🚨 IT'S HAPPENING: Trump's about to COMPLETELY OVERHAUL how the Pentagon buys military equipment and space tech!
HUGE THREAD on how the military-industrial complex is about to get DEMOLISHED. You won't believe who's involved... 🧵
1/🧵 Tech billionaires and VCs are mobilizing to DESTROY the Pentagon's broken acquisition system. No more bloated contracts for $2,000 hammers to line the pockets of the swamp creatures!
2/🧵 @ElonMusk expected to play MAJOR role as "government reform czar" 🔥
The days of defense contractors ripping off taxpayers are OVER!
@elonmusk 3/🧵 NEW PLAYERS redefining the game:
- SpaceX
- Palantir
- Anduril
They're MASSIVELY bringing down the cost of EVERYTHING the government buys. Boeing and Lockheed are crying.
And they're forming a POWERFUL alliance to take on the establishment! 💪
@elonmusk 4/🧵 SHOCKING STAT: Less than 1% of $411B in defense contracts went to innovative startups in 2023.
Even more shocking: Boeing's SLS will cost $4.5 BILLION per launch, and isn't reusable! SpaceX's Starship IS reusable and costs $2-10 MILLION.
The swamp runs DEEP folks!
@elonmusk 5/🧵 EVEN WORSE: China is BEATING US in space tech investment for the first time ever!
While the establishment was sleeping, getting rich on fat cost-plus contracts with ZERO innovation, Beijing was busy WINNING! 🚨
@elonmusk 6/🧵 Trump's dream team includes:
- JD Vance (VP)
- Pete Hegseth (DefSec)
- Jared Isaacman (NASA)
All AMERICA FIRST patriots ready to drain the swamp and stop the rip-offs!
@elonmusk 7/🧵 The old guard is TERRIFIED. They know their gravy train of "cost plus" contracts is about to END.
Good riddance! 💰❌
@elonmusk 8/🧵 PREDICTION: The SpaceX model of fast development, real innovation, and ever-lowering costs will become the new standard.
Results matter more than bureaucracy and legacy contractors! This is how we beat China! 🚀
@elonmusk 9/🧵 But Congress (surprise!) might try to BLOCK these reforms. They love their defense contractor campaign donations too much! 🤮
@elonmusk 10/🧵 Bottom line: The space industrial complex is about to get NUKED from orbit. And it's long overdue!

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has canceled his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping and announced 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting Nov. 1.
His reason? Beijing just imposed global export controls on rare earths — the materials that power the modern world. 🧵👇
2/ China controls 92% of rare earth refining — metals essential for EVs, semiconductors, fighter jets, & submarines.
Beijing is weaponizing that — sending letters to nations warning it’ll restrict exports on “virtually anything.”
Trump called it “sinister and hostile.” ⚠️
3/ “They’re holding the world captive,” Trump said.
But he’s striking back:
💥 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports starting Nov. 1
💥 New U.S. countermeasures against Chinese trade blackmail
💥 Full economic response to defend U.S. supply chains & sovereignty 🇺🇸
🇮🇱🇺🇸 BREAKING: Celebrations erupt across Israel and Gaza.
Trump’s 20-point peace plan has reached its first major breakthrough: agreement for Hamas to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners — with a ceasefire to follow.
History is happening. 🧵👇
2/ After talks in Egypt, both sides agreed to the first phase.
📦 All 48 remaining Israeli hostages will be freed within days.
💥 Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be released.
🕊️ A formal ceasefire follows Israel’s ratification tomorrow.
Families are calling Trump a peacemaker.
3/ One hostage’s wife wrote on X:
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude... Thank you, President Trump.”
At Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, Israelis chanted “Thank you Trump! Thank you Netanyahu!”
That's EIGHT peace deals in eight months for Donald Trump.
New York AG Letitia James — who spent years failing to destroy Donald Trump for mortgage fraud — has now been indicted by a federal grand jury for...mortgage fraud.
The same woman who weaponized the law now faces justice herself. 🧵👇
2/ The indictment stems from an investigation into fraudulent mortgage filings.
James falsely claimed her Norfolk, Virginia home was her primary residence — to score a lower interest rate on a government-backed loan.
She allegedly lied on bank documents and property records.
3/ Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte first blew the whistle, alleging James may have also misrepresented a Brooklyn property to qualify for federal assistance.
He wrote:
“Letitia James falsified documents to obtain favorable terms and government-backed loans.”
