Four years ago, Elon Musk walked into Twitter headquarters carrying a sink
Most people saw a funny video. But what many failed to see was something much bigger, one of the most selfless and consequential decisions anyone in his position has ever made
Elon took on a $44 BILLION deal. He knew he was overpaying, he knew the enormous risks involved, and he knew he was risking billions of dollars
He had absolutely no need to take on that kind of headache. He already had everything most people could ever dream of
Despite all of that, he went ahead and bought the entire platform
And people have no idea how important that decision was
Those were some really dark days. Free speech was being crushed, people questioning the approved narrative were being labeled as spreading "misinformation," and censorship was being pushed to silence opinions that challenged those in power
A handful of people ended up deciding what counted as truth and what the rest of the world was even allowed to hear
The entire Western world was drifting toward a dangerous future of ideological control, far-left insanity, cultural self-hatred, and censorship disguised as moral superiority
Elon literally changed the course of that future
It was really the final moment before the entire West would have drifted into full-blown socialism, self-destruction, self-hatred, and suicidal empathy
Elon single-handedly saved Western democracy when it needed him most
Four years later, so much has happened that people have started forgetting how bad things were and how much was at stake
You cannot imagine how much worse things might have become if he had simply walked away. And frankly, I'd rather leave that nightmare to the imagination
Back then, Elon wrote:
"I didn't do it because it would be easy. I didn't do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love"
That tells you everything about why I admire this man so much
Of all the extraordinary things Elon Musk has done for humanity, buying Twitter will always hold a special place in my heart
I really love him for what he did and for the kind of heart he has ❤️
And I don't think people will fully appreciate the magnitude of that decision for many years to come
Anthropic has filed for a record $2 trillion IPO. In a talk uploaded November 30, 2025, a stockbroker asked Elon Musk which company he would buy. Musk said he has no portfolio, then named Google and Nvidia.
The man asking is Nikhil Kamath, who told Musk his primary job is stockbroker and stock investor. Musk runs Tesla, SpaceX, xAI and X, and says the output of AI and robotics "will dwarf everything else."
The clip is three moments from a 114-minute conversation. The full talk is free on YouTube. In it Musk says US deficits run on the order of $2 trillion a year, and that interest payments on the debt exceed the entire US military budget.
His rules for money fit on a napkin.
Judge the product, not the price. His test for any stock: do you like what the company makes, do you like the roadmap, do you believe in the team. A company, he says, is a group of people assembled to make products and services.
Expect the swings. That test does not solve for daily moves, which he admits are sometimes pretty extreme. His advice is to hold and not worry about them.
Watch the ratio. Inflation, he says, is goods and services output against growth in the money supply. AI has not yet raised output enough. He guesses output growth passes money growth in about three years.
Know the fix on offer. He says the only thing that can solve the US debt is AI and robotics. That is a bet, and he says so.
Money is a tool. He calls it an information system for labor allocation. A trillion dollars on a desert island buys nothing, because there is no labor to allocate.
Check who owns it. When he says AI, robotics and maybe spaceflight will hold almost all the value, he runs companies in each of those fields.
"I don't look for things to invest in. I just try to build things."
Listen from 86:12.
Before you buy into any IPO this month, write down what the company sells, what it ships next and who builds it. If you cannot fill in all three lines, you are not investing. You are buying a headline with your name on it.
I just published my first Grok Bot!
Meet Agency Lead — a personal marketing agency bot I originally built for myself… I have way too many ideas and not nearly enough time to pursue them all, so I decided to share it with everyone.
Give @bot a try! If you find it useful, a bookmark or share would mean a lot. Enjoy! https://t.co/PdRDBRR23k
Trudeau gave Telesat $2.2 billion to start a company to compete with Starlink. PSP investments owns about 1/3 of Telesat. What a coincidence Brookfield manages PSP. Carney wants to shut down Starlink in Canada so the company he owns profits. Canada is so corrupt
