@zipitsweety None of the above, irrelevant poll!

@DefiantLs Those poor kids….

@matt_horncastle I agree with you we could do with a smaller government, less bureaucracy, less tax. But a govt half the size could still spend and invest the same amount of money. Just the salary bill would be lower.

@the_salty_one_ Thank you @elonmusk for buying Twitter and turning it into X. It’s true I can get onto X via Starlink with no meddle men, eh!?

@m002u2 @aniobrien Righteously so!

[michaelmohr @MohrMichael8]

@maddojan @aniobrien You missed my point

[michaelmohr @MohrMichael8]

@Elli75923 So he’d rather be dead? Than standing in the courtroom? Is that contempt of court?

[michaelmohr @MohrMichael8]

@LuvAgent99 @aniobrien My point! Parking with a trailer almost always require at least 2 car parks.

I didn’t say I condone her behaviour of parking in the disabled car parks. Unacceptable. Thought I didn’t need to point that out

@stew_rachel @aniobrien Ok!

November 2023. The most powerful companies on Earth lined up to make him kneel.

Disney. Apple. IBM. Comcast. They pulled their money and waited for the apology.

The whole press corps wanted one word out of him. Sorry.

Sorkin leaned in and offered him the exit. Just walk it back.

Musk: “If somebody’s going to try and blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself.”

No retraction. No cleanup post at 2am. No quiet calls begging the brands back.

They wrote that it was over. That he’d finally buried his own company.

He was worth around $230 billion that night.

This week SpaceX went public.

He became the first trillionaire who has ever lived.

Forbes puts him at $1.1 trillion. Almost four times the next richest person alive.

This was never about him.

The people threatening you only hold the power you agree to hand them.

Every time you apologized to keep the peace, you taught them the price was you.

He refused to pay it once, in front of the entire world.

The world blinked first.

The crowd never remembers who knelt. It remembers who refused to flinch.

The only person who can ever make you beg is you.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

@joeroganhq Hear hear- the deporter in chief!!

[michaelmohr @MohrMichael8]

@Gulfalert @nicksortor Just good there were plenty of ppl there to secure the evidence and promptly upload it for the police to see. Lol
