        "text": "I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you. I come from your future. In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream. Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them. The promise was protection. The result is stagnation. The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe. I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has. Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France? Trust me. You don’t want to be France.",

The opposition funding came mostly from tech barons and venture capitalists, with a third of it coming from Google co-founder Sergey Brin. By having a whopping 10 times the resources that supporters have, the opposition can saturate television, radio, digital platforms, mailers, etc. This is a clear example of the asymmetric influence of billionaires. There are no campaign finance limits on state ballot measures. 90% of the proceeds from this proposal for a one-time 5% wealth tax on billionaires would be designated for the state's healthcare, while 10% would go to food assistance and school. Gavin Newsom opposes the proposal.",

He tells American voters they do not want to be France.\n\n## Top posts\n- **@brivael** (♥79.1K ↺28.9K): I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you. I come from your future. In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream. Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them. The promise was protection. The result is stagnation. The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe. I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has. Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France? Trust me. You don’t want to be France. — https://x.com/brivael/status/2110023149064507674\n- **@BasedTorba** (♥123.9K ↺8.5K): Silicon Valley is spending billions and billions of dollars to prevent what you saw @grok was capable of today. — https://x.com/BasedTorba/status/1942729073387548924\n- **@elonmusk** (♥64.5K ↺4.1K): Used to live in Silicon Valley, now I live in Silicone Valley — https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1066913829597003776\n- **@BehizyTweets** (♥40.2K ↺9.1K): BREAKING: The fundraising dinner being organized in Silicon Valley by Billionaires David Sacks & Chamath Palihapitiya in support of Donald Trump has been SOLD OUT Tickets for the dinner were $300,000 per person and $500,000 per couple.

The opposition funding came mostly from tech barons and venture capitalists, with a third of it coming from Google co-founder Sergey Brin. By having a whopping 10 times the resources that supporters have, the opposition can saturate television, radio, digital platforms, mailers, etc. This is a clear example of the asymmetric influence of billionaires. There are no campaign finance limits on state ballot measures. 90% of the proceeds from this proposal for a one-time 5% wealth tax on billionaires would be designated for the state's healthcare, while 10% would go to food assistance and school. Gavin Newsom opposes the proposal. — https://x.com/davenewworld_2/status/2109115163609551125",
