You can dislike the man. That’s fine. But disliking someone’s personality isn’t the same as disproving their contribution. Tesla exists. SpaceX exists. Hundreds of thousands of people have paycheques because of companies he helped build from nothing.
Elon Musk didn’t stumble into wealth. He built things. Real things. Factories, rockets, electric cars, satellite networks. He bet everything on ideas most people called crazy and lost sleep making them work.
keep building, keep employing people. If Tesla struggles, that number drops. It’s less like having money and more like being responsible for an engine that thousands of people depend on. It’s Tesla plants employing thousands of workers.
It’s SpaceX rewriting what’s possible in space. It’s infrastructure, technology, and industries that didn’t exist before he showed up and refused to quit.
Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us.
It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously.
The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it.
If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.
If one rejects laissez faire on account of mans fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action. Ludwig von Mises
Ahead of today's hearing in Congress: my opinion piece with the @nytimes on why Covid-19 was likely caused by a lab accident.
My hope since 2020 has been for leaders, especially scientists, to lead the charge in investigating a plausible lab #OriginOfCovid - as opposed to shutting it down as a conspiracy theory or standing by while conflicted parties do so. That hope has been revived repeatedly in the past 4 years by courageous scientists, journalists and individuals who took on considerable risks to do the right thing and push for a fair investigation.
In sharing this analysis of the available evidence with potentially millions of NYT readers, my aim is to undo some of the politicization of this issue - which has stood in the way of a thorough and bipartisan investigation of this global catastrophe, resulted in mis-reporting on origins for 4 years, as well as hindered the implementation of effective measures to prevent lab-based outbreaks.
A wholehearted investigation by US gov has the power to unearth more compelling evidence while spurring whistleblowers to find their courage and opportunity. And, regardless of whether the pandemic came from nature or a lab, the world must not continue to bear the intolerable risks of research with the potential to cause pandemics.

Why Does America Have a Lack of Libertarian Representation? | Aaron Sobczak
Even though the US had a semilibertarian revolution, there are few libertarians in representative governance.

@Victorshi2020 Your one UBER driver research is nowhere near helping your argument that student debt should fall on the backs of even all those who paid for their own student debt.
