The Muskian project is clear: dismantle democracy at all levels and resurrect pre-19th century plutocracy, where colonial-style corporations rule in place of public institutions. He calls himself the future — but this is as archaic as it gets.

Peu de personnalités publiques auront porté une critique aussi claire du système économique contemporain, de la dimension profondément inégalitaire de la crise climatique, et de la nécessité de justice sociale face au chaos du monde. RIP François.

On ne veut pas gâcher la fête, mais la recherche est-elle bien une priorité en France?

Les juges font leur job en disant le droit. Mais au jeu de la légitimité face aux politiques, ils plient aussi le match: 44% des français ont confiance en la justice contre 16% pour les partis politiques. 74% des Français estiment que les politiques sont plutôt corrompus. Verdict sans appel.

La France peut-elle devenir un refuge pour la recherche Américaine? Sans sursaut budgétaire on peut hélas en douter. Le budget de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche hexagonale rapporté au nombre d'étudiants est en chute libre, avec 24% de baisse sur la période 2012-2025.

Paris stands with the Stand Up For Science movement! No democracy without academic freedom. It starts with attacks on “wokism” or “islamo-gauchisme”—but the real target is liberal democracy itself. Time to push back ☀️@standupforscifr.bsky.social

Research on wealth inequality and climate change is just in its infancy. While there's work on income and consumption inequalities, wealth (closely tied to power) remains underexplored. We introduce a framework & highlight key open questions. Stay tuned!

The top 1% global wealth share could rise from 38.5% today to 46% in 2050 if the wealthiest entirely own the new low-carbon infrastructure. Conversely, if this is financed by a tax on the top 1% and then owned by governments or not-for-profits, the top 1% wealth share could drop to 26%.

The world's richest man just cut off $43 billion in aid meant for the world's poorest. Let's be clear: this is their project—absolute inequality. #DOGE #USAID

European billionaires who benefit from high quality public services, pay next to nothing in taxes as a share of their pharaonic wealth — and who now threaten to favor Trumpism over contributing a bit more to help solve a budget crisis in their home country. What do you call this?
