A New Way to Fund Universal Basic Income | MOONSHOTS

One of the earliest executive orders from this administration was to order the Secretary of Treasury to explore setting up a sovereign wealth fund. And it's not difficult for me to imagine a scenario where the US Treasury does take golden shares, call it 5 to 10%, in OpenAI and Anthropic to complement its existing portfolio. And then some amount of time from now, maybe sometime in the next few years, there's a great rebalancing. We get our sovereign wealth fund, but rather than being a basket of 20 or 30 or 40 tech-oriented or strategic companies, Instead, the federal government eases into, say, an S&P 500 or a total market index, gradually liquidating its holdings in the individual companies in favor of a total market index. And that, children, is how we got our universal basic income, or equity.
