Nope. Woke up this morning giddy. I'm thinking I might see warp drive as a reality before I assume room temperature...
Do you have an issue with Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire?

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. (academia) Those who can't teach, supervise. (government) Choose wisely.
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. Elon Musk built the future instead. Love him or hate him… Nobody has changed more industries in a single lifetime. Payments. Cars. Energy. Space. Social Media. Communications. AI. History won’t remember the people who said it couldn’t be done. It will remember the people who did it anyway. Congratulations Elon. The first trillionaire. 🚀

Imagine if Elon Musk had a global platform that anyone could use for free to bitch about Elon Musk not doing something with his money that would benefit others......
Imagine if Elon Musk did something to benefit others with his trillion.

Hello Senator.... This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say . "Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary." That is quite an achievement. In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress. It has been a long time since you held a private sector job. AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot. During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike. And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector. You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged. But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are. We would never know otherwise.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. While working people struggle to get by, the billionaire class is becoming the TRILLIONAIRE class. It's disgusting. I'm fighting to tax the rich so we stop rewarding trading stocks over punching clocks.

Math is hard, huh.
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American. And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars! You don't think that's worth it?
Community note
5% of $1.2T is $60b. 8m students in BA/BS programs on average pay over $20k/yr, or ~$160b/yr for BA/BS degrees only. That tax could not cover even half of only US bachelor degree costs for just 1 year, excluding grad, ass., or trade degrees totaling another ~10m students. nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/i… bestcolleges.com/research/colle…

Dear @grok, Q: Is there any way to instill a will to lead in a sitting US Senator? A: (abbreviated) It's extremely difficult to genuinely "instill" a will to lead in a sitting US Senator, as this trait is deeply tied to personality, personal ambition, incentives, and life experiences. Cornyn is a perfect example.
Dear @grok, Is it true that the parliamentarian has no binding power & only plays an advisory role? Is it also true that the Vice President has the authority to overrule the parliamentarian?

Share this if you believe our politicians should stop blaming everyone else but themselves for the fucking mess they have created. Share this if you think politicians are responsible for dumping dangerous unvetted migrant third world savages into our communities. Share this if you think politicians should stop celebrating 'cultural enrichment' when migrants bring with them incompatible, alien, anti-western, anti-white sentiments with them. Share this if you think politicians put the best interests of illegal immigrants before British people. Share this if you understand the anger that is rampant within our society, because those who are supposed to represent us continually betray us. Share this if you think politicians only serve their own interests, not the interests of the people they are supposed to represent. Share this if you're sick and tired of the political status quo? I know I am.

"Blacktivists" can't fundraise without outrage. One has only to look at the testimony taking place in DC with the investigation of the SPLC. They're funded using laundered NGO money that came out of your pocket. There's only one side of the aisle trying to expose and stop it. We're at a seminal point in western culture. Choose wisely because your progeny will be the ones paying the price.
As both a Frisco resident and Attorney: If you are surprised by the Karmelo Anthony verdict or confused by it, please revisit the news sources you trust and consume. We are often misled and tricked by the media. It feels like it has become part of their job to rile us up. To create emotional response. To divide us by political association, race, gender, orientation, etc. because it turns into clicks and more consumption of their content. Look past these sources if they speak more about how you should feel about the “news” and not present the “news” as facts of what happened. Find the facts yourself by looking at multiple sources. Listen to the testimony and review the evidence. Make your own objective conclusions. For example, the facts (in response to common misinformation) include: 1) The jury included numerous minorities, including Asian, Hispanic, and Middle-Eastern people; 2) Anthony’s attorney was a private, hired lawyer, not a public defender; 3) It was and is an unwritten rule that you are only permitted under a team tent if you are part of the team/school; 4) Anthony was not part of the team/school yet went and sat in the tent anyway; 5) Eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified Anthony was told to leave the tent multiple times and he verbally refused; 6) Multiple eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified that Karmelo was never surrounded/ganged up/jumped in that tent; 7) Multiple eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified Anthony put his hand inside his backpack as though he was planning to retrieve a weapon during the verbal altercation; 8) The eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, in the tent testified they jokingly said that they didn’t believe he had anything in the bag because he was in Frisco, Texas; 9) Eyewitnesses said AM told Anthony to leave or he would kick his a**; 10) Eyewitnesses testified that during the verbal exchange, Anthony said “touch me and find out.” 11) Eyewitnesses testified AM went over and pushed him to make him leave the tent. 12) Eyewitnesses testified AM did not punch Anthony or make any attempt to cause serious injury to him; 13) Anthony immediately pulled his knife and stabbed AM in the chest; 14) Anthony then threw the weapon into the stands and ran; 15) Anthony admitted the stabbing to the police; 16) Even the defense’s witnesses said Anthony was in the wrong. You are free to make your own opinions about the case. But before jumping to conclusions, at least know the facts.

Talarico thinks we've all forgotten about how he LED a bill in the Texas House to try to kill the oil and gas industry in Texas. Conveniently, now he's changed his tune. There's nothing he won't say or do for power. EVERYTHING about that man is a FRAUD!!

Short read, brilliant take.
This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."
