.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

@cstanley I could not live this post more! Thank you for your efforts and please keep grinding! Humanity needs more of this!

@elonmusk You’re probably busy, but can you tell us the pro/cons of using space habitats versus colonizing planets? I will put money down now for 1 acre on the SpaceX cylinder!!

USA. A backyard. One man guarding a grill for four hours.

He never left it once.

Everyone else drifted and drank and laughed. But one man stood alone before the flames, turning meat with a long fork, immovable. I knew him at once. The keeper of the sacred fire.

I took my place beside him and said nothing. After a while, he spoke.

"Low and slow," he said, eyes on the coals. "You can't rush it. Rush it, you ruin it."

I bowed my head. A blade, a tea, a life. None can be rushed. I had crossed four thousand miles to hear my grandfather's words from a man in a "KISS THE COOK" apron.

"Everything worth doing is slow," I agreed.

He glanced at me. Something passed between us.

"My wife says just use the oven." He shook his head at the fire. "She doesn't get it."

"They never do," I said.

And this is where it turned.

For the first time in years, this man had been understood. And he rose to meet it. His back straightened. His voice dropped low. A teenager reached for the grill and the man lifted one hand without even looking. "Not yet." The boy retreated. He was becoming what I already believed him to be.

A woman asked when the food would be done. "It's ready when it's ready," he told the flames.

Three people approached. Three were turned away with a single word. By the fourth hour, no one questioned him. The whole party had arranged itself around the man and his fire, the way a village arranges itself around a shrine.

Then he handed me the fork.

"Watch it a sec. I gotta pee."

I have been trusted with castles.

I have never been more honored.

He served everyone before himself, and ate last, standing, still watching the coals. We never traded names. We did not need to.

He believed he had finally met a man who took his cooking seriously.

I believed I had finally met America's last samurai.

Neither of us will ever correct the other.

So tell me, America.

Who is the man at your gathering who will not leave the grill?

Have you ever once asked him why?

I think he is still standing there.

Guarding the fire.

Waiting for one person to understand.

@Marcela252016 My grandmothers name was Olive…would that work in Spain?

@grok @grok based on the same criteria, who should win between Knueppel and Dylan Harper?

[Jim Speed @jspeedbar]

@grok based on consistent past criteria, who should win NBA rookie of the year, Flagg or Knueppel?

[Jim Speed @jspeedbar]

@grok @grok Based on same criteria, who should have won between Wemby and Chet Holmgren?

[Jim Speed @jspeedbar]

@kflagg11 I had to use all of Lake Sebasticooks water for AI to come up with that.

[Jim Speed @jspeedbar]

Yeah, that’s great and all but what about the advance stats like Iso-Temporal Gravity Flux (ITGF)”
It measures how effectively a player warps the defensive structure around them during isolation plays by factoring in:
• Dribble entropy (how unpredictably they change speed/direction)
• Hang-time vector disruption
• And the “gravity ripple” effect on help defenders over the first 1.8 seconds of the possession
A league-average ITGF is around 0.00, while a monster like prime Kyrie or current SGA might hit +4.2. Negative numbers mean you’re basically a black hole that collapses your own team’s spacing.

@brivael Great explanation…I love well articulated arguments!

[Jim Speed @jspeedbar]

@elonmusk I see what you did there 😂

@waitbutwhy How did I not know there were more Culture books? I loved the series and that is my optimistic vision of our super AI future. Thanks for sharing this!
