An open letter to Elon Musk,

I found out about you and Tesla back in 2012. I was so inspired by the mission, and by your leadership qualities, that it become one of my first investments.

By 2014, I was able to buy my first house and move out of my parent's basement because of that investment.

I become so inspired by the mission, I joined the company between 2017 to 2021.

Because of that, I was able to retire and pursue my passions.

Your ability to lead multiple companies at once, at a very high level at every single one of them, has been awe inspiring. It truly feels like we're living through an incredible technological revolution, with you at the helm.

Through that journey, we've seen you go through some weird times. Private at $420. Pot on Rogan. Bankwupt. Twitter. Trump, DOGE. Etc.

Regardless of the noise - some of it self-inflicted - we've watched you champion extremely important issues that face civilization. I think I speak for the majority in saying we're grateful for your efforts.

Especially during the last few years post-COVID, where things took a very weird turn.

And because of your efforts - buying X, being vocal, backing Trump - the Overton Window has shifted dramatically, and we can now discuss the real things that are facing us.

You even tried to take on the US fiscal problem with DOGE. Although there's a lot of work still to get done, you got us started somewhere.

I think now is the perfect time to recapture that positive side of you that inspired so many.

I've been fully aligned with your frustrations, and I'm glad you're at the forefront. Free speech, climate change, space exploration, the US deficit. These are all existential and incredibly important.

However, it now feels like we're at a cross-roads. Due to the US government being what it is - too slow, bloated, and old to change - we need everyone on board to push for serious change to dig ourselves out of the hole.

We all need to be inspired that a better future is still in front of us, and all the work we've put in thus far was worth it.

I think recapturing that energy will maximize the most positive outcome for civilization.

Just my 2 cents.

Walter Isaacson: Elon Musk isn't motivated by money or power. He deeply cares about humanity.

[Rep. Chip Roy Press Office @RepChipRoy]

Rep. Roy: "The truth is, our whole budget has grown from about 3.6 trillion a decade ago to 7.2 trillion.

Now it's doubled and everybody wants to applaud themselves for $160 billion of reductions and increases? I'm sorry, I don't think that's good enough."

Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?

[ELON CLIPS @ElonClipsX]

Elon Musk: America is going bankrupt extremely quickly and everyone seems to be whistling past the graveyard.

“The Defense Department budget is a very big budget. It's a trillion dollars a year. And interest payments on the national debt just exceeded the Defense Department budget. They're over a trillion dollars a year, just in interest and rising.

We're adding a trillion dollars to our debt, which our kids and grandkids are going to have to pay somehow, every three months, and then soon it's going to be every two months and then every month.

And then, the only thing we'll be able to pay is interests. And it's just like a person at scale that has racked up too much credit card debt. This does not have a good ending. We have to reduce the spending.”

Interest payments already consume 25% of all government revenue.

If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else! No social security, no medical, no defense … nothing.

400mbps low latency internet on a flight is a complete game changer.

Thanks @united @Starlink

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.

This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.

Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

All new XChat is rolling out with encryption, vanishing messages and the ability to send any kind of file. Also, audio/video calling.

This is built on Rust with (Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture.
