Remember this.

@elonmusk came to America to build.

@ZohranKMamdani came to America to destroy.

Some of you are either too stupid or too naive to understand this.

@AntiLeftMemes My kids would know better than to interfere with law enforcement. FAFO seems to apply here.

2014 clip shows how much Elon Musk appreciates taxpayers.

Host: Taxpayers essentially loaned you, Tesla, almost 500 million dollars. How much of that do you still owe?

Elon Musk: We paid the whole loan back with interest and a prepayment penalty last year.

Host: Did you have to do that? It wasn’t due, was it?

Elon Musk: I know it was not due for another ten years or something.

Host: Why did you pay it off early?

Elon Musk: The taxpayers supported Tesla. We ought to repay them as soon as we can. And since we had the ability to do it and the stock markets were good, we thought, “Well, let’s pay it back with interest and a thank you note, by the way,” which said, you know, “I really, really appreciate it. Thank you.”

@christywhy9 Apparently this fool doesn’t understand his own words. Help him look up “illegally” in a dictionary.

The most affordable places in America are the places with the fewest Democrats in office.

The safest places in America are the places with the fewest number of Democrat voters.

There is a lesson here.

Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

[No Safe Words @Cyber_Trailer]

Polestar fanboy @GerberKawasaki says a lot of stupid things, but this one takes the cake.

He claims that Tesla had to end the S and X program because no one will buy Tesla vehicles due to Elon’s reputation.

Meanwhile, Tesla just absolutely crushed second quarter sales and set a new record.

So how is Gerber’s fave Polestar doing?
Shutting down.
They are liquidating remaining inventory.

Hopefully it was never close; but the bullet we all dodged by keeping Ross off of the board was absolutely critical.
This guy truly has shit for brains.
At this point, even that feels generous.

@sarahtexe It’s a good start. I’ll never forgive the Biden/Harris administration for opening the border and letting this disaster happen.

Astute observations, Doctor.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
