@JohnOfOrion @Conrguy @DigitalSamIAm Perhaps. Musk thinks differently though.

@JohnOfOrion Agreed, power should be shared. Issue is others were invited to bid on contracts. Must just came in that much lower and outcompeted everyone. Why? Companies such as Boeing and Lockheed want the cost+ structure because there is no cap. They’re happy to incur increasing costs as long as there is a plus. It’s a guaranteed source of revenue and profit. Why would you want this?

@JohnOfOrion @Conrguy @DigitalSamIAm @JohnOfOrion the way you describe SpaceX value (what would it be worth if you were to sell everything today) applies to every single publicly listed large cap company. Almost no publicly listed large cap company would ever be worth anything near the TEV its stock price implies.

Can we debunk this nonsense? Elon Musk was awarded (note: not given) cost-per-result contracts to perform a service for the US government. The total of those for SpaceX specifically is ~$22B, which includes repaid loans, state tax incentives, etc. The deal was simple: put stuff into LEO at or below a set cost. If SpaceX does it below the set cost, SpaceX keeps the difference. If it doesn’t, the company is responsible for the overrun. End result? SpaceX & Elon lowered the cost of getting 1 kg into LEO by 95-97% vs what NASA was paying previously. And for the record, every other company around at the time was offered the same opportunity to bid on the contract - Musk/SpaceX just took it. The handout narrative implies the taxpayer is the patron and SpaceX the dependent. The cost data shows the opposite: before SpaceX, NASA paid Russia’s Soyuz $80-86M per seat; SpaceX delivered at ~$55 million. SpaceX saved the US taxpayer $300M-$465M each year on that alone (the US sends 12-15 astronauts to space each year) On the lunar lander, NASA estimated SpaceX’s fixed-price bid saved $20B-$30B vs the Boeing-preferred cost-plus approach. So: SpaceX saved the US taxpayer more than the total value of contracts it earned on a single project, PLUS provided the US government with the requested services (put stuff in LEO) at the best possible price.

Elon Musk was given tens of billions in government contracts and tax breaks and was able to take a company that’s lost $41 billion and somehow become a “trillionaire.” You will pay social security your whole life and they’ll tell you it’s an “entitlement” when you try to collect

Our demands are simple: From now on no one comes in, and millions must go.

So I didn't realize this -- so mail ballots can be accepted after election day WITHOUT A POSTMARK?! Voters can "self-date." Can anyone defend that as anything other than an open invitation to corruption?

For those dismissing the possibility of fraud in CA vote, please remember that key protections we're told are built into the law turn out to be vaporous in practice: --'You need to sign it' .... A mark or slash will do. --'We check those signatures.' ... LA election workers told

The real reason they don’t want voter ID is to commit voting fraud. That is the obvious truth.

Moi qui avait 21 ans en 1981, on m’aurait dit un jour que je vivrais dans un pays ou : - on poursuit les personnes protestant contre la mort et le viol d’innocents - on engueule et on menace de poursuite des parents se plaignant que leur petit enfant a été violé - les catho et les amateurs de saucisson sont devenus les nouveaux dissidents - on harcèle des personne refusant d’aller s’injecter un produit pharmaceutique bâclé juste pour avoir le droit de vivre - on vit dans une UE qui affiche sans complexe son projet de guerre totale (la guerre c’est la paix) - un président français digne d’une république bananière manipulerait les élections voire chercherait à les suspendre pour rester en place Je ne l’aurais pas cru. J’aurais vu çà comme un film hollywoodien comme on en regardait dans les années 90.

I don't give one single shit how much money we have to print, so long as it helps us deport every single third-world immigrant inside of this country. Zero tolerance for "libertarians" and "fiscal conservatives" saying that restoring American sovereignty is "too expensive." There is NOTHING more important than getting these civilizational squatters OUT of our nation.

For those of you who don’t speak Italian, I’m going to translate just some of the headlines that I’ve read in the last 48 hours from the country that I live in, Italy: Avezzano: Sexual violence against a 16 year old, judge releases the Egyptian attacker and says “no precautionary needs were identified” Bressanone: Tunisian migrant stabs a 20 year old to steal his bike Bussolengo: Shooting, 30 year old injured, 17 year old Egyptian migrant arrested Milan: Attempted murder, kidnapping, and sexual violence against an Austrian man, three Egyptians arrested Milan, again: Gang rape of an Erasmus student, manhunt for the aggressors Milan, once again: Polish model beaten and nearly gang raped by a group of migrants in the street, saved by an Italian man. Udine: Foreign minor with covered face robs a supermarket while holding a gun Terni: Two Tunisians arrested for assaulting a man and steal his money and bike Viareggio: Violent robberies, three North Africans arrested A 50 year old Albanian man defending an elderly man mocked by North Africans, was hit with a stone and left in a coma. …….I won’t get into the politics of this. All I will say is that we absolutely do not have and cannot live this way any more. This is not the Italy we haven known and loved for years. Something has to change. Now.

Follow this account if you want facts that can gird you against the spinners and minimizers and hacks. My friend here, with whom I had a grumbly alpha-on-alpha start, is one of the best new journalists out there. I trust him. And I admire his passion and high-quality writing.

People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time. What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless. If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.

Only Americans should be electing America’s leaders. Foreign citizens who illegally vote in our elections are deportable, regardless of their immigration status. Today, I issued a directive to ICE attorneys to prioritize these cases.

Imagine the levels of propaganda it took to make you more comfortable with random beheadings and gang rapes than being called racist.

Meanwhile: Fordingbridge rapes 2026: Three boys who raped two girls (one at knifepoint, assaults filmed and shared online) walked free on community rehabilitation orders; judge said he wanted to avoid "criminalising children unnecessarily."
