.@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.

General Keane spot on as always. “This is who they are…Hezbollah must move north of the litani river or we don’t have a deal…must have compliance…this is about changing the regimes behavior”

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

“Elon Musk is a trillionaire.”

As a securities law attorney, please allow me to explain how anyone who says this is basically lying to you:

1. The Securities and Exchange Commission has a myriad of laws that prevent founders and other large stockholders of publicly traded companies from dumping their shares. There are substantial holding period requirements, volume of sales limitations and public reporting obligations for stock sales. Basically, Elon holds largely illiquid shares, he is a “trillionaire” on paper only, and the best analogy is when people peg your net worth based on your home’s market price. That’s not money in your pocket, that’s the house you live in.

2. All that money raised in the IPO? That’s not going into Elon’s pocket like the lying socialist idiots want you to believe. It’s a capital influx that will be used to make more rockets and get more payloads into orbit. It’s a CAPITAL investment—that money is like a business loan, it’s not your money to keep, it’s your money to grow the business.

3. If it WERE legal for Elon to dump his shares, the share price would crash basically instantly and the company could very well fail.

If you bought SpaceX shares in the IPO, congrats. You just bought a lottery ticket, just like Elon. May the odds ever be in your favor.

So the next time someone screeches about how unfair it is that Elon Musk creates wealth that benefits all of humanity, throw the truth back in their faces.

Muslims went crazy after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this:

"Radical Islam doesn’t want just a small caliphate in Iraq or Syria. They see the United States as the greatest evil on Earth and seek to dominate the entire West. Radical Islam is revolutionary, it wants endless expansion, terrorism, assassinations, and total control. They hate America, Europe, Israel, and every Muslim nation that partners with us. Orlando, Pensacola, and domestic attacks prove it.

Radical Islam is a clear and imminent threat to the world."

I agree with every single word he said.

The story of how the Star-Spangled Banner became our national anthem is wild.

Born under fire in 1814, it exploded into a daily ritual at baseball games during World War I, and only became our official anthem in 1931.

Now, national anthems are played before games worldwide.

[Bruno Souza @brunosouzasc]

Elon Musk criou, em um único dia, 4.400 novos milionários.

Quase 400 deles ultrapassaram os US$ 100 milhões.

Não são banqueiros nem investidores de risco. São funcionários da SpaceX: soldadores, técnicos, mecânicos e até funcionários da cantina. Durante vinte anos, a empresa pagou gente de todos os níveis com ações, não só com salário alto. Quem produziu colheu.

Juan Hernandez, imigrante mexicano, aceitou um emprego de soldador por US$ 28 a hora em 2015, sem nem saber direito o que era a SpaceX. Recebeu uma pequena participação de US$ 10 mil e pôde comprar mais por desconto em folha. Hoje sua fatia vale US$ 880 mil.

Trevor Hise ignorou os conselhos dos pais para pegar um emprego “seguro” na General Electric. Escolheu a SpaceX, ficou 12 anos e acumulou mais de 100 mil ações. Ao preço da listagem, são US$ 13,5 milhões. Aos 37 anos, ele já pode se aposentar. Palavras dele: “A magnitude disso é ridícula.”

O detalhe mais eloquente veio antes mesmo da abertura de capital: mais de 100 funcionários se uniram discretamente para contratar uma gestora de fortunas capaz de cuidar de até US$ 5 bilhões. Muitos nunca tinham precisado de wealth manager na vida.

Há décadas os IPOs de empresas de tecnologia enriquecem programadores. Desta vez, o dinheiro chegou ao chão de fábrica. Isso é capitalismo de verdade: quem arrisca, quem trabalha e quem entrega valor colhe frutos proporcionais.

A esquerda odeia esse tipo de história. Porque ela prova que a verdadeira ascensão social não vem de dividir a miséria alheia, mas de criar riqueza que eleva quem tem coragem de construir.

At this point, it looks like Trump read Page 1, Iran read Page 2, and the mediators forgot to staple the documents together.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Never give up

[David Keyes @DavidMKeyes]

Trump wanted to sign in Europe. Iran wanted to sign in a Muslim country. So they settled on France.

@GuyAz I'm heading to the ER for a severe case of whiplash that I've been suffering from, for the last 4 wks, due to Trump's posts.

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.

Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.

Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.

Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

Watch the full video of Jerry Seinfeld @JerrySeinfeld telling leftist clowns that “Palestine doesn’t exist.”

This video is great.

[Steve B @SRBPenn]

@RealDonKeith The look on that reprobate's face after Jerry said "It doesn't exist" is priceless!

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Keith Kellogg, former Trump advisor:
"Having a protracted war is not the American way of fighting."

"We have to go back to the way we did in World War II and World War I and finish the job, destroy them."

Kellogg said the U.S. is currently "playing their game, not our game."

"lets play OUR game"

Let me tell you something about Turkey.

The collective national identity of Turkey is built on Jihad.

Turkey is basically the most barbaric clans and tribes of Jihadists from across the Muslim world.

They are a bunch of Jihadist colonialists occupying European, Christian lands.

[Max 📟 @MaxNordau]

The Jews turned the Land of Israel from a backwater into a livable place.

Their prosperity led to the immigration of 500,000 Arabs, who then tried to genocide them in 1948.

Biggest. Mistake. Ever.
