My family escaped Communism to come to the U.S.
Today in the Oval Office, I asked President Trump why he's warning Americans about Communism in a new statement. His response was powerful:
“You're going to get free rent, you're going to get free houses, you're going to get free food, you're going to get free everything, but eventually that ends, and it leads to death, destruction, and squalor 100% of the time.”
On Mayor Mamdani in NYC: “I don't understand why he thinks it's okay for all these companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes a year to leave, because you're not going to have any tax base.”
“Free enterprise is tougher to sell, but that's what's made our country great, and that's why it's great again now.”
Milton Friedman on why liberty must come before equality:
“A society that aims for equality before liberty will end up with neither equality nor liberty.”
“A society that aims first for liberty will not end up with equality, but it will end up with a closer approach to equality than any other kind of system that has ever been developed.”
“You can only aim at equality by giving some people the right to take things from others.”
“What ultimately happens when you aim for equality is that A and B decide what C should do for D, except that they take a little bit of commission off on the way.”
MARC ANDREESSEN: "We had meetings with the Biden admin where they told us to not even start AI companies because there's no way they'll let them succeed."
JOE ROGAN: "What do you do after a meeting like that?"
MARC ANDREESSEN: "You go endorse Donald Trump."
LMAO
Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."
You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."
"When I started SpaceX, one of my friends got a compilation of rocket failures & made me watch the whole thing. I knew the probability of SpaceX failing was high" — Elon Musk
Rockets are hard.
Milton Friedman:
“Economists don’t know much, but there’s one thing we know very, very well—and that’s how to produce shortages.”
“You want a shortage of housing in New York City? Set a maximum price on rent, and you will have a shortage of housing.”
The two most important goals of a man.
1) Earn JUST enough money to not give a fuck.
2) Find the big passion you'd chase. Daily. For the rest of your life if you didn't give a fuck about money.
Then do that. It's over. You've won. GG. 🤜🤛
This isn't AI, it's the Huajiang Canyon Bridge in Guizhou, China, the world's highest bridge at 625 meters above the river beneath it.
It features a man-made waterfall created by diverting karst spring water discovered during tunnel construction.
False.
SpaceX was the first to successfully land and reuse an orbital-class rocket booster in 2017, an achievement NASA had not accomplished.
So confidently wrong.
