Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
Elon Musk criou, em um único dia, 4.400 novos milionários.
Quase 400 deles ultrapassaram os US$ 100 milhões.
Não são banqueiros nem investidores de risco. São funcionários da SpaceX: soldadores, técnicos, mecânicos e até funcionários da cantina. Durante vinte anos, a empresa pagou gente de todos os níveis com ações, não só com salário alto. Quem produziu colheu.
Juan Hernandez, imigrante mexicano, aceitou um emprego de soldador por US$ 28 a hora em 2015, sem nem saber direito o que era a SpaceX. Recebeu uma pequena participação de US$ 10 mil e pôde comprar mais por desconto em folha. Hoje sua fatia vale US$ 880 mil.
Trevor Hise ignorou os conselhos dos pais para pegar um emprego “seguro” na General Electric. Escolheu a SpaceX, ficou 12 anos e acumulou mais de 100 mil ações. Ao preço da listagem, são US$ 13,5 milhões. Aos 37 anos, ele já pode se aposentar. Palavras dele: “A magnitude disso é ridícula.”
O detalhe mais eloquente veio antes mesmo da abertura de capital: mais de 100 funcionários se uniram discretamente para contratar uma gestora de fortunas capaz de cuidar de até US$ 5 bilhões. Muitos nunca tinham precisado de wealth manager na vida.
Há décadas os IPOs de empresas de tecnologia enriquecem programadores. Desta vez, o dinheiro chegou ao chão de fábrica. Isso é capitalismo de verdade: quem arrisca, quem trabalha e quem entrega valor colhe frutos proporcionais.
A esquerda odeia esse tipo de história. Porque ela prova que a verdadeira ascensão social não vem de dividir a miséria alheia, mas de criar riqueza que eleva quem tem coragem de construir.

SpaceX just landed a Falcon 9 booster, and Elon Musk's live reaction was more human than anyone expected.
"It's standing up. It's coming in. It sounded like an explosion. Look at this. Look at this. It's just sitting there. Holy smokes, man."
Here’s how Polish fans celebrate their club’s victory.
Before leaving the square, they cleaned up after themselves. No one was beaten up or raped.
Be Like Poland.
Посмотрите оба ролика.
Та самая культура, которую они принесли с собой в ваш дом.
Король Карл III (британский монарх, ранее принц Чарльз):
▪️"Исламский мир - хранитель одной из величайших сокровищниц накопленной мудрости и духовных знаний, доступных человечеству".
▪️"Если на Западе много непонимания природы ислама, то есть и много невежества относительно долга нашей собственной культуры и цивилизации перед исламским миром".
▪️"Ислам может научить нас сегодня способу понимания и жизни в мире, которого само христианство лишилось".
Речи Обамы приводить будем? А Шарля де Голя?
🚨СРОЧНО: В Нью Йорке, перед Сити-Холлом, где работает Зохран Мамдани, установлена гигантская статуя в виде среднего пальца.
Автором провокационной работы стал легендарный художник Scott LoBaido
Мамдани определённо это заслужил!
Quand j'ai un coup de blues, ce qui m'arrive rarement, parce que je suis dans une énergie d'optimisme radical sur le futur, je regarde cette vidéo.
Et instantanément, je redeviens heureux.
Regardez-les. Vraiment, regardez-les.
Les deux mecs qui incarnent le plus, aujourd'hui, sur cette planète, la valeur liberté.
L'un a divisé l'inflation argentine par 10 en supprimant des ministères entiers, en libérant les prix, en rendant l'argent aux gens.
L'autre a construit des fusées réutilisables, des voitures électrique de masse, racheté la place publique mondiale, et il va mettre des robots dans nos maisons ce qui va multiplier par 10 le PIB mondial et sortir des centaines de millions de gens de la pauvreté.
Et là, dans cette vidéo, ils ne jouent pas un rôle. Ils ne font pas de la com. Ils sont juste là, ensemble, avec la patate. Avec une joie d'enfant. Avec le sourire de mecs qui savent qu'ils sont en train de gagner.
La tronçonneuse n'est pas un gag. C'est un symbole.
C'est le symbole de ce qui va arriver à toute la bureaucratie planétaire dans les 20 prochaines années.
Cette vidéo, c'est l'avenir qui sourit.
On vit une époque incroyable. Profitez-en.
Merci de faire ce que vous faites. @JMilei et @elonmusk , vous redonnez de l'espoir à l'humanité.
