Don’t spend major time with minor people. People doing nothing want you to do nothing with them.

People going nowhere want you to go nowhere with them.

If you want to change your life change your relationships.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

True story: I met Kobe Bryant outside Equinox Newport Beach at 4:55am in 2017. It was a year after he retired. He should have been relaxing, but he was literally waiting outside the gym for it to open. His mindset applied to everything. I'm still inspired by that encounter.

Life is not about how much you succeed, it's about what happens when you fail. It's about resilience.

Nvidia CEO: There are a lot of things in life that I think you can learn and you just have to be given the opportunity to learn it. Do not give up on people.

Demanding excellence from others is easy work. Developing excellence in others is hard work.

"Not affected by success.
Not affected by failure.
On to the next play.
Never satisfied.
Playing to a standard, not the circumstances of the game...

First, you form your habits. Then your habits form you."

I’ll never stop giving God the credit.
Because there were moments I didn’t know how I was gonna make it out.
Places so dark I couldn’t see my own way forward.
And when I didn’t have the strength, God did.
He reached down, picked me up, and reminded me
You’re not done yet.
