For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1 812701992

Even if you accept that she's somehow at fault, is the NZ Government okay that someone be imprisoned for 6+ weeks rather than simply refused entry and turned back? But also, DECLARE WHERE? Green Card holders don't complete arrival paperwork! 14311

Why is it one dog recognises pretty much every animal in all forms - film, still, cartoon etc (and barks at it) and the others just sit there and clearly don’t see what he does ? 000

Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Rain fade is a thing but it's power and frequency dependent. Wireless power transfer isn't aiming to replace current transmission methods, it's looking to open up new use cases as electricity generation costs plummet via PV solar and improved battery technologies. 110

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more. /1 211308488

Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 18/04/2026My understanding is that the lasers are used to detect incursion into the microwave beam rather than actually transmitting energy. 110

Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Funny story… I am a very minor investor in Emrod (which started in NZ btw).

Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026The cost of PV solar has dropped by something like 90% over the last 15 years or so and battery storage has been on a similar trajectory. Seeing just a tiny little bit into the future doesn’t seem to be a superpower among our policy makers. 120
Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Hell yes to all of the above and imagine the jobs it would create after the past few years of the Nat’s destroying them left, right and centre. 131
Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Interesting article. From where I sit Labour seem to be meandering their way to losing the election rather than National winning it. My previous offers to do an equally average job of Labour’s comms for half the price still stands 🙂 010
Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Good analogy and let’s not forget that many of the benefits or the scale thereof didn’t become fully apparent until long after the project kicked off and adoption started to climb. The same would undoubtedly be true for a large scale electrification initiative. 240
Brett Roberts @brettroberts.bsky.social · 09/04/2026National has been running a well-oiled social media campaign since late last year if my Facebook feed is anything to go by. Labour need to lift their comms game big time if they want to avoid losing in November. Their messaging is unclear and their reach insufficient imho. 100
