Larry Ellison asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.
A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.
Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”
One question. No recovery.
Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”
This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?
Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”
They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.
They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.
And they publish it with absolute certainty.
That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.
Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.
His critics operate in a text editor.
He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.
His loudest critics built a byline.
So why the coordinated hatred?
Because they lost the leash.
The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.
They don’t hate the engineer.
They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.
You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.
They own the syntax.
He owns the physics.
One of them is going to Mars.
Elon Musk reveals the environmentalist viewpoint he says has become total madness
"There are 8 billion people on Earth and it would be better if there were none. I'm like, 'hey buddy, you can start with yourself. See if you really want to make a difference'"
"That's like a crazy viewpoint. That's like literally saying, let's genocide humanity. How can you say that with a straight face? That sounds like total madness"
"In the limit of environmentalism, it becomes like an ingrown toenail. A toenail's fine, but not if it's warped and ingrown. It's just gone too far"
"Humanity is not a blight on the face of the Earth"
"Even with climate change, life on Earth will still continue. The calamities Earth has suffered where life continued, gigantic meteorite impacts, super volcanoes, continents drifting all over the place"
"There've been times in Earth's past where it's been like a total snowball or absolutely sweltering hot. We had many extinction events, but life continued"
"We don't see the dinosaurs now, but they had a good run for 100 plus million years"
"Even if there's catastrophic climate change, life continues. It just may not be life as we know it. It may not be humans, it'll be something else"
"What we're talking about with climate change is not a threat to all life on Earth, but really maybe a threat to humans, a dislocation if low-lying countries end up underwater"
"Over time we need to move to a sustainable energy economy. We can't just keep taking billions of tons of carbon from deep underground and putting it in the atmosphere and expect nothing will happen forever"
"But we also don't need to be alarmist about it and super negative and massively disrupt people's lifestyles"
"People can continue to live a normal life. They shouldn't feel guilty about being human or having a stake. It's fine"
Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.
The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.
Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.
Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.
They took until there was nothing left to take.
America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.
And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Not almost unprecedented.
It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.
The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.
Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.
That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.
Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.
No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has blood in its history.
But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.
It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.
When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.
By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.
Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.
The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.
They shaped the modern world.
AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.
1945 was the first test.
AI is the last.
That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.
The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
🚨 BREAKING: In a stunning blow to the "experts," Japanese automaker Toyota has REFUSED to produce the Tacoma pickup truck in Mexico — instead opting for TEXAS, USA as part of a $3.6 billion investment
ANOTHER TRUMP WIN! 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Texas is set to gain 2,000 jobs from this investment alone 👏🏻
This is exactly what I voted for. And it will ONLY get better from here!
POWERFUL remarks from @RealTomHoman: "I’ve stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead people at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy—they all baked to death. I got to the crime scene, they’re all their underwear, trying to get some relief from the 170 degree heat in the back of steel truck with no air. Think of the way these people died. I've gone on my knees to talk to little girls as young as 9, that were raped multiple times by members of a cartel... That’s what happens when you have an unsecure border. Well guess what — there’s no little 9-year-old girl right now that anybody's getting on their knees and talking to because President Trump has closed the border down."
Reporter: “Does the administration consider Haiti a safe country?”
Stephen Miller: “For Haitians? Absolutely. Yes… Haitians live in Haiti. It is not our position that Haitians should leave Haiti. It would be crazy for us to say Haitians couldn’t live in Haiti. It’s their country. Of course, they should live in Haiti.”
“The fact there might be pockets in Haiti where there’s higher crime rates. Guess what? There’s pockets of Chicago with crime rates just as high… It has never been the case that having communities that have high crime rates is basis for asylum. Never has been, never will be.”
Iranian who escaped Sharia law warns the West:
"I'm Iranian. I went to prison under Islamic law.
I know how it starts… and it always starts with the Left uniting with Islamists.
I came to Canada for freedom. now I’m watching the exact same pattern.
They appease. Weakness invites more. They will never stop."
This man lived it.
The West is sleepwalking into the same nightmare.
General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.
At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.
Their mission: climb it.
The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.
The Rangers kept climbing.
It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.
They reached the top.
Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.
Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.
The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.
Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.
When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.
Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.
An 8-year-old Jewish girl was kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 and forced to record a video in captivity in which she begs for her release.
This is what Zohran Mamdani’s wife celebrated.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! A garbage truck driver absolutely LOST IT on anti-ICE rioters in Newark for BLOCKING him from driving down the road
“I’VE GOT KIDS! If I hit ya’ll, I GO TO JAIL!”
Then the rioters started FIGHTING each other in front of the truck
We’re dealing with some HORRIBLE people out here.
“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows.”
98-year-old World War II veteran David Yoho delivered an emotional message at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. as Americans gathered to honor the more than 400,000 U.S. service members who died during the war.
Standing before the crowd in the rain, Yoho urged younger generations to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone.
“Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”
