A lot of people dont realize that elon likely saved our country, or at least our freedom, by purchasing twitter. Without X being free, trump would have had no shot of being reelected this cycle.
100% he did! I hope he gets noble peace prize or some form of recognition. Look at some of the stuff neurolink is doing. Yes it an be a little scary but the other end of the spectrum it can be amazing in helping people.

Not everyone is aware of brett or his ideas, but this is worth considering, and likely correct IMO:

Bret Weinstein, an evolutionary biologist, and commentator, has often used the phrase "Zero is a special number" in discussions related to platforms of free speech, narrative control, and societal structures. This concept can be interpreted in various ways based on his commentary, particularly in the context of platforms like X (formerly Twitter) under Elon Musk's leadership: 1. **The Power of Zero Resistance**: In many of Weinstein's posts, he suggests that if there exists even one platform (like X) where free speech is genuinely upheld, where truth can compete openly with narrative or propaganda, the entire system of narrative control or manipulation could be disrupted. Here, "zero" represents the number of platforms needed to be completely controlled for a narrative to remain unchallenged. If there's one exception (thus, not zero), this system fails because truth or alternative viewpoints can proliferate from this single point of freedom. 2. **The Binary of Control**: Weinstein might be playing on the binary nature of control - either there's total control (zero platforms where truth can freely emerge), or there's potential for chaos or change (one or more platforms where information control isn't absolute). This could be seen as a metaphorical use of numbers where "zero" symbolizes complete control or suppression, and any number beyond zero (like one) introduces variability or chaos into the system. 3. **Mathematical and Philosophical Insight**: Mathematically, zero has unique properties - it's neither positive nor negative, it's the identity element for addition, and its presence or absence can change equations significantly. Philosophically, zero can represent nothing or void, but in this context, it might symbolize the absence of resistance or opposition to an established narrative or power structure. When you achieve "one," you've broken this monopoly, which can be seen as introducing something into nothing, thereby changing everything. 4. **Platform Dynamics**: In practical terms, if one major social media platform allows for unfettered speech, it might set a precedent or a competitive necessity for others to follow suit to not lose audience share or relevance. This dynamic could lead to a ripple effect where multiple platforms begin to value free speech more highly, reducing the 'control' number towards zero but ironically enhancing actual freedom. 5. **Narrative Disruption**: Weinstein's discussions often revolve around how narratives are formed and maintained in society. If there's "zero" platforms where alternative narratives can't thrive, the dominant narrative goes unchallenged. However, just one platform where this isn't true can begin to disrupt this narrative dominance, making "one" (or any number above zero) a significant figure in the battle of ideas. This interpretation of "zero" (and by extension, "one" as the breaching of this zero) from Bret Weinstein's perspective isn't strictly about numbers but about control, power, and the flow of information in modern society. It's a metaphorical use to highlight how critical even a single instance of freedom or resistance can be in a system designed for uniformity or suppression.

The left must be really kicking themselves for treating Elon like a pariah, he has been absolutely substantial to any success that trump has or will have going forward in 2025

Blaming the government for his failed job as a parent isn't a great coping mechanism
Do you think Elon professed the mental genetic alteration situation that is the woke ideal?

Guessing he is no worse or better parent than any other billionaire that likely has a staff helping raise the family.
Someone got this kid into this mindset. Maybe Elon secretly likes mental illness and made this all happen?.

As much as I hope something will come of this, my thought is it’ll end up as a recommendation to congress and it will end there.

I’m not trying to be a hater but when I see stuff like leaderboards I start thinking Camacho might be in charge. If we all start drinking sports drinks and talking about electrolytes I will be a little scared lol.
