OMG… the Tesla Roadster just went upside down on a half pipe and landed!

President Trump just honored Elon with the National Medal of Science, America’s HIGHEST honor for scientists and engineers. Building one company that changes an entire industry would be the achievement of a lifetime. What gets me about Elon is how many completely different fields he’s taken on, how much of that work is already part of our lives, and what it has meant for America. Any one of these companies would be an incredible story on its own. Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles last quarter alone. Add that to its previously reported total, and lifetime deliveries are now above 10 million worldwide. Nearly half a million electric vehicles in three months, from a company that helped make people take electric cars seriously. I drive a Tesla every day, and even I have to remind myself not to take that for granted. Tesla alone would already be a remarkable life’s work. SpaceX still blows my mind. They launch rocket boosters, bring them back, and fly them again. We see it so often now that it almost feels normal. Meanwhile, after the Space Shuttle retired, America went nearly nine years without launching astronauts to orbit from its own soil. SpaceX and NASA brought that capability back in 2020. American astronauts, on an American rocket, launching from America again. That contribution alone deserves enormous respect. And his team kept going... on September 28, Starship, the largest rocket ever built, reached orbit and deployed 26 next-generation Starlink satellites. I follow this stuff every day, but I never want to become so used to these milestones that I stop appreciating how much work it takes to make them happen. Then there’s Starlink, which had already reached 12 million subscribers by the end of June. It’s bringing internet to places where these options barely existed, while connecting people on planes and ships around the world. For someone who’s always had a reliable connection, that might sound like a convenience. For someone who’s spent years without one, being able to work, learn, have access to AI, or stay in touch with family can make a life-changing difference. I also talk to Grok in my Cybertruck, and somehow that has become a normal part of my day. Sometimes I have to stop and think about that sentence. I’m having a conversation with AI inside the electric truck that drives me autonomously every day, and Elon built the companies behind both. Then you look at Neuralink. People living with paralysis are already using its devices in clinical trials to control computers with their thoughts. Think about what that means for someone who can’t use their hands. Something most of us do without a second thought can be a huge step toward getting some independence back. That matters so much to these people.. just imagine if your loved one was one of those people. Of course, none of this happens without extraordinary teams. The engineers, scientists, factory workers, and everyone doing the work deserve their credit. Recognizing Elon doesn’t take anything away from them. Finding talented people, getting them to take on problems this difficult, and staying committed through the failures is a huge part of being a great builder and leader. That’s what I think about when I see him receive this medal. Take away the stock prices and the arguments online, and look at what these companies have actually built. Look at how many people use these things, how many lives they touch, and how much they’ve helped America lead. I don’t know how you look at all of that and treat it as ordinary, let alone hate on and bet against this guy. We’re watching who I believe to be THE greatest builder and entrepreneur we've ever seen, and I’m glad America is recognizing him while he’s still out there building. We don’t need to wait for a history book to appreciate what’s happening right in front of us. Elon 100% deserves this... congrats bro!
