Genghis Khan

Made in America

Golden Age

In a wild piece of salacious reporting from the Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk’s personal life was blown open by (allegedly) the most recent mother of his most recent child, Ashley St. Clair. Apparently, the father of at least 14 refers to his children as “legion,” recruits new mothers on X, and once suggested he and Ashley would have to start using surrogates to reach his ambitious repopulation goals for the human race. Now, I can’t speak to his personal life, which I know nothing about, but the army of children specifically? Sorry, it kinda slaps. I’m tired of boring billionaires. Founders of world-altering companies do not belong at Davos sipping wine by the fire in a cozy $1,500 sweater. They should be building new cities as monuments to their grand ambition, funding fringe, essential research, and — yes — building an army of genetically-modified superbeings. By all means, go after the man’s politics. But let him cook.

Made in America

Monday, Nvidia announced new plans to build AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S., partnering with Foxconn and Wistron on brand-new Texas plants. The news follows Trump’s weekend tariff threats on semiconductors but feels too sudden to have been a direct response (they’ve already commissioned 1 million square feet with a 15-month production plan). And while this is g...

Golden Age

The press is reporting that President Trump has taken a unique approach to decorating the White House in his second term, adorning the place with gilded flourishes a la Mar-a-Lago. There’s a golden Trump crest over an entrance, gold coasters engraved with Trump’s name on side tables… the President even flew out his personal “gold guy” from Florida (a cabinet-maker nam...
