Curious TSLA and SPCX investor and big fan of SpaceX, SpaceXAI, Tesla, Neuralink and The Boring Company. Keep going, Elon. Show us the way to the future!

Fuck you if you hate on Elon Musk.

I’ve got nothing but two middle fingers for all of you who spend your whole day rooting for him to fail.

Bc when real life hits, a lot of the same people laughing today will end up hoping the technology he built actually works.

When someone you love is in a serious car accident, you’re going to wish cars were smart enough to prevent crashes in the first place. That’s the direction Tesla is pushing with FSD.

When someone loses the ability to move, you’re going to hope companies like Neuralink keep making progress toward helping the brain communicate with computers and potentially restoring lost function.

When powerful people want more control over what can be said on the internet and even censor it, you’re going to understand why having a platform like 𝕏 that fights for open conversation matters.

When a disaster knocks out your internet and cell service, you’re going to be thankful satellites are already above us and Starlink can bring connectivity to places traditional networks can’t reach.

And if humanity ever faces a threat big enough that Earth alone isn’t enough, you’re going to be glad somebody spent decades thinking about rockets, reusable launch systems, Starship, and making life multiplanetary.

Bro… this doesn’t mean Elon is perfect. No one is.

He says crazy shit.

He does crazy shit.

Sometimes he’s early.

Sometimes he’s wrong.

Sometimes he pisses everybody off.

But look at what he chooses to spend his life building… safer transportation, brain-computer interfaces, global internet, free speech infrastructure, energy, robotics, AI, and a path toward another planet.

You don’t have to like the man.

But spending your life hoping he fails is a fool’s game.

I’d rather bet on the person crazy enough to keep trying to solve problems most people are too afraid to even touch.

From everything I’ve seen, his heart is in the right place and his intentions are bigger than himself.

He cares.

We finally could experience FSD (Supervised) on a Tesla in Switzerland. And boy is that a gamechanger!
I want it! Now! ⚡️
It still baffles me, why we - as grownup citizens - cannot decide for ourselves what kind of software we'd like to use as a driving help. We are still in charge and fully responsible for everything driving. So why not let us choose? I would vote for every politician that pushes such an agenda. Less bureaucracy, fewer rules, more responsibility for people!

Is this clear message or does anyone need this explained with drawings?

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Je suis dans un train "climatisé" où il fait 26 degrés. Le wifi ne marche pas. Personne ne bronche.

Et c'est ça qui me fascine le plus : pas la panne, mais l'acceptation collective.

L'État socialiste a réussi un tour de force psychologique. Il nous a fait intérioriser qu'un service médiocre, payé une fortune, c'est normal. Que c'est même ça, le "service public".

Le même service dans un marché libre coûterait une fraction du prix. Et si la clim tombait en panne, vous seriez remboursé dans l'heure, parce qu'un concurrent attend juste à côté que vous changiez de crémerie.

Faites la liste de tout ce que l'État touche :

L'école : effondrement du niveau, profs en burnout, classement PISA en chute libre. L'hôpital : des mois d'attente, des couloirs pleins de brancards, des soignants qui fuient. Le transport : retards, pannes, grèves, prix qui explosent. La justice : des années pour un jugement. La police : débordée, démoralisée.

Budgets colossaux. Prélèvements records d'Europe. Résultat : tout est pourri.

Pourquoi ?

Parce qu'il manque deux choses que seul le marché fournit : le skin in the game et les prix.

Le skin in the game d'abord. Un entrepreneur qui livre un service pourri fait faillite. Il perd SON argent, SA réputation, SES années de travail. Un bureaucrate qui gère mal un service public ne perd rien. Il sera promu, muté, ou au pire il attendra sa retraite. L'échec n'a aucune conséquence personnelle. Donc l'échec se répète, indéfiniment.

Les prix ensuite. Hayek l'a montré : les prix de marché sont un système d'information. Chaque prix agrège des millions de décisions individuelles et signale où allouer les ressources. Quand l'État fixe les prix ou subventionne à perte, il détruit ce signal. Plus personne ne sait ce qui vaut quoi. On arrose au hasard, on gaspille, et on appelle ça de "l'investissement public".

C'est pour ça que le bureaucrate est le pire locataire possible de vos impôts : il dépense l'argent des autres, pour les autres. Ni incitation à économiser, ni incitation à bien servir. Milton Friedman avait résumé ça en une phrase : c'est la pire des quatre façons de dépenser de l'argent.

Le problème n'est pas tel ministre, tel gouvernement, telle réforme. Le problème est structurel. Un monopole sans concurrence, sans prix, sans skin in the game, produira TOUJOURS de la médiocrité. Peu importe qui le dirige. Peu importe le budget.

Si vous avez compris ça, vous avez compris 90% de l'économie politique.

Alors faites une chose simple : expliquez-le à vos proches. Au prochain train en retard, à la prochaine attente aux urgences, posez la question : "qui perd de l'argent quand ce service est mauvais ?" Réponse : personne. Voilà le problème.

L'information finira par se propager. Et un jour, collectivement, on arrêtera de gober.

Le problème, c'est l'État. Toujours.

For those that won't take the time to watch Mamdani's speech, just know he also took a direct shot at Elon:

"We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more."

This is clearly designed to get people to dislike Elon and think he's bad for America which is the height of stupidity. Life is NOT a zero-sum game. Elon's wealth creation (mostly tied up in his companies, btw) is in NO WAY the reason we have pockets of food insecurity or wealth inequality

Elon has directly and indirectly created industries that have provided for millions of families and raised living standards for many more. Elon's "hunger for more" is actually more ambition directed at solving hard technical problems to make our world a better, safer place and to make life multiplanetary to preserve the light of consciousness, creating millions of jobs through multiple tiers of the supply chains

America was built by capitalist institutions and incentives - credible property rights, low barriers to productive activity, reliable contract enforcement and a culture that supports achievement through voluntary means

I'd also add that the US already redistributes enormous resources and despite this, food insecurity rates have not gone to zero

Mamdani is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Elon said it best, if Mamdani's policies are put into place at scale, it will be a catastrophic decline in living standards for everyone

They need it.

Peace, order, and no suicidal empathy anymore.

Too many children are raped, too many people are getting killed.

The police and justice should be super hardcore with criminals, and the peace will come back.
