[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

This guy just pulled off the smartest wealth transfer in modern history.

But nobody understands what he actually did.

Yesterday, Michael Dell announced $6.25 billion to fund "Trump Accounts" for 25 million American kids.

Media's celebrating it as philanthropy.

But it's not charity...

It's billionaires weaponizing government infrastructure.

Here's what happened:

Trump signed a law creating investment accounts for kids under 18.

Kids born 2025-2028 get $1,000 from Treasury. Parents add $5,000/year tax-deferred. Money goes into S&P 500.

Standard program?

Wrong.

The loophole:

"Qualifying organizations may make additional contributions that do NOT count toward the $5,000 limit."

Unlimited money can flow in.

Dell drops $6.25 billion for $250 deposits to 25 million kids in zip codes under $150k income.

The genius part:

Dell doesn't build a foundation, track recipients, manage investments, or handle taxes.

Treasury does ALL of it.

One check. Government does the work.

Brad Gerstner: "This is a unique platform created by government that can unlock major giving."

First time billionaires use FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE to distribute wealth.

Zero overhead.

The compounding:

$250 at age 10 → $8,000 by age 50

Add $100/year from parents → $72,000

Dell's $250 becomes a $72k nest egg. He gets full credit.

The contrarian take:

Dell's net worth: $148 billion.
Lifetime giving before this: $2.9 billion.
This move: $6.25 billion.

He DOUBLED his entire lifetime philanthropy in one transaction.

Why? Before this, giving 25 million kids money cost $1-2 billion in overhead.

Now government does it free.

Other billionaires are watching too: Uber, Zillow, Nvidia, Salesforce already committed to employees' kids.

This is the playbook now.

But what people miss?

Accounts are tax-deferred, not tax-free. Withdrawals get taxed when kids turn 18.

Government loans money, gets paid back decades later through taxes.

Dell's stock jumped 4% since announcement. $148B → $154B net worth.

He gained $6B in market value from a $6.25B donation.

Net neutral. Plus "largest commitment to US children" PR.

But Dell didn't invent this.

Brad Gerstner spent 4 years lobbying.

Dell waited until the infrastructure was built, dropped $6.25B, and claimed the narrative.

Why build rails when government does it?

What happens next:

Within 5 years, $100+ billion will flow into these accounts from other billionaires.

This becomes the primary vehicle for billionaire philanthropy.

Not because it's the most effective.

Because it's the EASIEST.

Write one check. Government does the rest.

For entrepreneurs watching this:

The lesson isn't about charity.

It's about INFRASTRUCTURE.

Dell hijacked an existing system and scaled instantly.

That's how you move $6.25 billion in 24 hours.

Don't build rails. Find existing rails and run your train.

The reality:

$250 doesn't solve poverty. But it gets 25 million families comfortable with investing and compounding.

75% of zip codes qualify. Including middle-class families who don't need it.

Which means this is either:

The smartest philanthropic innovation in decades.

Or the most sophisticated PR play ever.

Time will tell which one it is.

But one thing's certain...

Michael Dell just changed the game for how billionaires give money away.

And it all happened because the government built the infrastructure first.

“Just got back from Memphis… Memphis is a totally different place right now. For real. I did not know that President Trump was sending them guys down there… it’s police everywhere.”

“Crime has slowed down. It look like a totally different city..”

I voted for this!! 🔥👇🏼

@jeffkauffmanjr 100% agree, it often takes longer to define the market share but so much is learned in that defining period.

From us youngsters, thanks for the condensed guidance. I have slowly acquired half of them and stay motivated to activate more

In order to understand the full picture of how the world order is changing, I would urge you to watch this five-minute clip, or the complete 40-minute animated video called "Principles for Dealing with Changing World Order." And if you want an even more complete explanation, you can check out my book of the same title.

Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a trade tweak—they’re the first move in a full-spectrum reset.

$9.2T in debt matures in 2025. Inflation lingers. Alliances are shifting.

One announcement just set a dozen wheels in motion.
Here’s what’s really happening—and why it matters 🧵

[Daniel Halbrook @HalbrookDaniel]

@adalluch @Vancity_Bink Chinese are seeing China as better than the West.

China offers security, almost no taxes and it’s modernizing rapidly.

Many Chinese are leaving Canada for the same reason: high taxes, few services; increasingly dangerous and poor prospects looking forward.

@jeffkauffmanjr Is that bc the “something” isn’t something the masses have bern informed about?

Not sure I’ve ever seen a pro run 100+ yards to try to mark a ball before it rolls down a slope—and then it rolls down anyway because this game is cruel and unusual
