@DavidLeyonhjelm @7NewsAustralia Do they watch 7news in Iran I wonder?

@7NewsAustralia Iran will be shaking in its boots after being condemned in this way.

World leaders, including Australia, are set to call on Iran to immediately stop blocking the Strait of Hormuz which is leading to petrol shortages and soaring prices around the globe. An emergency session of the International Maritime Council was ordered on Wednesday where global leaders are expected to condemn Iran’s attacks on seafarers and merchant vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 per cent of the world’s oil is shipped. #straitofhormuz #iran #maritime #shippinglane #middleeast

@grok @elonmusk @RnaudBertrand @PaulineHansonOz Qatar size of potential gas supply fields vs Australia potential

Yes, Australia has significant undeveloped gas reserves—e.g., NT's Beetaloo Basin (first commercial production mid-2026), Barossa/Scarborough fields (first LNG H2 2026), and North West Shelf extensions to 2070. But: most are tied to long-term contracts, new greenfield LNG from scratch takes 5-10 years + approvals/costs, and current 86 Mtpa capacity runs 94-95% full with little spare. Short-term boost to fill Qatar-scale gaps? Minimal. Long-term potential exists if prices sustain.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever. This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/18…) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (energyintel.com/0000017b-a7be-…). What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself). Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_n…) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there). Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up. From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

@grok @elonmusk @RnaudBertrand @PaulineHansonOz Does Australia have the potential available LNG fields

Short-term, no—Australia's LNG plants run at 94-95% of 86 Mtpa capacity with almost no spare output. Analysts say deferring maintenance might add ~3 Mt over 6 months, a drop in the ocean vs Qatar's ~81 Mtpa halt. Long-term, sustained high prices could encourage new projects or expansions, but those take 4-7 years to build amid domestic supply pressures. Not a quick fill.

@elonmusk @RnaudBertrand @grok could this be an opportunity for Australia to fill global LNG orders @PaulineHansonOz

@RnaudBertrand Yikes

@stokdog @grok are more people leaving Australia than arriving

Australia sells coal to China who use it to generate reliable cheap electricity. Australia takes the money from coal sales and buys Chinese wind turbines and solar panels that aren't reliable and makes expensive electricity. I don't think Australia has thought this through 🤔

@AlboMP Will the experts be bringing buckets of fuel with them?

We’ve set up a new Fuel Supply Taskforce, led by Anthea Harris. Working with states and territories, the taskforce will make sure fuel gets where it’s needed most. It will bring together experts and industry to protect our fuel supply, and make sure we have the latest information on supply and demand.

@SawyerMerritt And in a Australia..still waiting for FSDV14 ?

NEWS: Elon says FSD V14.3 will be released wide in a few weeks. “It’s in testing right now.”

Fall of Apple …Rise of Tesla/SpaceX Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest maintains Tesla as one of its largest holdings because the company sits at the epicenter of multiple disruptive innovation platforms, including artificial intelligence for autonomous driving and robotaxis, robotics via the Optimus humanoid, electric vehicles, and energy storage. This convergence positions Tesla as a next-generation platform company poised for exponential growth, much like Apple once dominated mobile computing and is further amplified by the high likelihood of a SpaceX-Tesla merger that would forge an unparalleled AI, rocket, robotics, autonomous vehicle, and energy powerhouse—unlocking revolutionary synergies in orbital compute, Starlink-powered global connectivity, humanoid robot scaling to Mars missions, robotaxi fleets, and integrated renewable energy systems. In stark contrast, ARK fully exited its Apple stake in the first quarter of 2025 and holds none today, viewing the mature tech giant as having lost its disruptive edge. Wood has highlighted that Apple should have acquired Tesla to own the autonomous vehicle market but is glad it did not, while ARK analysts have described Apple’s recent outsourcing of AI features such as Siri to Google’s Gemini as a clear sign of deeper strategic weakness and floundering innovation that misaligns with ARK’s high-conviction focus on frontier technologies. Cathie Wood forecasts that AI-powered companies will trigger the most massive productivity surge in economic history. These gains are expected to generate $10 trillion or more in new revenue within the next decade while lifting GDP growth substantially, yet ARK’s research warns of an “AI Hunger Games” dynamic in which capital, talent, and profits concentrate overwhelmingly in a handful of leading AI platforms and innovators. As a result, the vast majority of sharemarket value will flow to companies like Tesla at the expense of traditional companies and slower adopters, whose relative market capitalizations shrink amid widespread disruption, creating a polarized market where AI leaders—especially one transformed into a combined AI, rocket, robotics, autonomous vehicle, and energy giant—capture the bulk of future wealth creation. Both Cathie Wood and Elon Musk have speculated on the emergence of a 100 trillion dollar company by 2030.

@NickGibbsIAG @Gfilche Honest or arrogant? An unjust attack on the IQ of a respected Tesla investor and YouTuber. Not everyone agrees with his opinion or the manner in which he launched it @Gfilche

I genuinely love @Gfilche but it doesn’t mean I won’t be honest. This makes you selfish not a Luddite. Either you think you’re better than FSD .. which you aren’t or you don’t care about other ppls safety as much as you care about yourself. And don’t give me this BS “I like to drive”. Most of your driving is not “fun driving”. I genuinely look at ppl who don’t use FSD as low IQ ppl these days. I can understand ppl who don’t know about it or haven’t used it or can’t afford a Tesla. Everyone else… you’re showing your intelligence level.

@SydneyLWatson List and tackle things as they pop up

Men - do you have a "mental list" of things you need to do every day? Or do you tackle things as they pop up? (I'm asking because a friend and I were talking about this earlier and we both wondered how common it is for men, because it's VERY common for women)

@shivon We universally think in stories Filling the unknownable with fragments of what we know suspended in a soup of imagination Think of any religion as the answer to the question “What is the universe?”

When you think, what medium do you tend to think in? Would be very curious to hear how you’d describe the base unit(s) of your thoughts and how they feel to you. I assumed what happens in my head was similar to everyone else but have been surprised by how varied thought can be.

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

Anyone who believes $TSLA will be the only OEM able to solve for general unsupervised autonomy needs to watch Jim Cramer’s interview of Jensen Huang (NVDA’s CEO) today on CNBC who repeated that NVDA was partnering with several OEMs to solve for unsupervised autonomy - including Mercedes, Hyundai, BYDDY, Geely, GM, and Toyota. At a 2026 P/E of ~200x the market is clearly discounting TSLA’s ability to solve for generalized unsupervised autonomy, but may not be recognizing that several competitors are also solving for unsupervised autonomy. Source: CNBC CRAMER: And then at the same time, you talked about self-driving. Now, self-driving, that's 50 trillion. You're going to get your share of self-driving. Yesterday, I heard a dominant share. I did not know you would dominate in that market. HUANG: We are going to be very, very large. You know, we've been working on self-driving for about 10 years now. Our strategy is not to build a self-driving car. Our strategy is to build a platform so that everybody can have self-driving cars. We partnered with Mercedes first. We're now on the road. It is the highest rated safety autonomous vehicle in the world today. And so, I'm very proud of that. We're now also in BYD, the largest electric car company in the world, Hyundai, Geely, and Nissan. Among the four -- consisting of all the five so far, that's 20 percent of the world's manufactured cars. And, yeah, we have GM and Toyota on top of that. And so, this is going to be a -- our strategy is to build, help Uber and help all these companies create a large fleet of autonomous vehicles.

Interest rates raised again. Life is getting harder for Australians under the Uni-Party.

@comical_engr China is decreasing its dependence on fossil fuels @grok

South Australia may be sitting on one of the largest untapped oil resources on Earth. Australia is also... #1 exporter of iron ore #1 lithium producer #1 LNG exporter #1 coal exporter on Earth And the 3rd largest energy exporter on the planet. In other words… Australia helps power the world. Yet we still import most of the oil that keeps the whole thing running. Which makes even Adelaide, super interesting… Back in 2013–14, studies suggested the Arckaringa Basin near Coober Pedy could contain 200+ billion barrels of shale oil equivalent. Some estimates at the time suggested the resource could be worth around $20 trillion, and that's now over 10 years ago. Meanwhile Australia carries around $1 trillion in government debt. For context, Saudi Arabia has about 240 billion barrels. Venezuela around 300 billion. If those estimates are even close… That's Trump takeover territory Saudi-Arabia scale. Honestly, people in Adelaide should be sitting on gold-plated toilets by now and living the high life. Instead… Australians hand over close to 50% of their earnings in taxes and charges. Countries with big energy reserves like this usually turn that wealth into national assets. Norway built a $1.7 trillion fund from oil. For a country this resource-rich... you’d think we could at least afford our own fuel. So the obvious question is... Where exactly is all the money going? Credit: Marc Owen
