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.

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...

Guess what? You HAVE lived long enough to see an actual flying car.Amazing times indeed. We Went To The Tesla Roadster Event | 4K~Easy

This video features an in-depth look at the new *Tesla Roadster* by motoring journalist *Henry Catchpole* and *Lars Moravy*, Tesla's Vice President of Vehicle Engineering. The car is described as an extraordinary hypercar that aims to transcend standard electric vehicle performance through unique engineering and aerospace-inspired features. **Key Engineering and Design Features:** * **Powertrain and Performance:** The *Roadster* uses two high-performance motors driving the rear wheels, producing over a megawatt of power and 1400 Nm of torque (2:41-3:13). It features a unique 4680 battery cell design with double-sided cooling for consistent high-performance track driving (3:26-4:03). * **Active Aerodynamics:** The car...

Elon Musk is putting more than $276 million behind Republicans ahead of the midterms, and he's doing it without the high-profile campaign appearances that defined his support for President Trump in 2024. The world's only trillionaire is now the biggest known donor of the election cycle, including a staggering $158 million contribution to the main super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates. Another $76 million is going to America PAC, which is rebuilding the massive door-knocking operation it used to help elect Trump in 2024. Musk is also directing $10 million toward a group supporting Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton....

The new century will see a renaissance of space exploration as exciting and as challenging as the space race of the 1960’s. And this rebirth will happen under the banner of freedom and private property, the very principles for which the United States fought the Cold War. [predicted in my 1998 book - Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, p. 263]. More than any other moment since the launch of Sputnik in 1957, the future of the human race’s effort to explore and settle the solar system is right now shining bright and hopeful, with everything converging enthusiastically in a...

Elon Musk is moving closer to competing for the monthly cellphone bill that millions of Americans pay to AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. SpaceX has agreed to acquire a nationwide wireless spectrum portfolio that would help its Starlink Mobile business expand service from both satellites and equipment on the ground. The announcement came Thursday, October 8, and the stock-market reaction continued Friday morning. MarketWatch reported Verizon shares down approximately 6%, with AT&T and T-Mobile each down about 9% in morning trading. Those figures are an intraday snapshot, rather than closing prices. For consumers, the potential payoff is more competition and better...

SpaceX just got a massive FCC green light for Starlink Mobile The FCC has approved SpaceX to launch and operate up to 15,000 next-generation satellites built for direct-to-phone connectivity The new system is designed to: • Target peak speeds of up to 150 Mbps per user• Connect ordinary cell phones directly from space • Operate in very low orbit at roughly 326–335 km • Use T-Mobile spectrum alongside spectrum SpaceX is acquiring from EchoStar • Deliver orders of magnitude more capacity than the first-generation Starlink Mobile constellation SpaceX currently has roughly 650 dedicated mobile satellites in orbit The FCC also...

FIRST ON FOX: Trump will award Elon Musk the National Medal of Science at the White House Thursday.

It marks Trump’s first time presenting the awards across either administration. Full story here foxnews.com/politics/first…

BREAKING: Tesla’s German registrations surged 268.7% in September compared with last year. Year-to-date registrations are up 201.9%, pushing Tesla ahead of BYD in Germany. Tesla captured 14.2% of Germany’s electric car market in September, its strongest monthly result in years.

Mark Ruffalo warns that Democrats need to be watchful for voting machine manipulation and suggests Elon Musk could be involved: "We need to be on guard for what we may not see coming -- ELON." "That's the cybersecurity of these elections." "We know that these systems are vulnerable." We have been reliably informed for years that this kind of rhetoric Undermines Faith In Elections and is Very Dangerous To Democracy

Musk spent over $290 million to put Trump in the White House. He’s $640 billion richer today. Not a bad investment. Now he’s spending up to $200 million to try to keep Republicans in control of Congress. Our job: Stop Musk. Stop Trump. Elect Progressives. End Citizens United.

Wow we launched all vehicles this week! Starship, Falcon 9, Dragon and Falcon Heavy! 3 of them in one day plus 4 extraordinary humans 🚀👩🏽‍🚀😄

BREAKING: War Secretary Pete Hegseth has named @elonmusk to co-lead Project Meridian, a major new Pentagon effort to study and shape the future of warfare.

Key details: • Co-led by Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich • Led within the department by CTO Emil Michael • Will bring together private-sector leaders and military experts • Will map the future of wars, military domains and emerging technologies • Will identify the areas America must lead and dominate • Findings are expected within 120 days • A full public rollout will...

Key Points OpenAI has decided not to release its GPT-6.1 Astra model due to heightened AI safety concerns. Saachi Jain, head of safety systems at OpenAI, said the model “didn’t quite meet the bar in terms of staying within scope and authorization, and how it communicates back to the user about the type of work it’s done.” The heads of OpenAI and rival Anthropic have both indicated recently that top AI labs should slow the pace of model development. ======================================================================= OpenAI decided not to release an upcoming artificial intelligence model, GPT-6.1 Astra, after determining that it did not adequately meet...

Elon Musk is making a sky-high prediction for artificial intelligence. The SpaceX CEO says computing will eventually move almost entirely off Earth. “The amount of compute in space will obviously round up to 100% of all compute,” Musk wrote on X in response to a video about Google’s Project Suncatcher. The project explores whether solar-powered satellites carrying Google’s AI chips could work together as an orbital data center. In the video Musk responded to, researchers describe satellites flying in tight formation and linking their chips to handle larger computing tasks. The idea is still in the testing stage. Google has...

BREAKING: Elon Musk on China in his new interview with CCTV Finance: “I generally recommend people go to China as much as they can, because China has so many things to see. I took the bullet train from Beijing to Xi’an. That was a great experience. The train stations are amazing. “The Terracotta Warriors are one of the wonders of the world. Just make sure you look out the window and aren’t on your phone, because there’s so much to see. Any words I say do not do justice to the incredible majesty that is China. It’s awesome.”
