Forget the food...those burning solar panels are spewing out deadly heavy metals that all of you are now breathing in. Many of my neighbors in the Palisades had solar, and everyone in the fire zone tested for heavy metal poisoning. Trust me, you don't want to breathe this stuff.
Thanks to Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, LAFD heroes have to stay up all night putting out bum fires thanks to the 50K vagrants they let roam our streets. Our firefighters are overburdened and underfunded. Blame their leaders.
Karen was warned by the last LAFD Chief (whom she fired being honest) that LAFD was dangerously underfunded and couldn't keep LA safe. Karen cut their budget by $17M, then my town burned down. Now, they have to bring in resources from TEXAS to manage a single structure fire.
Why has she never commented on the thousands of dogs that she's killed in her own city shelters? What about the dogs being tortured and killed on Skid Row in plain sight? Notice how she only comments on something when it becomes a national headline? Never does anything, though.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared an emergency Saturday to ensure the city gets the resources it needs to fight a large warehouse fire that has sent large plumes of smoke into the air. https://t.co/NcV0eOYfjI
The El Segundo Times were very eager to dox where my children sleep; they thought that was newsworthy. Have they reported on the arsonists who set fire to my office in the middle of my election?
@Amy_Siskind This is the kind of rhetoric that makes it hard to take anything you say about Elon seriously. Listen, there are plenty of things to criticize him for, but saying he has added no benefit to others is just preposterous. At least argue with some semblance of common sense.
The Jews have been hated for being poor and for being wealthy; for being weak and for being powerful; for being too separate and for being too assimilated; for being religious and for being secular; for being stateless and now for having a state.
At some point, honest people must recognize that these contradictions expose something deeper than politics, economics, or sociology. The accusations change, but the hostility remains. The reasons are endlessly recycled because "the reasons" were never the real issue.
The Bible teaches that our struggle is not merely against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers and principalities. Throughout history, there has been a relentless hatred directed toward the people through whom God chose to reveal Himself, give the Scriptures, bring forth the Messiah, and through whom He has promised yet to fulfill His covenant purposes.
Better to recognize this before Yeshua, the King and Messiah of Israel, judges the whole earth.
I've often wondered what could possibly bring about the worldwide hatred of Israel that Scripture foretells.
Back in 2020, when I fell down some conspiracy rabbit holes, I noticed something. The bottom of those wells were always, and I do mean always, the most vile Jew hatred imaginable. It didn't matter where the conspiracy started. Eventually it led back to "the Jews control the world," blood libels, secret cabals, and every recycled lie that has been used for centuries.
What shocked me even more was how impossible it was to talk people out of it, even people who claimed to be Christians. The moment I defended Israel, or Jews in general, it was like a wall went up. I could physically see the hardness come into their eyes.
For six years I've been warning that these old conspiracies are not harmless. The same lies that have followed the Jewish people throughout history are being repackaged for a new generation. The old "Jews control the world" and "Jews eat babies" accusations never really disappeared. They just found new branding.
Watching how quickly these ideas spread has made me realize how a global hatred of Israel could happen. What once sounded impossible no longer does. The speed at which people embrace these lies, and the hostility they show toward anyone who challenges them, is genuinely frightening.
They won't even believe the Bible over some internet video that told them the Rockefellers control the whole world. That's the part that gets me. People who claim Scripture is their ultimate authority will dismiss clear biblical teaching the moment it conflicts with a conspiracy they watched online. At some point, the conspiracy stops being a theory and becomes their religion. The lens in which they view thr entire world.
Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.
Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.
Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.
Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.
Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.
La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.
Socialism doesn't work because you leave the money in the hands of a corrupt government. Even with the best of intentions, it still won't work. History has shown this again and again and again. Look at the Soviet Union. It started with promises of equality, but ended with shortages, poverty, corruption, and government control over every aspect of life. Do you know how many societies have tried this approach?
Bro, you're kidding, right? Genuinely, Elon pours the vast majority of his money right back into his businesses to build, innovate, and create new technology. You're not entitled to someone else's money just because they earned a lot of it. We live in a country of equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.
