If Trump continues to go after Elon Musk....I would rather deal with the woke shit than this real estate agent mentality of 47.

Misc says

Did not. 'X' still bans users, blocks content deemed unsuitable and censors people left and right that go against the narrative.

X is not perfect...but others are worse.

I've also gnoticed that those who claim "Debt, debt, debt" are implacably opposed to Tariffs. Apparently $100B in new tax revenue just over the past few months won't contribute to balancing the budget.

When economic zone utopianism comes crashing down

Elon is perhaps the best example of what happens when you raise someone without identity. Born in South Africa, moved to Canada as a teen, then finally the US as an adult

When you don't have a community of your own to grow up in you trend towards universalism, that there's no in-group vs. out-group, just the world and all its equal peoples. The Far-Left is full of social rejects who want international communism for this exact reason

People born and raised among their own with a strong community don't operate this way

So when Elon hires for his companies he just sees 8 billion completely interchangeable humans to choose from, nothing separates them except for their performance merit

Except the world doesn't work that way. Chinese people are loyal to China. Indians are loyal to India. Mexicans are loyal to Mexico, etc.

Whites are the only exception to this rule, and this must change because we're playing at a handicap. China would never let a White American steal their companies secrets

For a genuine autist like Elon there's no way to learn these lessons other than the hard way, with luck he'll do a complete 180 on immigration over this.

"To summarize the woke mind virus, It consists of creating very, very divisive identity politics. It actually amplifies racism, it amplifies, frankly, sexism and all the -isms. While claiming to do the opposite, it actually divides people and makes them hate each other, and it makes people hate themselves. And it's also anti-meritocratic. It's not merit-based. You want to have people succeed based on how hard they work and their talents, not who they are. Whether they're a man, woman, what race or gender. It's an artificial mental civil war that’s created. And let me tell you, it's no fun, okay? Woke mind virus and fun are incompatible. There's no fun in that. No joy. The woke mind virus is all about condemning people instead of celebrating people. You know, like when in the work, it just doesn't celebrate. It's all about condemning and being divisive and I think it's just evil, frankly."

Good for him. Dude works hard and plays hard.

Kudos for Musk for busting the Uncensored.ai network, which was gaming the X platform.

For all the preaching about having many kids he doesn't seem to be all that interested in actually raising them. I work only a 9-5 job and have only 3 kids and this doesn't leave much time for daily partying.

“Anyone on the 𝕏 system knows that things are posted, and then there are replies and there are rebuttals, and it's immediately corrected. But where are the corrections for the legacy media? Some broadcast media say false things all the time, but it's a one-way street. There's no rebuttal, there's no counter.” The Steele dossier was completely fabricated by a lawyer at Perkins Coie who was paid by the Clinton campaign. Literally. And still people think the Russia hoax is real.” - Elon Musk

“Pretty much all the social media companies and Google and everyone are controlled by far-left activists. That's the truth of it. How do you know what's real when it's all filtered through a far-left, San Francisco-Berkeley lens? They just manipulate the truth constantly.” - Elon Musk, Town Hall meeting in Philadelphia, October 18, 2024

“Being aware of inequities in society is fine, of course, but trying to make everything a race issue is, I think, divisive and corrosive to society.” - Elon Musk

Engineering is signal, management is noise - NASA, Elon Musk, 2005

The NGOs get paid close to a million dollars for each drug zombie they “manage”. Their incentive is therefore massive to keep the narcotics dealers operating, otherwise their herd of drug zombies will leave. You may have noticed how easily the drug zombies were removed from SF when President Xi came to town. Doesn’t it seem odd that there were literally zero drug zombies in SF when he visited? Zero. - Elon Musk, October 11, 2025

"We need 200 Elon Musks. Elon represents the best of what we do as Americans, better than anybody in the world, which is entrepreneurialism. And the fact that he's catching these rockets using these chopsticks, he’s incredible at everything he does. We need 200 Elon Musks. I'm the biggest proponent of his and everything that he stands for. This place, this country needs Elon Musk. This world needs Elon Musk. The Western civilization certainly needs him. They also need a Donald Trump. And I think those guys are a formidable team and I think they have massive admiration and respect for one another.” - Eric Trump, October 9, 2025

"Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time. People pay into Social Security, and the money goes out of Social Security immediately, but the obligation for Social Security is your entire retirement career. If you look at the future obligations of Social Security, it far exceeds the tax revenue. The actual national debt is like double what people think it is because of the future obligations. People are living way longer than expected, and there are fewer babies being born, so you have more people who are retired that live for a long time and get retirement payments. At the risk of being a buzzkill, however bad the financial situation is right now for the federal government, it will be much worse in the future.” - The Joe Rogan Experience, February 28, 2025

Social Security is safer than any alternative.

Next step: monetized accounts can only go to a bank account in the same country with the same phone the account was registered in.

That'll at least annoy (but not totally prevent) a lot of Hassans and Baht Bots.

"If the president cannot get things implemented as a reflection of the will of the people, then what we have is not a democracy, but a bureaucracy." - Elon Musk

Attorney General of Arkansas commented that the Chinese are conducting the massage parlor operations to destroy social fabric of American society.

“The Dems will not even deport criminals. Because every criminal deported is a lost vote. So, even if somebody is illegal with a criminal record and commits a crime in America, they are still not being deported.” - Elon Musk, The Joe Rogan Podcast, February 28, 2025

“These lovely small towns in England, Scotland, Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits, frankly. In fact, JRR Tolkien based the hobbits on people he knew in small-town England because they were just like lovely people who liked to smoke their pipes and have nice meals, and everything's pleasant. The hobbits in the Shire.

He was talking about places like Hertfordshire, like the Shire is around in the Greater London area – Oxfordshire type of thing.

But the reason they've been able to enjoy the Shire is because hard men have protected them from the dangers of the world. But, since they have almost no exposure to the dangers of the world, they don't realize that they're there, until one day, a thousand people show up in your village of 500 out of nowhere and start raping the kids.

This has now happened God knows how many times in Britain.”

Here's my take. Tesla is going toilet (sales waaay down and not looking at going up anytime soon). So, Musk asks for an outrageous compensation package of $1 trillion. If he doesn't get it, he "RAGE" quits and Tesla's massive share price drop isn't because of him. -- I like it.

Now it's the only social-media platform where people actually PAY for the privilege of being shadowbanned.

Are you in a short position? Shorts have gotten absolutely crushed this year.

The Tesla Model Y was the best selling car in Europe last month. Not best selling EV, but best selling car overall.

The EV market has certainly been transformed now that the subsidies have expired at the end of Q3, but Tesla is the only EV maker that can make GOOD EV's at a profit without government subsidies. All of the other OEM's are in much worse position and have decades of debt and pension liabilities that will be a boat anchor for the foreseeable future.

Also, the latest version of Full Self Driving (Supervised) is extraordinary. No other OEM is even close to Tesla in terms of autonomy.

Tesla stock has been a steady rise from about $300 to about $450 in the last 3 months:

No short position. I sold my gold at $3300 per ounce. Got to see it go up an extra $1k per ounce. When I sold it, I thought I had made a ton Lets you know how good of a trader I am. Sold my rental properties back in 2021 made a bunch. I figured the rental market was gonna go South the way Trump voided being able to evict non-payers. I figured that kind of thinking would spread Property prices have gone up since then, The moratoriums lasted quite a while in Cali. I think they are gonna come back into vogue during the next downturn. Everything is priced extremely high by historical standards...sure the everything Bubble can pop. Mostly in Treasuries now, I think buy and hold is for suckers,
