This is a fake comparison.
SpaceX did not “lift America out of poverty.”
It created paper millionaires for people close enough to the equity structure.
That is not the same thing.
An IPO or liquidity event can absolutely make employees rich. Good for them. But that proves ownership works for people who are allowed into the ownership pool. It does not prove the economic system works for everyone else.
SpaceX’s value was not created in a vacuum by Elon handing out magic capitalism dust. It rests on NASA contracts, defense spending, public research, launch infrastructure, regulatory protection, tax law, capital markets, public procurement, engineers, technicians, welders, logistics workers, and years of investor tolerance.
So when someone says, “SpaceX created thousands of millionaires,” the honest translation is:
A public-private, state-backed, capital-market-driven company had a massive equity event, and people close to the cap table became rich.
Fine.
But that is not a rebuttal to Warren.
Warren’s job is not to mint millionaires through stock options. Her political argument is about wages, consumer protection, bankruptcy rules, health care costs, student debt, corporate power, taxation, and whether ordinary workers get a fair deal.
Saying “Elon created millionaires and Warren did not” is like saying a casino jackpot did more for one gambler than food stamps did for a hungry family.
It confuses concentrated upside with broad public welfare.
The real question is not whether 4,000 or 5,000 SpaceX insiders became millionaires.
The question is why America treats that as a civilization-level achievement while millions of workers still cannot afford housing, health care, child care, retirement, or a few months without a paycheck.
That is the propaganda move.
Turn rare proximity to capital into proof that the system works.
Then tell everyone outside the cap table to applaud.

SpaceX alone just created over 5,000 millionaires while you have lifted zero people out of poverty or created zero millionaires (besides yourself)

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

One unexpected, seemingly unrelated thing I've learned with all of this agentic coding stuff: TERMINAL apps can be CRAZY powerful. Panes and mouse support and resizing and animations and the rest. HOLY COW!
FWIW: Jake has been adding some little bits to pub.dev/documentation/cli_ut…

Fun fact for the $10 billion lawsuit crowd.
The IRS leak that exposed Donald Trump’s tax returns happened between August 2019 and November 2020.
405,427 other taxpayer returns were also leaked.
Trump was president. His own pick, Charles Rettig, ran the IRS. The contractor who did it, Charles Littlejohn, worked on a Trump-era IRS contract and is now serving five years in federal prison.
On January 29, 2026, Trump sued the IRS and Treasury for $10 billion over a breach that happened on his watch, under his commissioner, by a contractor his administration paid.
He is suing the federal government he ran, for failing to stop a leak that occurred while he was running it.
The taxpayer foots the bill either way.

Flutter 3.44 marks a massive milestone for the Material and Cupertino libraries.
These libraries have been frozen, representing the final set of updates to these libraries within the core framework before they transition to standalone packages 🐛🦋

There are over 1.5 MILLION developers building with Flutter every month 🤯🎉
That’s over 50% growth from a little over a year ago. It's been incredible to continue to see the Flutter community grow!
ALT Large black text on a white background reads "1.5 million Monthly active users". Small gray text at the bottom center states the source is "Google internal data, 2026".

If you're using Flutter, and at Google I/O, I'd love to talk! I'll be there again all day tomorrow, and in the audience for both Flutter talks. Come say hi! 👋

Wow. Yeah. This.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.
