History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet. Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years. And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor. You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

This is absolutely insane: The SpaceX IPO has now drawn more than $70 BILLION worth of retail orders alone. SpaceX is raising $75 billion, making retail interest ALONE enough to nearly fill the entire sale. To put this in perspective, the previous record IPO was Saudi Aramco in 2020 at $29.4 billion. This means that retail interest in SpaceX is now 2.4 TIMES larger than the total amount raised in the previous largest IPO in history. As a result, SpaceX has announced that 20% of their IPO will be allocated to retail investors, following through on @elonmusk's vision to democratize the record IPO. Nothing even remotely near what SpaceX is about to do has ever happened. Friday will be a historic day.

Il faut avoir l'honnรชtetรฉ de reconnaรฎtre le coup de gรฉnie de la gauche, parce que c'en est un. Le plus grand hold-up rhรฉtorique du siรจcle tient en un seul mot : raciste. Voici le mรฉcanisme. Aprรจs 1945, aprรจs les droits civiques, l'Occident a fait du racisme le mal absolu. ร€ juste titre : c'est une de ses plus grandes conquรชtes morales. ยซ Raciste ยป est devenu le mot le plus radioactif de la langue, l'excommunication moderne, la mort sociale instantanรฉe. Le coup de gรฉnie a รฉtรฉ de dรฉtourner ce capital moral. Pas pour protรฉger des personnes : pour protรฉger une idรฉologie. L'รฉgalitarisme des rรฉsultats ne gagne jamais un dรฉbat sur les faits. Il produit l'inverse de ce qu'il promet, partout, ร  chaque fois. Alors plutรดt que de gagner le dรฉbat, on a rendu le dรฉbat impayable. Tu questionnes les rรฉsultats de l'immigration sans assimilation ? Raciste. Tu dรฉfends le mรฉrite ? Raciste. Les maths avancรฉes ? Racistes. Les frontiรจres ? Racistes. Le mot a cessรฉ de dรฉcrire un comportement pour dรฉcrire une position sur l'รฉchiquier. Et regardez la beautรฉ technique du dispositif. Pas besoin d'arguments : l'accusation suffit. Pas besoin de procรจs : la dรฉnรฉgation aggrave le cas (votre dรฉfensivitรฉ prouve votre culpabilitรฉ). Pas besoin de police : la peur fait le travail, chacun se surveille lui-mรชme et surveille son voisin gratuitement. Il suffit d'exรฉcuter publiquement quelques exemples par an pour tenir des millions de gens. Une idรฉologie irrรฉfutable, protรฉgรฉe par un mot imprononรงable. Les deux pare-feux du mรชme systรจme : la French Theory avait aboli la vรฉritรฉ, l'accusation a aboli le dรฉbat. Est-ce qu'un comitรฉ s'est rรฉuni pour concevoir รงa ? Pas besoin. Les idรฉes subissent une sรฉlection darwinienne : celles qui survivent sont celles qui se dรฉfendent le mieux. Marcuse avait quand mรชme dรฉposรฉ le brevet dรจs 1965, noir sur blanc : tolรฉrance pour les mouvements de gauche, intolรฉrance pour ceux de droite. Le reste a รฉvoluรฉ tout seul. Il faut l'avouer : c'รฉtait gรฉnial. Mais ce dispositif gรฉnial avait un coรปt, et le coรปt a un bilan. ร€ Rotherham, le rapport officiel Jay a รฉtabli que des fonctionnaires britanniques ont laissรฉ plus de 1 400 gamines se faire exploiter pendant seize ans, en partie par peur d'รชtre traitรฉs de racistes s'ils nommaient les faits. Relisez cette phrase. Des enfants ont รฉtรฉ sacrifiรฉes ร  un mot. Voilร  ce que veut dire idรฉologie mortifรจre : pas une mรฉtaphore, un bilan. Et maintenant, regardez ce qui s'effondre sous nos yeux. Une insulte ne fonctionne que si elle fait peur, et une monnaie ne fonctionne que si elle est rare. Ils ont imprimรฉ le mot comme Weimar imprimait le mark. Quand tout est raciste, plus rien ne l'est. Rรฉsultat : des tweets qui commencent par ยซ traitez-moi de raciste si vous voulez ยป rรฉcoltent des dizaines de milliers de likes et l'approbation de l'homme le plus riche du monde. Il y a dix ans, cette phrase รฉtait un suicide professionnel. Aujourd'hui, c'est un haussement d'รฉpaules. L'hyperinflation a tuรฉ la monnaie. Et voilร  la vraie tragรฉdie, que les faussaires devront porter : en imprimant le mot sans limite, ils l'ont brรปlรฉ pour tout le monde. Y compris pour nommer le vrai racisme quand il existe, car il existe. Les faux-monnayeurs ne dรฉtruisent pas que leur arme. Ils dรฉtruisent le mot dont une sociรฉtรฉ honnรชte a besoin. Privรฉe de son mot magique, l'idรฉologie va maintenant devoir faire ce qu'elle n'a jamais su faire : gagner un dรฉbat sur les faits. Elle ne le gagnera pas. Au travail.

SHOCKER: S&P 500 will NOT fast track SpaceX. So it will take AT LEAST a year, probably more. This is wild considering every other big boy index is 5-15 days. This could create significant return dispersion bt 'passive' indexes. Choose wisely.

As the Steam Engine Revolution
Attempted to write a Steam Engine hype at the era of Industrial Revolution as if it was the age of AI โ€” The steam engine breakthrough is insane right now. Wattโ€™s separate condenser new GRPO optimization just dropped the 405 hp-class engine. We went from 7 hp โ†’ 70 hp โ†’ 405 hp in basically three years. One machine now does the work of 50 men or water wheels โ€” nonstop, rain or shine, anywhere. Textile mills, ironworks, everything scaling 5-10x overnight. Productivity exploding. This isnโ€™t incremental. Itโ€™s automating physical labor at massive scale. Jobs shifting forever. Society about to look unrecognizable. The Industrial Revolution isnโ€™t coming. Itโ€™s here and accelerating faster than anyone predicted. Terrified. Excited. Both. What a time to be alive. ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ

The cheapest new combustion engine Volvo you can buy in Sweden is priced at a "recommended" price of 430 000 SEK ($43K). And the cheapest new Tesla you can buy is priced at 449 990 SEK ($45K) excluding the EV tax credit. But yeah, keep on telling us EV's are too expensive

No Iran means no money for H-z-b, no money for H-m-s, no money for the Houthis. China loses its proxy in the Middle East. Russia already lost Syria. Now it loses Iran. North Korea, Russia, and China have been supplying Iran with drones and missiles. That pipeline is now severed. And without Iranian petrodollars flowing to terror proxies across the region, Israel can finish the job at its ease. But Hanson zooms out further. This isn't haphazard. Trump is methodically dismantling the entire axis โ€” Iran, Cuba, Venezuela โ€” ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—น: breaking up the China-Russia-North Korea nexus that has been the source of global instability for decades.

This is a new military. One that doesn't do DEI briefings and drag shows on base. One that delivers results. Peace through strength isn't a bumper sticker.
