History102 is geweldig. Net zoals de podcast Whatifalthist van dezelfde maker.

BREAKING: President Trump confirms Keir Starmer is resigning as Prime Minister… before Starmer has confirmed it himself. The final humiliation.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

[LD François @leonfranswa]

@bertbrussen Ah bedankt. Precies hetzelfde als al z’n andere columns dus.

[david friedberg @friedberg]

they’re not jobs if they’re not valued. they’re not valued if there aren’t customers out there willing to pay them for their great work. needing the government to “create” a job is tantamount to welfare and that level of welfare resolves these individuals to a dependency on the government and lack of economic mobility. and chains our people, collectively, to a more indentured future.

you may be well intentioned but you have, and always will, fail to see the destitute folly of government as a job creation engine.

i have tried to engage you on this topic, in good faith, with empiricism and reasoning, but you have only dodged my points and pivoted to some populist refrain about the importance of taxation and the evils of productivity-driven success.

i can only assume you’re dodging these truths because you and the rest of the politburo leadership have deemed the conversation unsafe speech and put your oligopoly at risk.

let’s leave it at that then.

perhaps if your ways get their day, we can all bask in the glories of the dark ages ahead.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Amid all the predictable seething jealousy and bitter resentment to this news, I’d like to congratulate @elonmusk on an astounding achievement. He’s got there by being the most driven, creative, hard-working and ambitious business genius in history. Salut, Elon! 👏👏

Voor iedereen die denkt: gelukkig bouwen wij aan GPT-NL -- vergis je niet, dat ding kan echt. Helemaal. Niks.

My whole timeline is full of millionaires complaining about a trillionaire

@theallinpod @friedberg @raymondmens mogelijk goede info voor je podcast special

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

.@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.

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.

We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

[Andy @PositivFuturist]

When your entire worldview is based not on knowledge, but on what others think - the only possible rebuttal is a performance.

Het is wachten tot de uitzendingen met Pim Fortuyn of Theo van Gogh eruit worden gehaald en dan is de geschiedvervalsing compleet.

[Bart Nijman @BartNijman]

Wat een uitstekende, en beschaafde, vinger op de pijnlijkste plekken van de “vrije” pers, en over de “vrijheid” om met vlaggen van vijandige en repressieve regimes door Nederland te paraderen.

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals:

“The engineer is judged by the end product. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesn’t matter how brilliant his idea was—he’s ruined.”

“Conversely, if an intellectual has an idea for rearranging society and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.”

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

The Achilles vs Hector duel in Troy (2004) is where the movie fully locks in. Brad Pitt fights with this terrifying speed while Eric Bana makes Hector feel exhausted and honorable all at once. Still one of the cleanest sword fights put on screen

[De Belegger @De_belegger]

Genieten.
