Very positive and constructive conversation with @elonmusk today. Italy is looking with great interest at the opportunities offered by assisted driving technologies, with a focus on innovation and road safety, and supports a swift EU approval of Tesla Assisted Driving. Thanks for the exchange, Elon!

My post about France went viral. Thousands of likes. Many Americans told me: "Democrats aren't socialists. America will never be France." I want to answer that seriously, step by step. Start with a simple observation. Look at what has gotten cheaper in America over the last 25 years: TVs, phones, software, clothes, toys. Now look at what has exploded: college tuition, healthcare, childcare, housing. What separates the two lists? The first lives in competitive markets. The second is exactly where government is most involved: subsidies, mandates, licensing, zoning, regulation. College. Washington lends students almost unlimited money. Universities know the money will always come, so they raise tuition and hire more administrators. The student pays the bill for twenty years. More government money, higher prices. Housing. Why can't a nurse buy a home in the city where she works? Not because of capitalism. Because of zoning laws, permits, environmental reviews, years of procedure to build a single building. The most expensive places to live in America are the places where it's hardest to build. When building is nearly illegal, prices explode. Healthcare. The patient almost never sees the price. A third party pays, regulations limit who can compete, and costs climb year after year with no one able to say no. So here is the trap. The problems you suffer from are not the failure of free markets. They are the places where the market has already been replaced by the state. And the solution you're being offered is more of the same. That's the Trojan horse. It always works the same way. A real problem. A generous-sounding promise. A program that makes things worse. Then the failure of that program becomes the argument for the next one. People who lived under communism in Poland learned to recognize the lie and the mask the lie wears. The lie never presents itself as a lie. It presents itself as compassion. In France we are at the end of that road. Debt we can never repay. Young people who can't afford a home. Our best people leaving. And every few years our cities burn. Nobody voted for this. They voted for one more generous promise, fifty years in a row. If you're a Republican, share this with the Democrat in your life. Not to win an argument. To start a conversation. If you're a Democrat, I'm not asking you to switch teams. I'm asking you to look at the pattern. Wherever the state took over, life became unaffordable. Don't fix the failures of government with more government. Stay American. Ask for less state, not more.

Today, Pioneer Labs is announcing our first step towards terraforming Mars. 🚀🌼 With equipment that fits in just a single rocket launch, we can convert Martian dirt, water, and air into enough building materials to construct a small city on Mars. To do it, we made the first microbe for Mars. We found the best microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it how to source all of its nutrients directly from Martian materials. The first astronauts will be greeted with safe shelter already filled with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the return journey. This is the first step toward using biology to make Mars a friendly place for life. It lets us live off the land and helps us build the next great frontier. It's the first of five organisms we need to green Mars ⬇️

Let's talk about the phrase everyone loves to hate (until they pass): "Try Harder." 🧗‍♂️ When you hit a brick wall in the labs, "Try Harder" isn't arrogance. It's a deliberate methodology to build true cyber resilience. 🔍 Try Smarter: Re-enumerate and question assumptions. 🧠 Build Muscle Memory: Finding the answer is learning; being handed the answer is just memorization. 🛡️ Real-World Prep: Live incidents don't come with hints. To everyone currently in the labs: take a break, reset, and keep pushing. The breakthrough is coming. What did "Try Harder" mean to you during your OffSec training and exam? Let us know! 👇 #OffSec #TryHarder #OSCP #CyberResilience

Lots of people asking about the shift to permanent daylight savings. The data clearly show locking to standard is best. For mental and physical health. That am sunlight is key, But if not, then locking to daylight savings second best. Shifting back-and-forth is the worst choice.

THE FULL ENDING OF GAME 4. UNCUT. 🍿🍿🍿🍿

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

“And there’s a subtle political bias that I have never seen at ‘60 Minutes” before or at CBS News before.” Scott Pelley spews nonsense with confidence. He has so thoroughly imbibed progressive dogmas that he may actually believe he is politically neutral..

Scott Pelley just issued a statement on Bari's remarks this morning:

According to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, a meeting will happen now in the White House Situation Room to make a final determination on a potential U.S.-Iran deal. Per President Trump, the U.S. blockade of vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports will now be lifted. According to Trump, Iran will also remove mines and commit to allowing the removal enriched material under the watch of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Additionally, per the statement, "Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to.”
