My piece in today's @NYPostOpinion: Democratic operatives have been targeting Musk since he took over the company and ceased censoring Americans.
They gin up flimsy reports that allege hate, then scream at advertisers. trib.al/fMUcO6x

Here's my conversation with @elonmusk, his 4th time on the podcast. We talk about war & peace, AI, physics, politics, video games, and the future of humanity.
This is episode 400 of the podcast. It's been an incredible journey. I'm grateful to Elon for his friendship, and I'm grateful for all the kindness and love I've gotten from folks along the way. I love you all! ❤

[The Great] Reset
Let the public hear exactly what this disinformation consists of and decide for themselves.
Many times, we have found the “official fact-checker” to be the very individual making false statements!
For example, the chief fact-checker of The Washington Post was found to have made three demonstrably false statements in quick succession.
Maybe that is the case here, maybe not.

Look at the explosive growth and falling costs of batteries, solar and wind in the chart below…the numbers are really impressive.
This is why I think we will have a near zero marginal cost of energy by 2030. The incremental cost of generating power will approach ~$0.005/kWh in this time frame - essentially making power free and abundant.
The big issue will be the realized cost of this energy and will demonstrate, especially in the US, the decrepit and costly delivery infrastructure from the incumbent utilities. All of this translates into higher prices which makes no sense (see image).
My bet has, and will continue to be, that more and more of power will be generated by individuals using solar PV + battery packs in their home.
The pull through from EVs will also help accelerate this trend.
So whether you want a Tesla and end up with solar and battery or you simply want lower energy costs and break away from your utility, many Americans will end up in the same place: they will become a mini utility that makes power from the sun and uses it to power their lives.
Now, one thing we will save for later is the tipping point of insolvency for utilities as this trend really accelerates: how do they pay for their debt when enough people generate their own power and quit the utilities?
This is a multi $T default in the offing…likely in the 2030-2040 timeframe.

INSANELY BULLISH.
The two ingredients necessary for MASSIVELY expanding the global labor market with useful humanoid robots:
1. VISION (perception, planning & action)
This is almost solved (end-to-end is HUGE).
2. Superhuman HANDJOB capability
Approaching fast. The demo shows incredible dexterity, soft touch & ability to manipulate objects.
With more training, it's only a matter of time.
Rate of progress is INSANE.
Don't sleep on Tesla bot.
Optimus will change everything.
EVERYTHING.
Optimus can now sort objects autonomously 🤖
Its neural network is trained fully end-to-end: video in, controls out.
Come join to help develop Optimus (& improve its yoga routine 🧘)

🚨BOMBSHELL: @TuckerCarlson asked @RobertKennedyJr about the shadowy biolabs in Ukraine. RFK's jaw-dropping answer, if proven true, could shake the very foundations of trust and demands unparalleled consequences for both Anthony Fauci and Ralph Baric.
RFK: "Anthony Fauci got all the responsibility for bio-weapons development. [...] In 2014, 300 scientists wrote to President Obama and said 'you've gotta shut down Anthony Fauci, because he is going to create a microbe that will cause a global pandemic.' And so Obama signed a moratorium and shut down the 18 worst of Anthony Fauci's experiments, where most of them were taking place in North Carolina by a scientist called Ralph Baric (@Baric_Lab).
Instead of obeying that law, Anthony Fauci shifted lots of his operations offshore. And those operations ended up mostly in Wuhan Lab, which is a military lab [...] and many of them went to Ukraine."
Where is the outcry from the mainstream media? New York Times, Washington Post - anyone?

🚨 Brazil's Censorship Regime Becomes Even More Despotic
Monark, "Brazil's Joe Rogan," is now being criminally investigated and fined ~$75,000 for online conduct—fully silencing the once mega-popular podcaster without any due process.
This is what's coming for everyone.
The West is using Brazil as its censorship laboratory, learning how to implement and escalate their totalitarian assault on free expression.

Ukraine couldn't resist taking advantage of the grain deal to stage two strikes on the Kerch Straight bridge.
The strikes accomplished nothing strategic, only succeeding in a temporary reduction of road bridge capacity, while the rail bridge was unaffected.
The grain deal was bringing Ukraine revenues of $500 million per month, $6 billion per year. So, for literally no gain other than a hollow PR victory, Ukraine has destroyed a significant source of revenue.
There were a number of other reasons involved as well for not extending the deal again, including the failure to reconnect a Russian agricultural bank to SWIFT and the failure to retract sanctions against shipping insurance.
The bottom line is that Russia negotiated in good faith on the original six month grain deal and the two subsequent extensions, and neither Ukraine nor the West honored the terms.
Given that Russia disabled Ukraine's port facilities with massive strikes over the last few days, Ukraine will not have the option of thumbing its nose at Russia's warnings and risk shipping grain (and weapons) anyway.
Russia has offered free grain to counties in need, even the West's "food crisis" criticism has been wrecked. Nobody will starve that the West wasn't already starving, but EU farm animals will certainly cost more to feed.
Something to think about when the braying demagogic loons in the West wail about global food security. If it was a genuine concern then they would have honored the terms of the deal.

Time for a bit of climate hope.
Solar power is the fastest growing energy technology in history, and wind is not far behind.

Mom shares heartfelt message about her daughter who wanted to be a boy.
PLEASE READ AND RETWEET:
"This is my middle daughter Hope at 3 and 18. When she was about 2.5 yrs old, she told me she wanted to be a boy. This continued in different forms until she was 12-13. She asked me once: “When am I going to grow a winkie?” (Side note: she had an older sister and brother and had seen it all as I often bathed them together!). I explained that she wouldn’t because she was a girl. She told me she wanted to tee-tee standing up, so I explained how that wouldn’t work for her. Unfazed, she decided to try it! It didn’t work, and life went on.
She was all tomboy! She played sports and was hyper-competitive. Almost all of her friends until 7th grade were boys. She only wore boys underwear! She had to wear a dress on Sundays as we attended church and that was our rule but she often walked into her class, yanked her dress up and announced, “I’m still wearing my boy underwear.” I never argued with her about her clothes. I remember her coming home in 1st grade and asking me what a “lesvian” was because some boys had called her that on the bus. I explained it was when a girl loved another girl. She said, “Oh!” That was it! She was 6 and didn’t need a discussion on sex at that point.
We often talked about her being able to do anything a boy could do, and she could still be a girl. She was a 3 sport athlete, 3 sport captain, All-state volleyball player, and jr college (scholarship) basketball player. However, she was still a girl and a freaking awesome one! When she was 12-13, she asked for girl panties but still only wore athletic clothes.
She’s as beautiful today at 23 as she is athletic. She loves to snowboard, hike and still loves sports. We allowed her to work out who she was with perimeters that allowed her to be successful. She’s engaged to a great guy whom she will marry August 19.
I would have NEVER medicated her, surgically changed her, hormonally altered her or done ONE thing differently than what we did. I don’t care what the world, social media, trans activists push: these are KIDS!
To do anything that could change them before their brains are fully developed is ridiculous and honestly, abusive! Guide them, talk to them, advocate for them, accept them but for the love of all that is right, do not CHANGE them.
I just read a heartbreaking story about a person who physically transitioned as a young adult who is now 17 years away from that and says it was their BIGGEST mistake. Hope has often said how different her life would be for her and us if she was growing up today because the pressure to transition her would be so great. I can assure you that would have had zero affect on us.
PARENTS: please don’t get swept up in this madness. Be the voice of reason your child needs. PLEASE!!

🧵THREAD: The FBI worked as a disinformation outlet for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee to frame Donald Trump as a Russian agent to sway the outcome of the 2016 election, and then they did it again with Hunter Biden's laptop during the 2020 election:
"What we learned today with the long-anticipated release of the Durham report is that the FBI worked as a disinformation shop for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. Special Counsel John Durham's report shows us that the same people that lecture you today about threats to democracy nearly destroyed it by using our intelligence agencies to target the then-Republican nominee for president and then later sitting President Donald Trump. The entire story begins not by rigging an election against Donald Trump though it starts with rigging an election in support of Hillary Clinton.
Just weeks before the FBI launched the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, WikiLeaks released 10s of 1000s of emails, proving the Democratic National Committee had rigged its 2016 primary in favor of Hillary Clinton. The victims here are Democratic voters and Bernie Sanders. The DNC and Hillary Clinton herself knew that that primary was rigged. They knew those emails were real. So together, they immediately worked to discredit the leaks. They immediately worked to discredit the idea that they rigged that Democratic primary and their plan to do so, dismiss it all as the contents of Russian propaganda and lay it there at the feet of Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton, in my estimation, in the first smoking gun of the night personally approved a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to quote vilify Donald Trump, by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services. There you have the plan. There you have the motive. Now then you go on according to Durham's report to see that US intelligence agencies knew in fact what Hillary was trying to trying to do. Almost immediately senior members of our intelligence community began acting on those allegations, treating them as fact.
Here's some familiar names about CIA Director John Brennan, who briefed then President Barack Obama, his Vice President Joe Biden, and FBI Director James Comey, along with the Attorney General, briefed them all on Hillary's conspiracy theory to tie Trump to the DNC hack... The Clinton campaign and the DNC, through a firm called Fusion GPS paid a former British spy named Christopher Steele to compile intelligence to tie Trump to Russia. But the intelligence that fusion GPS put together was a series of scandalous, salacious, nothing burgers... The Durham Report is six years too late because the hoax worked. An entity presidency was derailed.
The Democratic Party succeeded in demonizing Russia, making them our primary enemy on the world stage, not the Chinese Communist Party, and bringing us to the verge of nuclear war in Eastern Europe as we conduct a proxy war in Ukraine. Not only that an entire three years of presidency was derailed, the country was pitted against itself. And everyone now has bought into lies and disinformation while pretending they're the warriors against disinformation... Not only were they not held accountable, they were so emboldened by this entire story, that they did the same thing again in 2020 with Hunter Biden's laptop."

By my count over the past month we have ∼50 countries that affirmed a will to dedollarize, including huge economic powers like ASEAN countries, the BRICS, Saudi Arabia or France.
It's over 50% of the world's GDP saying they want to dedollarize, virtually impossible to counter.
