I sat on the syndicate desk of a global investment bank from the dot-com crash through the global financial crisis. We had to do a lot of media work to promote deals. One day I asked our Global Head of Communications why the media was so gentle with us. He laughed: “Because we’re one of their biggest advertisers.” That explains a lot of the media’s treatment of Elon. Tesla is so successful, its ad spend is effectively zero, or ~0.01% of the $40 billion global auto advertising market. No ad dollars = no protection. No one knows this better than Big Pharma. They don't make confusing and enigmatic ads to sell you product; they make the ads to control the media.

If you have kids under 13 (I do), they will never drive a car… except ocassionally for fun. The “first car at 16” rite of passage is dead. They’ll just get a self-driving Tesla. You set the speed limit, cap the acceleration, lock the safety features, enforce curfew, and get pinged the second they break the rules. Safest car on the road, and one of the most affordable. And since most cars spend ~90% of their life parked, this one will make money (pay for itself) as a Robotaxi when not being used. So, it's also an entrepreneurial financial literacy tool; every kid will be a small business owner. Also. Where (or if) they go to college won’t matter either. Our job as parents now is to instill intellectual curiosity, happiness, and give them foundational support via hard assets and diversified cash flow. The future is going to be wild. Unknown unknowns.

When I look at the social media journalistic snark and discourse, my first thought is, "did you ever play sports?" Did you ever win a game? Did you go to Pizza Hut with grass-strained baseball pants? Did you limp into the Olive Garden in soccer cleats? Did you ever show up to high school the day after scoring the game-winning touchdown or three-pointer? No. No. No.

The debt of gratitude we owe Michael Milken is grossly underrated. Not enough people know or understand the extent to which Michael Milken is an American hero. By inventing junk bonds, he revolutionized capitalism, putting inefficiency and corporate complacency in the crosshairs. Armed with only a "highly confident" letter, anyone could be a hunter and anyone could be prey. Milken's innovation meant that new ideas flourished, and CEOs were forced to adopt an "evolve or die" mentality. There are now millions of people have jobs because of Michael Milken. America itself is more competitive globally because of him. And after he got out of jail, he revolutionized how we approach philanthropy and cancer research. And despite his pardon, he still has a lifetime ban from the SEC (since 1990) for the securities industry. Travesty. Read these books: Barbarians At The Gate Den of Thieves Predators' Ball Highly Confident: The Crime and Punishment of Michael Milken Although probably not Milken-level, @MartinShkreli is banned from pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Total travesty. Shkreli deserves a pardon ASAP. He bounced back from a politicized prison sentence and immediately mastered crypto and AI. MAHA needs his brain more than ever.

It doesn’t matter what you think of the Tate brothers… It is insane that the British government and media spent decades ignoring hundreds of thousands of teen girls systematically "groomed" and trafficked across the country, while protecting the perpetrators with public benefits and silence. Now they’re blowing millions of taxpayer pounds to extradite two men over dubious allegations from a couple of anonymous Instagram "models" and yacht girls.

If you care about the midterms, we have been working on a solution for this. Congress will NEVER pass the SAVE America Act. Mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting are here to stay - and they will kill us in the midterms unless we fight back. In 2024, we built VoterMaps(dot)org - a free, searchable, block-by-block map of every registered voter in key states: names, addresses, voting history, ballot status, updated in real time. Democrat dark money groups have had this kind of intel for years. Now every concerned citizen can have it too: ✅ See who actually votes ✅ Find your friends, family, and neighbors ✅ Spot ghost voters, moved voters, and dead voters ✅ Become your own GOTV machine and fraud detector Did your neighbor vote even though he moved out of state? Did an empty commercial building cast 10 ballots? Did a dead person vote? Check the map. And put it on X. We self-funded it in 2024, deployed it in swing areas, and moved the needle. For 2026 we’re trying to map all 50 states. Why this matters: - 75% of veterans still don’t vote - 30% of hunters don’t vote - 9 million more women voted than men in 2024 - 38% of men don't vote VoterMaps turns passive frustration into action. Turn your block, your precinct, your county into a turnout machine. This isn’t just a tool. It’s how we level the playing field and take back fair elections. You can support us here:

Every night, close all your browser tabs. Keep a paper and pen next to your phone/laptop/device. Take notes. Clean and tidy your mess. You'll remember (or write down) the most important things. Don't overcomplicate productivity.

People with matching RIMOWA luggage are the whiniest, most high-maintenance, vapid new-money travelers. My beat-up 20-year-old Ralph Lauren Safari tote has been to more countries than most of them ever will, and it still looks better.

Trial lawyers’ biggest lobby (AAJ) is trying to block self-driving cars. Why? Because robotaxis slash crashes by 90%, and their billion-dollar lawsuit gravy train dries up. They’d rather you die in traffic than lose their cut.

FIFA requires real grass for the World Cup, and pays for it. Yet, 15 of 32 NFL teams still play on artificial turf. On turf (vs grass): Non-contact lower extremity injuries are ~28% higher. Non-contact knee injuries are ~32% higher. Non-contact foot/ankle injuries are ~69% higher. Season-ending surgeries are ~60% higher. ACL/MCL injuries are ~50% higher. Meanwhile, Roger Goodell makes $60 million a year and the Seahawks just sold for $9.6 billion. Picture: Real Madrid's natural grass replacement elevator system.

60 Minutes story about people exonerated or falsely convicted of crimes. In most cases, they were career criminals, degenerates, losers, or people who were guilty of many other offenses never charged. Good people rarely get falsely convicted of violent crimes. Who cares.

Mark Ruffalo in 2012: “So I had my Tesla visit… Change is here.” ✅On the Model S waitlist. ✅Fighting dealer laws so Tesla could sell direct. ✅Predicting affordable EVs will change the world. Ruffalo in 2026: “Elon… kind of a monster.” “Ending humanity.” From hero to villain, just for refusing to follow their script.

The UK Labour government is rolling out an emergency early release scheme... Letting out thousands of violent criminals early, freeing up prison space for people who post memes and criticize the government. This is two-tier justice in action.

Neymar gets humiliated at the World Cup and then brags about spending $1 million on a Jacob & Co watch. Jacob doesn’t make their own movements. They outsource to the same factories as mid brands, then charge a 10x markup. A scam for suckers.
