November 2023. The most powerful companies on Earth lined up to make him kneel.
Disney. Apple. IBM. Comcast. They pulled their money and waited for the apology.
The whole press corps wanted one word out of him. Sorry.
Sorkin leaned in and offered him the exit. Just walk it back.
Musk: “If somebody’s going to try and blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself.”
No retraction. No cleanup post at 2am. No quiet calls begging the brands back.
They wrote that it was over. That he’d finally buried his own company.
He was worth around $230 billion that night.
This week SpaceX went public.
He became the first trillionaire who has ever lived.
Forbes puts him at $1.1 trillion. Almost four times the next richest person alive.
This was never about him.
The people threatening you only hold the power you agree to hand them.
Every time you apologized to keep the peace, you taught them the price was you.
He refused to pay it once, in front of the entire world.
The world blinked first.
The crowd never remembers who knelt. It remembers who refused to flinch.
The only person who can ever make you beg is you.
In France there is a new activity that the Left is getting their knickers in a twist about.
Le Canon Français is running massive banquets. For about £70 you can have great food and drinks and spend time singing patriotic songs.
The “Far Left” is furious.
LFI says it has evidence of racist chanting, and of immigrant staff being insulted. With pork regularly on the menu, they say the feasts are purposely designed to exclude Muslims and vegetarians.
Meanwhile, everyday people who love France, love food and beer are having the time of their lives.
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.

🚨Governor DeSantis says some asshole judge in Washington DC ruled recreational anglers cannot fish for Red Snapper in federal waters.
The lawsuit was brought by commercial fishermen who want the fish ALL FOR THEMSELVES!
DeSantis says he will NOT enforce the ruling!
In the contrary it alienate an important group of people that are allergic to the minimal appearance of woke/modern content. I prefer to miss any great tv-show/movie that promotes modern audience content. I found myself getting back to old content for entertainment.
I gave a try to Alex Cross tv-show, and man I don't know where the TV people get the idea that in order to get entertained the product needs to reflects any version of current or past social/political situation.
Joe Rogan: “CIA found the pilot who got shot in Iran by using classified tech called Ghost Murmur and AI that detects human heartbeats up to 40 miles away. What sick f*ck invented this. What else don’t they tell us?”
