Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Kimbal Musk explains United States Government wants to pay $1 billion dollars per rocket launch
SpaceX came along and said no, the price is way lower at only $50 million
US Government pushed back and wanted the cost $1 billion dollars per launch
“Government would say, "But we'll pay you $1 billion. We just want you to do it our way." No, but that's the wrong way. You have to do it this way. It's $50 million. We were very happy with that price. The government was like, "No, we don't want that." And we actually couldn't believe it. We're like, "But you must want it for a lower price." Actually, they didn't care that much about price.”
Basically it works like this
Old defense contractors can spend as much as they want and the government will pay that amount plus 10%. That means they have an incentive to make the launches as expensive as possible
SpaceX said here’s a fixed price of $50 million and if we can do it cheaper then we can keep the extra money
This is a much better incentive system because it saves taxpayers a huge amount of money and SpaceX gets rewarded for making launches cheaper
😮 Elon Musk paid $11 BILLION in taxes in a single year.
Not $11 million.
Not $110 million.
Eleven. Billion. Dollars.
While politicians who have never built a company, never met a payroll, never created an industry, and never risked their own capital stand at podiums demanding he pay ‘his fair share.’
How much is enough?
$11 billion wasn’t enough.
Creating hundreds of thousands of jobs wasn’t enough.
Revolutionizing electric vehicles wasn’t enough.
Revolutionizing spaceflight wasn’t enough.
Building global communications networks wasn’t enough.
The truth is simple:
For some people, success itself is the offense.
They don’t want more Elon Musks.
They want fewer.
Because a citizen who creates wealth is harder to control than a citizen dependent on government.
One man paid more in taxes than entire nations collect.
And somehow he’s still the villain.
The numbers aren’t the scandal.
The envy is.

Congratulations Elon.
The first trillionaire. 🚀
Can someone please explain it to me like I'm five, why members of Congress are more upset that Elon became a trillionaire than they are that Somalis have defrauded our government out of hundreds of billions of dollars?
Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.
They did not accept.
Novembre 2023. Le PDG de Disney retire ses pubs de X pour faire plaisir à la meute. Elon Musk, en direct, devant le monde entier : « Go fuck yourself. »
Tout le monde a cru à un coup de sang. C'était un tipping point.
Ce jour-là, Musk a dit tout haut ce que personne n'osait formuler : vous ne m'achèterez pas. Ni avec votre argent publicitaire, ni avec votre chantage moral, ni avec vos campagnes de presse. Le boycott était censé le mettre à genoux. Il a préféré perdre des milliards plutôt que de céder un centimètre sur la liberté d'expression.
Pendant des décennies, le jeu était simple : signaler la vertu en public, faire le mal en privé. Financer des ONG « bienfaisantes » qui détruisent les cultures qu'elles prétendent sauver. Financer des médias qui mentent à longueur de journée, qui ont couvert les grooming gangs pendant des années par lâcheté idéologique, qui ont préparé le terrain culturel où un prof comme Samuel Paty pouvait être décapité pour avoir enseigné la liberté d'expression. Acheter la compassion du peuple avec du greenwashing, pendant qu'en privé, vous n'en avez absolument rien à foutre.
Musk a capté ça il y a des années. Et il a décidé de tout casser.
Résultat, trois ans plus tard, jour pour jour ou presque : SpaceX entre en bourse, plus grosse IPO de l'histoire de l'humanité, et Elon Musk devient le premier trillionnaire de tous les temps.
Never bet against Elon.
Le message à tous les milliardaires de cette planète est limpide. Ceux qui financent la manipulation de masse pour asseoir leur pouvoir, ceux qui achètent les médias, les ONG, les institutions : votre modèle vient de mourir en direct. L'homme que vous avez essayé d'étrangler financièrement vaut maintenant plus que vous tous.
Le « new world order » que les globalistes avaient planifié vient d'avoir lieu. Sauf qu'il n'est pas le leur.
Le nouvel ordre mondial, c'est Elon Musk qui le construit. Et il repose sur une seule chose : la recherche de la vérité. Pas le signal de vertu. Pas la compassion achetée. Pas les mensonges institutionnalisés. La vérité, la création de valeur réelle, et des fusées qui décollent pendant que vos empires de papier s'effondrent.
Go fuck yourself, en effet.
