@bennyjohnson With their choices and policies becoming worse by the day, they do not deserve another chance. The party should dissolve and a moderate alternative to the ruling party should be encouraged to develop.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:

1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.

2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.

3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.

This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.

All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

The car industry had a century to build an electric car people actually wanted. It didn’t.

The aerospace industry had sixty years to make a rocket reusable. It didn’t.

The telecom industry had decades to connect the billions it couldn’t profit from. It didn’t.

One person looked at all three and started crossing them off.

Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outsell their gas-powered rivals. A satellite network that beams internet from orbit to any point on the planet. A platform where speech is no longer filtered through a handful of editors. A chip inside a human brain that lets a paralyzed person control a computer with their thoughts.

And now a car that flies.

Six companies. Six industries. Each one operating at the frontier of its field while feeding engineering, data, and capability back into the others.

The rockets fund the satellites. The satellites fund the rockets. The cars train the robots. The AI runs them. The platform keeps the conversation free. The energy powers all of it.

People keep waiting for him to fail. They have been waiting for twenty years.

The rockets were supposed to explode. They land on boats. The cars were supposed to be toys. They outsell everyone. The satellites were supposed to be impossible. They connect six continents.

The brain chip was supposed to be science fiction. It is inside a human skull right now.

At some point the pattern stops being luck and starts being something the critics are not equipped to recognize.

Not because they lack intelligence. Because the framework they use to judge what is possible was built inside the institutions that couldn’t do what he does.

The conversation about Elon Musk has never been about Elon Musk.

It has been about how uncomfortable it makes people to watch one person accomplish what entire industries organized themselves to attempt and never finished.

History does not produce this combination often. The drive. The technical depth. The pain tolerance. The willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. And the insane ambition to attempt all of it at once.

Every one of these technologies would have arrived eventually. Reusable rockets. Electric vehicles. Global connectivity. Brain interfaces. None of them violated the laws of physics.

But eventually can mean fifty years. And fifty years is the difference between your grandchildren seeing it and you seeing it.

The most overlooked thing Musk has done is not any single invention.

It is how much of the future he pulled into the lifetimes of people who would have died before it arrived.

Earth does not get many of these.

And the people still betting against him are making the same mistake every industry made before he walked in and did the thing they said couldn’t be done.

@JDVanceNewsFans Where is the proof for your claims? If you don't provide proof, it would be your word against his word, and the issue would not be resolved. Provide proof for what you are claiming.

@DineshDSouza I have stopped reading your posts after seeing many click baits. Don't bother posting here.

@brivael Decades ago, nuclear power was throttled with regulations resulting in the demise of the industry in the USA. The same can happen for AI. However, other countries would not follow suit and USA can become a big loser in AI by throttling innovation.

@AmitSegal So he used praying for an opportunity to attack?

Good thing we just installed all these Muslim prayer rooms in Canadian government buildings - at our expense.

This is the question nobody seems interested in asking.

For roughly 80 years, global annual CO₂ emissions have followed a remarkably persistent upward trajectory.

During that time we've had decades of climate-crisis warnings, international treaties, climate summits, emissions targets, carbon taxes, mandates, subsidies and enormous expenditures intended to reduce emissions.

And yet the global emissions curve still looks remarkably similar to the long-term trend.

So here's the question:
What exactly has all of this accomplished in terms of the stated goal... reducing global annual CO₂ emissions?

@WWG1WGA_QQ Why were they told of the plans? What was the need to inform them of the plans?

@johncwright2001 Can you provide links to the articles with each of these statements? Then it would be easy to verify the statements.

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

The people hired to explain the world somehow became the least capable people in the room.

Journalists who cannot explain how prices work lecture businessmen about economics. Teachers who cannot define critical thinking assign essays on “misinformation.” NGO activists who have never built a company, shipped a product, met a payroll, or created anything more complicated than a hashtag explain why the people who actually build civilization are the problem.

Quite a system.

The modern world runs on supply chains, capital markets, software, energy grids, logistics, engineering, risk, incentives, and millions of voluntary decisions coordinating without some blue-check hall monitor issuing commands.

The explainer class looks at all that and produces its grand analysis:

Rich guy bad.
Government good.
More regulation.
Problem solved.

Then, when reality refuses to cooperate with the coloring-book version they taught the public, they do not reconsider. They demand more authority, more censorship, more funding, and fewer questions.

Because clearly the issue is not that they are wrong.

The issue is that you are still allowed to notice.

These people were supposed to be the bridge between complexity and the public. Instead, they became a tollbooth staffed by idiots, charging everyone admission to a distorted version of reality.

They cannot build the machine. They cannot explain the machine. They do not understand why the machine works.

But hand them a microphone and suddenly they are morally qualified to dismantle it.

The media did not merely become biased.

It became incompetent enough to mistake its own confusion for expertise ... and arrogant enough to demand that the rest of us call it truth.

1/ Texas, Utah, and nuclear startup Last Energy got tired of watching bureaucrats strangle America's energy future with red tape that *checks notes* isn't even legal. Last week they filed a lawsuit to put it to an end.

And the NRC's logic is wild: They regulate a university teaching reactor that couldn't power your phone charger THE EXACT SAME WAY as a gigawatt nuclear plant.
