This 👇 and same goes for me. I am unapologetically for the people of Israel. Look at my profile banner. I took that picture on the wall of the Old City of Jerusalem. If that bothers you, you can unfollow me. I won’t tolerate antisemitism especially from people who have not gone there themselves.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

I'm losing lots and lots more followers today because I am glad Thomas "Look at ME!" Massie lost.

So I might as well go all in and purge all the freaks from my follower base.

There are hundreds of nations and thousands of interest groups that constantly seek to influence American public policy.

If the only nation doing that which you are bothered by is Israel, and if the only PAC doing that which you are bothered by is AIPAC, and if you drone on incessantly, endlessly and vigorously about Israel/AIPAC and no OTHER NATION OR PAC, rational, intelligent people know why that is.

It's because you are an antisemite.

And if you want to say "Oh you are so wrong, I'm bothered by ALL nations and PACs attempting to influence US policy," but literally the only time you ever mention it in your X feed is in the context of Israel, you are an antisemite.

Don't like that? Want to unfollow me because I said that?

Good.

Beat it.

Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people.

AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs.

One creates. The other destroys.

They are not the same.

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:

"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball......
But the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball, just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence.
I got a double.
When I got to second, Satchel told the third baseman:
'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.'
Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle, and I hear the third baseman say:
'There he is.'
Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me.
I walk halfway to home plate and he says:
'Little boy.'
I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect.
He walked halfway to home plate and said:
'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you.
I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down' and I'm saying in my mind:
'I DOOON'T THINK SOOOOOO.
If he threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere.
I turned to the catcher and asked:
“What does he mean?”
Catcher told me:
“He’s going to throw you three fast balls.
Nothing else.”
He threw me two fastballs and I just swung.....
I swung right through it.....
And the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said:
'Go sit down.'
This is while the ball was in the air.
Yes, he struck me out with three pitches.
He was just magnificent."

SpaceX president @Gwynne_Shotwell reveals over half of all 22,000 employees bought an extra $1,000,000,000 of stock in their own IPO

"We're about 22,000 strong. I'm super proud that over half of us actually bought additional stock in this opening, totalling a billion dollars"

"The thank-you go to all of you for hanging in there, for keeping a straight spine as the doubters doubt, to achieve historic things every day"

Can you imagine how stupid the students in their classes have to be for the woke faculty of the University of California to beg the UC Academic Senate to bring the SAT back?

Even race hustlers like Al Sharpton, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Kamala Harris and Black Lives Matter National know that if they popped off about the obviously guilty Karmelo Anthony, they’d look like…race hustlers.

Under President Trump, U.S. exports are SURGING, and the trade deficit is SHRINKING FAST. 

We’re no longer getting RIPPED OFF by the rest of the world. We’re DOMINATING as the #1 economic powerhouse on Earth!

Factories are reopening, jobs are returning, and American energy is fueling the world.

This is what happens when you put America FIRST!!

[Sholdon Daniels @SholdonDaniels]

Hey @SenWarren stop bashing on Elon Musk.

He is an African-American and your attacks on him are clearly racist.

Stop the Democrat’s bigotry!

AOC must issue a correction! 🤣

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.

— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)

— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.

— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”

— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.

— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.

— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

🚨 JUST IN: Marco Rubio's State Department just carried out a MASSIVE birthright citizenship scam bust in Africa and Europe

Visas are now being REVOKED, and the birth scams are being shut down 👏🏻

The Supreme Court should do the right thing, step in and END it once and for all.

This is an entire INDUSTRY entirely based upon defrauding America.

When Israeli Prime Minister 'Iron Lady' Golda Meir met Pope Paul VI on 15 January 1973, he criticized the state of Israel.

In response, PM Golda said:
"Your Holiness, do you know what my earliest memory is? A pogrom in Kiev. When we were merciful and when we had no homeland and when we were weak, we were led to the gas chambers."

Elon Musk didn't vote for Obamacare - @TheDemocrats did.

@elonmusk didn't sell his medical practice to corporate conglomerate Allina, that raised prices for everyone in Minnesota - you did.

You did this, Kelly - not Donald Trump. Not Elon Musk. You.

Elon Musk makes Americans millionaires by building companies and creating real wealth.

Ilhan Omar makes Somalians millionaires by enabling fraud and gaming the system.

They are not the same… One creates. The other steals.

[Brandon Tatum @TheOfficerTatum]

Karmelo Anthony’s father falsely claimed on CBS that his son was convicted by an all-white jury. Official court records show the panel included white, Asian, and Middle Eastern jurors.

If you murder someone with a knife, spending 35 years behind bars is an incredibly merciful sentence compared to what you actually deserve.

[Jackie Chea ⚖️ @Fair_and_Biased]

On this first day of his trillionaire status, I’d like to thank @elonmusk for using some of that wealth to buy @X and save free speech online. 👏🏻
