So apparently Jill and I are on a plane to China with Trump, Elon Musk, half the Cabinet, and a collection of CEOs whose combined net worth could probably refinance the moon.

Totally normal day for Gen X.

And I just can’t stop laughing at how the media spent YEARS telling us:

- China hated Elon
- Trump was “finished”
- America was collapsing
- capitalism was dead
- and everybody important was abandoning the U.S.

Meanwhile, here we are somewhere over the Pacific looking like the cast of Succession meets Top Gun: Retirement Plan Edition.

Remember when China sanctioned Marco Rubio back in 2020 and everybody acted like the geopolitical chessboard had permanently shifted?

Now suddenly everybody’s still showing up to the table because — shocking development — nations tend to like:

- money
- technology
- manufacturing
- trade
- AI
- energy
- semiconductors
- and not being economically irrelevant

Who knew.

The best part is the internet meltdown cycle never changes.

Trump:
“America needs stronger trade relationships.”

Media:
“HITLER.”

Elon:
“I make electric cars, rockets, satellites, AI, and robots.”

Internet activists:
“Yeah but we posted an angry hashtag.”

Cool.
I’m sure Beijing is trembling before your TikTok resistance movement.

And flying with this group is exactly what you think it would be.

Trump walks around the cabin narrating reality like it’s an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Geopolitical:
“Great flight. Powerful people. Very high IQ. The Chinese are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.”

Elon looks like he hasn’t slept since 2019 and is simultaneously calculating orbital trajectories and wondering if the beverage cart could be automated.

Meanwhile Jill and I are sitting there like two exhausted Gen Xers who survived dial-up internet, chain-smoking restaurants, lawn darts, and drinking from garden hoses… wondering how in the hell we became side characters in the weirdest timeline imaginable.

Honestly, at this point if Trump walked into Beijing blasting “Danger Zone” while Elon live-streamed it from orbit, I wouldn’t even blink.

Because the people who told us America was over are still tweeting from iPhones, driving Teslas, using Starlink during hurricanes, and cashing checks tied to the same capitalist machine they claim to hate.

Gen X translation:
The world’s still running.
The adults are still making deals.

And the internet is still confusing hashtags for accomplishments.

Carry on.

@tessak22 @Disney @ABC The louder they get, the more the establishment caves. It’s really sad. But Disney was already excessively questionable, so there’s that.

@elonmusk riddle me this. I’m watching the movie Plane, but this happens too frequently as it is.

You mean to tell me that in 2025, with all the tech in the damn world, not a single commercial plane has a constantly-charging satellite phone on board to call their base if the transponder gets fried by lightning?

We’ve got smart fridges texting us about milk, but planes — giant metal tubes full of people flying 600 mph at 40,000 feet — are just supposed to hope for the best if systems fail?

That’s not “oops.” That’s criminally negligent.
Fix it.

Your future is predicated on your last appointment of the day.

Whoever you speak to last will dictate the future.

Regardless of whether it’s your family, wife/husband or a friend.

Protect who’s in your ear before you hit the sack.

Your future relies on it.

My husband and I decided we don't want children.

It was a difficult decision, but we're telling them tonight.
