Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya’s interview with Andrew Schulz just went viral.

He exposed the truth about Trump’s tariffs:

It's more than a trade war...he's completely redistributing American wealth.

Here are the untold secrets of the President's $750B gamble: 🧵 First, some context on what's really happening.

Trump's tariffs aren't just about punishing China.

They represent the most significant economic reshuffling in modern American history.

This is wealth redistribution on a massive scale - but not in the way most people think.

"Make America Wealthy Again"

Trump just launched an economic missile at China, Korea, Japan, and India.

Yet he specifically protected one industry from any taxation whatsoever.

Here's who really wins in Trump's economic power play (it could be YOU): April 2, 2025 - "Liberation Day."

Trump announced sweeping tariffs that sent global markets into a tailspin.

A baseline 10% tariff on ALL imports.

Higher rates for certain countries - China (34%) Vietnam (46%) Japan (24%).

But one industry was completely shielded...

In 1901, a Croatian immigrant drilled a hole in a Texas hill.

Everyone laughed...

Then his well erupted and shot oil 100ft into the sky.

Now that discovery has birthed Texaco, Gulf Oil, and more.

Here's how Anthony Lucas changed America forever: 🧵 Born Antun Lučić in 1855, Lucas grew up in Split, Croatia.

His father was a successful shipbuilder and shipowner from the island of Hvar.

He graduated with an engineering degree from the Polytechnical Institute in Graz.

But America called to him. Here's what happened next:

The richest region on Earth was created by accident:

50 million years ago, India slammed into Asia.

It lifted a seabed and killed trillions of organisms.

Today, it holds 48% of global oil reserves.

Here's how ONE geological accident created a trillion-dollar fortune:🧵 Before collision, India was an island continent, breaking away from a larger landmass 150 million years ago.

Drifting north at 15-20 centimeters per year.

But what happened next would change human history forever...

In 1970, the UK and Norway both discovered oil in the North Sea.

The UK sold their reserves to private markets while Norway kept state ownership.

This ONE decision created the biggest wealth gap in European history.

Here's the full story: 🧵 The discovery was monumental.

In the UK, BP found the massive Forties Field.

In Norway, Phillips discovered the enormous Ekofisk reserve.

Both nations didn't know how they would manage this newfound wealth.

But here's where everything changed:

The richest man in Africa gambled $23 billion on building ONE oil refinery.

Everyone laughed...

But 11 years later, he DOUBLED his net worth in 1 year.

Now he processes 500,000 barrels of oil daily.

How Aliko Dangote changed global energy markets forever:🧵 Let me paint you a picture:

2013. Oil prices are soaring. Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, can't refine its own oil.

Instead, they're spending billions importing refined products from Europe.

Most saw a problem. Aliko Dangote saw an opportunity.

This guy's oil field caught fire and he couldn't afford to put it out.

Instead, he asked Hollywood to film it.

They paid him $100,000.

But then he gambled the whole thing...

Here's how that fire sparked one of history's greatest comebacks: 🧵 The year was 1967.

A young Phil Anschutz watched his Wyoming oil well erupt into flames.

He'd taken over his father's struggling drilling company just five years earlier.

This well was meant to save the business.

Instead, it threatened everything...

In 1926, oil explorers started drilling through the home of America's craziest criminals.

Bank robbers and train bandits used these caves as their sanctuary.

But the criminals had no idea...

They were actually sleeping above a $1,000,000,000 treasure: Welcome to Robbers Cave, Oklahoma.

8,264 acres of rugged terrain in the San Bois Mountains.

For decades, it served as the perfect hideout for America's most notorious outlaws.

Why? Because it was nature's perfect fortress:

4,000 years ago, your ancestors accidentally discovered humanity's most precious liquid.

Most people thought it was worthless.

But those who understood its worth used it to build entire cities.

Here's the untold story of the discovery that shaped mankind: The story starts in ancient Mesopotamia, over 4,000 years ago.

The Babylonians discovered thick, black liquid seeping from the ground.

Most would've ignored it. But these ancient innovators saw something different.

What they did next would change the course of human history...

If you think all oil is created equal, you're wrong.

That's like saying all wine tastes the same.

The quality difference is creating massive wealth gaps between nations.

Here's why some oil-rich countries can't keep up & escape poverty: Most folks think oil is just... oil.

But that's like saying all wine is the same.

The reality is –– the quality of oil impacts everything from extraction to transportation to refining.

And the differences will blow your mind, but first you need to understand this concept:

They lied to you about retirement.

If you put $10,000 in savings, you'll make just $46 a year.

But there's a forgotten asset class that's creating generational wealth right now.

Here's the investment strategy Wall Street hopes you never discover: Let me share a shocking stat:

The average American has just $88,400 saved for retirement.

But experts say you need $1.46 million to retire comfortably.

That's a $1.37 million gap. And it's getting worse every year...
