🚨 JUST IN: VP JD Vance MIC DROPS European bureaucrats and fake news attacking Elon Musk, then BEGGING for him to unleash Starlink for Ukraine "I do find it a little IRONIC that the European countries who have NOTHING like the technology that Elon has developed in Starlink...these countries have almost universally decided to wage regulatory and licensing WAR against SpaceX. And now they're all running to SpaceX saying, 'please do what we need you to do?!'" 🔥🔥🔥 "European countries depend on American technology, American businesses, and the American military, while at the same time European political leaders love to...

Democrats are plotting to weaponize the federal government against Elon Musk if they win back the House or Senate next month. Musk has his own revenge planned, and he just put them on notice. According to a Politico report published Tuesday, senior Democrats have assembled a sprawling list of congressional investigations targeting Musk and his businesses, and the list keeps growing. Musk is the world's richest man and the GOP's biggest donor, and that second detail is the only reason Democrats are going after him. Several committees are already weighing how to target him and his companies. This is a...

🚨 OMG. Elon Musk says the ex-Tesla employee assaulted a woman because she stepped on his PRAYER RUG (likely Islamic), then that same employee went on to KlLL 3 students just months later ELON: "Now, I think we shouldn't let people like that into the country. Do YOU?" 💯💯 "He was fired...she wasn't expecting anyone to be praying in the factory, and he was praying in the factory. She accidentally stepped on his prayer rug, and he assaulted her. He violently assaulted her." "Then a few months later, he went and k*lled three students in a bar in downtown Austin."...

🚨 BREAKING: Democrats are plotting to go after Elon Musk, and Laura Ingraham just exposed exactly why. Elon gave $276 million to help Republicans in the third quarter alone. Now Democrats want to dig into Starlink's contracts and Tesla's clean energy subsidies. These are the same people who took hundreds of millions from George and Alex Soros and Reid Hoffman. Ingraham nailed it: "This is designed not just to punish Elon but also... to deter any future billionaire from helping Republicans." Elon built SpaceX, Starlink and Tesla, saved free speech, and put his own money on the line for this...

Key Takeaways SpaceX posted a large earnings beat, with EPS more than doubling Wall Street’s forecast....

SpaceX's Ship 40 is home. 78 days after it left the pad, the first Starship ever recovered from the ocean rolled through the gates of Starbase and is standing upright again, next to three brand-new ships in Mega Bay 2. SpaceX is already going through it, and I'll show you what they're looking for. NASA just published its Starship roadmap for the Moon, and the next ten weeks on that chart are packed with things SpaceX has never done. The FAA opened the paperwork for 456 Starship launches a year from Boca Chica. Texas was quietly discussing selling an entire...

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a "Starfall" return capsule and 31 other payloads on the company's Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission.

Donald J Trump:A BIG THANK YOU to our legendary friend, @ElonMusk, for his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS! This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream. Thank you Elon! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

In this week's Avid Space Starship update, Starship 40 arrived at the Build Site for its first major post-flight inspection, Booster 23 goes through testing while construction continues on Booster 24 and Ship 44, and SpaceX has filed to launch almost 20 times as many Starships each year from Starbase. Let's dig in and take a closer look at what's happened this week. SpaceX is Gearing up To Catch Starship | 11:13 Avid Space | 251K subscribers | 14,784 views | October 18, 2026

Elon Musk has made engineering the heroic, progressive enterprise we once thought it was, not the diddly work of guys in short sleeves with pocket protectors. In the same week that Elon Musk demonstrates his latest innovation -– a flying car -- Jeffrey Tucker examines Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary entries. These entries cover the period December 2021 to May 2023, which Tucker calls “the darkest months of the Covid era.” In the case of Musk, we see science in action, opening new and exciting possibilities. As for Fauci, we see a disturbing pattern of misusing his position to hide his...

After nine years, potentially millions of dollars in deposits and considerable hype, the Tesla Roadster is finally ready to launch—which it did. The electric automaker on Thursday unveiled its second-generation sports car with a flourish of engineering prowess. Using SpaceX rocket technology, the angular sports car climbed a curved ramp and hurled itself to a controlled landing. Later, it leapt over five other Tesla vehicles while twisting in the air. The demonstration was held before a crowd of Tesla enthusiasts—some of whom paid $250,000 to reserve the car nine years ago—at a SpaceX rocket test site facility in McGregor, Texas....

The left is not just indifferent to innovations like Musk’s flying cars. No, they actively hate such things. I have been interested in Teslas since a neighbor told me about the cars back in 2013, a year after the Model S made its debut. It was quite some time before I saw one for real. I agreed with my friend that they were spiffy-looking cars. Then I saw the video of Elon Musk revealing the Model S P85D in the fall of 2014. I was hooked. As I noted the following year, I am in some ways an unlikely enthusiast...

During this time of increased political polarization, it is good to know that there is one issue uniting Trump-loving MAGA Republicans, Bernie Sanders-style Democratic Socialists, and everyone in between: opposition to data centers, especially large data centers built for artificial intelligence (AI). Part of the opposition stems from the public's increasing skepticism of AI. An even larger part is generated by concerns over how AI will drive up electricity costs for those living close to the centers, as well as the high amount of water necessary to run the centers.Many data center critics ignore the fact that these kinds of...

Elon Musk’s latest vision for the company’s sports car has more to do with China than cold-gas rocket thrustersThe new Tesla Roadster was pure spectacle. There was the design that gave the sports car an appearance of a jet fighter crossed with a Lamborghini. A suction system that enabled it to hang upside down 69 feet above the ground. And, the defining feature, cold-gas rocket thrusters that jumped the car over a line of vehicles while doing a midair barrel roll.With a flying sports car, Elon Musk displayed again that he’s America’s biggest dreamer. So when the Tesla CEO puts...
