My company is American.

And today, July 4, the day America celebrates its 250 years, I want to say things simply: I love the United States.

Not out of posturing. Out of clarity.

Because you have kept what the West produced that was best, and that too many Europeans have forgotten.
You respect the creation of value. In your world, succeeding isn’t a sin to atone for but proof that you’ve served the world. Your relationship to money is healthy: it’s not a shame, it’s energy set back in motion.

You are players, not victims. When something breaks, you ask “how do we fix it” not “who’s to blame.” Europe, on the other hand, has turned complaining into a national sport and victimhood into an identity. That’s our real disease.

You still embody the values of the West. Self-transcendence. Individual freedom. And never forget the fun. A people that no longer knows how to play, dream big, and laugh at itself is a people that has already begun to die.

You built the best technologies of the last 40 years. The internet, mobile, the cloud, space, AI. While others were writing reports on innovation, you delivered it.
Now, two pieces of advice. From someone who loves you.

Beware of the communist poison seeping into your midst. It no longer wears the red uniform. It has mutated. Degrowth, wokism, globalism: a thousand faces, one logic—guilt the strong, punish the creator, dissolve the individual into the masses. Don’t let it sneak in through the back door in the name of virtue.

Keep accelerating.

You’re not just a country, you’re the last great accelerator of civilization. Create the conditions for the West to eventually reunite around three pillars: property, individual freedom, capitalism. You’re the engine. But never forget that Europe remains your cultural foundation—your roots are here.

So happy birthday, America. Stay playful. Stay free. Stay standing.

Back to work.

Notes to Readers:

Good advice.

I was French once or twice… long ago.

Remember, folks, the French helped us during our Revolutionary War…
