It's just like Elon Musk to suppose he should feel happiness when he himself is the source of so much misery to others. He reaps what he sows.

Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

I’m not a Texan, but it’s hard to ignore what’s happening in the Democratic Senate primary in the state. We’re all clocking it, right?

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
