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.

There’s a storm brewing in America, and this week was just the spark.

Millions of us were raised on freedom, family, faith, and the right to live our lives without government breathing down our necks.

We support President Trump.
We respect his courage.
But we are not a cult.

Our loyalty belongs to God, our families, our country, and the future we’re fighting for.

That means when something is wrong, we call it out — even from people we support.

Silence is how nations fall.
Courage is how they rise.

I’m just like you.
Working.
Stressed.
Fed up.
Watching politicians forget they work for us.

So get loud.
Be proud.
Speak truth.
Post more.
Push back with your voice.

We are not here to be ruled.
We are not here to be silenced.
We are not here to watch our children inherit a weaker country because we were too afraid to speak.

For our families.
For our country.
For our future.

Who’s with me?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Are you tired of Democrats setting the agenda and getting their way even when Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House?

Tired of the “we don’t have 60 votes in the Senate” excuse?

Me too

It’s time to nuke the filibuster

Pass it on if you agree

[Brooke Gossett @luvgod]

Dearest President Trump @POTUS ….

Please consider using your constitutional authority to immediately reconvene the Senate…. because the American people are getting real tired of watching Republican leadership stall, pout, and play games while important issues sit untouched.

America needs strength and action right now…. not childish behavior and excuses from the very people we sent there to get things done.

Your time in office is moving far too quickly to allow the Senate to sit frozen in dysfunction…. we need the Senate in line and moving now while there is still time to secure the agenda the American people voted for.

The Senate already played games with pro forma sessions to block recess appointments…. so now it is time for real pressure and real leadership.
Keep them in session…. force accountability votes…. expose publicly who is blocking the agenda…. use the bully pulpit every single day…. rally the American people directly against the obstruction…. pressure the Republican conference to replace weak leadership if necessary…. and make every senator publicly answer for why they are delaying the will of the American people.

Vice President @JDVance should stop treating the role of President of the Senate as ceremonial and start occupying that chair daily until business gets done…. whether Senate leadership likes the pressure or not. Be present…. preside over the chamber…. force urgency…. force visibility…. and make senators publicly conduct the people’s business instead of quietly disappearing into procedural games and vacations while the country waits.

This is not the time for weak Republicans, timid leadership, and business as usual in the Senate…. this is the time to fight with urgency and use every lawful constitutional tool available to move the agenda the American people voted for….
even if it means exploring powers, procedures, and constitutional pressure points that have rarely been used in modern history.

The American people voted for action…. not theater….. the Senate Republicans are playing games with us….
Please don’t let them!

Thank you for continuing to fight for the American people.
You are the best president in history!!

I could not agree more!!

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Dear GOP,

I know I'm new to this movement.

I'm not anyone important, I'm just a regular voter who started paying attention.

...and I'm trying to figure out WHAT IN THE HELL is going on with you

Because honestly... I'm really confused.

From where I am, it looks like you're sitting on the EASIEST WINS IN MODERN POLITICAL HISTORY and for some reason... you just won't take them.

Why aren't you forcing daily votes on clean, single-issue bills that everyone already agrees on?

Mandatory voter ID.
Defunding fraud.
Defunding the Taliban.

Stuff that polls through the roof and the stuff normal people agree on.

Why aren't you at LEAST trying to win?

I don't understand.

Why are you betraying the same people who gave you a mandate... a few months ago???

Why are you still funding fraud?!
Why are you still funding NGOs that HATE conservatives?!
Why are some of you trying to push MASS AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS?!

I keep trying to assume there's some smart reason I just can't think of... some masterful long game

...but it doesn't look like a long game to me

It looks A HELL OF A LOT like corruption.

It looks like you'd rather lose comfortably than win for the America people, uncomfortably.

It looks like you're more scared of making Democrats a little sad, than you are of disappointing the people who put you in power.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how that math works in your favor... unless there's corruption at play.

You tell people like me to show up.

You have said things like...

Speak up!
Vote!
Donate!
Volunteer!
Bring our friends along!

AND WE HAVE!!!

BUT WE NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, FOR US.

Use the power that was JUST given to you and FORCE THE VOTES.

Make the other side go on the record OVER AND OVER.

Enforce the talking filibuster.
PASS THE SAVE ACT!!!
DEFUND THE TALIBAN.
STOP PUSHING MASS AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS.

You won... would you PLEASE start acting like it?!

Because if you're not even going to try, I genuinely don't know what we're doing here.

Sincerely,

A brand new conservative who isn't going anywhere, but really, REALLY needs you to start fighting.

[Dave Keep, PhD @davekeepphd]

Yes!!

[Dave Keep, PhD @davekeepphd]

Hard to believe my fellow Virginia’s voted for this!

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WTF?! Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger announces an executive order to BLOCK federal law enforcement agencies from going to polling places

You can't make this up. She's signing a PRO-FRAUD executive order to help rig elections!

"We are putting out from the state level some guidance across public spaces, including polling places of how Virginia state employees or people who are working in support of Virginia's state run elections can react to in this particular case, you know, federal agents who might be appearing at a location and where the worry is that they're principally there to intimidate or scare people."

Make no mistake: she views ANY voter fraud arrest as "intimidation" and they will try to cheat.

Spanberger supports fraud!

Send them in anyway. 🔥

[Dave Keep, PhD @davekeepphd]

Yes!!

[Congressman John Rose @RepJohnRose]

It’s not enough for Republican senators to tweet their support for the SAVE America Act.

It’s not enough to offer platitudes to the American people.

It’s not enough to hold “robust debates.”

Frankly, the online grandstanding is getting old. Actions speak louder than words, and right now, Senate Republicans are doing a lot more talking than acting.

@toddstarnes

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

James Madison described the powers of the federal government as “few and defined” and those reserved to the states as “numerous and indefinite.”

We’ve been dangerously drifting from that understanding since the 1930s.

The drift has been most evident in areas now most fraught with waste, fraud, and abuse.

If we honored the Constitution’s limits on federal power, there’d be very little waste, fraud, and abuse in our national government.

Share if you’d like to see a “constitutional reset,” in which any government function that’s not obviously and necessarily federal under the Constitution would be returned “to the states respectively, or to the people,” as the Tenth Amendment specifies.

I received a strike on TikTok for posting this video.

It was flagged under civic and election integrity as “misinformation”…

@Glenn1656263 @GuntherEagleman @ROCKCRAWLN Keep them away from public education! Take them to church. Teach them biblical values. Live those values in front of them. Be authentic and always prioritize integrity!

[Dave Keep, PhD @davekeepphd]

@GuntherEagleman Congratulations! My seven children, all adults, are also MAGA.

Foundational to their politics, though, is there faith! I thank God each day for his grace in teaching them how to navigate the complexities of this journey we are all on.

[Dave Keep, PhD @davekeepphd]

@EricLDaugh @AndrewKolvet Praising God for this!
