If he’d hired Elon to build his high-speed rail project, it would have been finished by now, instead of moldering, unbuilt, as a symbol of government incompetence and waste
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE. When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted. The system is rigged.

“Let’s make sure we get no more PayPals, Teslas, SpaceXs, Neuralinks, Starlinks . . .” Just illiterate, destructive, sclerotic nonsense.
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire. Let’s make sure he’s also the last.

The first trillionaire in human history - Elon Musk - Born in South Africa - Bullied relentlessly as a kid - Immigrated to North America - Arrived with a backpack and a dream - Built Zip2 with his brother - Sold it 4 years later for $300 million - Co-founded PayPal with the profits - Revolutionised digital payments - Sold PayPal to eBay for $1.5 billion - Bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX - Got mocked for electric cars - Got laughed at for reusable rockets - Nearly went bankrupt in 2008 - Kept building anyway - Turned Tesla into the world’s most valuable automaker - Made EVs mainstream and transformed the automotive industry - Made reusable rockets a reality - Reduced the cost of reaching space by 95% - Sparked the modern commercial space race - Built Starlink and connected millions around the world to high-speed internet - Turned SpaceX into the most valuable private company in history - Bought Twitter for $44 billion - The world said he overpaid - He was called reckless, stupid & crazy - Advertisers fled, media declared it dead - Critics called it the worst acquisition in tech history - Renamed it 𝕏 - Rebuilt the platform anyway - Turned it into one of the most influential platforms on Earth - Launched xAI and accelerated the global AI race - Sent astronauts to space - Is trying to get humans to mars - Created millions of jobs - Generated hundreds of billions in value - Inspired an entire generation of builders Before: - Failed repeatedly - Worked insane hours - Slept in factories and offices - Got bullied, laughed at and mocked - Constantly told “it’s impossible” - Kept building anyway - Made it possible Today: - Richest person on Earth - First trillionaire in human history - Largest IPO in history $1.77 trillion Most people quit when the world laughs at them.

Jasmine Crocket apparently thinks it’s not so bad to be murdered if someone is only stabbed once and stabbed with a relatively short knife. Karmelo Anthony is the black Left’s equivalent of Luigi Mangione, a sympathetic murderer whose heinous act is excused because the victim is guilty of a status offense (in this case, being white) and the system is supposedly corrupt and illegitimate. x.com/tmz/status/20647808739…

Jasmine Crockett tells @jacob_wass there was one major factor in the Karmelo Anthony verdict.

As it turns out, the standard established during the Me Too era is, at least today, conditional on the answer to one question: Can the accused deliver more power to the Democrats?  If so, then never mind. Me @NRO nationalreview.com/2026/06/d…

NR’s editorial on Blanche nomination: “Congress has a constitutional obligation to rein in executive abuses of power — as it did in pushing back against the ‘Anti-Weaponization’ slush fund. The arsenal the Framers provided to the Senate for this purpose includes the power to refuse to confirm the president’s appointees until the president ceases and desists in abusing his authority. The Senate is, moreover, duty-bound to do what it can to ensure that the Justice Department, created by Congress, fulfills its constitutional and statutory obligation to enforce the law evenhandedly, without fear, favor, or political bias. It can’t fulfill this duty and also lend its imprimatur to Blanche’s dubious handiwork as Trump’s ideal AG.” nationalreview.com/2026/06/n…

Why is the @washingtonpost so committed to this stupid lie? Here’s an actual before and after from @EarthCam:
The Reflecting Pool on the National Mall has been refilled following President Trump’s renovations. The project ultimately took six weeks and cost more than $10 million, far more than Trump initially projected. wapo.st/4uspV4H

Of all the things to object to about Trump, his obsession with beautifying Washington, D.C. shouldn’t be on the list Just admit it looks better, and move on

The Democrats' activist base has concluded that integrity is a weakness, all that matters is resistance politics and power. Which is why they're doubling down on Graham Platner. @AmericaNewsroom

I've kept it somewhat on the down low for a few weeks, but I'm pleased now to fully announce that I'm the editor of Searchlight, the opinion and policy initiative of @CitizensUnionNY, a venerable home for civic education and voter engagement in New York. Our debut "issue" features policy contributions from candidates in key congressional and statewide races. Check out what we're up to: searchlight.citizensunion.or…

We've seen a lot of unimpressive Senate candidates, corrupt Senate candidates, and unfaithful Senate candidates over the years, but Platner is something new and different--a shockingly twisted Senate candidate, like something out of Quentin Tarantino movie, truly dark and disturbing x.com/magi_jay/status/206435…

There is a clear parallel between Platner musing about raping intruders to show dominance and Platner arguing that urinating on dead corpses was okay because, "god forbid you show a little dominance." It's pathological. A pattern. More will come out.

Everyone knows that a two-state solution would involve an Arab-only Palestine alongside a multiethnic Israel with a sizable Arab minority with full citizenship. Yet we're supposed to believe that Israel is the racist apartheid ethnostate. As ever, hatred of Israel is subrational.

He doesn't just contradict himself. He flat out denies saying things he's said on his own show and in prior interviews, as if we can't watch the videos ourselves and see what a fraud he is. It's well beyond parody at this point.
Tucker Carlson contradicts himself for 3 mins straight.
