Here’s the reality. @elonmusk is a lot smarter than you.

Capitalism wins again

[Natalie F Danelishen @Chesschick01]

Bernie Sanders and AOC haven't created a single millionaire.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires.

Socialism vs. Capitalism

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.

“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.

There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.

At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.

We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.

And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

Maybe it’s true that the most basic thing everyone wants is to know that the ones they love are glad they were there.

[Melissa the Hopeful🏠Homemaker @BiblicalBeauty]

Steven Bartlett, host of the podcast, The Diary of a CEO, released an interview with Christian apologist, John Lennox, this week, and his closing comments to him were fascinating:

"One of the most compelling arguments for God that you've presented (and your way of seeing the world and being) is not actually necessarily anything you've written in your books or not not necessarily anything you've said. It is actually you.

You have a certain peace and contentment that I rarely see in people that I interview, but I often see, and I've almost always seen, in the Christians that I've interviewed, and this is a interesting phenomenon for me...it seems to be a trend that a lot of the Christian apologists that I've interviewed have that anchoring that so many of us are looking for."

What a great witness.

He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral.

Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice.

And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust. — Thomas Aquinas

[Lance Murphy @rlancemurphy]

Aren’t we constantly short of that standard? Isn’t it our “state”? “Short of God’s glory.” At least outside of the gospel/Christ.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Today, in some capacity, you will fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Chances are, you already did! We need to be forgiven, and God provides his most significant mercy on the Cross of Christ (Romans 3:24-25).

[Kevin Carpenter @kejca]

Charlie Munger: "Capitalism is efficient when the people making the decisions are doing it about their own property, instead of just as hired employees of some state-owned enterprise."

"When the Chinese went away from collectivist agriculture and let each peasant have his own plot of land and he got to keep the crop after his costs, the grain production went up 60% the first year. Who in the hell would want collectivist agriculture when it was that inefficient compared to capitalist agriculture?"

[Lance Murphy @rlancemurphy]

Anyone who’s against @elonmusk and @DOGE are criminals trying to hide fraud.

[Tironianae 🍊🍊 Z. - Ultra Verbum Vincet @Tironianae]

Ready to have your mind blown?

Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:

- He found that we are giving money to Syria
- He found that the USAID has 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion
- He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam. Our money, taxpayer money

- He found that USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group, they got $1.5 million to QUOTE, “advanced diversity, equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
- They found that USAID spent $164 million to support radical organizations around the world
- They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations

“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”

I doubt she could pass my 10th grade class.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

Ketanji Brown Jackson keeps proving that she has no knowledge of the Constitution. This time, even her liberal colleagues couldn’t stand with her. In a lone dissent, she argued that if a judge feels like something is an injustice, they should have broad power to fix it.

That undermines our entire legal system. Where in the Constitution does it say that a judge should have the power to just ignore convictions and let people go because they believe they're righting a wrong?

[Lance Murphy @rlancemurphy]

If you have to pay for it it’s not real. The anger at ICE is imaginary.

The cost of grace is the cross. To add your obedience, works or commitment to that cost… that’s what cheapens it.

I wish @x had a feature to choose “I get it already” for posts about topics you’ve seen 50 times already.

[MAZE @mazemoore]

2010. President Obama shoots down the idea of stopping deportations and allowing those living in the country illegally to continue to live without facing the law.

The left now calls this mindset fascism and claims anyone who supports it is evil.

[Lance Murphy @rlancemurphy]

Love his attitude

[James Boyd @RomeovilleKid]

#Colts QB Anthony Richardson Sr. on his vision: “It’s good. I’m out there throwing the football nice.”

Awkward returning amid a trade request? “I don’t think so. I signed a contract. I was still on this team regardless, before the trade stuff. I got an obligation to this team.”

[Joe Rogan Podcast News @joeroganhq]

Reporter: "Is it safe to say that, based off your comments, you're suggesting that these women at these abortion rallies are ugly and overweight?"

Matt Gaetz: "Yes."

[The Daily Spurgeon @dailyspurgeon]

There is never a prayer that God accepts but the Spirit first writes it in our hearts. True prayer is not so much our intercession as the Spirit of God making intercession in us.
