This is what happens to people who actually *make* stuff.
@elonmusk This long term Tesla employee, a Production Supervisor, was the first in her family to own her own home thanks to Tesla stock. Far more than any union or government program could provide.

I just put up an essay over on Medium about how the release of the Epstein files was inevitable, according to natural law. https://t.co/6Y8vIbyMf4 Enjoy.

On December 19, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice began releasing thousands of long-suppressed files on Jeffrey Epstein — documents…

Free things are usually worth what they cost.
Q: Can governments in Canada arbitrarily kill you? A: Yes. Q: Can you do anything about it? A: Probably not. You are forced at gunpoint/jailing/property seizure to pay taxes in Canada – a generous portion of which goes to our “free” health care system. Health care is federally

Definitely time for an audit. They're getting away with financial murder and we need to bring it to light.
The city of Austin spent $1.1M of tax $ on this logo. Last week the city threatened us with legal action for creating a parody logo to highlight this waste. We're still using it & we have filed a free speech suit in state court. Time for an Audit? (See Statesman coverage)

RIP Freedom of Speech in the EU.
This former English soccer player sent a few tweets and now he’s been convicted of “sending grossly offensive electronic communications with intent to cause distress or anxiety.” At this rate, Europeans will start fleeing to America the way the original idea of America imagined.

Joey Barton has been given six-months in custody, suspended for 18 months, for sending six "grossly offensive" social media posts. Huw Edwards was given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years for indecent images of children. The UK “justice” system for you.

A high trust society is cheaply run since order is mostly achieved by consensual cultural taboo. But in a diverse society, where everyone has his "own truth" all security is physical -- and expensive. The doors can no longer be left unlocked, supermarket shelves must be enclosed

I don't think this report is getting enough play: https://t.co/CUWiUOl9II When someone signs up for ObamaCare subsidies (the subject of our recent government shutdown), they aren't required to prove citizenship or even provide a good social security number. Further, they can

This kerfuffle with Democrat Senators telling the military not to obey illegal orders seems awfully cut and dried to me. You don't tell someone "look out, don't be obeying any illegal orders," without strongly implying that they ARE getting illegal orders. How else does the

I have long been puzzled by career U.S. military officers who align themselves with Democrats. I know from a number of joint assignments and schools that this is a particularly pernicious problem in the Navy. My explanation of this is as follows: -The overwhelming majority of

For all of you out there who think that what ICE is doing is just terrible, let's have a thought experiment: You want a better life for yourself than the US under Trump and decide that, say, France would be the place to live. You pay a guy a few thousand dollars to get you ovr

If you're a hardware person looking to get into the AI world, this might bear looking into:
Most people don’t know that Tesla has had an advanced AI chip and board engineering team for many years. That team has already designed and deployed several million AI chips in our cars and data centers. These chips are what enable Tesla to be the leader in real-world AI. The

He said a very truthful, very obvious mouthful.
@alexthechick Prices aren’t going to go back down. The Biden inflation represents a permanent reduction in the value of a US dollar. Your purchasing power has been stolen. They ate it. You don’t get it back

I'm going to predict that the release of the Epstein files will result in ... nothing. Both political sides have had access to those files for years now. Anything sensational that relates to anyone connected to politics has likely been removed. What's left will be boring. Oh,
