The wake up call is for you, Senator.
You have spent 30 years in government. Name one thing you built. One product, one service, one system that works. You can't. Your entire career consists of redistributing value created by others, and lecturing the people who create it.
Elon built reusable rockets for less than what Washington spends in 3 hours. The government you represent spends $7 trillion a year and can't balance a budget, fix a border, or build a train. He did 100 times more with 100 times less.
A trillionaire who earned it by serving billions of customers is not a problem. A bureaucrat who never created a dollar of value deciding how value should be allocated, that's the problem.
The era of the builder is here. You can keep tweeting from the back seat of your government car, or you can step aside and watch.
History remembers the people who build. It footnotes the ones who taxed them.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.
