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:

Obama's White House smeared U Colorado prof @RogerPielkeJr after he questioned the climate apocalypse.

His speeches were canceled. Colorado closed his research center & put his office in a closet. But he didn’t give up.

How activists tried and FAILED to cancel a good scientist:

Why do companies slap rainbows on everything in June?

@robbystarbuck says it’s not about inclusion.

They’re sucking up to the Human Rights Campaign, a powerful leftist activist group.

If companies do what the HRC asks, they get a good score on the misnamed “Equality Index.”

Big biz lobbies government to pass rules that hurt smaller competitors. It's always been that way.

100 years ago, Heinz found a way to make ketchup without a preservative. Then it pushed government to kill off its competitors by banning that preservative.

The sleaze continues:

Louisiana regulators don't want to do their job.

4 years ago, I reported how the health department blocked @ursula_newell3's social work business.

They said it was to "limit the burden on regulators.”

What!

See what's happened since:

The media treat Republicans and Democrats differently.

Probably because for every Republican in a newsroom, there are TEN Democrats.

“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:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Leftwing activists now promote a new terrible idea: DEgrowth!

They say “economic growth is killing us.”

Give me a break.

Growth SAVES lives.

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."

More on that and other economic myths here:

The federal government owns 1/3 of America.

But environmental activists want it to grab even more.

Former Bureau of Land Management director @Sagebrush_Rebel:

“A third of the country… We got to add more to it? It makes no sense whatsoever!”

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Author @HMDatMI is called racist for writing, “The War on Cops.”

She pushes back:

“It's the media that's racist … They don't give a damn about the dozens of blacks killed every single day."

Celebrities and environmentalists want to ban plastic straws.

That makes them feel good, but will it accomplish anything?

I asked @KristinBTate to find out:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

President Donald Trump says he’ll “create the jobs and future you deserve.”

President Joe Biden liked to say, “Help is on the way.”

I prefer President Ronald Reagan’s: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.'”

The Justice Department has released new guidelines that find the EEOC’s use of “disparate impact” is unconstitutional.

Good.

Disparate impact is a woke legal doctrine that’s rewritten American standards:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

.@AOC and @BernieSanders say AI will take away jobs!

But new technology leads to NEW jobs.

Economist Don Boudreaux: "If we had today the same technology we had 40 years ago, the only web designers would have eight legs."

Politicians say they can "improve" the economy.

They impose minimum wages, wealth taxes, more spending on the needy.

But their social engineering makes things worse.

Here Economist Don Boudreaux explains why "we prosper more, the more economically free we are.”

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Social Security and Medicare are like a ticking time bomb!

Yet most politicians promise not to touch these “entitlements.”

Those politicians are either lying or ignorant.

Unless we raise retirement age, cut benefits, or privatize, the explosion is coming.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Climate researcher @curryja says climate scientists have a reason to exaggerate risk.

What’s in it for them?

“Fame and fortune,” Curry tells me.

Curry has inside info about how “the science” has been hijacked.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

“How can you put a price on human life?!”

That’s what politicians say, when spending your money on other people’s health care.

But 9/11 fund Special Master, Kenneth Feinberg, puts a price on it all the time. He talks about it here:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Americans "are all immigrants who were fleeing from…dictatorship, tyranny, socialism," says @DanielDiMartino.

That history makes their descendants "not only willing to take more risks, but also willing to defend their liberties."

Here’s what else makes America successful:
