An unelected European woman has the power to hand Zelensky 3.3 billion euros of our money to buy weapons which will kill fellow Europeans. She did the exact same with Pfizer Boss Albert Bourla (a different weapon, similar destruction) This should NOT be constitutionally possible.
I just had a phone call with President @ZelenskyyUa.
Tomorrow we will disburse €3.3 billion for missile and drones in Ukraine.

UNBELIEVABLE!
Lagarde personally called Greece’s PM to kill Binance’s almost-approved MiCA license.
That was not a ruling. It was a fckn phone call.
Regulators were ready. Press release drafted. Photo-op booked. Then the demon from Frankfurt rang and the whole thing died so dollar stablecoins wouldn’t embarrass her digital euro project.
Unelected central banker running a shadow veto over national regulators. That’s not “financial stability.” That’s communism in a pantsuit: pick winners, crush the outsider, protect the state coin.
Europe keeps choosing the fortress over the future 🤡

I call myself a cyborg. The truth is simpler: I’m a husband, a patient, and someone who got another chance to be heard. Thanks @Neuralink.

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

Construction just started on Belgium’s largest battery park.
Green Turtle in Dilsen-Stokkem:
• 700 MW / 2.8 GWh
• 640 Tesla Megapack 3s
• ~€700 million
• Tesla doing full EPC + long-term maintenance
• Target online: March 2028
Built on a former zinc factory site, connected to Elia’s high-voltage grid. Enough peak output for ~385,000 homes.
This is the latest big Tesla Megapack move in Europe. Not the only one.

Other Tesla Megapack projects announced in Europe over the last months:
NatPower Italy + UK (June)
• 25+ GWh first phase across 5 projects
• Pipeline target 100+ GWh
• Estimated build $4–5B
• Tesla supplying Megapacks, EPC, and Autobidder
• Biggest European Megapack deal so far
Zhero + H1 Holdings Italy (Sept)
• Framework for ~3 GWh of Megapacks
• First tranche: 200 MW of shovel-ready plants
Storm / SPIE Ruien, Belgium (May)
• 180 Megapack 3 units, ~700 MWh
• Project value >€100 million
• Installation from Nov 2026, commissioning by end 2027
Green Turtle is the largest single site now breaking ground. NatPower is still the much bigger programme.

Far too many people are worried about super HIGH intelligence destroying humanity, when we should be worried about super LOW intelligence destroying humanity.

NEWS: The FCC has officially granted SpaceX approval to provide international telecommunications services needed to support @Starlink Mobile.
This gives SpaceX the U.S. regulatory authority to carry Starlink Mobile communications between the U.S. and other countries - another key step toward expanding the service internationally.
Facts over feelings.
Belgium’s mobility minister just confirmed it in parliament: after 24.6 million km, Tesla FSD (Supervised) cut non-highway accident risk by 9.6x.
Nearly 10 times safer than human drivers.
The smear campaign can eat that. European countries blocking the Oct 6 TCMV vote are choosing more deaths over proven safer driving.
After the negative press earlier this week, there is the fact that @Tesla FSD is 10x safer than human drivers in Belgium. And that is what matters: not a perfect system, but still avoiding accidents and saving lives. This is what minister @AnnickDeRidder also knows. hln.be/mobiliteit/bijna-tien…
Yesterday Belgian media reported that Fluvius was told by the Flemish government to prepare the phase-out of the gas grid, including later forced disconnection of the last households left on a street.
Today about 2.4 million connections still depend on gas for heat and hot water. Two in three Flemish homes.
The 2050 horizon is 24 years. That is 100,000 conversions a year. Or 50 full renovations per working hour. Miss the goal one day, and the next day the backlog grows.
Belgium installed about 35,000 heat pumps last year. You need 100,000+ a year to make this real.
Installer shortage. Renovation cost. A power grid that cannot carry a winter peak of this size. Simple math our politicians refuse to do.
That tells you enough about how unreliable and how questionable this government has become under N-VA and the socialists.

Ms von der Leyen, there is no greater racist against Europeans than you!

Europe needs change immediately.
The solution is simple. The EU must disappear as a political power. Every country must regain full independence within its own borders.
European countries no longer exist in any real sense. They remain only as names on the map. They are ruled by corrupt and criminal EU leaders and socialist control freaks.
Most Europeans move like sleepwalkers, following these leaders toward collapse.
A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship
Pair crime overrepresentation by origin with net fiscal contribution and European governments could design the most rational immigration systems they’ve ever had.
Open, fast entry from countries whose migrants are both low-crime and net contributors. Tight limits from countries whose migrants are high-crime and a fiscal drain. High-skill exceptions still allowed, just not automatic.
Illegal entrants get deported immediately. No exceptions, no waiting.
Update the lists every 5–10 years. Safety and solvency first.
🇪🇺 Great data and actually I think we should use this kinds of data to completely turn around Europe's immigration policy:
- We should have super easy inflow for immigrants from countries whose previous immigrants have shown low crime rates
You're from Japan? Just fly here and you can stay forever
- We should then almost completely ban any inflow from countries whose previous immigrants have shown high crime rates with instant deportations
You're on the top of that list? You're not coming in, sorry. We have to keep Europeans safe first!
Then you can add special exceptions for people in those worst rated countries for high quality talent, think AI engineers, neurosurgeons, high IQ people, with no crime records. But that process will take a little bit longer than just flying into Europe
Then every year you check the data and you adjust the policy based on last 5 or 10 years of criminal history of immigrants from those places
I think this is the most common sense policy and it'll make Europe much safer
