To the socialists of the world. To the communists of the world. To the progressives of the world. And to those who wear none of these labels, but govern exactly like you. Emmanuel Macron. Ursula von der Leyen. Lula. Bernie Sanders. And all the others. I know why you keep going. Your ideology is what holds up your standard of living, your status, your prestige. Your positions, your budgets, your summits, your TV slots. Let go of the idea, and you let go of everything else. But look around you. Everything is burning. People are turning their backs on you. And even when you win, you win by a hair, in a country split in two. Nobody believes your promises anymore. Your numbers. Your "it's for your own good." You had won. For a while, you had really won. Then came Covid. Permission slips to go buy bread. Passes. People treated like criminals for asking questions. We all saw how far you were willing to go. The toothpaste is out of the tube. It's not going back in. So you're left with two scenarios. The first: keep going. You'll still win a little, here and there. An election here, a directive there, one more regulation. But you know where this leads. History is merciless with collectivism. Every time it has been pushed to its end, it ended the same way: shortages, camps, famines. There is no reason its global version will escape that fate. The second: finally look at the variable you never priced in. I'll grant you one thing. Before AI, you could almost be understood. The world looked like a zero-sum game: for some to win, others had to lose. So controlling, redistributing, rationing could pass for justice. That world is dying. For the first time in human history, real abundance is within reach. Energy, food, healthcare, housing, knowledge. Machines that work, research and build, day and night. The pie is no longer going to be split. It's going to grow. Enormously. And here's what you still haven't understood: your own life will be better the day your project ends. Yours. Your children's. You have nothing to lose by letting go. You have everything to gain. While you hesitate, entire nations stay poor because they're prevented from producing, building, creating. While you hesitate, men are sent into the meat grinder, in the name of values you only defend from air-conditioned rooms. Enough. Open your eyes. Get out of the way of entrepreneurs. Let Elon pursue his mission. Let those who create value grow the pie, instead of fighting over the crumbs. Because victory over a field of ruins is no victory. "Workers of the world, unite," someone once said. Builders of the world: build.
