Success brings people together.
Gridlock, bureaucracy, elitism, and a lack of term limits are not healthy. Americans who need help do not benefit from such a government.
A government comfortable with that status does not benefit Americans.
This is the goal. Both want peace โ but under conditions. Now is the time for a deal! The tariff policy forces a bargain before the hot war that no one wants. One possible answer to the Thucydides trap is leadership. Weโll see.
My position remains firm. Presidents Trump and Xi are negotiating a Grand Bargain. A peace dividend isnโt on Wall Streetโs radar. But it should be. Pay close attention to what the President is saying.
Now imagine China recognizes that the below outcome is the likely outcome.
If you were China, what would you do?
The answer, I believe, is that you would sit down with @SecScottBessent and @realDonaldTrump and make a deal, and you would do so soon.
China is an incredible country with remarkably talented, innovative, hard working, and entrepreneurial people.
China no longer needs trade barriers and tariffs to compete. China does not need to steal IP to create innovative companies or electric cars or to advance AI. They have proven otherwise with Alibaba, BYD, and DeepSeek and more.
Imagine a world in which we do business with China on a level playing field and we cooperate to advance humanity.
What a world that would be.
Trumpโs industrial policy is reasonable. Heโs taking so much hate for standing up to unfair global trade practices and near-shoring supply chains โ which other countries are already accounting for with their own long-held industrial policy!
Fair trade is sustainable and good!
@elonmusk You do good work, no matter the optics. You try hard. Very hard. We call this leadership. You also try your hardest to fix mistakes quickly. Keep trying!
We could all do with 90% less social media. Imagine replacing that media consumption with independent, uncluttered thoughts.
Really, itโs mostly trash, itโs toxic for children and society, and we all know it.
@elonmusk@elonmusk the women are more educated. Full stop. Theyโre earning it by advancing themselves. Run the same data on men.
Formal education shouldnโt be a requirement for financial success, but it shouldnโt be acceptable to be an imbecile either. Men as a group need to improve.
@elonmusk While Iโm sure youโre on this to help avoid escalation โ are you on this?
What a horrible decision by the Biden administration.

@CollinRugg Tom Homan deserved an elevated role a long time ago. A non-partisan review of government attacks on him and his track record reveals a reason to reform the government.
