RE voting: for being an immigrant you're terribly American for ignoring the history of voting here
@elonmusk It's way more complicated and nuanced than this but you're just trying to sway the masses with an obscure opinion to get your way. Just pass on (your wealth) already
When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.
In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.
Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.
If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

BTW, what I respect most about you is that you go all in with your own money for your startups.
Most people don’t have the balls to do it.
Here are 10 lessons I ultimately learned, but wish someone had taught me before I started my legal career:
1. The people you work with will have a far greater influence on job satisfaction than the firm and/or practice group you work for.
In Citizens United, “independence” and “transparency” of political spending were foundational premises of the decision. If those premises weren’t true, the decision had no foundation. And those premises weren’t true. So I told the Court.
Tomorrow a robot lawyer fights a bear in court. The next day the bar exam is replaced with juggling and water sports. An hour later the Supreme Court holds that says that dormant commerce clause is actually awake
