I’ve been a fan of Elon Musk, the Engineer, Entrepreneur, and Humanist for as long as I’ve been aware of him. I haven’t always agreed with all of his positions or endeavors, but we’re both human and that is to be expected.
Lately he has been on quite the tear. His Space Exploration Company (SpaceX) has put more mass into earth orbit so far this year than every other launch provider (private and Government) combined. He took over three months off to organize and unleash the Trump Administration’s DOGE organization without pay.
He just impressed me again:
I think this rises to the level of Theodore Roosevelt’s 1915 address to the Knights of Columbus in which he said:
Americanism is a matter neither of birthplace or national descent, but of the soul and of the spirit.
Mr. Musk has passed that test while illustrating another naturalized citizen who has miserably failed it.
