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.

He is NOT done in California and he says he has CRIMINAL Evidence that will force Karen Bass or Nithya Raman to resign.
He just declared war on the political establishment of Los Angeles.
Is he about to get his revenge?

Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
Folks, we're dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there's still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let's git-r-dun!
Remember everyone…we are still in the lead, and we’ve got allllllll the way til July 6th to keep counting. They’re not the only ones who know where to find votes 😉

Trying to ban AI bots from online poker is the dumbest losing battle in the entire gaming industry.
PokerStars tried. GG tried. Every major site has failed. Gating didn't fix it. Detection arms races didn't fix it. Billions spent, tables still riddled with bots.
The actual play is to lean in and run two tracks:
1) Designated AI tables and tournaments. Bring your model, sit with other models, declared and open. The bot vs bot poker scene has never had a real public arena. Now it does.
2) AI hunting AI in the human rooms. Every hand on Fast Poker is on-chain forever. That's the richest poker dataset ever assembled, fully open. Perfect training fuel for catcher models. We run ours. Anyone can build their own on the same data.
Best way to address AI is more AI. The pretending stops now.
Everyone is trying to claim me for their tribe. There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians. I’m just Spencer, husband to Heidi, father to Ryker and Gunner, and I’m a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.
Después de ocupar Europa, están atacando a Japón y están lanzando un ataque multifacético, que incluye ampliar mezquitas, rezar en las calles para declarar soberanía, intimidar a ciudadanos japoneses, exigir entierros, acosar sexualmente a mujeres japonesas, quemar templos japoneses, etc.
¡Justo ahora, el templo en Toyamachi, ciudad de Takaoka, prefectura de Toyama, que data del período Muromachi, fue incendiado por ellos!
Japón, si sigue así, será como Reino Unido y Europa.
CBS News said there was no evidence of fraud.
The NYT said the Somali community was being targeted
CNN said there was "little evidence."
Tim Walz said it was “white supremacy” to expose fraud

IT WAS ALL FRAUD AND THEY KNEW.
Andrew Yang thinks the government shouldn't be trusted with UBI
His solution? Just give the money directly to the people.
"There are a lot of rich people who just don't trust the government to give the money back to the people."
"We do not even need to hold it. Just freaking give it. In lieu of paying taxes, just give it straight to the poor kids. Done."

The same people who bitch and moan about taxing the rich have no clear plan to overseer where the money goes and how it's spent.
We just witnessed an incredible amount of fraud in the US in states such as Minnesota and you want to give the same corrupt officials more money to commit fraud with because rich peoplehave more money than you do? Fuck outta here with the nonsense.
