Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.

Here it is, kindergarten level, without the moral sleight of hand. Rent is something you chose to pay for yourself. A job is something you chose to accept from someone else. Those two things are not connected. Your landlord doesn’t owe you cheaper rent because you’re bad with money. Your employer doesn’t owe you a higher wage because you want a nicer life. Wages are not based on what someone needs. They’re based on what the job is worth and what someone agrees to do it for. If a business “buys fewer yachts,” no extra money magically appears for wages. That money was never earmarked for you. It belongs to the owner, who took the risk, put up the capital, and might lose everything. Employees don’t share losses, so they don’t get automatic claims on profits either. If you want more money, you have three options: Get skills that are worth more Find someone willing to pay more Start your own business and pay people whatever you think is “fair” What you don’t get to do is redefine someone else’s success as your entitlement. “Buy fewer lattes” is advice about your choices. “Buy fewer yachts” is a demand about someone else’s property. That’s the difference.

Muslim couple comes to America says that Christmas is a ‘fake holiday’ and that they refuse to acknowledge it. They never reject our welfare, only our traditions. I say deport every last one of these ungrateful freeloaders.

Why are state governments funding needles & drug paraphernalia for addicts instead of funding useful items like seeds for home gardens? Why do we prioritize & reward bad behavior, instead of incentivizing good behavior?

Capitalism didn’t fail. It was sabotaged. By central planners. By bailouts for insiders. By endless money printing. The Davos elite rigged the system and called it the Great Reset. The WEF agenda uses fear—climate alarmism and inequality—to centralize power over resources, production, borders, how you live, and what you’re allowed to say. We don’t need their rebranded socialism or autocratic control. We need Capitalism back. Real markets. Merit. Accountability. Decided by people, not unelected bureaucrats.

Make the universities liable for student loans. Will see a change in behavior very quickly.
Our federal student loan system is allowing financially iIIiterate students in their early 20s to take on up to $200,000+ in debt. And that debt cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. These degrees often have a pathway to very mediocre careers of $40K/year.

ELON DID WHAT 80% OF TWITTER COULDN’T: MOVE FAST AND ACTUALLY FIX IT Just weeks after taking over Twitter, Elon asked a simple question: “Why do we need three server farms?” Engineers pushed back - they said backups, caching, all the usual reasons. Elon wasn’t convinced. He pointed to the Sacramento servers and said, “Get rid of them.” They told him it would take six months. He said six weeks. Then six days. When they said no, he fired them. The next day, on a flight to Austin with his two young engineer cousins, one joked, “Why don’t we just take the servers out ourselves?” Elon turned the plane around mid-air, landed in Sacramento, and went to the data center. Asking his bodyguard for a pocket knife, he then ripped open the floor vents and cut the cables himself. That’s how the Sacramento server farm died - and why 80% of Twitter’s old staff are gone.

Shakira claims living as an immigrant in America means living in constant fear. Shakira has made roughly $200 million living as an immigrant in America. Sounds horrifying.

So tired of this *I’m ultra-wealthy I should pay more in taxes schtick* You literally can voluntarily pay more taxes on the treasury website right now. Instead of bragging about how you’re both rich and benevolent, make the additional payment and be quiet.
Tax me more. I've been saying it for a long time. Even rational Republicans agree, because they're looking at the numbers.

It’s illegal to feed wildlife in national parks because they get dependent on handouts and forget how to survive. Kinda sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Trump was correct. The Brown University shooter came via the Diversity Visa Lottery Program. It gives 50k visas, randomly, to people from underrepresented countries. It’s bad policy. Permanent residency should be given based on merit. America is a community, not a charity.
The terrorist came into our country through what is called the "Diversity Visa Lottery Program," a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.
