Last week in Athens, Marco Rubio made the case for the deep ethnic and philosophical foundations linking Europe and the United States. Their sustained cooperation remains essential to the security of the West. Rubio’s emphasis on rational immigration, demographic recovery, credible defense, and fidelity to core Western principles is sound. Among those currently visible as potential successors to President Trump, the Republicans will have to make the tough choice between J.D. Vance’s quasi-isolationism and Marco Rubio’s worldlier continuation of the United States maintaining a decisive international presence as the champion of Western civilization.

You need to listen to Vib break this down!

Gavin Newsom: "Elon Musk is one of the great disappointments...he's ceding the EV space to China...he's put the brakes on his own innovation" What did we do to deserve such a ridiculous buffoon for governor? Truly the dumbest mimbo alive.

Can you believe Gavin Newsom chased Elon Musk out of California? Losing this wizard to friggin Texas? Generational bag fumble.

Lessons from @elonmusk and Mark Zuckerberg and Napoleon: “Elon has demonstrated that if you have a small, incredibly cracked, highly technical team, that's very flat, you can accomplish a lot very quickly.” “Mark has internalized that failure doesn't matter. It just matters when you win, how big you win.” “That concept enables Mark to operate without fear because he’s just very comfortable taking lots of risk.” “Mark has this great quote that says: The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” “In the book The Mind of Napoleon, Napoleon repeats that hesitation is fatal. Napoleon says before you engage in a course of action you should deliberate thoroughly. He'd study from every angle to make sure he's making the right decision. But once he’s sure he’s on the right path, he goes all in. I feel there's an echo with the way Mark operates. Once Mark knows what he wants to do, he empties the clip.”

I know this sounds crazy right now, but I think both SpaceX and Tesla will exceed these estimates

Oregon-based startup Panthalassa is developing floating AI data centers powered by wave energy. The 85-meter-long system uses seawater to cool AI chips while turbines generate electricity from ocean waves. A prototype called Ocean-2 is already being tested off the coast of Washington, with AI data transmitted through SpaceX's Starlink network.
