Another crime.
This attack tonight on the Monastery by the Russians in Kyiv makes no sense. It has a parallel with the bombing of London’s St. Paul’s in 1940 by the Germans. It won’t work. Someone tell me the military necessity of the Russian attack. There is none.

I don’t criticize The Democrats because I don’t like the DSA national socialists.
The same man who cut children’s cancer research is now a trillionaire.

Young conservatives and libertarians in DC started talking “privatizing NASA” in the early 1990s. It hasn’t happened but the capabilities were not outsourced to the same old defense crowd. Our concern then. @SpaceX
The irony of left wing politicians bashing Elon for becoming a trillionaire is that SpaceX was literally started due to their own incompetence By the early 2000s, NASA had effectively become a funding shell that was no longer doing what it had promised. Space missions were declining and the ambitions had dwindled down But instead of congratulating Elon for his incredible hard work in reigniting this industry, they have now turned their own incompetence as a weapon With this IPO, Elon must minted hundreds of new millionaires. Both employees and investors alike. There is not a single mention of this anywhere in their statements You didn’t want Elon to become a trillionaire? How about you create competent government agencies that actually do their jobs so that private companies don’t need to fill the gap But of course, that will never happen. The circus goes on

I can’t wait to see The Plan! @Keir_Starmer
Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

GS got it done.
Congratulations to SpaceX on today’s $75B IPO, the largest ever brought to market. Goldman Sachs is honored to have served as lead left bookrunner on this transaction, but more than that, we are proud of the strong partnership our people have built with the SpaceX team over the long term. I’ve known Elon for more than 15 years, as have several of my colleagues, and it’s been incredible to see his vision come to life and to work with Gwynne, Bret, and the entire team. We are excited as SpaceX enters this new chapter of its journey as a public company, and we look forward to supporting their mission of advancing the frontier of human space exploration.

Platner checks his SpaceX shares.
Being called a thug and the worst person ever to run for office by Donald Trump might be the highest compliment I have ever received.

The SpaceX success offers a fun and revealing psychological lens. Tesla offers a clouded view since we freighted car culture and topped it off with American politics. @SpaceX

Without risk takers like SpaceX, we would have a settled “no”, not an if. Europe annoyed, I know.
so a trillionaire is now a thing. incredible. i think americans are fine with that if they feel they have opportunities for themselves and their children. a big if.

We lost The Economist. We lost The Financial Times. We lost Rolling Stone. We lost National Lampoon. We even lost Mad Magazine. We gained County Highway @countyhwy. Check it out.

Lost contact with reality.
I want to be the first to say it, I think there’s a chance @RoKhanna saves the country.

There are two kinds of directors. This is the other kind. Google has 12,000 of them.
Scoop: A Google director resigned over the company's AI deal with the Pentagon for classified work. "I am quite sad that it had to come to this, and desperately hope Google management re-discovers its moral compass," he wrote in a letter circulated internally

Vibes are our strength.
The vibes are insane. Driving through the great state of Louisiana on our way to New Orleans. It’s crazy how diverse this country is, every day the scenery looks different.

Probably true. @SpaceX
🧵The SpaceX IPO isn’t overpriced. The future is underpriced. Fourteen years ago, Facebook’s IPO was mocked as a failure. I called it a Strong Buy. Those who listened made a fortune. SpaceX is the same story — only much, much bigger. It's the East India Company all over again.🧵

We fought like hell to ban door-to-door ballot collection in Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union.
⚠️ CALIFORNIA OPENED THE DOOR 29 DAYS EARLY... AND ALMOST NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. For 29 days before Election Day, campaigns can reportedly see who's voted, who's holding a ballot, and exactly where to focus their efforts. Then comes the part that will make your jaw hit the floor... If workers can choose which doors to knock on and which ballots to collect, what does that mean for the ballots they leave behind? Once you hear how this system works, you may never look at Election Night results the same way again. 👀🔥 Watch the full episode on my YT channel! Link is in the comments ⬇️
