This is the hardest thing I try to do in my life, but the only thing, that really matters: Trying to sail the ship, which is our family, through today’s sea of insanity while keeping our values, minds and hearts sane - to enable our kids to be strong captains on their own ships in the future.

That’s all the difference in the world

Venezuela used to be much wealthier than Poland, which was suffering under socialism. Then Poland implemented free-market and capitalist principles and enjoyed an economic boom. Venezuela chose socialism, which brought poverty and misery to its people. That’s the difference.

The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy. No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.

Yara is a brave Druze from Sweida. Her family — like many Druze families — is under siege. They have no internet, electricity, water, or safety. She’s calling on Syrians to break the silence. I'm calling on the world to finally use its voice for a true humanitarian cause.

BREAKING: Czechia bans communism. The new law criminalizes the promotion of communist ideology, creating or supporting communist movements as well as using communist symbols in public. People breaking the law risk up to 5 years in prison.

Milton Friedman explains why you should prefer freedom over fairness. “Fairness” means someone else is deciding for you what is “fair.” “Freedom” means that YOU get to make that decision.

This clip perfectly encapsulates why Tesla has the investor base it has, and why Elon continues to Elon. From @PeterDiamandis pod with @PalmerLuckey.

Grok 4 is the first time, in my experience, that an AI has been able to solve difficult, real-world engineering questions where the answers cannot be found anywhere on the Internet or in books. And it will get much better.
