What if batteries never became waste?
Every end-of-life battery still contains materials with strategic value: lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese.
The future isnโt just recycling.
Itโs reuse, refine, rebuild โ keeping critical materials in circulation for the next generation
Critical minerals are becoming the real bottleneck of the energy transition.
Mining wonโt close the gap fast enough.
Recovering whatโs already in circulation will.
Thatโs the direction weโre quietly building at Phoenix Labs. ๐โป๏ธ
I didnโt use X/ Twitter at all a few years back. Now itโs my only social media.
Before @elonmusk it was quite fringe & artsy, now itโs the mainstream, in my opinion
Who else used it more now?

Letโs fucking go
Young men:
By meditating on these two images, and the time between them, you can unlock the secrets of the universe.
The road is fraught with peril.
But you have it within yourselves to tame the dragon.
Build.
Why doesnโt the UK have more startups?
Capital is fixed, technical talent is world class, tax incentives are great, visas mostly fine, university IP problems seem like theyโre getting fixed.
Free healthcare and social security net in the UK is a huge advantage that should make it dramatically easier to start companies vs US.
Thereโs probably still a lack of scale-up leadership/exec hires.
But, by far, the biggest barrier is cultural. Our national psyche doesnโt celebrate entrepreneurs and we have an extreme culture of risk-aversion. A huge majority of smart technical young people in the UK aspire to be lawyers or consultants or work in finance. These are safe careers with prestigious brands that guarantee people a safe, middle class lifestyle.
We need our brightest young people to aspire to take risk and create world changing companies and generate billions of pounds of wealth.
We need to help them believe itโs possible.
The arrest of @Durov is an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association. I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has descended to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications. It lowers not only France, but the world.
