ELON: IRRATIONAL REGULATIONS ARE AN INVISIBLE TAX ON HUMANITY “You really can think of the United States and many countries – it's arguably worse in the EU – as being like Gulliver, tied down by a million little strings. Any one given regulation is not that bad, but you've got millions of them. Eventually, you just can't get anything done. This is a massive tax on the consumer, on the people. It's just that they don't realize that there's this massive tax in the form of irrational regulations. I'll give you a recent example that is just insane. SpaceX was fined by the EPA [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] $140,000 for, they claimed, dumping potable water on the ground, drinking water. This is at Starbase, and we're like, we're in a tropical thunderstorm region. That stuff comes from the sky all the time. You know, it was just water to cool the launch pad during liftoff. And there's zero harm done. And they agree: Yes, there's zero harm done. We're like, okay, so there's no harm done, and you want us to pay a $140,000 fine? Yes, because you didn't have a permit. We didn't know there was a permit needed for zero-harm, fresh water being on the ground in a place where fresh water falls from the sky all the time. I mean, sometimes it rains so much the roads are flooded. So we're like, how does this make any sense? And they were like, we're not going to process any more of your applications for Starship launch unless you pay this $140,000. They just ransomed us. And we're like, okay, so we paid $140,000. At this rate, we're never going to get to Mars.” Source: The All-In Podcast, September 2024

ELON: I ADVISE LEADERS OF THE WORLD TO JUST POST THEIR OWN STUFF “I do post a lot on the 𝕏 platform, sometimes 100 times a day. So, once in a while, I'll do something dumb, for sure. But I really try to say things that I think are interesting or funny. There must be some reason why 169 million people follow me. I must be keeping them amused in some way, amuse, entertain, have opinions on something. Sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they're right. Community Notes applies to me as well as it applies to anyone else. If I say something that's incorrect or not full-context, then Community Notes will correct me very quickly. But it's only me doing these posts, ever. I don't have a team or anything. In fact, I generally would recommend for leaders of the world to just literally post your own stuff. And once in a while, you make a mistake. Don't worry about it, can't win them all. Nobody bats a thousand.” Source: European Jewish Association, January 2024

🚨🇬🇧UK POLICE FAILED TO TRACK CRIMINAL ETHNICITY FOR FEAR OF BEING LABELED "RACIST" The number of crimes with "unknown" ethnicity for offenders has exploded, with cases like child sex offenses jumping from 12% in 2010 to nearly 30% in 2024. Robbery? A staggering 44% now missing this info. Critics call it a “cover-up,” saying authorities are too scared of being labeled racist. Others say it’s just bad record-keeping. Either way, it’s fueling mistrust in the justice system. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper isn’t having it—she’s told police to sort it out. Time to stop hiding behind the data gaps and start being honest. Source: GB News

ELON: ALMOST ALL INTELLIGENCE WILL BE DIGITAL “AI might be the most important question of all. The percentage of intelligence that is biological grows smaller with each passing month. Eventually, the percentage of intelligence that is biological will be less than 1%. We just, I guess, don't want AI that is brittle. If the AI is somehow brittle, silicon circuit boards don't do well just out in the elements, so I think biological intelligence can serve as a backstop, as a buffer of intelligence. But almost all, as a percentage, almost all intelligence will be digital.” Source: Milken Institute, May 2024

ELON: WE’RE LIVING IN THE MOST INTERESTING TIME IN HISTORY “Sometimes, it's easy to get down about some day-to-day event or political stuff or whatever. But in the grand scheme of things, we are living in the most interesting time in history. And that's pretty cool.” Source: Interview @theXtakeover with @teslaownersSV , July 2024

LARRY ELLISON: YOU’RE SAYING ELON’S AN IDIOT. THE GUY’S LANDING ROCKETS! WHO ARE YOU!? “Elon doesn't know what he's doing, he'll have to go out for money, I'm really smart, I work for the Wall Street Journal ... Who are you? This guy's landing rockets. You know, he's landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean. And you're saying he doesn't know what he's doing? You ever land a rocket? You're telling me he's an idiot. I just want to know who you are so I know why I should believe you, as opposed to my friend Elon? And we're out here watching this rocket land, which I think is really cool, and you're there in front of your Apple Macintosh and typing up an article saying, Elon's an idiot.” Source: Oracle Open World, October 2018

BILL ACKMAN: I LOVE X! IT'S THE NEW MEDIA "It's the voice of the people! It's not the curated voices of an owner of a media publication. Media really has has not been about, 'let's just get to the objective truth.' Rather, 'let's shape the public's views about an issue to advance whatever my agenda is.' While there are certain people on [X] doing precisely the same thing, it's an open kind of playing field." Source: @Erin_Molan, @BillAckman

🚨🇺🇸LA MAYOR KAREN BASS ACCUSED OF "LEGALIZED CORRUPTION" She is facing intense backlash over a string of explosive scandals as wildfires ravage the city. Bass’ ties to corruption run deep. From pay-to-play donations to controversial allies, her leadership is being called into question. The allegations include endorsing a former councilor investigated over hush money payments for Congress, awarding a fat cat salary to a pal, and having council members accused of embezzlement, perjury, racketeering, tax evasion and bribes She’s been accused of turning LA’s Department of Water and Power into a slush fund, awarding its CEO a staggering $750K salary - nearly double the previous pay - while broken hydrants failed during the fires. As photos emerge of her sipping cocktails in Ghana while LA burned, many wonder if she’s lost control of a city drowning in scandals and flames. Source: NY Post

🚨🇺🇸 THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT: HOW BIDEN'S HANDLERS RAN AMERICA While Democrats rage against Elon's "unelected influence" for exposing wasteful spending, a recent bombshell report reveals an unprecedented usurpation of executive power: Biden's presidency has been largely run by proxies, with cabinet members rarely gaining direct access to their commander-in-chief. Even Treasury Secretary Yellen – traditionally one of the most important cabinet positions – was kept at arm's length, forced to communicate through intermediaries. Defense Secretary Austin's regular briefings became increasingly rare, even as wars erupted in Ukraine and Gaza. Cabinet members stopped requesting presidential access altogether, knowing such requests would be denied. This wasn't mere delegation – it was institutional coverup. Where Obama actively engaged with his cabinet to debate policy, Biden's team created an impenetrable barrier of handlers who issued top-down directives with little presidential involvement. Yet when Elon used X's transparency to trim a 1,547-page spending bill to 118 pages, these same Democrats decried his "shadow" influence. The hypocrisy is staggering – Washington would rather have unelected staffers secretly running the executive branch than face public scrutiny of its bloated spending. The message is clear: the establishment will protect its own while fighting those who dare to lift the veil.

Remember the days, before X, before Biden, when the media fairly covered @elonmusk ’s achievements? As X users began to replace legacy media, they started turning against Elon Was heartbreaking to see corruption and bias in action all these years

🚨 𝕏MAIL: STREAMLINING YOUR INBOX Picture this: an email address that feeds straight into a clean, DM-style inbox, ditching the tangled mess of threads and formatting disasters we’ve all grown to hate. 𝕏mail would keep what’s great about email—universal compatibility—and scraps the rest. No extra apps. No endless contact lists. Just simple, seamless communication. Because honestly, why are we still suffering through email like it’s 1999? Elon: “That’s exactly what we are going to do.” Source: 𝕏

VIVEK: INVISIBLE TAXES ARE BIDEN'S LEGACY Vivek calls out the economic policies he says are hurting Americans, pledging bold solutions with Elon and @DOGE. "Debt-fueled government spending causes inflation which is an invisible tax. Government overregulation depresses economic activity which is an invisible tax. That is Biden’s legacy & now it’s our job to clean up the mess."

🚨 NEW STUDY: 𝕏 IS THE NEWS | WE ARE THE MEDIA A Pew study confirms it: X is the heartbeat of modern media. 85% of news influencers—the citizen journalists redefining how we consume information—are active on 𝕏. These voices, 77% of whom have no ties to legacy media, are independent storytellers shaping narratives, breaking news, and sparking global conversations. Nearly 40% of adults under 30 now turn to influencers for news, leaving traditional outlets in the dust. And it’s not just youth—1 in 5 Americans rely on citizen journalists to stay informed. The impact? 65% of users say influencers on X help them better understand civic issues. A striking 70% feel the news here is different—fresh, unfiltered, and outside the mainstream bubble. X isn’t just a platform anymore. It’s a revolution. On 𝕏, we are the media. Source: Pew Research Center

🚨WESTERN TAX CODES RANKED: HOW DOES SWEDEN DO IT IN 100 PAGES?! The UK tax code is so long (17,000+ pages), you’d need a lifetime and a ship of tea to read it. The US tax code is a whopping 6,800 pages—longer than Marcel Proust’s "In Search of Lost Time," the longest book ever written, at 4,200 pages. @elonmusk: "Crazy idea: let's simplify the tax code🤷‍♂️" Well, Sweden has done it with just 100 pages. Here’s the ranking: 1️⃣ United Kingdom: 17,000+ pages (Seriously, why?!) 2️⃣ United States: 6,800 pages (Don’t worry, we’ve got TurboTax!) 3️⃣ Australia: 5,000 pages (That’s a lot of “mates.”) 4️⃣ Canada: 3,000 pages (Blame the moose?) 5️⃣ Germany: 1,700 pages (Efficient… but still hefty.) 6️⃣ France: 1,500 pages (Wine probably helps.) 7️⃣ Spain: 1,000 pages (Olé for less confusion!) 8️⃣ Italy: 800 pages (Mostly pasta deductions?) 9️⃣ Netherlands: 400 pages (And bikes?) 🔟 Sweden: 100 pages (HOW?!) Is it time for everyone else to ditch the madness and go full Sweden? Sources: CBS News, Investopedia, Britannica
