Elon,
My 2026 goal is to set up a fund (ETF, mutual fund or even a corporation), solely investing in your ventures, so that retail investors can participate. Currently available solution are much too expensive and not liquid enough.
Can you please help me make this happen?

Evidence that woke isn't dead, peer review is problematic, and science needs to address deep problems in its culture: A grad student at Harvard conducted the first systematic, data-based study to document & explain the rise in gender dysphoria. His paper was rejected from a leading journal because, among other things, "Throughout the manuscript, the authors use language that is considered prejudicial and outdated (e.g., "natal sex" as opposed to "sex assigned at birth"). It is critical to follow best practice and guidelines surrounding gender inclusive language, particularly for research specifically on the topic of gender incongruence, expression, and identity."

People desperate for ad revenue have falsely claimed that the 100 wells I built for people in need don’t work anymore WITH ZERO PROOF! So I sent someone to EVERY SINGLE WELL to get video proof of them all still working over a year later. Checkmate liars. Proof - beastphilanthropy.org/i_buil…

Trump's decision to make billionaire private astronaut Jared Isaacman next NASA administrator is going to radically change the space industry.
Just another example of why we're about to see the most transformative Presidency since the founding of the country.
Jared heading NASA is not going to be 'business as usual'... 2025 is going to be insane!
