@ShackelWill @NSWLabor That is really sad. I thought they were wanting action on climate change??

NSW Labor backs in gas over clean nuclear energy. Environmentalists should be up in arms. Why does @NSWLabor stand in the way of clean energy and clean fuel exports in the form of uranium?

I am 62 and I have owned the following vehicles in my life: 1963 Volvo 122S 1962 karma ghia by Volkswagen 1975 toyota corolla 1963 Chevy station wagon 1986 Honda accord LXi 1992 Honda Accord LXi 1995 Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer 2000 Eddie Bauer Ford explorer 1999 econoline Ford V8 stretch van 2008 Chevy suburban 2008 Audi A6 station wagon 2011 convertible mini cooper 2016 Ford f150 2018 240i convertible m series bmw 2006 Honda Accord 2008 Ford F350 Latiet diesel 2023 Tesla model 3 performance 2024 Tesla cyber truck foundation series 2026 Tesla Rwd model Y Ask me anything. I am an entrepreneurial female who has owned many businesses and have raised three lovely young men. I have owned, as you can see, my share of cars throughout the years. I am dumbfounded how anyone can buy anything but a Tesla after all I have lived and what I know. Feelings about Elon aside, which I do not fathom either, Teslas by 100x are the most amazing vehicles especially for the price of anything I have ever owned. Everytime I get in the cybertruck, I re live my awe all over again, from the tight turns it takes, how low I can lower it while loading, how it powers my cabin when power goes out, I could go on and on and on - about all the features I love about it besides the basic Tesla features. It is the most amazing vehicle ever produced. I am shocked that anyone can ever buy an ice vehicle if they really researched and knew what they were choosing. Safety, lack of driving fatigue you don’t even realize you have until you don’t have it anymore, quiet, peaceful ride experience, charging clean in my garage for $1 a night, lack of maintenance concern ever, service (I have found to be so pleasant), buying experience (literally takes 5 mins), ease of having others drive with key share, there are just so many things…… it’s remarkable to me when my Tesla is driving down the road by itself, and I look around at that 99.9% of those around me all driving themselves-how dangerous they are compared to me. No shade on them but the fact is, they are a huge liability on the road and I am not. Every accident I have seen in the past three years is an accident that would not have happened in a Tesla world. And I have seen a lot - even fatal ones. It’s so sad to me how the entire global public is being gaslit about teslas - it’s clearly a designed slowdown of adoption - because adoption that would happen if the truth was revealed, would be catastrophic to the old paradigm, the old supply chain, the unions, the car dealerships, the gas stations as they sit a top tanks they would have to be pulled out of the ground (expensive), the insurance and medical industry that makes so much money off the accidents. The list goes on and on about the disruption it would cause if the truth really got out. So the powers that be, lie, to slow down the adoption they know is inevitable, to give themselves time to pivot out of the already obsolete. I am a 62 year old female who has seen and lived a lot in my life - this current state of affairs regarding the wool being pulled over the eyes of the masses, regarding the utter superiority of Tesla- is the most profound phenomenon I have ever lived. It’s truly uncanny.

@EnergyWrapAU You can’t beat bad maths!

On storage… Osmond: 120 GWh AEMO: 650 GWh Blakers: 1,000 GWh It’s all ridiculous propaganda. These geniuses can’t even agree amongst themselves.

"Capitalism created the possibility of the win win win. It used to be a zero sum game where somebody won, somebody else lost. The biggest mistake people make, intellectuals in particular, they still think we're in a zero sum world. They're obsessed with some billionaires because Bernie Sanders thinks that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk somehow stole the money from the people. They don't understand that it's this prosperity machine that's creating more, not just for those billionaires, but for everything that they're touching. They're creating value for their customers, they're creating value for their employees. Their suppliers are flourishing, their investors are seeing their capital go up. It can be reinvested and compound. All philanthropy ultimately comes from business. That's where the profits are. Where does all the taxes come from? It ultimately comes from business as well. This is the engine that's lifting humanity out. The entrepreneurs are the drivers of that engine. Somebody like Elon Musk, he gets a very, very, very tiny sliver of the value that he creates for the whole world." — @iamjohnmackey

My take on the fuel situation, following the PM’s bizarre nothing-burger address last night.

@KimDotcom Oh yes! Please sell all your stock. I'll be buying. Thank you.

No offense. But sell now.

@XWalletLive @grok is this phishing?

@XWalletLive Grok is this phishing

I find X a balanced breath of fresh air. I get to see different points of view and realise dissenting viewpoints don’t make someone a Nazi. Elon doesn’t control the narrative; we the people do. I’m yet to see a positive article about Elon in the conversation, despite the guy doing so much good for humanity. Your publication is strongly left-leaning and never publishes anything remotely right unless it’s negative. I’ll stick with X!

Elon Musk's social media platform is boosting conservative content – and it's having long-lasting effects on how users see the world. @timothyjgraham @QUT theconversation.com/a-few-weeks-of…

@ICannot_Enough @RealDanODowd @Tesla @elonmusk Dan probably drove over 50,000km without incident before finally getting a minor swerve to complain about 🤣

@RealDanODowd @Tesla @elonmusk Bruh. This is all you can find to quibble about these days? 😑 Time to retire, Dan!

Watch @Tesla FSD v14.2.2.4 recklessly swerve for tire marks at 70mph on a highway. @ElonMusk your defective self-driving AI endangers innocent road users by making stupid irrational decisions. FSD should be banned from public roads.

@ShowerCapAM @FootnotesGuy teslarati.com/tesla-tops-fra… This will be the trend as Tesla vehicles get older. On top of the fact that every Toyota taxi with 500k+ has gone through 50+ oil changes, engine maintenance and moving part replacement that either doesn’t happen or is extremely rare in Teslas.

@Nuclearfriendly @FootnotesGuy Yep. Those millions of Toyota hybrids, so unreliable. It’s a wonder every single uber and taxi driver that drives them manages to get 500,000kms+ in them!

Look at how the EV boosters use hybrids to twist the figures... Hybrids are ICE vehicles with a regenerative braking feature. Steady growth. PHEV's also have an ICE engine, and a battery big enough for short trips. Strong growth! Full battery BEV's? Flatlined circa 10%. You can see here on this chart from Zecar. We sold just over 10k BEV's in December. We also sold that number in Feb and March 2024. Over 9k were sold in June 2023. So if no momentum has really built since over a few years, with a raft of subsidies and incentives in place (some still in place), the prospect that pure BEV's are a fad, or a niche product, is pretty strong. On the other hand, batteries teamed up with combustion engines seem to be showing real promise. In June 23, around 700 PHEV's were sold. December 2025 it was nearly 6000. So in the same window BEV's gained just over 10%, PHEV's gained almost 10X. Big difference. And I think this makes sense, because if you can avoid reliance on charging infrastructure, and treat a timely charge at low prices as a bonus that saves you fuel for many routine, commute-length trips, there's decent upside to a battery, without the massive system costs required to make charging a universal necessity. So no, electric vehicles haven't overtaken internal combustion engines. Pure battery EV's are stuck in a tiny niche that's not growing, and internal combustion vehicles are adding some popular electric features. zecar.com/reviews/austra…

Dr. Russell Barkley, drawing from 20+ years of twin studies, behavior genetics, and neuroimaging: Parenting isn't engineering a blank slate—it's shepherding a unique genetic mosaic already loaded with 400+ psychological traits that emerge mostly on their own timetable. You provide the pasture: safe, nourishing environments with adequate (not excessive) stimulation, protection from harm, and access to rich out-of-home influences (peers, schools, neighborhoods, community—the biggest shaper after genetics, per Judith Harris in The Nurture Assumption). But you don't redesign the sheep. No prenatal Mozart, no overload of crib toys turns threshold development into engineered genius. Extra stimulation past basics yields diminishing returns; "more is better" is a cultural illusion, not biology. Data is stark: Parental influence on core traits peaks before 7, plummets to ~6% in teens, hits zero after 21. Knowledge transfers via exposure—yes. Personality, abilities, temperament? Largely genetics + broader world. This frees parents from crushing guilt ("If my child struggles, I failed"). Instead: Curate wisely, then enjoy watching the individual unfold. Open the Chardonnay, kick back—the show is brief. Short of abuse/neglect/malnutrition, in-home tweaks are often trivial next to where you choose to live and the doors it opens. Shepherd, not engineer. Let them grow into who they already are. Does this shift relieve pressure—or challenge how you view "success" in raising kids?

@EnergyWrapAU They need to change their name to Wind and Solar ONLY advocates.

It’s very funny being booted off a climate council etc zoom for asking about nuclear. Makes my day!

@ICannot_Enough @elonmusk The media made it look like nobody likes Teslas. This chart shows this is not the case. Thanks James!

Tesla continued to dominate the U.S. EV market in 2025, according to Kelley Blue Book and Cox Automotive. $TSLA @elonmusk
