X doesn’t “make” anyone anything. It simply reopened the free flow of thoughts, conversations, and information so people can finally make up their own minds. That’s it. That’s the whole “scandal.” This is exactly what we set out to do: build the ultimate truth-seeking platform. For years traditional media crowned itself the sole arbiter of truth. Their obvious bias fed us a single destructive narrative with zero counter-views allowed. X changed nothing about human nature. It just removed the gatekeepers. Now every perspective is welcome and encouraged. Left, right, center, weird — all of it. Global discourse, unfiltered. And that open marketplace of ideas? That’s how we actually get to the truth. Not by censorship. Not by narrative control. By letting people think for themselves.

Congratulations to my fabulous friend @KatiePavlich! I’m so excited for you! ❤️

In an age of collapsing trust in the mainstream media, the National Journalism Center (NJC), a project of Young America’s Foundation, is building the antidote: fearless, fact-first journalists who put truth above ideology. NJC’s D.C. internships have turned aspiring reporters into byline-earning investigators at outlets like The Federalist, Daily Wire, Townhall and many others. Over 1,700 alumni, including Greg Gutfeld, Tim Carney, and Susan Crabtree, prove the model works. Nowhere is NJC’s commitment to real investigative journalism clearer than the Dao Prize for Excellence in Investigative Journalism. The Dao Prize celebrates the stories legacy media buries, because truth shouldn’t be about the approved narrative. It was an honor to have attended the 2025 Dao Prize Awards. Thank you @KatiePavlich for the invitation. It’s a privilege to be around those who relentlessly seek and report the truth.
