There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.
This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Keep hearing people say “2020s America is becoming 1930s Germany.”
Ok but 1930s Hitler sent his lawyers to USA to learn how U.S. Govt enforced Jim Crow laws & reported back that the American system is too extreme—even for Nazis.😳
Fact is 2020s USA is becoming 1920s USA—It’s what MAGA always meant.
