Elon vient de répondre "Yes" à ce post de Liz Truss.
"Ce n'est plus une bataille entre la gauche et la droite. C'est une bataille entre la civilisation et la destruction."
Un seul mot. Et pourtant tout est dit.
Nous vivons un virage civilisationnel. Le genre de moment que les livres d'histoire résument en une page, mais que ceux qui le vivent sentent à peine passer.
Et dans un virage, il n'y a que deux options : on tourne, ou on va dans le mur.
Le mur, c'est de continuer. Continuer ce que le projet globaliste fait depuis des décennies. Continuer avec le bullshit socialiste qui promet l'égalité et livre la stagnation. Continuer à se mentir, collectivement, parce que la vérité coûte plus cher en dîners mondains qu'en points de PIB.
Le virage, c'est le bilan. Un vrai. Sans filtre. Ce qui marche, on le garde. Ce qui ne marche pas, on l'arrête. Peu importe qui l'a voté, peu importe qui ça vexe. On sort du signal de vertu pour revenir au réel. Et le réel ne lit pas vos communiqués de presse.
Maintenant, un message à ceux qui profitent du système tel qu'il est. Vous pensez être du bon côté de la machine. Mais quand une civilisation percute le mur, il n'y a pas de place réservée en première classe. Un système injuste ne s'effondre pas seulement sur ceux qu'il écrase. Il s'effondre aussi sur ceux qu'il nourrit.
Et le plus important. Je ne suis pas pessimiste. Je construis de l'IA tous les jours, et je vois ce qui arrive : une abondance comme l'humanité n'en a jamais connu. Le futur peut être une utopie. Je le crois sincèrement.
Mais l'utopie ne tombe pas du ciel. Elle se construit. Et seules les civilisations qui ont encore le courage de regarder la réalité en face y auront accès.
Si vous voulez vraiment vivre dans ce futur-là, faites très attention à ce que vous défendez aujourd'hui.
Le virage, c'est maintenant.

Major U.S. airlines that have announced @Starlink adoption:
• American
• Southwest
• United
• American
• Frontier
• Alaska/Hawaiian
Airlines that haven't:
• Delta
• Jet Blue
American Airlines has just officially announced that it will be installing SpaceX’s @Starlink across its entire mainland fleet of 1,030+ aircraft, up from the previously announced number of 500.
Installations will begin in early 2027 and use Starlink's Performance Aero Terminal, which can deliver speeds of up to 1 Gbps per terminal.
“Our customers have told us that dependable connectivity can make a meaningful difference in how they spend their time in the air," said American’s Chief Customer Officer Heather Garboden. "Whether they are livestreaming a favorite show, gaming, collaborating in real time on an important work deal, scrolling social media or online shopping, Starlink will give our customers countless options to make the most of their time while traveling. Just as importantly, it provides the foundation for future innovations that will further enhance the customer experience."

🚨 MILTON FRIEDMAN (1978): Young lawyer asked Milton about when it is okay for a Govt to force a free citizen to act.
Did you get the nuance in Milton's question about the difference between "society" and "govt"...
Do you think a man should be free to sin?

Truly Incredible...
Retired Navy pilot Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley revealed today that the hijacked flydubai flight exceeded its maximum operating speed by a staggering 100 knots while plunging 20,000 feet in just 30 seconds.
But just how extreme is that?
What is 100 knots? It’s exactly 185 km/h (115 mph). This means the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was flying 115 mph OVER its absolute structural red-line limit!
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫: Commercial jets are built tough, but they aren't fighter jets. Exceeding max speed by this much causes "flutter"—violent aerodynamic vibrations that can literally rip the wings or tail right off the fuselage mid-air.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞: Surviving a dive this steep and fast without the airframe snapping apart under the extreme G-forces is virtually unheard of.
The fact that the passengers and crew managed to subdue the attacker and pull the plane out of this violent dive before it disintegrated in the sky is an absolute miracle.
"For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone." — Psalm 91:11-12
Thank God for His protection today! 🙏💙

Atlas Bar in Singapore has an interior inspired by the Art Deco skyscrapers of 1920s and 1930s New York.
The room rises three storeys, with painted murals, ornate detailing and a huge central tower housing its famous gin collection.
The scale and decoration are deliberately dramatic, inspired by the grand hotel and skyscraper interiors of the Jazz Age.
Even the dress code is strict but classy and elegant. From 5 pm, no shorts, sportswear, flip-flops, or sandals. Men must wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes.
It’s a great example of how architecture can determine the character of a place.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Peter Thiel just pointed out a pretty brutal difference between America’s young wealthy and Germany’s.
Looking at the 50 richest people in each country who are Gen X or younger, Thiel says 9 of 12 Americans made their own fortunes.
Germany? All 20 inherited theirs.
“Not a single person did something new, made some new money, built a large new scalable company.”
Germany isn’t running out of rich people. Thiel thinks it’s running out of people getting rich by building something new.

What Is To Be Done?
I propose a simple plan:
Big AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can – but not allowed to achieve regulatory capture, not allowed to establish a government-protect cartel that is insulated from market competition due to incorrect claims of AI risk. This will maximize the technological and societal payoff from the amazing capabilities of these companies, which are jewels of modern capitalism.
Startup AI companies should be allowed to build AI as fast and aggressively as they can. They should neither confront government-granted protection of big companies, nor should they receive government assistance. They should simply be allowed to compete. If and as startups don’t succeed, their presence in the market will also continuously motivate big companies to be their best – our economies and societies win either way.
Open source AI should be allowed to freely proliferate and compete with both big AI companies and startups. There should be no regulatory barriers to open source whatsoever. Even when open source does not beat companies, its widespread availability is a boon to students all over the world who want to learn how to build and use AI to become part of the technological future, and will ensure that AI is available to everyone who can benefit from it no matter who they are or how much money they have.
To offset the risk of bad people doing bad things with AI, governments working in partnership with the private sector should vigorously engage in each area of potential risk to use AI to maximize society’s defensive capabilities. This shouldn’t be limited to AI-enabled risks but also more general problems such as malnutrition, disease, and climate. AI can be an incredibly powerful tool for solving problems, and we should embrace it as such.
To prevent the risk of China achieving global AI dominance, we should use the full power of our private sector, our scientific establishment, and our governments in concert to drive American and Western AI to absolute global dominance, including ultimately inside China itself. We win, they lose.
And that is how we use AI to save the world.
It’s time to build.

This is a major milestone in the age of AI and toward our ultimate goal of completely reversing aging!
@InSilicoMeds developed the first AI drug, Rentosertib, now in a Phase 3 clinical trial, and it just showed something remarkable: a reversal of biological age in people!
Six different aging clocks, developed by six independent groups, all showed reversal after just 12 weeks of treatment, with participants measuring 3–4 years younger biologically!
Congratulations to my friend Alex and the entire @InSilicoMeds team on this landmark achievement!
My dear friends, I am happy to report the publication of the most important paper in my life to date (we have several great papers coming out but this is very special). Tomorrow, I will present this paper for the first time at the Nature AI Healthcare in Paris and will post a longer post on this story and its broader implications for how to conduct clinical trials. Please read it and comment on it.
Many thanks to the great co-authors of the study and everyone who contributed. Many thanks to the many reviewers (friendly and unfriendly) for spending so much time and helping make it better.
