melts down and attacks music legend Jack White after he insults Donald Trump's "disgusting" and "vulgar" redecoration of the White House
“Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career,” claimed White House spokesman Steven Cheung.
“It’s apparent [White]’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House,'” Cheung added.
this is Jack’s response…
"Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake 'gunshot to the ear' that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc."
"No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the f*cking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults," he continued. "How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being."
"He’s masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy," he wrote. "He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole
after loophole and grift after grift."
"His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis," White went on. "And I have 'ample time on (my) hands'? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy."
"So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremacist country club rich idiot agenda,"
"Wow, he hates who you hate....good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all,"
"The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you 'defend your guy no matter what he does.'" he wrote. "No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankruptor of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc."
"This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over," wrote White. "This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars."
"Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves,"
"And no I’m not a Democrat either, I’m a human being raised in Detroit, I’m an artist who’s owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief,"
"I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world. I don't always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don't always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I'm not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930's Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that's not an exaggeration, he's dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it. -JW III...

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

@SamHarrisOrg Can you help reconcile the paradox between recognizing earlier in a #wakingupapp meditation that there is no thinker and then later suggesting that the meditator recognizes that the practice is an enormous expression of goodwill for themselves and the world?

@elonmusk Apparently your first name means “oak tree” in Hebrew, and your last name originates from a Sanskrit word meaning “testicle” which means your name is Oak Tree Testicle. In my view, that’s a badass name. Go leafs go.

@StephenM “There is no plausible reading of this statute that would, or ever could, compel doctors to treat biological males as females or biological females as males.” What if someone is “biologically” born with anything that requires corrective surgery, like a congenital heart defect?

[Benedict Marsh @benedictmarsh]

@BonnieRC63 @StephenM So should children born with disabilities and diseases that can be treated with medicine and surgery not be treated at all then, since “God doesn’t make mistakes?” If God doesn’t make mistakes, I guess we actually shouldn’t use medicine at all, then. What a ridiculous comment.

[Benedict Marsh @benedictmarsh]

But… that is the problem with an idealistic view… it ain’t realistic.

[Benedict Marsh @benedictmarsh]

When it comes to federal elections, the citizens should convince the right person for the job to lead, not the other way around.

[Benedict Marsh @benedictmarsh]

Ideally “the right person for the job” wouldn’t really want to lead, but would be answering the call of duty. Something is terribly backwards, and inherently suspect, that our leaders spend months trying to convince everyone that they’re the right person for the job.
