Over many years, I have admired the Pakistani people: generous, resilient, compassionate & steadfast in the face of immense challenges.
I am deeply honoured by Pakistan’s recognition today of the work of @UN.
I am grateful & accept this award on behalf of the women & men of the United Nations – serving around the world & here in Pakistan.

NEW: UAP whistleblower David Grusch tells Joe Rogan he has seen recent video of dead, human-looking beings at a crash retrieval site, describing them as "very, very beautiful" with pale, bluish-white skin.
ROGAN: How do you know that for sure?
GRUSCH: I got to see the audiovisual on that.
ROGAN: You got to see what?
GRUSCH: I've got to be a little vague only because I want to protect the sources, because it may indicate a specific activity or operation. And these people were very patriotic, and they were just dead cadavers on the ground because it was a retrieval activity.
ROGAN: You saw them physically, or you saw video of them?
GRUSCH: Video.
ROGAN: So they filmed the crash, and they filmed these cadavers.
GRUSCH: Yeah.
ROGAN: How old is this footage?
GRUSCH: I don't want to say. It's contemporary. But I don't want to reveal a particular operation because it narrows it down.
ROGAN: But it's clear. It's not like you're looking at 1950s black and white.
GRUSCH: Yeah, it's clear... I was very allergic to any kind of deception... I sat on that stuff for like years until I felt comfortable with that not being some sort of limited hangout or deception activity.
ROGAN: What did it look like?
GRUSCH: Human-looking.
ROGAN: How human?
GRUSCH: Looked similar to a human. Very, very beautiful.
ROGAN: What color was the skin?
GRUSCH: Bluish white.
ROGAN: Like Avatar?
GRUSCH: No, no, no. Like someone who drowned. Like a pale sort of albino.
GRUSCH: General McCasland, when he was talking to [Tom] DeLonge, and this is public record... he always told Tom, "Think of the Greek gods." And now I kind of understand what he meant.

🚨 THIS IS GOING TO BREAK THE INTERNET!
Elon Musk just dropped Neuralink's craziest bombshell:
“In the next 6 to 12 months, we're going to implant the first vision devices. Even if you're 100% blind from birth, we're going to write directly to your visual cortex… and you're going to see.”
“And that's just the beginning. In the long term, you'll have ultra-HD resolution and real superpowers: you'll see in infrared, ultraviolet, and even radar. Literally like a superhero.”
The future is no longer science fiction. It's Neuralink.

Most people don’t realize the significance of this moment.
This isn’t just “more satellites.”
For years Starlink has been good enough to get you online in the middle of nowhere.
Today is the start of it becoming fast enough, cheap enough, and big enough to actually replace the old internet in a lot of places.
These new V3 satellites can each push about 1 Tbps down and 160 Gbps up — roughly 10× the download and 22× the upload of the ones already flying.
This single launch dropped 26 of them, adding about 26 Tbps of capacity in one shot, around 10× what a typical Falcon 9 Starlink mission adds.
That’s the jump: from “good satellite internet” to enough bandwidth for millions more people, faster speeds, and lower lag.
It also means Starship is no longer just a test rocket. It’s now the truck that can build the internet from space at scale.
That’s why this matters: not a cool launch photo. The moment space internet stops being a backup and starts becoming the real thing.

I set a camera really close to the launch pad to get this shot. It was a sound activated trigger since it wasn’t safe for me to stand here.
That’s all 33 Raptor engines performing nominally as Starship heads to orbit for the first time.

This relationship is really something to watch. President Trump has personally told me before that he credits Asim Munir with stopping the India-Pakistan war and saving “300,000 lives” (something he not-often does,) and Islamabad in return consistently credits him for it.
.@CMShehbaz: "It's thanks to President Donald Trump's resolute and visionary leadership that hundreds of millions of lives in South Asia were saved. His timely intervention came at a decisive juncture, when two nuclear-armed neighbors stood at the brink of an all-out war — and who knows the extent of devastation that could've taken place had President Trump not stepped in at this critical moment with clarity of thought and action."

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.
