Top Gun: Maverick is a patriotic American film so many have been waiting for. The movie had a record-breaking opening weekend and seems to continue to bring in crowds and smash records. We recently reported on the film taking the title of the highest-grossing film in the U.S. this year.

As we previously wrote:

‘Non-Woke’ Top Gun 2 Becomes This Year’s Highest-Grossing Film in the U.S. After Topping $400M

Musk is the CEO and founder of SpaceX, so it is no surprise he is a fan of flying, even within the atmosphere. Musk has plans for SpaceX to get to Mars, and eventually colonize the planet.

Musk has recently made progress on his goal. SpaceX got environmental approval to launch the Mars rocket in Texas. With Musk’s ideas seemingly coming to fruition who knows what he will do next.

Although Musk’s companies are trailblazers, he faces scrutiny from power-hungry Democrat politicians who are angry that he left the party.

He also faces having to make tough choices in the midst of what appears to be an upcoming recession. He remains optimistic nevertheless, although he has been realistic about the economy too, in many recent tweets, warning of what may be to come in the near term.
