I've said to critics that I am the genuinely very moderate option and that if they reject the message that I am sending, they are really not going to like what comes next after me. I say with no particular delight that they are going to regret testing that hypothesis.

This is the only way.

This alone was worth $1 trillion.

I don't need to check: I'm pretty sure Elon is richer than me.

So why am I lashing out at the AMA, an organization I was a proud member of and worked very hard for when I was at JAMA? The X-world will learn, as I release documents regarding my litigation against them for firing me for what has been determined by the appropriate agencies as a 'civil rights violation.' You can use your imagination what that means in the context of their being all-in with DEI at the time. They claimed that I denied the existence of racism in medicine - the exact opposite of what I said in a podcast the AMA edited and published after review by my supervisor. I had no control of that process. The courts agreed with my claim of libel and defamation, a decision the AMA appealed and lost in a unanimous decision. Along the way the courts described the AMA as disingenuous. An organization that holds itself out as representing Americas Physicians to policy makers should not engage in libel and if they do, they should be disqualified from representing us. You have not heard much recently because the AMA asked the courts to keep the proceeding secret-They do not want the physician community to learn how they do business. However, the closed nature of the documentation is over, and I'll be able to share what I learned during the proceedings. It's not pretty and it shows how the AMA actually functions. This is not what I wanted in life. I am an academic surgeon. I have no interest in politics. But the AMA destroyed my career and reputation for capricious reasons. I cannot let that stand. The AMA needs to be held accountable, no matter how wealthy they are compared to me.

I agree with Ro Khanna. Ignoring, of course, that the only waythe government gets money is from confiscating it from folks like Elon Musk.

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the rest aren’t dumb enough to actually think Elon Musk has a trillion dollars in cash waiting to be taxed. They just think their followers are dumb enough to think that. And they are.

the democrats take your money on promises of trains and housing, and blow it on war, welfare, and fraudulent NGOs. they’ve never once improved your life. you’re mad. they know you’re mad. so they’re blaming the guy landing rocket ships. that’s basically the terrain right now.

I’d be tempted to just say “BS” since it’s probably some 22 year old trustafarian lying, but his/her replies are dumb enough that it might be real.

Can you imagine how stupid the students in their classes have to be for the woke faculty of the University of California to beg the UC Academic Senate to bring the SAT back?

According to Corruption Watch, South Africa went from being one of the least corrupt countries in the world in 1995, ranking alongside Belgium and Japan, to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, ranking alongside Cuba and Kazakhstan in 2026.

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years. 1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state. 2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state. 3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens. However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".

It’s difficult to articulate the extent to which Somalian immigrants are a *unique* problem. Other immigrant groups may not always have stellar outcomes, but there are almost none who as persistently have the absolute worst outcomes in every country they move to as Somalians.

🚨 Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Howard University, wrote an article in which she blamed Austin Metcalf – and his family – for Karmelo Anthony's decision to murder him. Titled "Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries," the article argues that Jeff Metcalf failed to teach Austin that "black children have boundaries." In other words, Jeff should have taught Austin that black people will try to kill you if you ask them to stop violating social norms. While Patton falls short of outright defending Karmelo's decision, the entire purpose of the piece is to rationalize his behavior. Kind of like "Sure Karmelo shouldn't have stabbed him, but it was Austin's fault at the end of the day." She writes, "We have to talk about Austin's decision to approach and confront." As if Austin didn't have the right to tell someone from another school to leave his school's tent. As if somehow that minor confrontation justifies stabbing him in the heart. It is complete insanity. Patton ties Austin's behavior to "a long cultural tradition of policing black bodies and space." Right. Patton's Substack has nearly 50k followers. He has 300k followers on Facebook. She is an accomplished professor and journalist. The article received thousands of likes. We've all seen the low-class black people causing a scene outside of the courthouse. But it appears that even many educated blacks believe that people of their race have the right to murder anyone who asks them to stop playing music in public, respect physical boundaries, and so on. "Let us do what we want or we'll kill you" appears to be the message being broadcast by a sizable share of the black community. You don't have to be a far-right radical to recognize the many unsettling implications this holds for the future of American race relations.

I didn't think it was possible to get this hyped by a concession speech. Make sure you watch all the way through, there are some kickers about 2/3 in!

Almost never have had more contempt for Democrats than I do today. Watching their naked envy makes my skin crawl.

Such contempt for these guys performatively saying "SpaceX is overvalued." Chakrabarti is not too dumb to understand markets. If he thinks its overvalued, he can make lots of money by shorting it or if he's more risk averse, buying way out-of-the-money long-dated puts.
