It’s amusing watching Democrats destroy themselves attacking President Trump and, especially, Elon Musk. They’re crash-test dummies at a Tesla research facility. Meanwhile, here’s what Elon did recently:
· Brought down the two astronauts Biden stranded up there after DEI’d Boeing’s capsule broke last year. Headline: “Stranded astronaut confirms Biden shot down Musk’s offer to bring pair home: ‘Absolutely factual’.” Biden didn’t want Musk to bring our astronauts down in September and let Musk grab the acclaim before the election. How cruel.
· The Financial Times: “Elon Musk gets telecom tycoons’ double backing for Starlink in India: Country’s two biggest mobile operators drop opposition and sign deals.” That means a couple hundred million Indians will be using this U.S. technology, creating many thousands of jobs here.
· From AEI’s Space Trends in 2024: “SpaceX continued to dominate the global launch market in 2024…. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 conducted 52 percent of all launches, launched 84 percent of all satellites, and delivered 84 percent of total satellite mass to orbit for the year.” And that’s without his giant new Starship, the one that returns and is grabbed by “chop sticks,” still undergoing testing.
Let me emphasize: 84 percent of total satellite mass to orbit. One company. Our company. Right here in the USA.
Without Elon, America would be in third place in space, behind Russia and China. Russia would have had to rescue our two astronauts. How embarrassing would that have been?
The Wall Street Journal headlined March 23, “China’s Own Elon Musks Are Racing to Catch Up to SpaceX: Private sector takes bigger role in building reusable rockets, advancing Beijing’s goal of independence from Western technology.” That means we have to keep up with China. Go, Elon, Go!
Despite that, this past weekend Sen. Sanders and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez held ludicrous rallies in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado attacking Musk. Here’s Sanders in Tucson haranguing as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy Tour”:
Today you got three people on top, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, owning more wealth than the bottom half of America, 170 million Americans…. You gotta be kind of blind not to understand that you have a government of the billionaire class, for the billionaire class, by the billionaire class.
That’s communism. Pure communist envy.
Question: How many rockets has Sanders built? Ironically, he hates Russia and, even though he was a peacenik, Sixties hippie marching against the Vietnam War, is a big backer of sending more military aid to Ukraine – to kill what’s left of the country’s young men, just to hurt Russia. Yet if he had his way, Russia would dominate space instead of the USA and Musk!
Sanders is having LSD flashbacks, not just to the 1960s, but the 1930s, when Stalinist communism was the rage in leftist circles in the United States. But even during the Great Depression, Americans never cottoned to communism. FDR never nationalized companies, but just spent a lot of money on his New Deal programs, some of which, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, actually built something useful. Irony of ironies, the TVA’s cheap electricity is powering Elon’s Grok AI server farm near Memphis.
And how would Sanders grab the oligarchs’ wealth? Here’s the current wealth of those three men, as of my writing: Musk $244 billion, Bezos $197 billion and Zuckerberg $181 billion. Total: $622 billion. If Comrade Sanders stole all that, it would fund the $7,000,000,000,000.00 2025 federal budget for just 32.4 days. Then it would be gone. The government, not great entrepreneurs, would be running SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, Facebook, Amazon, etc. Oh, and Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin.
On X, James Altucher listed the billionaires supporting Democrats. There are more oligarchs on this list than support Trump and Republicans. Why isn’t Sanders denouncing them by name?
And what about all those billions Elon is cutting from government? Which cuts Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are denouncing. And which has led to mobs of “Tesla Terrorists” attacking Tesla cars and dealerships – which ironically will make them more popular, because Americans stand up to bullies.
Here’s Former African Union Ambassador to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao:
They’re using that open access, sounding humanitarian, to constantly destabilize governments. We need to understand the real reason why USAID is in Africa, and not just USAID, but other NGOs They are coming in claiming that they’re introducing grassroots initiatives that are going to help the people, and so they use that as a way to go into the most remote parts of Africa. When you look at it on paper, it all looks really good, but they’re actually wolf in sheep’s clothing.
The American taxpayer needs to know the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID. A fraction is making it to the people. They’re using that open access sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments. I can tell you right now, the majority of African leaders, and not just African leaders, but leaders in the developing world are celebrating the exit of USAID.
If you think about it, their sole purpose, for example, filling in the gaps in healthcare and education, where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved. Show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved?
That’s what’s really going on. And it’s what Musk and Trump are cleaning out. Let the Democrat anti-Musk-and-Trump fanatics keep screaming. All they have is hate. Musk and Trump are building the future – all the way to Mars.
NASA was happy to have two well-qualified occupants on the under-staffed ISS.
