Je suis Français.
Ma boîte est américaine.
Et aujourd'hui, 4 juillet, jour où l'Amérique fête ses 250 ans, je veux dire les choses simplement : j'aime les États-Unis.
Pas par posture. Par lucidité.
Parce que vous avez gardé ce que l'Occident a produit de meilleur, et que trop d'Européens ont oublié.
Vous respectez la création de valeur. Chez vous, réussir n'est pas un péché à expier mais une preuve qu'on a rendu service au monde. Votre rapport à l'argent est sain : ce n'est pas une honte, c'est de l'énergie qu'on remet en mouvement.
Vous êtes des joueurs, pas des victimes. Quand quelque chose casse, vous demandez « comment on répare » pas « qui est le coupable ». L'Europe, elle, a fait de la plainte un sport national et de la victimisation une identité. C'est notre vraie maladie.
Vous incarnez encore les valeurs de l'Occident. Le dépassement de soi. La liberté individuelle. Et qu'on l'oublie jamais le fun. Un peuple qui ne sait plus jouer, rêver grand et rire de lui-même est un peuple qui a déjà commencé à mourir.
Vous avez bâti les meilleures technologies des 40 dernières années. Internet, le mobile, le cloud, le spatial, l'IA. Pendant que d'autres écrivaient des rapports sur l'innovation, vous la livriez.
Maintenant, deux conseils. De quelqu'un qui vous aime.
Méfiez-vous du poison communiste qui s'infiltre chez vous. Il ne porte plus l'uniforme rouge. Il a muté. Décroissance, wokisme, globalisme : mille visages, une seule logique culpabiliser le fort, punir le créateur, dissoudre l'individu dans la masse. Ne le laissez pas entrer par la porte de derrière au nom de la vertu.
Continuez d'accélérer.
Vous n'êtes pas qu'un pays, vous êtes le dernier grand accélérateur de la civilisation. Créez les conditions pour que l'Occident finisse par se réunir autour de trois piliers : la propriété, la liberté individuelle, le capitalisme. Vous en êtes le moteur. Mais n'oubliez jamais que l'Europe reste votre socle culturel vos racines sont ici.
Alors joyeux anniversaire, l'Amérique. Restez joueurs. Restez libres. Restez debout.
Au travail. 🇺🇸
November 2023. The most powerful companies on Earth lined up to make him kneel.
Disney. Apple. IBM. Comcast. They pulled their money and waited for the apology.
The whole press corps wanted one word out of him. Sorry.
Sorkin leaned in and offered him the exit. Just walk it back.
Musk: “If somebody’s going to try and blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go fuck yourself.”
No retraction. No cleanup post at 2am. No quiet calls begging the brands back.
They wrote that it was over. That he’d finally buried his own company.
He was worth around $230 billion that night.
This week SpaceX went public.
He became the first trillionaire who has ever lived.
Forbes puts him at $1.1 trillion. Almost four times the next richest person alive.
This was never about him.
The people threatening you only hold the power you agree to hand them.
Every time you apologized to keep the peace, you taught them the price was you.
He refused to pay it once, in front of the entire world.
The world blinked first.
The crowd never remembers who knelt. It remembers who refused to flinch.
The only person who can ever make you beg is you.
The Barnstable County Assembly on Cape Cod, mostly comprised of anti-White leftists, was forced to take public comments yesterday on a new measure that would hamstring ICE from enforcing immigration law in the area. A local patriot managed to show up between work shifts and delivered an incredible speech.
🏦 WATCH: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon joins @JimVandeHei on a new episode of THE AXIOS SHOW.
Dimon dives in on:

We’re launching a new @alphaschoolatx high school for aspiring entrepreneurs.
Our promise: Make $1m by graduation, or receive a full tuition refund.
Yes, this will be the coolest high school in the world.
And we're building the best team in the world to make it happen.
We’re looking for 2-3 exceptional coaches to help us guide the students towards achieving this aggressive but achievable goal.
You won’t be giving lectures or assigning homework.
You’ll be grilling them on their P&L, driving them to the car wash they bought, critiquing their email funnels, pushing them to do things 99% of the world doesn't believe is possible.
Job posting is live and DMs are open.
The American Hockey player Layla Edwards who won Gold didn’t have enough money to bring her parents with her to the Olympics so someone started her a Go Fund me and it raised $60 thousand with $10 thousand of that from Jason and Travis Kelce!
Every kid in America should understand that this country was built by strong, passionate young men who were willing to fight to the death for their freedom.
That spirit has never disappeared.
It is deep inside all of us.
God. Family. Country. 🇺🇸
@Michael_Khouw@amazon Tried to add same item for a total of 5 bags (maximum quantity to be ordered), estimated tax is $0.00. Delivery address is San Jose Bay Area (South Bay).
My CISO called me at 3 AM last Tuesday.
"We caught someone."
I asked, "Caught them doing what?"
He said, "Typing."
Let me explain.
We have an employee in IT. Great worker. Always online. Never complained. Perfect Slack etiquette.
One problem.
His keystrokes were arriving 110 milliseconds late.
One hundred and ten milliseconds.
That's 0.11 seconds.
The average American remote worker has 20-40ms of latency.
This guy? 110ms. Every. Single. Keystroke.
My security team ran the numbers.
That latency doesn't come from a bad router in Ohio.
That latency comes from Pyongyang.
Our "Senior DevOps Engineer" was a North Korean operative.
Running his work laptop through a laptop farm.
In America.
While he worked from a government building.
In North Korea.
He passed the interview. He passed the background check. He passed the vibe check.
He did not pass the speed of light.
Here's what people don't understand about physics:
Light travels 186,000 miles per second.
But it still has to go through China.
And China adds latency.
Since April, Amazon has caught 1,800 of these attempts.
Eighteen hundred.
I called an emergency meeting with my board.
I said, "We need to implement Keystroke Velocity Auditing across all remote employees."
They said, "That sounds invasive."
I said, "You know what else is invasive? The Democratic People's Republic of Korea in your Jira tickets."
They approved the budget.
We now monitor keystroke timing to the microsecond.
If your latency exceeds 60ms, you get a call from HR.
If it exceeds 100ms, you get a call from the FBI.
We've already flagged 47 employees.
Turns out 44 of them just have bad Wi-Fi.
3 of them are "still under investigation."
The lesson?
You can fake a resume.
You can fake a background check.
You can fake an American accent on Zoom.
But you cannot fake the speed of light.
Physics is the ultimate background check.
Hire accordingly.
@HannaH94459220@texasrunnerDFW One should know that magnesium is in tandem with calcium in the circulatory system which is critical for three major functions: regulating blood pressure, maintaining heart rhythm, and preserving the health of blood vessel walls. Still, do not take supplements blindly.
@texasrunnerDFW Magnesium glycinate was prescribed by my neurologist mainly for my migraine headaches as I refused to take "stronger" medications on a daily basis (I have a cocktail of medications though if I got migraine attack).
If you thought Tik Tok was a manipulative, you ain’t seen nothing like a free, open source Chinese AI model designed to influence what Americans think.
The HUGE point people miss about the AI wars between our foundational models and those from China, is that if it’s perceived their models are better, and cheaper, China will open source theirs. Our companies, and global developers, will use them for most everything.
At that point, not only will China have won the AI tech war, they will have a trojan horse to influence how we all think
Scary
