I rode a tank, held a general's rank. When blitzkrieg raged, and the bodies stank.


This morning at the White House...

If I cure cancer I will get very rich. And a bunch of people on this site will apparently find my sudden wealth outrageous.



One of the worst things the progressive movement has done for society is convince large numbers of people that the success of others necessarily came at their expense. It’s bred so much resentment. And it simply isn’t true.

The denominator is worthless



The 10,000 San Franciscans who are about to become millionaires in 2026 are going to fund a new generation of art, architecture and ideas that will shape the world


There is no way to morally justify having a trillion dollars


.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense. SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world. Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere. SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity. Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help. The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist. Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives. Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation. Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears. Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction. We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.


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.





Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) says he attended “absolutely horrifying” meetings where Biden’s government vowed to take “complete control” over AI technology: “They basically said AI is going to be a game of 2 or 3 big companies working closely with the government… We’re going to protect them from competition, control them, and dictate what they do.” When Marc countered that this would be impossible—the math behind AI is taught everywhere—they responded, “During the Cold War, we classified entire areas of physics and took them out of the research community—entire branches of physics went dark and didn’t proceed. If we decide we need to, we’re going to do the same thing to the math underneath AI.” Listen to his full interview with @BariWeiss: thefp.pub/4g6Cjkx
