Elon's path to Universal Basic Income vs. the one that already exists

Editor's Note: Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, the #1 personal finance book of all time with over 40 million copies sold, has spent decades teaching everyday Americans how the wealthy actually build income. He called the 2008 housing crash before it happened, warned investors to buy gold and silver well before their historic runs, and has been pounding the table on cash-flowing assets for over 30 years. Today, he'll show you an income play funded entirely by America's oil and gas infrastructure. One that's already paying some investors $25,000 a month and is the closest thing to universal basic income that may ever exist. Click here to see the details or read more below.



There are two possible paths to Universal Basic Income (UBI) in America.

Path #1: Wait for Elon Musk's robots to take over the economy, hope the government figures out how to redistribute AI-generated wealth, and pray it happens before you're 85.

Path #2: Enroll in what I call the Patriot Income Plan (P.I.P.) and start collecting 10% a year from America's oil and gas infrastructure immediately.

42 payouts a year. Deposited automatically into your account.

There are zero requirements on your end.

All you need is a photo ID, bank account, social security number, and permanent address. That's it.

One P.I.P. investor collects $4,800 a month. Another pulls in $25,000.

A guy named Weston says he collects $350,000 a year.

I can't verify these claims since they're from the wild west of the Internet.

But I don't doubt them either.

Musk has been tweeting about UBI for a decade. These investors have been collecting it.

The next P.I.P. payout is already on the calendar.

Enrollment is easy.

Warsh Just Put a September Hike Back on the Table

A day after a senator publicly pressured him to prove his independence, Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole speech pushed rate-hike odds from 35% to 57% in a matter of hours.

The Take

Markets had priced Friday's speech as a formality — a new Fed chair sticking to the same neutral, data-dependent language he's used since May. Instead, Warsh recommitted to inflation-fighting in terms markets read as genuinely hawkish, and September hike odds nearly doubled within hours. It's the clearest policy signal he's given since taking office.

Brazilian real's move against the dollar, same-day reaction

In his first Jackson Hole keynote as Fed chair, Kevin Warsh recommitted to the central bank's inflation-fighting mandate on Friday, in language markets read as considerably more hawkish than the deliberately spare public statements he'd stuck to since taking office in May. Futures markets moved fast: odds of a hike at the September 15–16 meeting jumped to roughly 57%, up from about 35% before he spoke.

The reaction didn't stay contained to US markets. Higher US hike odds raise external financing costs for other countries and tend to pressure local currencies against the dollar — Brazil's real weakened to R$5.196 on the news, a small, immediate example of how one Wyoming speech ripples outward within hours.

— the takeaway from Warsh's remarks, based on same-day market pricing

September Hike Odds, Same-Day Move

Before the speech35%
After the speech57%
Net move+22 pts

This lands one day after a senator's public letter, covered here yesterday, pushing Warsh to prove his Fed independence rather than serve "the President or the elite." A genuinely hawkish, inflation-focused speech is, if anything, awkward evidence against that specific criticism — though critics could just as easily argue a September hike lands hardest on ordinary borrowers, not on anyone powerful.

Markets, Briefly

Thursday's session was a tech-only rally: the Nasdaq gained 1.6% and the tech sector ETF XLK rose 3.2%, while 10 of the S&P 500's 11 sectors actually finished lower, all on the strength of Nvidia's reassuring outlook. Risk assets gave some of that back once Warsh's hawkish tone landed Friday, with gold falling 3.41% and bitcoin down 3.14% on the day.

Worth Remembering

Gold's 3.41% single-day drop lands just days after a trader sold roughly 116,000 GLD call options betting the metal's historic rally was running out of room. It's one data point, not proof of anything — but it's exactly the kind of session that trade was built for.

Whatever "independence" ends up meaning under this chairmanship, the first real signal Warsh has given markets was a hawkish one — not a dovish one.
