Elon became a trillionaire so the left has released its most powerful weapon, ducktales economics. Elon's and absolute majority of the wealth is always invested in production and the economy, not hoarded.

You need government permission to braid hair in 29 US states. To arrange flowers in Louisiana. To shampoo hair in Tennessee. This cannot be filed under "safety issues". They're cartels using state power to eliminate competition and jack up prices.
Occupational licensing covered 5% of workers in 1950. Today? 30%. The Institute for Justice estimates these barriers destroy 2.85 million jobs and cost consumers $203 billion annually. Every licensed profession magically discovers why unlicensed competition threatens public safety (translation: threatens their margins).
Want to cut someone's hair without 1,500 hours of government-approved training? Criminal. Want to teach kids without an education degree from the same universities that produced our literacy crisis? Also criminal. The state doesn't protect you from bad haircuts; it protects established businesses from you.

They don’t care for the poor.
They just envy the rich.

There is *zero* tension between wealth and democracy. Wealth is a result of productive earning, and democracy is a process of deciding political power by discussion and voting by civil people. There is, however, much tension between wealth production, on the one side, and, on the other, envy, the unjust denial of respect for achievement, and the power-lust of those who want to confiscate others' earnings.

Those who celebrate @elonmusk's $1 trillion fortune need to be reminded of a simple and vital truth:
That there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy.

I'll never let the world forget about the Bibas babies.
Ariel and Kfir Bibas were both kidnapped to Gaza by Palestinian terrorists on October 7 with their mother, Shiri, and were all brutally murdered in a dark underground tunnel, simply because they are Jewish.
Remember them.

Looking forward to taking our exciting partnership with Nvidia to the next-level
Huge congratulations to the @SpaceX team on a historic IPO debut.
Fueling the next frontier of space and AI. 🌌
NVIDIA's partnership with SpaceX spans nearly a decade, from hand-delivering the world's first #NVIDIADGX-1 supercomputer in 2016 to the custom DGX Spark handoff at Starbase. Together, we've been pushing the boundaries of accelerated computing to help power the future of space exploration.

Cette vidéo est un véritable cauchemar éveillé pour l'écologiste décroissant.
Un robot qui traque la nuit les pathogènes et les nuisibles à la lumière ultraviolette, sans un gramme de produit chimique, ce n'est pas un gadget... De quoi faire s'effondrer toute la théologie écologiste. Ici, c'est bien l'entrepreneur et le marché qui offrent une solution réellement efficace aux défis environnementaux.
Pas de contrainte, pas de retour en arrière et pas de renoncement. L'entrepreneur résout le problème en créant de l'abondance là où l'on nous promettait la pénurie. Le rôle du progrès a toujours été celui-là : produire de l'abondance à partir de la rareté naturelle avec comme moyen ultime l'ingéniosité humaine.
Reste alors une question : si la technologie résout réellement les problèmes que l'écologisme prétend combattre, pourquoi l'écologisme la déteste-t-il à ce point ?
Tout simplement parce que ce qu'il veut, ce n'est pas une nature préservée, c'est une société administrée, dont il serait aux manettes. Comme toutes les autres idéologies constructivistes, socialistes et collectivistes, ce qui importe vraiment à l'écologiste ce n'est pas de résoudre les défis de son temps, c'est de régner sur les hommes de son temps.
Le héros sera toujours l'entrepreneur, jamais celui qui le déteste.

Pure hell in Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk region.
russians dropped 12 KAB glide bombs on a market. A fucking market.
A Saturday morning — people just coming out to sell what they have.
Just a regular, everyday market… gone in an instant.

The war took many things from me.
But it also gave me something unexpected:
Friends I never knew I would have.
Thank you for every message,
Every kind word,
And every bit of support.
It means more than you know💙💛🤗

This is Afghanistan under Taliban rule.
A young girl sobs and begs not to be sold, but her father sells her anyway — just to pay off his debts.
This is modern-day slavery. Pure horror.
Where are the women’s rights organizations?
Where are the human rights activists?
Nowhere to be found.
Shame. Hypocrisy. Cowardice.

Starship is a very big rocket

SpaceX is a company whose mission is *axiomatically* the love of humanity
To extend the light of consciousness
The power of this kind of love is hard to quantify but clearly makes the impossible far more probable.

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.
