Elon Musk cried on national television when his childhood heroes called him a fraud.
Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, the first and last men to walk on the moon, publicly testified against SpaceX. They said Musk was reckless. That private spaceflight was dangerous. That he was going to get people killed. They asked Congress to shut him down.
These were the men Musk grew up worshipping. The posters on his wall. The reason he built rockets in the first place. And they went on television and said he was a disgrace to space exploration.
In a 60 Minutes interview shortly after, Musk was asked about it. He started speaking and his voice broke. His eyes filled. He couldn't finish the sentence. The richest man in tech, the guy who argues with regulators and fires engineers mid-meeting, sat on camera and cried because his heroes rejected him.
He didn't stop building. He didn't change direction. He didn't even respond to them publicly. He just kept launching rockets until the rockets proved him right.
Armstrong never lived to see SpaceX land a booster. Cernan never saw Starship. The men who said it couldn't be done died before the man they doubted did it.
Most people need approval from the people they admire before they act. Musk got the opposite of approval and acted anyway. That's the gap. Not talent. Not money. The willingness to keep building while the people you love most tell you to stop.

In Forrest Gump, Jenny is the master manipulator. She keeps drifting in and out of Forrest’s life, making selfish choices that often hurt him.
When Forrest meets his son for the first time and asks,
“Is he smart?”
That line, added late in production, wasn’t in the script.
Goodbye = God be with you
Holy smoke = election of a Pope
Breakfast = break the fast
Holiday = Holy Day
People have forgotten who they are, they don’t even know what the words they are saying actually mean.

This is a huge missed opportunity for the Church. On the 250th Anniversary of America it would have been a perfect time the welcome the first American Pope in his native land.

Wife woke up this morning and said the only thing that got her through the night last night was knowing there is a group of nuns somewhere out there waking up in the middle of the night to pray for her. Thank you sisters!
NEW: While other singers drop F bombs and virtue signal about ICE, Jelly Roll praises Jesus Christ at the Grammys.
“I know they're gonna try to kick me off here, so just let me try to get this out.”
“First of all, Jesus, I hear you and I'm listening, Lord. I am listening.”
“I want to tell y'all right now, Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus and anybody, everybody can have a relationship with him…”
RFK Jr. just dropped two MAJOR updates that most people completely missed amid all the HHS announcements.
One was on fraud. The other was on autism.
Secretary Kennedy announced that HHS is going after HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars in healthcare fraud.
KENNEDY: “We are attacking fraud. We have Oz finding hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicaid, Medicare fraud in states like Minnesota and California.”
“And we are clawing back that money.”
Then President Trump asked for an update on the root cause of autism — and Kennedy delivered a bombshell.
KENNEDY: “We have commissioned now dozens of studies, maybe over a HUNDRED and we are going to get those done for you.”
FRAUD: I was starting to think Somalis had a monopoly on fraud until Dr. Oz exposed a $3.5B hospice fraud ring in Los Angeles tied to the Russian-Armenian mafia. A single four-block stretch contains 42 fake Russian hospices.
