Starlink Mobile is providing free connectivity to @orange_es and @Telefonica customers affected by the devastating train collision in Spain. Families, communities, and businesses with compatible LTE phones can stay connected via apps and texts even when cell towers are down 🛰️📱

Movistar and Orange turned to SpaceX's Starlink satellites to keep phones connected at the site of Wednesday's deadly high-speed train crash near Urda, Toledo, Spain 🇪🇸
According to an ADSLZone exclusive, both carriers switched on Starlink-based coverage around the crash, where a Renfe AVE and an Iryo train collided on the Madrid to Seville high-speed line. Orange separately confirmed it moved mobile units into the area and reinforced its network to support emergency crews.
Another reason I love @elonmusk
A man who lost his voice to ALS is talking again at conversational speed. In his first week.
No gala dinner did that. No foundation press release. No "commitment to awareness."
Neuralink just shared early data from its speech restoration trial: one ALS participant hit 75 words per minute with a 5.8% error rate on a 125,000-word vocabulary, in the first week. For context, normal conversation runs around 120 to 150 words per minute. A few years ago, people in this condition were spelling words one letter at a time with their eyes. Now they're getting close to talking normally, in their own voice, straight from their brain.
Let that sink in. A disease that slowly locks you inside your own body, and someone just built a door.
And here's what's funny. For months, journalists and politicians have been telling us that Elon should "give his money away." Redistribute. Write the big check. Be a good billionaire.
They have it backwards.
Giving money away is the easy part. Anyone can sign a check. Most billionaire philanthropy today is reputation management. You fund a foundation, the foundation funds NGOs, the NGOs fund think tanks and campaigns, the think tanks shape policy, the media covers it warmly, and half the outlets covering it are owned or funded by the same billionaires. Everybody gets a nice headline. The money circulates in a closed loop of people who all know each other. The problem being "addressed" is still there twenty years later, because solving it was never really the business model. The business model was looking like you care.
That's not philanthropy. That's crony capitalism with a charity logo on it.
Now look at the other model.
Give a voice back to people with ALS. Let paralyzed people control a computer with their thoughts, and push toward restoring movement. Work on giving sight back to the blind. Make electric cars mainstream and push transport toward autonomy so getting around doesn't cost a fortune. Put high-speed internet in villages no telecom company would ever bother with. Make access to space radically cheaper. Bet on robots and cheap energy that could one day make building a home affordable without signing up for 25 years of debt.
None of that came from redistributing wealth. All of it came from creating it.
That's the part people refuse to understand. Wealth is not a fixed pie you slice differently. It gets created when someone solves a real problem for real people at scale. And when you do that, you don't help a few thousand people with a grant. You change the baseline for billions of people, permanently, and the solution keeps getting cheaper every year.
A check gets spent once. A solved problem stays solved.
Gates-style philanthropy is going to fade in the coming decades. Not because the people are evil, but because the model is slow, political, captured by intermediaries and optimized for image. Gates himself has announced his foundation will shut down by 2045.
Musk-style philanthropy will become the standard. It just doesn't call itself philanthropy.
It's called entrepreneurship. Value creation. Capitalism.
The most generous thing you can do for humanity is build something that makes an impossible thing ordinary.
Ask the guy who just got his voice back.
Mary, your own facts don't match your headline.
You charged O'Keefe and Higby with felonies, but you admitted they stopped short of signing the oath, received no ballots, and cast no votes. You even said it's "pretty clear they did not intend to vote."
So what did they do exactly except expose your fraudulent system?
Ask about a vouching system that lets one registered voter vouch for 8 strangers — on camera. That's not disrupting democracy, that's exposing how weak it is.
Meanwhile, in that same August primary, federal prosecutors charged ten non-citizens with actually registering or voting illegally. Where's your felony press conference for that?
And let's be clear: we're a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy. In a republic, the law protects legal votes it doesn't punish journalists for asking questions.
You won't tolerate questions. You will tolerate a broken system. And you turned your comments off because you know Minnesotans see right through it.
James Edward O’Keefe, 42, and Cam Higby, 26, both face felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft.
Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated.

Alex Smith says he was ashamed of his leg and bitter toward football until rehabbing alongside wounded service members changed his life
“In my rehab process, I'm so thankful I got this thing called the Secretary of Defense designation, which is this deal for civilians that are deemed to have what's called a warlike injury. And so I got access to military medical care because there were no athletes for me to look to that had gone through something like this at that point. When I had half a leg and they're moving body parts down and it was like, hey, so and so did this and came back to play. There was nobody. The only examples of any positivity were people in the military through the decades of wars in the Middle East and roadside bombs and IEDs that there were a lot of servicemen and women that had severe lower leg injuries, severe tissue loss, severe breaks. Which through the infection and the hit was kind of like where I was at”
“So I got to go down and do my rehab at this military center. It doesn't matter what branch of the military you're in. If you have a severe limb injury, this is where you go. And it's in San Antonio, Texas. And it's called the Center for the Intrepid. And it changed my life. Again, I was super ashamed of my leg. It was grotesque looking and I kept it covered. I was ashamed of it. It represented everything that I had lost. I was really kind of struggling with my new normal. And I'll never forget going down there from day one. The military believes in this thing called group suck. Doing hard things, it's better to do them together. And so when you go down to this rehab center at the Center for the Intrepid, there are no private rooms. There's just one great big open room and it's surrounded by windows and everybody does their rehab together”
“I'll never forget my first trip there again. I couldn't even stand on my leg. I got it all wrapped up. I've got this steel cage bolted keeping it together. And there's double amputees, there's triple amputees, there's terrible burn victims. And nobody is hiding behind their scars. Everything's out in the open and people are moving forward with their life. And the physical therapist, Johnny Owens, walks behind the desk and gets a football and comes back to me and he has me get down on my good knee. And again, mind you, I'm very bitter towards football at this point, and I got three young kids, two boys that love to play catch with their dad, and I have not touched a football from the day of my injury. And now this is four months later”
“He brings out a football, throws it to me again. I'm on my one good knee on the ground, and he has me start playing catch. And this is from 10 feet away. And I'll never forget the light bulb going on of like, I can still play catch. Like, what else can I still go do. And it was the only place in the world where those guys were egging me on and goading me into you can do more… And that's the first day I said I wanted to play again was that day”

98-Year-Old Man Buys His First Self-Driving Tesla Model Y And Is Blown Away
“I've been driving it probably 2-3 months, and it's not made an error in its driving. In fact, the other day it stopped - a chipmunk was crossing the road, and there was no other traffic, and it did not run over the chipmunk … For somebody that's 98-years-old, this is a real treat.”
How is Newsom not In jail?
🚨 Gavin Newsom's “Broadband for All” program was supposed to deliver internet access to millions of Californians.
$2.2 billion later, it’s connected just ONE underserved community…and they already had broadband to begin with!
As governor, I'll CANCEL these bloated, never-ending projects—from high-speed internet to high-speed rail—and give taxpayers their money back with a tax cut: Your First $150K Tax Free.

🚨 HOLY CRAP, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMED the FDA purposefully lied to the people for nearly 2 decades against dietary fats to help Big Pharma
People avoided fat and ate MORE SUGAR, so Pharma could sell them more drugs
RFK Jr. just declared open WAR on added sugar
“They suppressed the data for 16 years…Those in the low-fat group had higher rates of heart attacks!”
“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and burdened with ultra-processed foods, and what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale!”
“Those days are OVER. We are telling people the truth about food.”
MAHA WILL WIN!

The shoes are legal. The name on the side of them is not.
Caleb Williams went out and bought a pair of cleats with his own money, from a company he has no deal with and makes nothing from, because of what is underneath them.
They are made by a company called Caddix, and the part that matters is the studs. The founder, Jack Rasmussen, says they are built to release under what he calls injurious load.
In plain words, the stud is supposed to let go of the grass before your knee does.
That is aimed squarely at the injury that ends careers without anybody touching you. A man plants a foot, changes direction, and the foot stays while the rest of him turns.
Caddix says on its own website that the shoes are designed to reduce the rotational force on the knees and ankles.
So the quarterback of the Chicago Bears, the first overall pick in 2024, bought them himself and wore them against the Atlanta Falcons.
The NFL fined him 11,941 dollars.
Not for the cleats. The cleats are fine.
He did not cover up the Caddix name on the outside of them, and league rules only let a player show a logo belonging to a company the NFL has a marketing deal with. Nike. Adidas. Under Armour.
Then he wore them again the next week against New England without covering them.
A second offense is 23,882 dollars, which is exactly double the first one. The league has not said yet whether that one is coming.
So the rule is not about his knees. It is about whose name is allowed to be seen on a football field, and the answer is the names that pay for it.
Caddix says it will cover the fine, and any more of them.
Now be straight about the other side of this, because it is the whole reason you are reading about a shoe company you had never heard of yesterday.
Caddix just got more attention from one fine than it could have bought. The company is new. The injury claims about those studs come from the people selling them, not from the league and not from a medical journal, and I cannot find anybody independent who has gone and tested them.
Offering to pay the fine of a quarterback you have no contract with is a very good day at work for whoever runs their marketing.
Both of those things can be true.
The company is getting a windfall out of this. And a 24 year old is still paying out of pocket for equipment he believes keeps him on the field, and getting charged almost twelve thousand dollars for the crime of leaving the name visible.
He has not stopped wearing them.

Once it becomes clear, it cannot be ignored.
As soon as Elon Musk began examining NGOs receiving USAID funding, opponents responded with attacks on Tesla facilities and by labeling him a Nazi.
That reaction served as the confirmation that he had identified a real vulnerability, exposing the underlying issues.
The response was intended as a warning.
Musk remained undeterred. He is a hero.

Profesor ekonomii na uniwersytecie stwierdził, że kiedyś oblał całą klasę. Ta klasa upierała się, że socjalizm działa i że nikt nie powinien być biedny, a nikt bogaty, że wszyscy są równi...
Nauczyciel powiedział im: „OK, przeprowadzimy eksperyment z socjalizmem w tej grupie.
Wszystkie oceny będą uśrednione, a każdy dostanie tę samą ocenę, więc nikt nie oblany i nikt nie dostanie 10”.
Po pierwszym teście oceny zostały zsumowane i podzielone przez liczbę studentów, i każdy dostał 8.
Studenci, którzy uczyli się intensywnie, byli zdenerwowani, ale ci, którzy uczyli się mniej, byli zachwyceni.
Gdy zbliżał się drugi test, studenci, którzy wcześniej uczyli się trochę, uczyli się jeszcze mniej, a ci, którzy uczyli się intensywniej, powiedzieli sobie, że oni też chcą „darmowego prezentu”, więc też uczyli się mniej.
Średnia z drugiego testu wyniosła 6.
Gdy przeprowadzono trzeci test, średnia ocena wyniosła 4. Ku wielkiemu zaskoczeniu wszystkich studentów, wszyscy oblali.
Nauczyciel powiedział im, że socjalizm w końcu zawiedzie, ponieważ gdy połowa populacji widzi, że nie musi pracować, bo druga połowa się nimi zajmie, a gdy ta połowa, która pracowała, zdaje sobie sprawę, że nie ma sensu już pracować, bo inni korzystają z ich pracy, to jest koniec każdego narodu.
Ta historia może być bajką, a nie faktem, ale morał jest prawdziwy.
