🧵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.🧵

🧵Taiwan just rehearsed killing China’s invasion force — on the exact beaches where it would land. For the first time, it fired HIMARS from the western coast, simulating strikes on ships at sea, landing craft, and troops before they could consolidate. Trump is arming Taiwan to make an invasion impossible. 🧵

6/ Ukraine has shown what precision long-range fires do to a larger enemy. PrSM and HIMARS take that lesson to the Taiwan Strait. China’s exercises already treat HIMARS as a top target — because they know what it means for their amphibious assault. It can drown their army in the water.

7/ Trump is forcing Xi to count the real cost: burning landing craft, drowned armies, and mobile defenses that survive the opening barrage. This week, Taiwan rehearsed exactly that. Full analysis on my site. Link in bio.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This may be the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

The SpaceX IPO, China's Kowtow, and Trump's Iran Endgame — Rod on Fox Business Charles Payne: "Rod Martin is the first person to speak about SpaceX this way. He's one of the best when it comes to the intersection of markets and geopolitical events."

Fact Check: True. He intended it to be his legacy. No one ever gets 97% in a negotiation. But the Palestinians got it and instead of taking it started a war.
Bill Clinton: “I killed myself trying to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza and 97% of the West Bank. You name it. They turned it down.” The Palestinians never wanted peace. This must be shared every single day.

Everything we said Team Biden was doing…they were doing. All of it.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

In our in-depth coverage of the ActBlue scandal on my site (link in bio), I have repeatedly asked: how high does the fraud go? We're starting to find out.
WOAH 🚨 MASSIVE Democrats ActBlue money laundering scam uncovered Democrats are pretending to buy $200,000 houses and CREATING $200 MILLION DOLLAR MORTGAGES and then laundering the money through wire transfers This isn’t uncommon, THEY’RE FOUND ALL OVER THE NATION RAN THROUGH ACTBLUE “Magic mortgages — Let's imagine you buy a house — for $200,000 and it's funded by one of the North American banks. We'll just say Wells Fargo, please don't sue me. All the records, including the mortgage, the deed of trust, the Alta insurance policy, all of those records are recorded in the county record. Then just a few minutes later, your $200,000 house suddenly has a $200 million magic mortgage that comes through. It's nothing but a wire that goes through the title company. There's no lender involved because it's a hard money loan, what they call a cash hard money loan. But because it goes through a title company, there's no notation of who the lender is and it goes on through the system. Now what's interesting is, and this is what caught our attention, these are ActBlue officers, corporate officers. Once we found one, it led to another and, and another, and another and another. So we have them all over the nation. And this is just one small fragment of the human map. You leave this digital dust, if you will. This is one small fragment.“ This is one of the many ways Democrats launder Dark Money And to explain this in ver simple terms that makes this easy to understand, - Democrats have homes that aren’t very expensive - They take out massive loans against these homes, this happens around election cycles - Now they have tons of money for their campaigns It’s fraud

Wow. USA could have a larger population than China by 2100.
Replying to @RodDMartin
4/ Projections paint a dire picture: • Rhodium Group: annual decline widens to 7.6 million by 2035 → nearly 60 million lost in a decade (size of France). • UN: could fall as low as 663 million by 2100 • More realistic demographers like @fuxianyi put it at just ~310 million. That means the U.S. will be larger than China. And it's too late to reverse course.

🧵Calling Israel a “European colonial project” may sometimes be ignorance. But it’s a lie. Mizrahi Jews — who never lived anywhere but the Middle East for 2,500 years — are the largest group in Israel (between half and ~61%). They weren’t colonizers. They were ethnically cleansed from Arab lands in the 20th Century. The colonial myth requires erasing them. 🧵
