So let me get this straight. Liberals and Democrats wasted two years time investigating Musk and found that he saved the government money because he used the same bodyguards he always used and the government didn’t have to pay for it or use actual federal agents for his detail. Finding nothing, they complain that his security detail isn’t federal law enforcement. Then NBC reports on this nothing burger and repeatedly notes in the article the irrelevant fact that Musk is a billionaire. Meanwhile NBC ignores the California governor’s race where Eric Swalwell’s billionaire buddy Stephen Cloobeck is sending him on vacations oversees costing tens of thousands of dollars and siphoning huge amounts of money to political action groups to support Swalwell’s campaign while Cloobeck is dating a penthouse pet and paid escort Adva Lavie who is currently facing criminal charges because she allegedly robbed rich people’s houses when they brought her home for the alleged rendezvous. And Swalwell has been spending huge amounts of time at Cloobeck’s palatial estate worth $26 million so he can film political ads. Can NBC deputize someone to investigate Swalwell and his billionaire buddy?

@MollinatorMom @NBCNews Done far more in what respect? Broken more laws with respect to market manipulation? Donated more $ to elect a candidate than anyone in history? Killed hundreds of thousands of people to save us no money with the dumbest “department” to ever exist? I’ll grant you he’s #1 in those

Members of Elon Musk’s private security team were deputized as federal agents last year even though some of the billionaire’s guards lacked the required training and law enforcement experience, according to newly released government emails. nbcnews.com/tech/elon-musk…

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

For the record. Markets again misread Trump’s Iran speech by taking him literally. Old rule: take Trump seriously not literally. Should be applied today. His “Stone Age” threats are leverage, not a base‑case plan. With core objectives “nearly complete” and a China trip looming, his true aim is a headline deal and victory narrative, not open‑ended escalation. Have a nice day.

@DrJStrategy Markets didn’t misread anything. What markets finally realized is that Trump has no idea what he’s doing, and they are pricing in the uncertainty.

Food for thought. Markets again misread Trump’s Iran speech by taking him literally, not seriously. His “Stone Age” threats are leverage, not a base‑case plan. If credit markets truly believed him, the 10‑year Treasury yield would be well north of 4.5%; it sits closer to 4.37%. Objectives have essentially been achieved, so given the TDS saturating Wall Street and the media, last night’s emotional overreaction should surprise no one.

🚨 BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi just announced the DOJ has released ALL Epstein Files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, has justified redactions and listed high-profile names that appear in the files "No records were withheld or redacted 'on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.'" Epstein has backfired on the left. Multiple powerful Democrats have been exposed and Trump has been VINDICATED.

Elon Musk’s Plan to reach a Kardashev Type II Civilization 1. Move AI off Earth and into space AI needs massive power and cooling. Earth cannot scale this without damaging the environment and society. Space has constant sunlight, natural cooling, and unlimited room. Long term, AI can only scale in space. 2. Use Starship to build orbital AI data centers Using Starship, millions of tons of hardware can be launched every year. SpaceX will deploy huge constellations of satellites that act as solar powered data centers in orbit, generating enormous AI compute with very low operating costs. 3. Make space the cheapest place to run AI Each year, orbital data centers add hundreds of gigawatts of AI compute. Within a few years, training AI in space becomes cheaper than on Earth, unlocking rapid advances in science, engineering, and technology. 4. Expand manufacturing to the Moon Starship enables permanent Moon bases. Factories on the Moon use local resources to build satellites and launch them into deep space far more efficiently than from Earth. 5. Harness the Sun at civilization scale By placing massive AI satellite systems throughout space, humanity begins capturing a meaningful fraction of the Sun’s energy. This marks the transition toward a Kardashev Type II civilization and funds expansion to Mars and beyond.
