@elonmusk What's different from then vs now?

True

You killed his immediate family - his elderly parents, wife and kids, what type of response are you expecting from him?

Yea right ... To an idiot, it sounds like a “job description” because you clowns have reduced marriage to a negotiation of convenience rather than a Covenant of Purpose. Scripture says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord” (Proverbs 18:22). A “good thing” is not accidental, it is cultivated, intentional, and, yes, often sacrificial; and certainly not the one-sided partnership you modern vicious females frame it. You call it a job; others recognize it as stewardship. The same Bible also says, “Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established” (Proverbs 24:3). What you’re seeing listed are not duties imposed, but disciplines embraced, expressions of wisdom that sustain peace, order, and honor within a home...you should try it, even though, we know majority of you vicious females lack the capacity for such expression of wisdom. And before you evil lots mistake submission for servitude, remember: “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God” (Ephesians 5:21). The emphasis is mutual, but the expressions may differ. Not everything that looks structured is oppressive. Some things are simply the quiet architecture of a life built on intention rather than impulse. But I understand, what feels like devotion to another, will most certainly feel like a burden an idiots.

@TgCafe This sounds more like a job description than a partnership.

Things I do since I got married: I stay put-together and quietly sexy at all times. I ask for permission before taking any step, no matter how insignificant it may seem. I prepare his meals early. I prepare him for a bath and lay out the clothes he will wear before he is done bathing. I do his laundry. I maintain a clean and presentable appearance at all times. I make sure the house is always tidy and organized. I plan ahead so our daily routines run smoothly. I check in on his needs and make sure he is comfortable. I manage small household errands and responsibilities efficiently. I create a peaceful and welcoming home environment. I support him with reminders for important tasks or schedules. I ensure things are in place before he gets back home. I take care of myself so I can always show up well in my role.

@elonmusk Elon and violence = two peas in the 'same' pod.

We still don’t know what kind of ice cream Reid Hoffman told Epstein he was “bringing for the girls”. I guess some things will always remain a mystery 🤷‍♂️

Power is easy to show. Wisdom is knowing when to step back. The world is listening to Donald Trump right now, but what really matters is where this leads to. War narratives are easy to declare and regurgitate, but history only honors those who end them wisely. At some point, it has to be less about proving strength and more about choosing peace, progress and prosperity. That’s what people are hoping for.

Good to be back! 😎 Looking good 👍🏽

@_10delta_ What an interesting perspective.

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February. Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance. The oil thesis was the obvious layer. However, when you zoom out & view the last four years as a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander US plan becomes visible. 1st was Europe, which laid the groundwork. The Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40. Then Nordstream was destroyed, which rewired the entire European energy system permanently. The US went from supplying 28% of Europe's LNG in 2021 to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million MTs, the 1st country in history to break 100 MT. Europe was transformed from a customer with options into a captive market now purchasing its survival in USD. 2nd was Syria. The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt & Road Initiative to the Mediterranean. The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq & Syria, designed to bypass Western maritime chokepoints, was completely destroyed. This isolated Iran geographically & cleared the path for what came next. 3rd was Venezuela. In January the US effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves. The US Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth, specifically built for heavy sour crude. Phillips 66, Valero & the rest are now positioned to process hundreds of thousands of barrels of Venezuelan crude daily. The US captured a massive strategic reserve & solidified its position as the dominant exporter of refined petroleum products, an industry worth $110 billion in 2025 alone. Venezuela & Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system. Both produce heavy crude sold primarily to China & evaded US financial supervision. Both now being neutralized within 90 days, which leads us to.. 4th is Iran & the Middle East energy shock. Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir. Iran retaliated against Qatar's Ras Laffan, the single largest LNG facility on earth, responsible for a fifth of global supply. QatarEnergy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone and recovery will take up to 5 years. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. European gas prices spiked 70%. Asian spot prices doubled. The only remaining scaled supplier? The United States. If Iran falls & a successor government is installed that the US controls or influences (the Delcy model described weeks ago) then roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of global production out of 103 million is effectively under US control. OPEC becomes irrelevant because the US coalition is now the marginal producer. Now add the gas dimension & it goes beyond oil. This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They're now locked into the US energy system. The market confirms this. DXY went from 96 to 101. Gold down ~20% from its January all time high. Bitcoin down 20% on the year. Brent above $100. European & Asian institutions are liquidating precious metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply. The world is selling its gold to buy American energy in American currency. The dollar is now being weaponized through energy dependency. The structural repricing is happening regardless of how the conflict resolves. But the US grand strategy goes deeper.. Artificial intelligence is a physical industry. It runs on power and chips. Data centers require massive uninterrupted baseload electricity, primarily provided by natural gas. Semiconductor fabrication requires helium & rare earths. By choking the Strait of Hormuz & crippling Middle Eastern LNG & helium production, the US is systematically degrading China's ability to power its data centers & fabricate semiconductors at scale. The US is energy self sufficient, especially with newly captured Venezuelan reserves & expanding Gulf Coast capacity running on domestic gas. On the other hand, China is import dependent & every joule it imports effectively now transits chokepoints the US Navy controls.. Iran was the Belt & Road's overland energy bypass, the corridor that allowed China to mitigate the Malacca Trap. With Iran neutralized that corridor is severed. China faces a world where its compute infrastructure competes for scraps on a depleted global LNG market, while American data centers run at full capacity on domestic energy. Russia is next in the sequence. A post-war Iran reopening under US influence competes directly with Russia for the same refineries in China & India at lower cost. Iran's production costs are lower. Russia loses its last structural advantage in heavy crude & its economic lifeline. Additionally, under the Iran war cover, Ukraine has been opportunistically destroying Russian energy infrastructure & all signs point towards Russia being at the end of the line. The message from Washington becomes very simple: we dismantled two regimes in three months, your economy is about to get crushed, sign the Ukraine deal. Then Trump sits down with Xi holding every card. Complete energy dominance. The hybrid petro/LNG-dollar fortified, Iran cleared, Russia cornered, & China facing the Malacca Trap fully closed with no remaining energy bypass. Israel & the GCC are absorbing the kinetic cost of a conflict whose primary beneficiary, counter to the mainstream narrative, is actually America (First). Qatar offline for 5 years reprices the entire global gas market in favor of US exporters for the remainder of the decade. The Gulf states face years of rebuilding. Europe faces its 2nd energy crisis in four years. Sure, the average American might face temporary moderate inflation & higher gas prices. But if you are the architect of the US empire & you view the rise of China & Chinese ASI as an existential winner takes all scenario, the collateral damage is acceptable cost. Whoever controls the energy corridors controls the monetary system. Whoever controls the monetary system & the energy supply simultaneously controls the compute infrastructure that determines which civilization builds ASI first. The US is seizing all 3.

Hey @Grok Is this true? What ulterior motives does Saudi Arabia have to push President Donald Trump to continue war against Iran??

India’s call for de-escalation makes sense for India's economic sustainability... When that route is at risk, everyone feels it, especially fast-growing economies like India. This isn’t just diplomacy. It’s about stability, energy, and positioning in a tense moment. And, the world truly need this energy stability now... there's no point subjecting millions of people around the world to massive shortage and hardship because some old men wants to play war games. @grok Which country is the most beneficiaries of this US-Isreal War against Iran?

@DiscussingFilm Hello @grok, Care to explain this? What alternative and reliable options are available??

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video slop-making platform Sora.

So, we went from “obliterate power plants” to “productive conversations” within 48 hours? That tells you everything. The whole story in a nutshell... "Five days doesn’t change the reality, it only delays it." When President Donald Trump moves from threats to “productive conversations,” it signals one thing: 'pressure met absolute resistance'. Now, comes the real test...whether this is diplomacy or just strategy catching its breath. History has seen pauses like this before. They either prevent wars, or just the pause before full escalation.

Donald Trump threatening to “obliterate power plants” over the Strait of Hormuz isn’t strength at all; he’s exposing how quickly power turns into desperation when control begins to slip. And, that’s how global crises start over a 'previously' manageable situation. In the Gulf, power plants = water. Water = survival. Threaten power plants, simply means threatening water supplies, hospitals, survival itself. In the Gulf, desalination isn’t infrastructure. It is life support. The Strait of Hormuz is not a chess piece you flip in anger and throwing tantrums like a child. It is the pressure valve of the global economy. Tamper with it recklessly, and the explosion won’t stay regional. Because once lines like this are crossed, there is no such thing as a “controlled response.” Only chain reactions. Only consequences. Only escalation that answers itself. Threats like these does not reflect dominance. It's teetering on escalation with no off-ramp. You don’t escalate like this unless you’re ready for consequences you can’t control. And history shows… nobody ever is.

So, let me get this straight… Israel went from “we’ve got the most advanced defense systems on Earth” to “hello UN? Yes… can you come outside real quick?” Iran really said: “Don’t worry, we’ll help you remember where the United Nations headquarters is.” 😭 Ah. Nothing humbles power faster than reality showing up uninvited. Iran didn’t just send a message, they delivered a reminder: Invincibility is a story nations tell themselves… right before they start dialing the UN.

Oh please, will you… This panic is becoming theatrical. First, Iran didn’t “suddenly unlock magic range.” What we’re seeing is a demonstration of capability under war conditions, not some comic-book revelation. Even Western assessments have long placed parts of its arsenal in the ~2,000–3,000 km range class, with ongoing development beyond that. Second, that Diego Garcia strike everyone is screaming about? One missile failed, another was challenged by interception systems, hardly the flawless apocalypse being fantasized. And this “ZERO defence” hysteria? Utter nonsense. The UK doesn’t rely on a single magical shield, it operates within a layered NATO ecosystem namely: Aegis, SM-3, Patriot, radar networks, forward deployments. Imperfect? Yes. Non-existent? Don’t insult your own intelligence. What’s actually happening is far more uncomfortable: You’re watching the collapse of assumed military asymmetry. For decades, the West operated on the belief that distance equals safety. Now adversaries are proving something simpler: Reach is catching up. So no, this isn’t about Iran “lying.” It’s about people finally realizing they were never as untouchable as they thought. And that realization? That’s what’s really “very worrying” to a people that have been living in delulu...

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

Current report says, over 20 countries are now actively engaging Iran around the future of the Strait of Hormuz, not out of alignment with Iran, but out of necessity as the world’s most critical energy choke-point faces disruption. With nearly 20% of global oil flows passing through this corridor, the ongoing conflict and partial closure have already triggered supply shocks, price spikes, and emergency rerouting of energy exports. Now, Iran is reportedly exploring a bold shift, linking access through Hormuz to non-dollar trade, particularly the Chinese yuan. If this materializes, it won’t just be about oil logistics, it could challenge the decades-old petrodollar system and accelerate the fragmentation of the global financial order. What we are witnessing is not just a regional standoff, but the early signs of a multipolar economic reset, where energy security, currency dominance, and geopolitical power are being renegotiated in real time. Seems Iran is maximising this opportunity to anchor the formation of a new global equation that is driven less by alignment, and more by survival, leverage, and shifting power blocs.

Iran reportedly struck Diego Garcia which is approximately 2,361 miles (3,800 km) from Tehran. Let that sink in. Diego Garcia was never supposed to be within reach of Iran at least, not according to the official narrative. Yet here we are. Surprise isn’t the story. Capability is. Now consider the broader geometry: Tehran → London: 2,750 miles (4,425 km) Tehran → Paris: 2,610 miles (4,200 km) Tehran → Berlin: 2,200 miles (3,540 km) Tehran → Madrid: 3,300 miles (5,310 km) Tehran → Rome: 2,150 miles (3,460 km) In plain terms: If Diego Garcia is within range, then large parts of Europe have always been within theoretical reach. This isn’t just about “Iran lied.” It’s more about strategic ambiguity meeting technological maturity. What this really signals: Iran is no longer just a regional missile power, it is operating at the threshold of intercontinental capability, reshaping deterrence calculations across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Range is no longer the constraint. Intent, doctrine, and escalation control now matter more. For context, here’s the current long-range missile club (5,000+ km): 🇷🇺 Russia — up to 18,000 km (RS-28 Sarmat) 🇺🇸 United States — up to 13,000 km (Trident II D5) 🇨🇳 China — up to 15,000 km (DF-41) 🇫🇷 France — up to 10,000 km (M51) 🇬🇧 United Kingdom — up to 12,000 km (Trident II D5) 🇮🇳 India — up to 8,000 km (Agni-V) 🇮🇱 Israel — up to ~11,500 km (Jericho III) 🇰🇵 North Korea — 15,000+ km (Hwasong-17/18) Bottom line: The world didn’t just wake up to a missile launch. It woke up to a shift in the balance of reach. And once reach is proven, distance stops being a defense.

So 22 nations gather, draft a polished statement, and suddenly believe the Strait will obey their paperwork. Interesting how “international law” suddenly finds its voice after the fire has already been lit, and the results of such actions are being felt by the world that never wanted this war. Where was this sacred rulebook when a sovereign nation was first struck? Where were the joint statements, the urgent condemnations, the coordinated outrage? Silence then. Symphony now. You don’t command choke-points with signatures, you command them with leverage. And right now, the one thing missing from all these statements is control over what actually moves through that corridor. You talk about “freedom of navigation” like it’s a moral right. In reality, it’s a privilege enforced by power, and power is now being contested in real time with all manner of fireworks. Sanctions didn’t break Iran. Isolation didn’t weaken it. Pressure refined it, into a player willing to turn geography into a weapon the entire world depends on. You call for de-escalation. Of course you do. Because escalation becomes expensive when your economies are wired to a single artery you don’t fully control. Strategic reserves, emergency meetings, coordinated statements are not solutions. They are symptoms of a system realizing, too late, how fragile it really is. In all these, no unified stand on the spark... You don’t get to ignore the spark and then sermonize about the flames. This isn’t the defense of order. It’s the selective enforcement of it; law when convenient, silence when profitable, outrage when interests are threatened. The Strait of Hormuz was never just a passage. It was always a pressure point. And now, it’s being pressed.
