Naming it USAID was brilliant honestly because most people are too dumb to even ask what it really does
It’s like naming something “Save the Orphan Puppies Org” - what do you mean Elon got rid of it, does he hate puppies?!
It’s like no, Save the Puppies was sending money to the literal taliban

The fix everything button is literally just to arrest criminals and keep them in jail
Bukele was able to do this in a matter of months
When you see the crime and rot in western cities and feel unsafe letting your wife walk around, know that it is a choice.

1% of people account for 63% of all violent crimes.
0.2% of people ever commit murder, and **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests
You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.

It baffles me that for centuries it was completely un-controversial to kill pedophiles and murderers and now it’s like a big deal to suggest that
Can someone explain this to me?

SpaceX is a company whose mission is *axiomatically* the love of humanity
To extend the light of consciousness
The power of this kind of love is hard to quantify but clearly makes the impossible far more probable.

Let me get this straight
> 84% of Americans support requiring a photo id to vote
> every major democracy in the world does this except the US
> even under our very eyes, the mail-in ballots in California are highly suspiciously slanted toward only one party
And yet majority can’t push this through?!
This is a traitorous level of incompetence
Pass the SAVE Act!!

This is really not a hard problem to understand:
> 70+% of countries require photo ID to vote, the US is in the minority
> photo IDs are absolutely required for dozens of everyday tasks
> those who oppose this are simply supporting fraud and cheating
Our electoral security

Make this make sense:
1. 85% of Americans (eg, the majority both sides) want a voter ID requirement
2. this would make it one of the most popular policies of all time
3. yet, while controlling Congress, republicans haven't passed any law to enact this requirement
The SAVE Act would accomplish this, and it's passed the house but stalled in the senate for months
This is an absurdity that can only really be explained by massive incompetence or an incentive to cheat.
I'm not sure which it is

How is this not treason:
1. incentivizing illegal immigration by vastly expanding welfare and giving it to non-citizens
2. keep borders open
3. create fast-tracks from asylum to citizenship, allow mail-in ballots, and eliminate photo-ID for voting
4. win elections
5. repeat until one-party rule
I used to think this was an exaggeration
But after Elon's time at DOGE and @npub1vgc…f4mu 's investigation in Minnesota, I think this taxpayer-funded vote-laundering program is far more systemic than we think
It very nearly succeeded at a national level.
If the fraud and electoral loopholes aren't eliminated, it still has the potential to.

This is actually absurd:
> California has a $18b budget deficit
> uses federal funding (your taxpayer dollars) to float the difference
> yet also on track to spend $12b on MediCal for ILLEGAL immigrants in 2026
The problem isn't tax revenue, it's fraud and giving free things to illegal immigrants
Your taxpayer dollars, even if you don't live in California, are being used to subsidize free healthcare for illegal immigrants
And yet, politicians like Ro Khanna want to put *more* taxes on CA residents. Insane.
Something tells me this is just the tip of the iceberg of faud, mismanagement, and incentives to cheat.
Investigate California.

> Minnesota had $9b of fraud (so far) against an average annual expenditure of $54b
> Even if CA is *only* the same % fraud as MN, that would be $69b of fraud
> that would make CA fraud >> than the entire budget of MN
> California has more NGO's, more welfare, and a track record of absolute incompetence
Just remember the $100b "railway to nowhere".
Buckle up

I asked ChatGPT & Grok whether it was a crime for Trump to arrest Maduro (a common & important question today)
ChatGPT said yes:
- falsely assumed that Maduro was legitimately elected
- defaulted to referencing the UN charter and "international experts"
- has an anti-American slant, both explicitly and implicitly.
It sounds like a left-leaning law professor at any Ivy League school!
Grok said no:
- correctly explained Maduro's fraudulent rule
- explained Trump's power as commander in chief to direct the military to execute federal warrants
This is incredibly important to get right, as it will increasingly be the default information layer for society

Unpatriotic idiots in congress and the media are already complaining about Maduro's capture, and exaggerating the surgical military strike
But keep in mind, he:
- literally ran a cartel (Cartel de los Soles)
- caused hyperinflation, destroying the economy and causing food

Wikipedia: "conspiracy theorists claim COVID-19 leaked from a lab"
Grokipedia: "experts are split, here are the sources for the house report on the lab leak and the scientific sentiment studies"
Wow! I'm genuinely incredibly impressed.
I will literally never use Wikipedia again. Grokipedia is clearly much more factual and unbiased, and easier to read source documents.
This is only v0.1!
Elon / xAI really cooked with this one. This will fundamentally reshape the way humans consume knowledge
