If Elon Musk went broke, it wouldn’t change your circumstances.
If he is a trillionaire, it won’t affect your circumstances.
Your success is up to you.

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.
And there is now a trillionaire.

I think one of the most stunning things I’m seeing. The mainstream media’s complete ignoring that the largest IPO in history is led by a woman CEO
Crickets
SpaceX president @Gwynne_Shotwell reveals over half of all 22,000 employees bought an extra $1,000,000,000 of stock in their own IPO
"We're about 22,000 strong. I'm super proud that over half of us actually bought additional stock in this opening, totalling a billion dollars"
"The thank-you go to all of you for hanging in there, for keeping a straight spine as the doubters doubt, to achieve historic things every day"

There are 2 types of people:
1. People who see a trillionaire and wonder how they can innovate and emulate such success
2. People who see a trillionaire and seethe with resentment
Do everything you can to ensure you're always around the first kind of person.

This is the shit that gets people killed.
We should live in a world where we celebrate entrepreneurship, hard work, and once-in-a-lifetime innovation.
Shame on the @globeandmail.

Eh, he'll be fine so long as he doesn't accidentally walk into your house in the middle of the night and get raped in a non-gay way
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire.
Let’s make sure he’s also the last.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

I did. It was a horrible experience.
Full of factual errors (Jesus being born in Jerusalem, horses in America before the Spanish brought them, etc.), poorly written, hundreds of "and it came to pass" and other statements making it obvious that it is the same writer in each book,tells of a group being cursed with being black, Jesus telling the Nephites he is the "Alpha and Omega" when they would never have known Greek, quoting Latin words from the King James and other Biblical passages (which were the best parts of the reading), describing places and people that do not reflect the archeological and DNA evidence at all...and that's just the highlights and doesn't include the theoligical statements that directly contradict the Bible....
It's an absolute mess.
But lastly...it promises another testament, which demonstrates it to be a different religion than Christianity. If it's just a different denomination, no new scriptures would be needed. You would never become LDS from reading the Bible alone.

Read the Book of Mormon.
Cover to cover.
Pray about it, asking sincerely to know whether it’s true (the final chapter provides specific guidance on this point).
Then tell me whether Latter-day Saints believe in Jesus Christ.
Will you accept that challenge?

I actually agree with Trump. Rare case where walk-off is appropriate. She kept interrupting, and Cali elections are a sham. It can’t be acceptable to a journo that “state and local officials said.” She should ask Gavin Newsom about how Cali counts votes.

For the record Mormons have every religious right to practice in the United States of America and I am thankful for that. Just don't call yourselves Christians, you're not.

Carrying light and peace that surpasses understanding
Steven Bartlett, host of the podcast, The Diary of a CEO, released an interview with Christian apologist, John Lennox, this week, and his closing comments to him were fascinating:
"One of the most compelling arguments for God that you've presented (and your way of seeing the world and being) is not actually necessarily anything you've written in your books or not not necessarily anything you've said. It is actually you.
You have a certain peace and contentment that I rarely see in people that I interview, but I often see, and I've almost always seen, in the Christians that I've interviewed, and this is a interesting phenomenon for me...it seems to be a trend that a lot of the Christian apologists that I've interviewed have that anchoring that so many of us are looking for."
What a great witness.
