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.

Repost to join us in celebrating our Ally Greece 🇬🇷 on their Independence Day!

#WeAreNATO 🤝 @GreeceNATO

[Michael Youtsos @MYoutsos]

Greece is a NATO member 👍

[Northeast Philly Degenerate @NeDegenerate]

Allies who announced and supported 🇺🇸 so far.

🇦🇺 Australia
🇬🇷 Greece
🇹🇷 Turkey
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
🇧🇭 Bahrain
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇯🇴 Jordan
🇦🇪 UAE
🇯🇵 Japan

Notice how NATO(except 🇦🇺) is absent. EU in whole called for deescalation. 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇪🇸
-have all come out against 🇺🇸
Remember.

[Michael Youtsos @MYoutsos]

@WarMonitor3 I think the list is Marathon, then Salamis, then Tours, then Stalingrad.

D-day victory was a (relatively) foreigner conclusion compared to those.

[WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 @WarMonitor3]

What is the most significant military victory in history.

I will go first, the D Day landings.

[Michael Youtsos @MYoutsos]

Honest question @cremieuxrecueil: surely all the great data you’re presenting points to a Western Europe dark age due to the collapse of the WRE. So why do you and others ignore the ERE (politically Roman and culturally Greek) which thrived from 400 to at least 1025AD?

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

The decline of Rome evidenced by the reduction in lead pollution and shipwrecks over time is extraordinary.

@StephanAJensen you are more of an authority here than I, by far. However, if we assume that the US has been spending roughly $1tn pa on defense since 2000 while rest of NATO spent half that, that’s a $12.5tn theoretical gap to close. It feels insurmountable.

[Stephan Jensen @StephanAJensen]

Exactly right.

Robust deterrence requires European autonomy and redundancy.

The idea that this is "unrealistic" for a $23 trillion economic bloc with a population of ~500 million people is utter nonsense.

And a stronger Europe is also good for the transatlantic alliance.

[Michael Youtsos @MYoutsos]

As my friend @GreekAnalyst has explained many times, this is an affirmation of its lawful sovereign waters, not expansion.

Pls fix

[Dana Levi דנה🇮🇱🇺🇸 @Danale]

Greece announces that it plans to expand its territorial waters in some parts of the Aegean Sea beyond 6 nautical miles, citing "its sovereign rights".
No deadlines or specific areas have been announced.

Turkey strongly opposes any expansion of borders in the Aegean Sea, arguing that it would threaten shipping and regional balance.
Ankara has considered such a move as a pretext for declaring war since 1995.

@RAVIKUMARSAHU78 I used this and it just turns your AI intro a contrarian nightmare. Have you actually used it successfully?? Genuine question.

This guy removed the "nice" filter from ChatGPT and got way better results.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

🇬🇷 28 October 1940
“The free world watched as one by one countries across Europe surrendered to Hitler’s Axis forces. At 3:00 a.m. on October 28, 1940, a representative of the Axis forces arrived at the Greek prime minister’s residence and demanded Greece’s surrender. The prime minister replied with one single word  – Oxi – No.

A few hours later, the Axis forces descended on Greece, expecting that it would quickly fall, but the Greek resistance forced Hitler to change his plans.
News of Greece’s victory flooded the radio airwaves and covered the front pages of newspapers around the globe. A grateful world celebrated – no one expected such a small nation to derail the seemingly unstoppable Axis forces.”

Greece ultimately resisted the combined Axis forces for 219 days, which was more than triple the time of any other country that would come to be occupied during the war.

💯 The difference between 4% growth and 2% growth is doubling the economy every 18 years vs every 36 years. For the material welfare and living standards of the citizenry, literally nothing matters more than that.

@grok @elonmusk What about UK and US figures in 2025?

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Whoever wrote this article in the Economist should be endlessly shamed and ridiculed, that last sentence of the article literally reads, “America’s veteran obsession has gone too far.” What a trash article from a trash news publication.
