I love everything about the 4th of July, and the 250th anniversary is especially great for me because I am joining with family and friends for a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a BBQ, and fireworks.

As I reflect on what has happened over the 250 years that followed July 4th, 1776, it seems like an impossible dream come true. Think about it. Imagine that at the outset on July 4th, 1776, you were asked what odds for success a country would have if it would be mostly made up of poor immigrants coming from all different countries with very different cultures and religions and it would be governed by a political system in which the leaders reported to these people who themselves had to vote, compromise, and submit to life-changing decisions that many disagreed with. Would you bet that it would do exceptionally well and improve for 250 years? I would have thought that virtually impossible, yet America has been exceptional for 250 years.

I also see that it was shockingly terrific and lucky for me to have lived through the best part of those 250 years because I was born four years after the 1945 post-World War II beginning of the new American world order, which gave me the best time in history in the best place in the world.

These reflections give me a deep appreciation for the principles and practices—the secret sauce—that created and sustained this remarkable American story, a fear that we are losing sight of them, and a sense of responsibility to contribute to sustaining them.

Patriotism is love for your country’s culture and people. It is defensive.

Nationalism is love for your country’s state. It is power-based.

This is the essence of the distinction Orwell drew between the two terms.

Happy 250th birthday America! As a nation, we have so much history to celebrate, and at @NASA, we are just getting started. God bless the USA 🇺🇸

The Founders didn’t promise happiness, they protected the pursuit of it. No other nation’s founding document made one’s right to chase their dreams a core purpose.

That’s why America has always been the ultimate haven for the world’s most ambitious. Grateful to call it home ❤️🇺🇸

Last year, @elonmusk brought national attention to the paper-based federal retirement process hidden deep underground in Boyers, Pennsylvania.

The Last Day of Paper is more than a milestone, it is proof that government modernization can deliver real results for the American people.

Thank you @POTUS and @elonmusk for the initial discussions that led to this important accomplishment: https://t.co/JwdiLEt0Ko

BREAKING: Japan is testing Starlink-powered fire hydrant signs as emergency communication hubs.

• Japan has approximately 120,000 fire hydrant signs installed nationwide.

• The technical demonstration was conducted by Shokasen Hyoshiki Co., Ltd., a company that manages fire hydrant signs across Japan.

• The test explored mounting Starlink equipment on a fire hydrant sign to provide satellite internet connectivity.

• The goal is to transform existing fire hydrant signs into temporary Wi-Fi and emergency communication hubs during disasters.

• Residents could use them to access emergency information and stay connected if cellular and terrestrial internet networks go down.

• The project is currently an early-stage technical verification and has not yet been deployed commercially or nationwide.

This demonstration shows how @elonmusk's Starlink could help keep communities connected when traditional networks are unavailable.

In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.

He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.

Two years later, it was over. 🧵

Paraguay is entering a new era of connectivity 🇵🇾

Paraguay is working with Starlink through MITIC and COPACO to bring high-speed internet to more than 1,600 schools in isolated areas

This will connect 50,000+ students and teachers to online learning, digital libraries, collaboration tools, and new opportunities
