Make our own advanced semiconductors? We can’t, quickly. It takes three to five years to build an advanced fab. And the key equipment needed is supplied solely by a Dutch firm.
Risking Taiwan’s and South Korea’s supply while making Europe angry with us is not so bright. 2/2

Good day, Mr. Musk,
The US is not South Africa. Nor is it England pre-Cromwell. You may not understand these distinctions fully.
For example, we prefer judicial independence, even when we disagree with specific rulings.
Your admin can likely explain how things work here. Please ask.

I mostly disagree with RFK Jr. But reducing herbicide and pesticide use may produce good outcomes.
I have a family member that cannot eat gluten in the US. This person has zero issues in Canada and Japan and minor issues in France.
This is a tiny sample size, but I will bet this is not uncommon.

Politics: Silly, unintended consequences.
POTUS edict: Two sexes exist. Here’s how to tell.
Scientists: We’re all female or non-binary, then.
Edict: Non-binary isn’t an option.
Ergo: All US residents and visitors are female, and lesbian, including POTUS and the First Lady.

After my recent overseas travel, it was bizarre to see two Austin city police officers, patrolling a sterile airport space, each armed with:
Club, Tazer, pistol, and fully automatic rifle.
