Rothmus - I’ve thought about that before. Read on: x.com/jsfry007/status/199334…

This is the best insight of the day.

At this point, if Elon Musk bought enough land to create a society that’s run by a truth seeking AI that has parameters to advance humanity - then I would prefer that to all the left leaning politicians of the world who demonize success and simply want to buy votes through virtue signaling. Seriously a truth seeking AI would be better than most politicians.

Warren’s politics: envy dressed up as virtue. We all know ‘comparison is the thief of joy.’ Her Musk-bashing comparisons hide real success: real median household income has roughly doubled since the 1960s/70s (now ~$83,700) while poverty has halved. (from ~19-22% to 10.6% today). Innovators like Musk create jobs & lift everyone—Makers, not takers. Warren couldn’t be more wrong or misleading. #makernottaker @elonmusk @SenWarren Don’t let politicians get away with simplistic, extreme comparisons. Not only is it the thief of joy, it’s also no way to run the biggest, most innovative large economy in the world. We deserve better representation.

You've got to admire the Labour Government for their persistence. When they tried digital id "so we can make address benefit fraud" last year, everyone saw right through that. Now they came up with the chess 'skewer' type move saying 'hey we'll protect children'....check mate - digital ID. I see through that too. Parents can parent. Parents can set screentime limits.

The greatest fear is fear itself. Or another way - the greatest risk is not to take risk.

And as if to completely prove my point - here’s a UK person pontificating on how they could tax just Elon Musk and why taxing wealth is the right thing to do. They don’t know about wealth creation and are on a spiral to the bottom. Read on: x.com/jsfry007/status/206649…

I’m amused at UK politicians expressing disdain that a citizen of a foreign country can amass great wealth. The virtue signaling is strong. But if politicians like @ZackPolanski are outraged they should take encouragement from Forbes data that shows the UK has fewer billionaires than many countries. Billionaires Per Capita (Pop >10M, Forbes 2026) Country | Pop | Billionaires | Per Million ------------|---------|--------------|------------ Sweden | 10.6M | 50 | 4.7 US | 349M | 989 | 2.83 Germany | 84M | 212 | 2.52 Canada | 41M | 82 | 2.0 Australia | 27M | 55 | 2.0 Italy | 59M | 89-96 | 1.5-1.6 Russia | 144M | 147 | 1.02 Spain | 48M | ~43 | ~0.9 UK | 70M | 56-58 | 0.80-0.83 France | 67M | 51 | 0.76 Don’t you think it’s interesting that Sweden - which abolished its wealth tax now creates and encourages business success. The UK’s tax and regulate first approach reveals itself in these numbers. You don’t realize that with successful entrepreneurs comes job creation and wealth creation for many. So Zach - your hypothetical problem of too many UK billionaires is becoming more and more hypothetical each day. @LewisHamilton who recently shared his concerns about wealth inequality, the homeless of Los Angeles, and limiting wealth to $1bn is worth an estimated $500m and chooses to be domiciled in Monaco. Wealthy people leave, build businesses elsewhere, pay taxes elsewhere. The cause is the structural burden of taxes and regulation in the UK. Most politicians are too blinded by ‘social justice’ to realize they are killing the country’s success. They are simpletons who rely on soundbites and vote buying. They aren’t the data driven leaders we need who treat political office as calling to grow the economy and uplift its citizens through wealth creation. Instead the UK is burdened by politicians who’ve never run a business and who seek to prop up an ever growing social welfare system.@DanielPriestley @LoftusSteve

Exactly right. The left will never stop using income inequality as their key way to stir outrage. The reality is, in the UK and the US, many existing programs are wasteful and often not measured in clear results. More is not the answer. x.com/jsfry007/status/206623… @LoftusSteve @DanielPriestley

The political class who use @elonmusk wealth as the example of 'inequality' comparing it to homelessness actually have no interest in solving homelessness. The numbers CA put into homelessness achieved nothing as acknowledged by their state auditor. Over $40,000 per individual per year. You can't tell me any one of us reading this couldn't fix it for less than that price. If they did fix it - they wouldn't have their worse case to use in their simplistic, perpetual attempts to buy votes. Their track record of solving it to date at huge expense is 1 click away for all to see. They don't want you to see it! x.com/jsfry007/status/206621…

😂

You should quit worrying about what rich people do with their money and more concerned about what the crooks in D.C. are doing with yours. If you actually think that our tax dollars are being used correctly, then you are too stupid to partake in society.

The anti-@elonmusk crowd is hilarious. Ro Khanna: $250M Gavin Newsom: $30M Elizabeth Warren: $12M Bernie Sanders: $5M 3 houses They’re attacking a guy who built companies that changed transportation, space exploration, communications, and AI. The hypocrisy isn’t subtle. It’s the entire point. 🚀🇺🇸

$11 trillion of government, state and local spending per year isn’t enough for Ed.
