China is absolutely dominant when it comes to renewables. People do not understand the implications of this long term.
Cheap power equals:
- Cheaper manufacturing
- Cheaper transport
- Lower cost of living
With AI + robotics, these advantages go 10x. Imagine robots producing cars with 0 cost solar

#China is forecasted to install 66% of the world’s solar capacity and 69% of wind capacity in 2025.
This would be the third consecutive year that 🇨🇳 added more solar and wind than the rest of the world.

Would be REALLY cool to see a Democrat do anything remotely similar to this. But for now I guess we get strongly written letters as Democracy falls…
But hey, at least we still have our norms? Right @schumer.senate.gov

It’s amazing to see the energy and excitement for the #NoKings parade yesterday!
But the real question is, what’s next? Will Congress do anything? Will the courts stand up to Trump? Or will it be more of the same

This is so deplorable
"Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” has $185bn for ICE, which is more than the annual military budgets of the UK and France combined. Wherever ICE raids trigger protests, Trump can send in the troops." My column.

Trump is coming for the ‘enemy within’
Sending the National Guard into LA is the administration’s clearest step yet towards authoritarianism

What are Republicans even trying to do now?
Trump coin, Tax cuts, Qatari jet, etc. all make sense -> they’re just getting richer.
Kidnapping kids from schools, banning vaccines, etc. -> what’s the point? How does this benefit them?
Are they just trying to be the worst humans on the planet?

Finally some good news! The Trump-Musk relationship was bound to break up eventually, you can’t put 2 egomaniacs together and expect it to last forever.
Candidly, I’m surprised it lasted this long

The end of the internal combustion engine?
Global sales of petrol and diesel cars peaked in 2017/18 and are now falling.
The shift to electric and low-carbon transport is well underway—and EV sales are rising fast.

Incredible that 77M people voted for Trump. Only about 1% of households make this much. At least 76M people voted against their self interest because they hate others (immigrants, women, LGBTQ, China, etc.) more than like themselves. Truly astounding folks

I’m in Barcelona and wow this place is incredible. The bike lanes, buses, super villes just incredible design. Everything is convenient and safe with no almost no cars. They too inefficient.

I can't top this one.
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

Markets jumped 10%+ today because tariffs were paused. This makes 0 sense. Trump’s tariff game = enormous volatility.
When running a business, reducing risk is a top priority. How do I know where to invest if my costs might jump 30% tomorrow? Fundamentals are severely damaged by the Trump admin

You know, the place that just let all of their employees go because they “don’t serve the public interest”
