History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
The wake up call is for you, Senator.
You have spent 30 years in government. Name one thing you built. One product, one service, one system that works. You can't. Your entire career consists of redistributing value created by others, and lecturing the people who create it.
Elon built reusable rockets for less than what Washington spends in 3 hours. The government you represent spends $7 trillion a year and can't balance a budget, fix a border, or build a train. He did 100 times more with 100 times less.
A trillionaire who earned it by serving billions of customers is not a problem. A bureaucrat who never created a dollar of value deciding how value should be allocated, that's the problem.
The era of the builder is here. You can keep tweeting from the back seat of your government car, or you can step aside and watch.
History remembers the people who build. It footnotes the ones who taxed them.
Net worths of politicians whining about Elon Musk’s fortune from SpaceX:
🔵 Ro Khanna: $250+ million (inherited)
🔵 Gavin Newsom: $30 million
🔵 Elizabeth Warren: $12 million
🔵 Bernie Sanders: $5 million (plus 3 houses)
A bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites.
Congratulations @ElonMusk.
Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.
He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.
He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.
Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:
So a lot of people are upset that Elon Musk is a trillionaire. And they’re suggesting he share his wealth with the world.
Which would entail liquidating his companies, laying off over 100,000 employees, bankrupting all the people who now own SPCX stock, and crashing the economy.
I don’t think they’ve thought this through.
Remember the viral video last year of the young Scottish girl who brandished a knife and axe at a violent migrant to protect herself and her sister? The video was called “propaganda” and dismissed as far-right lies by liberal media and leftists.
A trial showed the girls weren’t lying. A migrant pursued sexual activity with one of the children and came back to violently assault them with his migrant sister after he was rebuffed. Both the migrant siblings were convicted.
@France24_en@VedikaBahl, the French state-funded news broadcaster, called the girls liars and blamed @elonmusk and Tommy Robinson.

Keir Starmer interview today.
'I was elected to to serve this country'.
No you weren't, we don't elect PM's we elect the Party. We do not have a Presidential system.
To top it all off. You're useless and incompetent.
Thw electorate and your own Party, wants you GONE.
TaTa.
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.
going through them in order:
- killed by boyfriend
- may not even exist
- killed in a road rage incident
- killed by boyfriend
- killed by another trans person
- killed by friend/acquaintance
- killed in a robbery
- exact motive unknown but he was a drug dealer killed in an area known for drugs so best guess gets a cookie
- killed by a schizophrenic black incel who appears to have mistaken him for a real woman
- killed by boyfriend
- wasn’t even murdered
- killed by a black homeless guy
Keir Starmer says it's his "duty" to remain as PM and will fight any leadership challenge.
"It's not vanity. It's not stubbornness. It's duty"
Literally a communist.
