✔️ Bestehende Bohrungen haben Lithiumvorkommen mit einem heutigen Gegenwert von mehr als USD 500 Millionen nachgewiesen; die Ressource wurde nach dem international anerkannten NI 43-101 Standard bestätigt. Das Explorationspotenzial des Gesamtprojekts liegt x-fach darüber.

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems.

AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency.

This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work.

We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government.

Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution.

The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

While the world is distracted in Iran, psychedelics just had a massive win!

Trump just issued an executive order to boost research and accelerate drug approval processes

Congrats everyone, including Christian. I don't know anyone who's done as much as you for the industry

It's paid off my friend! 🎉♥️

Credit to @C_Angermayer for all his work in this space!! This is a revolution that is gaining momentum. Christian has worked tirelessly pushing it forward. (I am an @ataibeckley shareholder).

[Christian Angermayer @C_Angermayer]

Today’s Presidential Executive Order on #psychedelics marks a major milestone in the history of these valuable substances.

It corrects a fundamental mistake made in 1970, when President Nixon established the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and classified psychedelics as Schedule I substances - a designation that had no basis. For largely political reasons, these highly promising compounds were pushed out of the medical realm and into illegality.

Now, they are coming back - with force.

The executive order is directing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Department of Justice and other federal agencies to reduce the red tape and restrictions that have long stymied researchers and biotech companies in the field.

As a result, I expect drug approval processes to accelerate and become less costly.

I am very proud that @ataibeckley is at the forefront of this field, with one of the broadest pipelines in psychedelics, including clinical programs focused on DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, R-MDMA and – as previously disclosed - ibogaine and additional novel, discovery compounds in various stages of preclinical development.

Since I founded AtaiBeckley in 2017, and seed-funded @COMPASSPathway that same year, these two companies have raised more than $1.5 billion to advance clinical research and development of psychedelic therapies.

As access to capital was limited early on - since most investors dismissed the idea as crazy - I invested over $100 million of my own capital and have never sold a single $ATAI share (nor do I intend to).

The public sentiment around psychedelics as FDA-regulated drugs has gone from “this is a crazy idea that will ruin your career” to being on the verge of what the market anticipates will be the first regulatory approval of a psychedelic with COMP360… all in less than a decade. What a journey.

But we are still only at the beginning.

I strongly believe the world will benefit from the full spectrum of psychedelic compounds that demonstrate medical and commercial value. I also believe that delivery mechanisms and treatment duration are critical, as these therapies must fit within the commercial realities and infrastructure of the U.S. and global healthcare systems.

That conviction is exactly why AtaiBeckley has built such a broad and diversified pipeline with a focus on short-acting psychedelics:
https://t.co/YkpR93738B

Once approved, I expect physicians will determine which treatments are best suited to specific patient profiles. Over time, better data and real-world evidence will significantly improve this matching - delivering the right FDA-approved treatment to the right patient.

This level of presidential attention also reinforces another long-held belief of mine: the support – and potential use - for psychedelic therapies is far larger and broader than most people have historically assumed.

Take once more AtaiBeckley as an example. Most analysts currently model compounds like BPL-003 and VLS-01 primarily within treatment-resistant depression (TRD) - patients who have already failed at least two antidepressant treatments. But my own personal view (and ultimate vision) would be to progress to these treatments sooner, especially when existing treatments often have limited efficacy and significant side effects.

Given the favorable safety profiles and promising efficacy of psychedelics we are seeing in the clinical trials run to date, and based on my own extensive discussions with therapists who have worked with these compounds, I personally believe psychedelic therapies have the potential to become first-line treatments - and, over time, even potentially play a role in prevention.

Thank you, @realDonaldTrump, for today’s important signal of support, and @joerogan for driving it!

Most importantly, thank you to everyone working behind the scenes to make this possible today - and to the fellow drug developers advancing these therapies.

This has been, and will continue to be, a truly collaborative effort. You can all be proud of the meaningful difference you are about to make for the millions of patients in need.

What a ride! Congrats and very happy as an early Investor...🚀🚀🚀

Today @brexHQ is officially part of @CapitalOne !

When we started Brex, we always believed that how a company spends money defines what it becomes. Finance isn't back office, but the core of how every business decision gets made. With AI reshaping how companies run, there's never been a better time to rebuild business finance from the ground up.

Brex now serves tens of thousands of businesses, from 1 in 3 startups in the US to the largest companies on the planet, including all major AI labs. But we're still less than 2% of the way to bringing intelligent finance to the majority of US businesses, and we couldn't think of a better partner than Capital One to close that gap. Together, we'll build something truly unique: an n-of-1 combination of a fintech and a bank, unmatched in technology, scale, distribution, and brand.

This is a special day. The ceiling just got lifted. I'm so grateful to our team, customers, investors, and everyone who bet on us over the past 8 years. The opportunity ahead is bigger and more ambitious than we've ever dreamed. Onwards!

Children

My children:
-spend at least 6 hours a day outside
- are often exposed to the sun
- eat enough protein & fat & organic food as much as possible
- watch max 1 hour a day screens (mostly educational stuff on ipad)
- eat the occasional sweet stuff/junkfood as well, chocolate and pizza for example or sweets & cakes at birthday-parties
- do lots of exercise
- sleep from 20.00 to 06.00 every day, rhythm of the sun
- are exposed to 3 languages at home
- have 4 nationalities (2 different ones from each parent) so we raise them that the whole earth is their home and each different culture has beautiful things
- are free to do a lot, but know they should not cross the line when we say so, for example putting themselves in danger, being disrespectful, hitting other kids, things like that, they know that will have consequences

They are almost never sick, and recover quickly if they catch something
They are also vaccinated against heavy diseases (polio (which killed one of their grandparents), measles, etc), but they are not vaccinated against diseases which they can fight off themselves easily (influenza, covid, rotavirus, etc)

Fully respect if other parents do it differently
Fully respect if you raise your kids differently
Fully respect if you have other opinions or ideas on vaccines or food
Fully respect whatever you do

This is how we do it, and this is what feels good for us, and i recommend you do what feels good for you and try out many things

My son tried to wake me up at 3:30am today.

"Dada, are you awake?"

"Shhh, I’m sleeping.”

He pauses and whispers:

“Ok Dada, I’m being quiet now, do you want to play?”

I'll take this over a perfect 17-step sleep routine all day.
