Royals cry about Thor's high heat. "TOTO, I'VE A FEELING WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS (CITY) ANYMORE!" #lgm #WorldSeries
Elon Musk: “The reason I felt that it was important to acquire Twitter was because I could feel the walls closing in. It was outrageous that they suspended the account of a sitting president
And I think it was only a matter of time before they suspended my account.
Twitter and, well, pretty much all the social media companies, and Google and everyone, are controlled by far-left activists. That’s the truth of it.
How do you know what’s real when it’s all filtered through a far-left San Francisco Berkeley lens?
They just manipulate the truth constantly."
Yup
Javier Milei: "Socialists propose to redistribute the wealth because they're unable to create it."
Thoughts?
He does it again. Scott Jennings gets the last word on CNN. 😂👌🏻
JENNINGS: If Elon Musk had never gotten involved in politics, never supported Trump … he’d be getting a ticker tape parade right now.
HINOJOSA: Do you agree that one person should have control in f American policy?
JENNINGS: Call me when you’re mad about Alex Soros.

You didn’t piss me off, Olivia. I’m not a moron.
I’m going to say something that will piss a lot of people off.
Elon Musk owes nothing to anyone. He’s lost a lot of money on his ventures, he’s gained a lot of money back. He’s worked hard. I get he’s RICH RICH, but why do so many think it’s his responsibility to “fix” things? There are A LOT of rich people in the world. Lots of things could be changed, but not just from the rich. It all starts in our own homes & from us individually helping anyone that needs help, big or small.
Yup.
Elon created $1 trillion of value.
Congress created $39 trillion of debt.
Elon’s wealth is not the problem…
“150% to $12 million”? How the hell did she get those initial millions in the first place?
Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record.
You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary.
Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.
Absolutely.
We are so very lucky that humans aren’t as stupid as monkeys. Because if we were, entrepreneurs and great minds like @elonmusk , Jeff Bezos, Dr. Jonas Salk, the late, great Steve Jobs, Jensen Huang, going all the way back to Thomas Edison and the thousands of others who created and invented and took chances to develop their visions would not have created the brilliant thinks that has allowed us - mere mortals - to live longer, healthier, safer, more comfortable, more enriched lives.
For those of you who disagree and want to “share” their wealth, well, all I can say, in my honest opinion, you are an envious, stupid, lazy Cretan. If you’re offended, well, too bad. Elon deserves the “First Trillionaire” moniker because he’s earned it. Rockets via Star Link. Neuralink. Tesla. Freedom of expression right here on X.
Disagree with me if you want. That is your right. As is mine to look at you and smirk, because I’m thinking how shallow you must be. And also feeling sympathy for you, because of your shallowness. Best of luck to you all.
in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

“To follow socialist morality would destroy much of present humankind and impoverish much of the rest.”
Economist Friedrich Hayek pointed out that no group of planners has enough knowledge to run an economy.
@ryanmcmaken of @mises explains why Hayek’s ideas matter today:

Well said, Ben.
Elizabeth Warren and Elon's haters say Elon is rich because of government contracts. Wrong.
70% of SpaceX's revenue comes from Starlink, Elon's satellite Internet service.
It is true NASA subcontracts with SpaceX for its rocket launches because Elon can launch rockets into space for one-quarter of the cost of anyone else . . . because Elon and his team invented reusable rockets.
The Biden Regime decided not to use SpaceX for political reasons -- decided to use Boeing to carry astronauts to the space station. But Boeing was unable to get the astronauts back to earth.
The astronauts were stranded at the space station for nearly a year.
Elon had to rescue the astronauts.
Because Elon is able to put up satellites so cheaply, 70% of the working satellites currently orbiting earth are from SpaceX.
Jeff Bezos is also trying to launch rockets into space.
His rockets mostly just blow up on the launch pad -- because launching rockets into space is hard.
America's space program was dead -- until Elon came along and built his own space program at his risk.
Elon also pioneered solar powered energy storage for electric power grids -- because the sun provides limitless, free, clean energy. This is a Tesla product that is primarily purchased by governments.
Elon also has the Boring Company, which aims to solve the urban traffic congestion problem by boring earthquake-proof flexible tunnels under cities.
Obviously, these can only be purchased by governments.
So, yes, some of Elon's business (a small fraction) has come from government contracts.
But Elon is rich because he focuses on solving the world's most important problems.
Elon's company Tesla is dedicated to transitioning the world to unlimited, free, clean, sustainable energy primarily by using the nuclear reactor in the sky called the Sun that is a source of unlimited free energy.
The sun provides the power, the batteries the storage. That's Elon's vision.
Also, Elon is not trying to transition the world away from fossil fuel use by force of government.
He is doing it by creating better products. Teslas are objectively superior and more cost-effective cars -- which is why the Tesla Model Y is now the bestselling car in the world.
Liberals used to love Elon because of Tesla's mission -- to transition the world to clean energy.
But now they hate Elon because he moved from being a Democrat to being a Republican. So Democrats organized terrorist attacks on Tesla dealerships and on Tesla owners.
Elon also has a company called Neuralink, which is solving wiring problems in the brain so that blind people can see, paraplegics can walk, and mental illness (such as bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia) can be solved.
Elon lives very modestly. He doesn't have a mansion.
The rumor is he doesn't even have a home.
All of his capital is tied up in his companies. His trillion-dollar net worth is only on paper, in the form of the stock he owns in his companies.
He's only worth $1.2 TRILLION on paper because his investors say he's worth this. The market says he's worth this.
In all, Elon's companies provide jobs to more than 160,000 people.
If you count all the companies that do business with Elon's companies (battery makers, chip makers, etc), Elon provides exponentially more jobs than this.
On the day SpaceX went public, 4,400 SpaceX employees became millionaires because of stock they owned in SpaceX. These new millionaire SpaceX employees include janitors, cafeteria workers, groundskeepers.
Elizabeth Warren and Democrats think this is horrible -- because Elon is showing that the American Dream is still alive and well in America.
Elizabeth Warren and today's Democrat Party openly hate America -- openly hope America loses to Iran.
Elon arrived here as an immigrant from Africa with nothing -- a few dollars in his pocket -- and then built all this.
In 1995, he created Zip2, which was an early online mapping company and city guide. When he and his partners/investors sold this to Compaq in 1999, Elon got $22 Million.
He then co-founded PayPal in 1999-2000. He and his partners/investors sold PayPal to eBay in 2004 for $1.5 BILLION. Elon's share from the sale was $180 MILLION.
He then found SpaceX in 2002, investing $100 MILLION of his own money -- pretty much risked his entire fortune on this enterprise. When I read about this, I thought this project had a near-zero chance of success. Who starts their own space exploration company?
Two years later, he also acquired a small company called Tesla in 2004. He invested $70 MILLION of his own money in this. Who in their right might decides to try to replace the existing fossil-fuel auto industry with battery-powered cars when the battery technology did even yet exist?
But almost every venture Elon tries works, spectacularly.
People invest in Elon because he makes money for those who invest in Elon over the long-term.
Would you rather invest your money in Elon, who will multiply your money because he knows how to use capital productively and efficiently . . . or in government, which will just use your money to finance more Somali fraud and more corruption?
Elon does not wake up each day and think: "How big of a yacht can I buy? How big of a mansion can I buy?"
Elon works 100 hours a week.
He thinks about increasing his rocket launch schedule so that he can colonize Mars in his lifetime . . . because his #1 goal in life is to transform humans into an interplanetary species . . . so that human consciousness can be extended beyond the lifespan of the earth.
This sure doesn't sound selfish to me.
Elon does not think about making money. He thinks about solving problems.
The money then just arrives because he's very good at solving problems. So investors voluntarily throw their hard-earned money at Elon.
He doesn't steal money like the government does.
He takes people's money, multiplies it, and returns it to investors -- at multiples of 10x, 20x, 100x.
Thomas Edison also got rich. He gave us the incandescent light bulb, the electric power grid, the phonograph, motion pictures, and more.
Elizabeth Warren thinks it's just horrible for inventors to get rich.
But how many trillions and trillions of dollars in wealth for others did Edison's inventions create?
How many jobs?
Thomas Edison created America's industrial revolution with his inventions.
Elon is today's Thomas Edison.
Elon is also saving America.
Elon saved free speech through his purchase of Twitter for $44 BILLION.
If Elon had not done this, free speech in America would be over. And it's highly doubtful Donald Trump would have won back the Presidency in 2024.
So Elon saved America with his purchase of Twitter.
Elizabeth Warren says Elon should have to pay a 5% wealth tax every year -- which shows how ignorant she is about how economics works.
Elon has almost no liquid cash sitting around.
His money is tied up in his companies.
If he had to sell 5% of his stock holdings every year to pay this tax, the stock market would crash.
He would have to fire his employees and downsize his businesses.
Why would anyone invest in his businesses or in any enterprise if the government is just going to come in and take 5% of it every year?
But this is how socialists think.
They think economics is a "zero sum" game.
They think Elon's money comes from someone else.
No.
Elon is literally creating wealth for all with his inventions. Elon creates wealth out of his brain.
Elon is now creating an army of AI humanoid robots that he says will take over most manual tasks.
He says that we are reaching a point when work will be optional, and when everyone will have a high income and nice life without working at all.
He calls this Minimum Basic Income -- but at a high level.
People will then be free to work on things they want to work on.
Sounds pretty good to me.
Elon also overcame horrific bullying when he was a kid. He overcame this without harboring resentment toward humanity.
In fact, it appears his primary motivation is to help humanity survive and prosper.
How many jobs has Elizabeth Warren created?
Zero.
How many of the world's most pressing problems has Elizabeth Warren solved?
Zero.
What of value has Elizabeth Warren delivered to the world?
Zero.
What Elizabeth Warren specializes in is stoking ENVY -- which is one of the seven deadly sins.
ENVY is a powerful and highly destructive force.
ENVY powered Communism and the slaughter of hundreds of millions of people during the 20th Century.
ENVY is what powers today's Democrat Party.
My comments towards Grandpa Bernie and his anger towards a trillionaire and billionaires. Hypocrisy is a very real thing.
Scott Jennings nailed the liberal meltdown over Elon Musk, becoming the world’s first trillionaire:
“All day long, I’ve been listening to liberals count and spend Elon’s money for him. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral? Why is it wrong for somebody in our system… to build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to put a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world?”
The outrage isn’t about “fairness”, it’s envy dressed up as virtue.
Success that creates jobs, technology, and real progress threatens a worldview built on grievance and zero-sum thinking.
Elon Musk is the shining example of immigration done right.
A legal immigrant who came to America, worked relentlessly, took enormous risks, and built companies that deliver massive value to humanity.
Not by taking from others, but by creating wealth that didn’t exist before.
Success isn’t a crime.
It’s the American Dream in action.
Congratulations, @elonmusk, well earned. Keep building. 🚀
The media treat Republicans and Democrats differently.
Probably because for every Republican in a newsroom, there are TEN Democrats.
Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.
“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.
There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.
And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

Watch this. And when you’re done, watch it again.
Progressives say the income gap between rich and poor is one of America's biggest problems.
But it's not true, says economist Don Boudreaux:
“Look at the data ... that gap is due to a statistical illusion."

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:
