@andyhelbig @magnushambleton @klingefjord 💯🎯. I am sure this will happen eventually, just waiting for that tipping point when the cost of inaction finally exceeds the perceived cost of action for the politicians. Frustratingly; the Ministry of Finance keeps pushing back on NBIM’s sdesire to do privates and VC. 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

@Ronanchamberss 🎯 from the other day…

@andyhelbig Spot on. BTW @dealroomco and @Prosusgroup ran some numbers on this and showed how so much of our best talent is still locked up in the old economy. They focused on AI talent, but I’m sure the pattern holds for Eng talent more broadly. Slide 17 here https://t.co/hAR4wOVC4p

@kirbyman01 @a16z Congrats, Bryan! 🚀💪👏

@sGianella But how are we going to know now if it’s really you in the videos you post going forward, or Sora? 😅

@mr_james_c See last sentence

[Tom Wehmeier @twehmeier]

@mr_james_c On it

[Tom Wehmeier @twehmeier]

Sigh. The unseen ‘tax’ here is the very real reputational damage this (and other wild regulatory statements) cause to the European tech industry and the knock-on impact on capital and talent flows felt by those actually seeking to innovate and build from Europe.

[Alex Chalmers @chalmermagne]

This from the FT is a peak example of the European war on dynamism. There’s no social or economic problem that isn’t solved by more tax and more regulation. 🧵
