.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense. SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world. Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere. SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity. Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help. The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist. Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives. Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation. Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears. Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction. We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

How do you really bring rents down? You make it as easy as possible to build housing, and you understand that rent control makes people not want to build housing. Who told me this? My friend, the Law of Supply and Demand.

"Marc, why do you care about SPLC's crimes & other activists/companies/gov't agencies who may have done the same/complicit?" I sat in so many meetings for a DECADE where these groups determined who got cancelled/debanked/censored. Wholly un-American. People need to go to jail.

Promising
An overlooked, inspirational story from earlier today: At the Phillips 66 U.S. National Championships at the Texas Swimming Center in Austin, 15-year-old Michael Phelps broke a world record in the men's 200M butterfly event with a time of 1:54.92. This astounding accomplishment makes Phelps the youngest swimming world record holder and the first man to achieve under 1:55.00 in the 200M Fly.

Yes, those were the companies the administration told us they were going to kill.
"Under Joe Biden, the share of Y Combinator companies that were AI companies rose from something like 20% to 90%. So this idea the Biden admin. wasn't going to allow AI startups to exist certainly runs in the face of the evidence." @DKThomp challenges Marc Andreessen's claim.

Is this the same as @ericweinstein ‘s take on the “post WWII world order” going away because the architects of it are no longer around?

Breaking (per source) Week 18 in Buffalo was not the Jets' season finale. There is a secret 18th game planned for Sunday. It's expected to feature things fans did not see through the finale, including multiple INTs and anything remotely resembling satisfying closure

Love @amazon Prime. The service is incredible! Here’s a free tip for how to improve your service: Don’t deliver at 9:45pm on Sundays and ring the doorbell 12 times.
