The people who created 40 Trillion in debt are angry that Elon Musk created 1 Trillion in wealth.

Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record. You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary. Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

I’ll take the trillionaire visionary who creates wealth for tens of millions of people, over the millionaire politicians who loot that wealth for themselves.

😂. Great post. The guvment is great at taking and spending our money. What they’re not good at, at all, is solving problems.
So the $7 trillion of our money that that the government took and spent last year solved every problem seven times over? I think that would’ve made the news.

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. 🚀

Scott Jennings nailed the liberal meltdown over Elon Musk, becoming the world’s first trillionaire: “All day long, I’ve been listening to liberals count and spend Elon’s money for him. This envy, jealousy, hatred of success. Why is it immoral? Why is it wrong for somebody in our system… to build companies, build technologies, go into space, aim to put a colony on Mars, give internet to half the world?” The outrage isn’t about “fairness”, it’s envy dressed up as virtue. Success that creates jobs, technology, and real progress threatens a worldview built on grievance and zero-sum thinking. Elon Musk is the shining example of immigration done right. A legal immigrant who came to America, worked relentlessly, took enormous risks, and built companies that deliver massive value to humanity. Not by taking from others, but by creating wealth that didn’t exist before. Success isn’t a crime. It’s the American Dream in action. Congratulations, @elonmusk, well earned. Keep building. 🚀

Dear People Visiting the U.S. for the World Cup: Much ado has been made about Freddy from Germany and other visitors from Europe, Asia and elsewhere delighting in quintessential American chain dining establishments such as Buc-ees and Texas Roadhouse. Please allow me to make ten other American chain dining recommendations: 1. Go to Krispy Kreme and get a dozen Original Glazed donuts when the neon “HOT” sign is turned on in the window. 2. Go to Jersey Mike’s and order a #2 for an authentic Jersey Shore experience (“Tramps like us, baby we were born to run”), or get a #17 for an authentic South Philly experience ("Yo, Adrian!”). 3. Go to Chick-fil-A and get an Original Chicken Sandwich with Waffle Fries and a lemonade. (Don’t go on Sunday, they are closed so everybody can go to Church.) 4. Go to the Cheesecake Factory and order whatever you want, it’s the biggest menu you will ever see anywhere. They have everything. I’m not exaggerating, the menu is SOOO many pages. And get a slice of cheesecake—it’s the most decadent cheesecake imaginable, and all the many flavors are great. 5. Olive Garden. It’s not real Italian food, it’s some Americanized version of quasi-Italian food. Go for the endless breadsticks and salad. 6. Taco Bell. Order the Crunchwrap Supreme. Best at 1 a.m. while drunk. (Don’t drink and drive though—American police frown on that.) 7. Chain burger joints are contentious even here in America. Some are mostly regional: Shake Shack, Smash Burger, In-n-Out Burger, Five Guys (those are all great). Probably the best chain burger you can find everywhere in the USA is Wendy’s. Try the Pretzel Baconator with fries and a Coke. 8. Go to Dairy Queen and order a Blizzard. (It’s a dessert, get whatever flavor strikes your fancy. It’s a lot of calories.) 9. Breakfast? McDonald’s. Yeah I know you probably have McDonald’s back in your home country but there is something about a McDonald’s drive thru off an interstate highway that is quintessentially American. Egg McMuffin, hash browns and a coffee (tell them if you want cream and/or sugar, they will add it for you). 10. Buffalo Wild Wings. All the games will be on the many televisions. Get the bone-in wings with the Original Buffalo Sauce. I’m pretty sure you’ll get a lot of recommendations from other folks on this post. Thanks for enjoying our country. We love that you love it. Safe travels, CP

Conclusion: So when they say "defend democracy," now you know what they mean: Defend liberal institutional control... cosmopolitanism, supranational authority, "modernity"... over what your elected leader can do. Not elections. Not your vote. Not the Constitution. Their values. Their definitions. Their rules about what counts as "democratic." They redefined the word. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. The resistance. The lawfare. The protests. The "guardrails." The overseas playbook aimed at your country. It's not a conspiracy. They told you. On camera. At Brookings, NED, the German Marshall Fund, Harvard, and the New York Times' own forum. They just assumed you wouldn't look up what "democracy" means to them. Now you know. THREAD END.

"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball...... But the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball, just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence. I got a double. When I got to second, Satchel told the third baseman: 'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.' Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle, and I hear the third baseman say: 'There he is.' Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me. I walk halfway to home plate and he says: 'Little boy.' I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect. He walked halfway to home plate and said: 'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you. I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down' and I'm saying in my mind: 'I DOOON'T THINK SOOOOOO. If he threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere. I turned to the catcher and asked: “What does he mean?” Catcher told me: “He’s going to throw you three fast balls. Nothing else.” He threw me two fastballs and I just swung..... I swung right through it..... And the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said: 'Go sit down.' This is while the ball was in the air. Yes, he struck me out with three pitches. He was just magnificent." 17 year old Willie Mays facing Satchel Paige for the first time.

The people who want the government to decide who should and should not be wealthy will always put themselves on the "should" list.

We have Democrats nominating an actual DEI Nazi to the Senate. We have Act Blue funding Democrat campaigns with foreign money. And we have a Democrat Governor covering up election fraud in California. But please continue to say that Trump is the problem. Oh yeah, and don’t forget the terrorist sympathizer they nominated in NJ. Total freaks.

This is the real reason crime is down in Los Angeles Samantha lives in LA and has had to call 911 for the police four times Call 1: A homeless person was trying to break into her apartment building. She was outside of her building while it was happening. She called 911, “I was placed on hold for about 10 minutes, and then they told me that since the person was homeless, they would not be sending the cops out, that they would try to get like homeless intervention people out, and it would take no less than an hour” This was no help Call 2: This one's really messed up. She watched a 80 year old man “get the sh*t beat out of him” by like a 20 year old. “Like bad, repeatedly, and this kid had his phone out the whole time, was recording it, like beat the shit out of this old, old, old man in the middle of the street, in the middle of Sunset Boulevard. This old man is like lying there bleeding everywhere, and I called the police and nobody came.” Call 3: Her car was being broken into and someone was attention to steal it. “I waited on hold for 40 minutes before someone picked up and said, "Oh, you have to do that online." She was told how to categorize the incident. They told her wrong and it her police report was rejected. She called back and they said “There’s nothing they can do” and “nothing will be done” Call 4: “A tweaker was loitering and tweaking outside my apartment for hours and eventually trying to break into it” After he was in the process of trying to break in she called 911 and after 3 hours nobody showed but but they called back to check on her. The man was gone, the cops didn’t help Crime rates aren’t down in Los Angeles. Residents are just no longer reporting them because this is the response We see this over and over again

Sending ballots in the mail to people who moved out of California years ago is corrupt. Sending ballots in the mail to people who didn’t request one is corrupt. Sending ballots in the mail to every address someone has lived in for the past 10 years is corrupt. Letting activists sign up mentally unstable people for a ballot by using phony addresses is corrupt. Not letting third party law enforcement officials check the voter rolls is corrupt. Letting one political party control the entire process for decades leads to corruption.

You have two cows... USA: You have two cows. You outsource a farm to milk them and sell the milk to those who can afford it. You then use the profit to buy someone else's cow for your butcher to make steak with. Russia: You have two cows. When you get sober you remember that the mafia took them away from you, so you actually have none. Ukraine: You have two cows. One of them feeds on American grass, the other feeds on Russian grass. North Korea: You have two cows. Its name is Kim Jong Un. France: You have two cows. You kill them, throw away everything except the filet mignon, and make cheese with the leftover Pasteurized milk. Syria: You have two cows. They have been fighting for as long as you remember, but it is hard to remember anyway, because you are in Sweden. Sweden: You have two cows. You offer them to the government, who gives everybody milk. UK: You have two cows. After a lengthy court battle, the bovines hold a referendum and are separated. Turkey: You have two cows.

You convince an old American woman to invest in them, but pocket the money and run. Japan: You have two cows. They are replaced by two 3d hologram cows and put in a zoo. Italy: You have two cows. The northern one produces all the milk. The southern one sleeps all day. Brazil: You have two cows. But not for long, because one shoots the other dead. Thailand: You have two cows. One of them was born a bull. Vatican City: You have two cows. They were both taken advantage of as calves. Kazakhstan: You have two cows. They are both better cows than cows from Uzbekistan, who have bones in their brain. Uzbekistan: You have two cows. They are probably less bored than you. Saudi Arabia: You have two cows. Because they are not allowed to be around bulls. Switzerland: You have two cows. Neither belong to you. South Africa: You have two cows. The one with more white patches has more privileges. Iran: You have two cows. When the US finds out, they impose sanctions on you on charges of running an illicit methane-powered missile program. Canada: You have two cows. But who cares about beef when you've got Poutine. Jamaica: You have two cows. They win 25 gold medals at the Bovine Olympics. Australia: You have two cows. Upon further inspection, you realize that one is a koala, the other a kangaroo. Israel: You have two cows. You expand their farmland every year. Iceland: You have two cows. They freeze to death. Greenland: You have two cows. They are in for a surprise. Finland: You have two cows. They are more likely than your entire country to commit a crime. Denmark: You have two cows. They have more rights than you. Alaska: You have two cows. Their combined IQ is higher than that of your most popular governor. Cote d'Ivoire: You have two cows. You rename your country Cote Leathoir. Zimbabwe: You have two cows. They both vote for Mugabe. Botswana: You have two cows. But that's not surprising because you have pretty much every type of non-extinct mammal in your country. China: You have two cows. You post their pics all over social media, then sell people fake milk. Germany: You have two cows. One lives in Deutchsland, the other lives in Germany. You still can't tell them apart. El Salvador: You have two cows. They are less likely to get cut open than you. Chad: You have two cows. They will probably outlive you. Qatar: You have two cows. They each have a maid. Kuwait: You have two cows. They each have a diamond-studded mercedes-benz. Nauru: You have two cows. They probably weigh less than you. Sudan: You have two cows. The southern one ran away because it contains more beef. Yugoslavia: You have two cows. They die right after giving birth to 20 new cows. Papua New Guinea: You have two cows. One eats the other. India: You have two cows. You create a new country to banish all your people who might eat them. USSR: You have two cows. But you wish this was not the case, because in Soviet Russia, cow milk you. Bonus: Southern USA: You have two cows. Their milkshake brings all the bulls to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours. Damn right, it's better than yours; they can teach you, though there is a charge; but if you repost, then you won't be charged!

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration. More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
