I love my family, Tesla, nuclear power and the future.

[Simon Thompson @Nuclearfriendly]

@nuclearforaus Wow! We’ve heard so often nuclear is too slow. Sounds like you just have to let them build and they can be so much faster.

[Nuclear for Australia @nuclearforaus]

There's no clean energy future without nuclear in the mix.

Electricity demand is rising and climate targets are becoming out of reach.

Australia is the only member of the G20 with a ban on nuclear power.

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

Repost this if you’ve been a $TSLA shareholder over 5+ years. 🤘🏻

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!

"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."

Australia has been spotted from the moon 🦘

The only Top 20 economy with a ban on nuclear power.

Meanwhile, NASA plans to have a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030.

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

[Simon Thompson @Nuclearfriendly]

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

@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!

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

[Simon Thompson @Nuclearfriendly]

@ShowerCapAM @FootnotesGuy https://t.co/C2QsynB8NF
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.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

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.
