🚨Warning to Canadians: Mark Carney just referenced Brazil as a model for Chinese car manufacturing "We are only interested in Chinese investment in Canada." — but look what actually happened there In Brazil, Chinese brands like BYD flooded the market with cheap EVs, promising "investment" and local plants. Instead: Severe labor scandals with "slave-like" conditions on construction sites (overcrowded dorms, confiscated passports, exploited workers) 📉Local auto industry hammered — jobs lost, suppliers crushed, forcing Brazil to hike tariffs again to protect what's left 📉Heavy reliance on imports and Chinese supply chains, not real domestic manufacturing Now Carney's deal opens Canada to thousands of these subsidized Chinese EVs while pushing his EV mandates Europe has seen strikingly similar issues with Chinese car manufacturing and imports as Brazil, particularly labor exploitation involving Chinese migrant workers, economic threats to the local auto industry, and policy backlash via tariffs. The pattern mirrors Brazil's experience: rapid market penetration by subsidized Chinese EVs (BYD, Chery, etc), promises of local factories, but accompanied by controversies over working conditions, de-industrialization fears, and heavy reliance on Chinese supply chains/labour Our auto sector (Ontario jobs, supply chains) is already under pressure from US tariffs. Do we really want to repeat Brazil's mistakes — flooding the market with Beijing-backed cars at the expense of Canadian workers? Prioritize Buy Canadian and North American manufacturing, not cheap imports that come with hidden costs. Net Zero Carney keeps seeing his shadow

Nissan X-Trail Positives and Negatives Positives: ✅ Great size and looks; a big-time head-turner. It looks upmarket with top-class paint and 20-inch diamond-cut alloys. ✅ It’s an imported car, so you get excellent overall fit and finish inside and out. This includes interior materials, hidden screws and mechanisms, stitching, tight panel gaps, insulation materials, rubber beading, inner wheel arch materials, an under-engine cover, thick glass, negligible orange peel in the paint, upmarket electronics, screen fonts and styling. This quality is also evident in the driving dynamics and controlled NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels. ✅ Adequate safety kit on offer with 7 airbags, 7 headrests, ESC, EBD, TC, ABS, 4 disc brakes, collision warning, limited-slip differential, 360-degree camera, and front and rear sensors with park pilot. ✅ Adequate engine performance with a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. It returns around 13-14 km/l on highways with ease and does 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds. ✅ Offers multi-link rear suspension and practical features like one-touch up/down windows, auto headlights, no-splash spray and rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming IRVM, panoramic sunroof with hidden mechanism, sun visor mirrors with lamps, 5+2 seats, multiple storage spaces, cruise control, and an 8-inch infotainment system with Android/iOS connectivity. **Areas to Improve:** ⚠️ The 3-cylinder engine at a price point above 33 lakh might deter some customers who are considering alternatives like the Tiguan, Tucson, Meridian, and Gloster. Pricing remains a key factor and has not been announced yet. ⚠️ Some missing features that competitors under 40 lakh are already offering include ADAS Level 2, electric seats, ventilated seats, leather seats, an electric tailgate, and larger and faster infotainment screens. ⚠️ It comes with a puncture kit but no spare wheel. Hopefully, other cars in this segment don't adopt this approach. ⚠️ At speeds above 120 km/h, wind noise becomes bothersome due to the large ORVMs. ⚠️ With CBUs, parts availability isn't as brisk as for cars made locally. Additionally, Nissan has a thin dealership network. ⚠️ The last-row seat is best suited for kids only, and the third row doesn’t have AC vents. **Analysis:** Nissan is importing this car in limited numbers only to boost confidence among potential buyers for the Magnite and their upcoming cSUVs and EVs. The X-Trail will showcase Nissan’s global tech prowess and cater to staunch Nissan fans.

GM #Web3, Happy New Year 🥳! I'm super stoked to share some awesome news about Community Gaming’s Forkast and the upcoming $CGX token launch on January 28th, 2025. So, is basically a prediction market where you can bet on gaming events - Guess the answer to questions like: "Will this game ever hit 500K players?" and get rewarded if you're right! This platform is loaded with cool features: no gas fees when you claim your rewards, weekly loot boxes filled with $CGX tokens, leaderboard prizes, and daily rewards for the most active users. It's gonna be a blast! So, why did Community Gaming choose Ronin ? Well, it's a no-brainer. $RON has almost 1 million daily active users, over $1 billion in total value locked, and it's super easy to use. Plus, the team behind has already crushed it with 100,000 monthly active users and over 1,000 tournaments on Ronin. What sets Forkast apart is that it's the first big prediction market on Ronin. They're using gasless transactions via Ronin Waypoint, and here's the cherry on top: 50% of rewards will be auto-staked, so you can earn even more. As a seasoned veteran of the Ronin Network, with over 4 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of witnessing its growth and evolution firsthand. Moreover, I've been actively organizing tournaments on the Community Gaming (CG) platform since early 2022, which has given me a unique perspective on the inner workings of the ecosystem. The $CGX token drops at the end of the month, and you can earn it by making accurate predictions, completing daily quests, climbing the leaderboards, and snagging those weekly loot boxes. Buckle up, folks, it's gonna be a wild ride! This thread is brought to you by Socials Rising 🃏 👊🏽😎 #AGDAO

🚨 INVESTIGATION: Did Larry Loomer And Her Husband Commit A Federal Crime And Put The Dealership Her Husband Works At At Risk? 👀 PENSACOLA, FL — Did Larry loomer and Her Husband "Jake" just commit a potential massive breach of federal law involving the Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), wire fraud, and allegations of unauthorized surveillance used for political warfare? Evidence has surfaced suggesting that Andrew "Jacob" Simpson (known as "Jake"), an IT professional for the Tameron/Cannon Auto group, may be utilizing high-level corporate access to harvest private citizen data. Simpson, who is reportedly the husband of deranged journalist Laura Loomer, has administrative access to dealership portals including Carfax, vehicle registration databases, and insurance records. A recent video posted by Loomer appears to show a "Dealer Dashboard" interface—data that is strictly regulated by federal statute. The Legal Reality: 18 U.S.C. § 2722 & Felony Escalation The Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) isn't just a guideline; it’s a federal law. The Violation: Under 18 U.S.C. § 2722, it is a federal crime to knowingly obtain or disclose personal information from a motor vehicle record for any use not permitted by law. The Fine: Violators face criminal fines and a mandatory $2,500 minimum penalty PER CLICK in civil damages. The Felony Path: Because this involves using interstate computer networks (Dealer Portals) to potentially defraud a business for political gain, this enters the territory of Wire Fraud. If a conspiracy is proven to use "Jake's" employer-provided access to "dox" rivals, federal prosecutors could escalate these charges to a Felony, carrying significant prison time. The Tameron/Cannon Connection: A "Weird" Inner Circle The ownership of the dealership group adds a bizarre layer to the story. Michael Joe Cannon and Ryan Mayer of Tameron Gulf Coast (a division of Cannon Motor Co.) oversee the IT infrastructure Simpson operates. Reportedly, minority partner Ryan Mayer has been seen frequently sharing a video of "Jake" and his partner at a White House Hanukkah event, where they received congratulations from Donald Trump on their engagement. Sources claim Mayer is so enamored with the proximity to power that he encourages Simpson to bring the video to professional meetings to "share it." The Question: Is a multi-state dealership group being exposed to millions in federal liability just so their IT guy can play digital mercenary for his wife’s political feuds? The Bottom Line If private vehicle data was pulled from a Tameron/Cannon Auto terminal to target private citizens, the dealership isn't just looking at a PR nightmare—they are looking at a federal grand jury. Stay tuned for more as I continue to investigate. If you have any tips related to this event or anyone listed in this news story contact me via DM or email.

Ever since I wired Claude Code to WhatsApp 3 weeks ago, I built a stupidly large infra around it. I mean, opus built it. No clue how the code even looks. The entire thing was vibe coded using my phone. I wanted to see how far I could push it without touching the computer. Everything via WhatsApp. Build what I need on the fly. So the resulting infrastructure will already be battle tested for software development. The entire thing was streamlined with nearly no manual interventions, everything was communicated via WhatsApp using a single script establishing this connection. If the script is down, I need to get home to start it again to resume the development. Claude was upgrading it, debugging it, restarting it while maintaining constant uptime so it could keep communicating with me. I stressed Claude about it, telling it that it will be “in the dark” and other words that deliberately sound scary about losing communications if the script dies. I also refused git and refused cloning the code, I wanted to see Claude adapting to work on a *LIVING* system. The way this whole thing works: Claude has its own dedicated phone number that I am paying for. A real WhatsApp account for it is installed on a real iPhone that is sitting on my desk. All is registered under my name, this is legit setup with no hacks and tricks. I’ve set up a WhatsApp “Community” and multiple different groups under it. Both me and Claude are the admins, so Claude could edit it on my behalf. Each group is a project I am working on and has its own isolated context. The Group description is a system prompt that gets auto-appended to the larger system prompt explaining this setup in general. When I send a message it’s an instant interrupt to Claude Code’s process, just like in the terminal. Voice notes are seamlessly transcribed with a local Whisper model. Images are used with multimodal reading in an isolated parallel session. Multiple groups running in parallel so I can work on all projects at the same time. No cross-talking, everything has an isolated context and history. And because it’s local on my own machine: Everything is REAL. The browser is REAL. I am connected as myself on it to all services because I actually use it in real life. Claude has unlimited internet access, just like humans who use actual browsers. It utilizes custom-made browser tools that I made to control any browser session it wants. Depending on the situation, it can either connect to my existing session or create one for its own. (You can tell it ‘look at my browser for a sec’ then talk about the current page you are on and it just works, pretty cool) My custom browser tools are not perfect (not by a long shot) but I managed to make them work well to the point they are somewhat reliable. This gives Claude full access to my real creds and all the services I actually use. I’m productive AS HELL with this. It really feels like a personal assistant. I ask it to read my emails and msgs, check x .com for news, research arxiv papers, write code, run experiments for me, investigate and reverse engineer github repos, even use my credit card and order things. [I try not to do this one a lot lol so far no disasters]. All from my phone. Super convenient. This is not a product or an open source project (maybe soon of it will make sense). This is just an ugly script I hacked the entire thing is ~600 lines. (ok maybe i did look at the code, but i swear i didn’t edit!) You can also vibe code this from scratch pretty fast and it will probably even end up better. This is just a cool thing so I’m sharing. It is a real speed booster for many things I do on daily basis, mostly boring things. Forcing my routine into some new “agent platform” just didn’t feel right for me. WhatsApp is where I already communicate and look for messages, so I decided that my agents will live there too. AGI in my pocket 24/7.

** Mega Parodius Update ( MegaDrive / Genesis ) ** 2 vid updates - In the first the Vic Viper players ship is heavily damaged .. only the bomb bay is operational ... so the viper goes on a bomb *blast* processing rampage !! ... This shows enemy destruction and some polishing of the bomb effect. The 2nd vid shows VRAM handling of objects with the tile viewer opened below the gameplay window. You can see objects load in , then as only the burning chests remain those animations are shifted live to maximise free object buffer. Progress since last progress vid : All collisions now implemented : Enemy to Player added , Bomb to Enemy added, Enemy Destruction added. Auto Defragging VRAM system implemented for Enemy Objects. Supports variable slot size also to maximise tile space . Fixed slot sizes wouldn't allow enough slots as they would need to be too large to cover all objects. Without defragging the VRAM would become like swiss cheese after a few screens of enemies also making larger slots difficult to allocate. Vram was getting tight due to things like the Blue Bell Bomb / White Bell text needing a reserved amount of vram ( as they can occur anywhere in the level via powerups ) . Theres also theres quite a bit of variety in Level 1 with warmup enemies , bottle enemies, chickens, crabs, orcas, chests, bees, penguin bathes, walking penguins, bouncing heads etc. We are also using all the arcade assets without trying to cut frames. It can't be loaded all at once so a dynamic system is needed. The enemy object buffer is 444 tiles presently for Level 1 , but the Catboss for example takes 308 when he's onscreen so things can get squeezed. For Mega versions of levels I wanted to ramp things up so that might mean we need more diversity in places than for the arcade accurate option , this system will help that also. The system can stream animation or utilise static animation if vram allows. Seems a mundane thing but sloppy vram management is the achiles heal of GFX diversity in a retro game . To help reduce the Bell effects VRAM buffer , Blue Bomb tiles required reduced to 120 tiles Max ( was 172 ) with no loss of quality . I've also reduced the sprite count by 6 sprites overall - down to 46 sprites used at max frame size. Lots more action / enemies to add yet but particularly the VRAM handling had to be improved before we can implement everything so glad thats in place now. Pyron and Vector Orbitex have been busy with upcoming GFX / Audion for the port , as always I'm very gratefull to have these Masters working with me on the port . #SGDK #Parodius #SegaMegadrive #SegaGenesis

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Trump said his support among Republicans is at record highs, touting 90–95% approval within MAGA ranks - even as the Epstein file controversy brews inside his own base. He called the renewed outrage a “hoax” pushed by “radical left troublemakers.” 2.⁠ Israeli jets hit Houthi “military infrastructure” at Yemen’s Hodeida port, targeting vessels, fuel tanks, and engineering gear used to rebuild the site. Israel accused the Houthis of using the port for Iranian-supplied weapons and maritime attacks against Israel. 3.⁠ Tesla opens its Hollywood diner to the public today. Elon promised: “If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes.” 4.⁠ Trump is pushing an executive order to block federal funding for AI companies whose models show “liberal bias,” demanding political neutrality in exchange for government contracts. With firms like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI already landing $200M in Pentagon deals, it’s a clear warning: comply or lose the cash. 5.⁠ The Liberal Democratic Party might be about to eat dirt in Japan’s upper house election - and the conservative Sanseito is licking its chops. High inflation, rising immigration, and voters tired of PM Ishiba’s “steady hand” have turned this into a full-blown referendum. If Sanseito grabs enough seats, it’s not just the coalition that cracks - it’s possibly Ishiba’s job. 6.⁠ Republicans claimed Biden’s team used an auto-pen to rubber-stamp decisions while he was in “deep mental decline.” They think a bunch of his executive orders, judge picks, and pardons could be totally illegal. 7.⁠ New York state agreed to pay $450,000 to settle a lawsuit from Brittany Commisso, who alleged former Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed and groped her while in office. Cuomo's attorneys called the allegations "false" and opposed dismissing the lawsuit. 8.⁠ A zero-day flaw in Microsoft’s SharePoint servers just cracked open U.S agencies, energy firms, and universities. Hackers are inside - stealing keys, lifting docs, and maybe worse. No fix from Microsoft. No ID on the attackers. No way to know if they’re still in your systems. 9.⁠ The UK is finally fast-tracking self-driving legislation - but only for taxi- and bus-style trials starting in 2026. No private use. Just app-booked robo-shuttles. While the U.S and China already have self-driving cars on public roads, Britain’s playing it safe with a “consultation phase” and 2 more years of red tape. 10.⁠ Bo’s new Turbo e-scooter clocked 85 mph at Goodwood, with eyes on triple digits. Developed by engineers from the Bloodhound land-speed team and Williams F1, this isn’t last-mile mobility. It’s a $29,500 bullet on wheels - limited-run, built-to-order.

Matt Goes Off: GTA 6 Hype, Lilly Gaddis Roasts Piers, and Britney Spears | Off Topic Show Highlight Dive into a wild Off Topic Show highlight from our Compound Censored Special, where host Matt delivers a no-filter rollercoaster of takes! Matt geeks out over Grand Theft Auto VI’s Trailer 2, marveling at how far gaming has come since the days of Pong, praising Rockstar’s 2-minute-46-second masterpiece captured on a base PS5 as proof of their industry dominance. He cheers Compound Censored’s Lilly Gaddis for leaving Piers Morgan reeling on Piers Uncensored, where she boldly admitted to using the N-word and called herself an “unashamed racist,” sparking a woke meltdown—Matt hails her defiance as a middle finger to cancel culture. The laughs keep coming as Matt mocks the absurd Karmelo Anthony vs. Austin Metcalf saga, where Anthony’s lawyer, Minister Dominique Alexander, booted Metcalf’s father from a press conference over fears he might “pull a gun.” Matt calls this paranoia “stupid,” slamming the idea that the father is anything like “killer” Anthony. Matt then urges iShowSpeed to take shrooms live on camera and dive into ancient giants to blow his audience’s minds. He takes a nostalgic detour to Pamela Anderson’s 2025 Met Gala appearance, reminiscing about her late ‘90s nudes that took hours to download on dial-up, but jokes she’s “unrecognizable” now and maybe not “spanking hank worthy.” Finally, Matt rants about off-brand foods like Walmart’s Great Value being the worst for you and calls out Britney Spears for shaking her ass on boats in Mexico, urging her to be a better role model. This is just a taste—watch the full episode on Compound Censored!

(long post on going from pre-product to post-product as a founder) We're swiftly approaching launch, so I thought I'd take some time to reflect. The accompanying video is of the first graphical implementation of Onflow (on Android) for a demo we did at Devcon. Barebones (a bit rough around the edges compared to today's visuals) from exactly a year ago. Onflow might prove to be the most complex protocol engineered thus far within the ZK/MPC/privacy space. ~2 years of work, 13 employees, expertise, refining, rebuilding, consulting, re-writing, auditing, novel research in MPC and ZK constructions. What goes into what we're building? First I'll outline what the scope for the initial release of Onflow is (skip to next section if this isn't interesting to you): - Be an SDK, not a standalone monolith. While we do have Onflow ID (our Onflow implementation), we never want Onflow to be centralized around 1 app. This also makes our user-by-default system so much more stronger in garnering network effects. If you've used Onflow even once, as soon as you open another app a few months later that requires compliance, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that the magic of the protocol has auto-submitted exactly what the service provider is looking for and there is no-to-little user interaction required on your end. - Privacy, privacy, privacy. My background, and a 90% of the development team at Sundial has a solid background in complex privacy schemes, zero-knowledge, academia and practical implementations. We believe compliance/KYC breaches are some of the most dangerous (both physically and virtually) data leaks that can occur, and so Onflow was built to be virtually impossible to leak any meaningful data from, even if you're delegating work to overseas staff, due to how data is stealth-schematized so support agents only see *exactly* what they need to solve your case, and nothing else. - Privacy, again. So what does privacy entail? Well. For Onflow we're utilizing so many new primitives in one, that all come from different departments. From the zero-trust infrastructure for our compliance dashboard, our never-before-seen quantum-resistant QuantMQ data dispatch protocol that is pervasive throughout the entire Onflow ecosystem, to complex routers for oracling and verifying proofs onchain (EVM and SVM initially, as recently announced). We also have our TDE, or "Trusted Data Enclave", which allows you to easily port your credentials to a new device, whether it be your laptop, or another phone, it'll all get transferred over seamlessly through a bespoke mesh-based distribution system (think Signal-type), again through QuantMQ tunnels. Now the true beauty of all of this? Some of the most senior software engineers, protocol engineers, system administrators, applied (& research) cryptographers alongside amazing visual artists, and our incredible CPO (ex-Disney, Apple, AOL and many more) all worked on their individual bits of the protocol. All with a shared love, and deep respect for privacy and great UX, came together to build the behemoth that is the inner workings of Onflow and distill it down to an SDK that takes just a dozen lines to implement, whether in an app, on a website, or in a cryptocurrency setting. One simple SDK that encapsulates hundreds of bespoke, novel and battle-tested MPC, ZK, QP protocols, and productized it into something that will make onboarding and compliance in general a one-click action going forward (for the most part), and will only be more and more normalized as more and more apps adopt this. Who is interested in using Onflow? We're very fortunate to have an exceptional product, which traditional finance, fintech and digital assets immediately recognize the importance of. Therefore, we're proud to announce that alongside our joint announcement with our day-1 deployment to Circle's Arc network, we're also entering traditional finance. Soon, users will be able to create bank accounts for short-stay overseas work solely using Onflow. We're actually surprised at the extremely positive reception from traditional finance, as you can quickly convince yourself words like "zero-knowledge" will scare what's often seen as arcane institutions, but our experience has been the polar opposite. Banks understand the importance of privacy. Banks understands utilizing privacy-enhancing tools to make the onboarding UX more convenient, and save them money and risk assessment staff when it comes to compliance. What's coming up? More privacy, more convenience. Soon you'll be introduced to the full product offerings of our initial release of Onflow. We plan to open-source every part of the stack that we're able to and provides a benefit to proliferating privacy online (such as our QuantumMQ library with bindings for C++, Rust, C#, Swift and Typescript). We plan to prove that all of the hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars spent on solid cryptographic, privacy-oriented research has not gone in vain, and we've employed and improved upon under-explored breakthroughs to make Onflow happen. What took you so long? Perfect is the enemy of (progress/good/etc.), however, being a product that de-risks businesses and transmits PII (even over quantum-proof tunnels) still require extreme rigor and a lot of systems and novel infrastructure to make sure that there is no central breach point. Version one of Onflow will support 147 jurisdictions, and we soon plan to add support for Aadhar 2.0 as well, to include India (even though they just got biometric passports, they're not as ubiquitous). We support thousands of passports and IDs and have the most comprehensive coverage out of any compliance provider with over 15,000 documents covered. Novel things take time. Onflow is truly a novel, never-before-seen approach to the full compliance stack, with inherent digital ID features as an essential part of the protocol, giving it endless possibilities. We wanted to make extremely sure that what we're releasing here in a couple of months is as solid as can be, and will offer hefty bounties to people who can successfully find a way to disrupt the protocol (one can never do too much manual review, fuzzing, external audits, etc., and we firmly believe in rewarding solo auditors for findings). Lastly. Thank you to everyone building in, researching, contributing to or otherwise promoting, privacy. Privacy is not reliant on financial turmoil, it is the first question a start-up should ask itself when making a new product class. And we're super fortunate to say that in the difficulties of navigating novel privacy, we've found extremely satisfying solutions to extremely complex problems we otherwise never would've discovered. Do not fade privacy. Privacy is a moat, and there are so many markets that are begging to be disrupted if someone with a privacy-oriented view decided to take a pragmatic look at them. Thank you.

A truly staggering number of AI-powered humanoid robots are emerging from Shenzhen, the booming Chinese tech hub. Shenzhen Dobot, which rose from a Kickstarter campaign to become an industrial automation leader, says its first humanoid robot, Atom, has entered mass production. Atom is positioned as a general-purpose cross-industry worker. Priced around $27,000, Atom boasts fine motor control that’s precise enough to pick up a cherry by the stem. Another major player is Pudu Robotics, which recently shipped its 100,000th service robot. Pudu is commercializing its wheeled and bipedal humanoids using its sizable customer base. Its flagship is the PUDU D9, a full-sized biped built to serve in places like warehouses, stores, and hotels. It sells for between $20,000 and $30,000. A newer firm, AI Squared, recently closed a funding round worth hundreds of millions of yuan to rush its Alpha Bot 2 general-purpose humanoid to market. The startup, founded in 2023, says its AI combines slow reasoning and fast motion planning so its robots can plan, talk, and move simultaneously. An even newer firm, Lumos Robotics, has reportedly raised nearly $28 million in angel funding to develop a full-stack humanoid robotics platform. The second-generation iteration of its flagship robot, the LUS 2, recently demonstrated the ability to get up from the ground in just a second. According to Lumos, the next-gen bot features upgraded actuators and sensors for athletic-level dexterity. LimX Dynamics, known for its agile quadrupeds and bipeds, just shared footage showcasing its CL-3 humanoid’s lifelike walking gait and gestures. LimX says its flagship humanoid can watch human movement videos and replicate them via motion conversion, with no hand coding required. Just a year after its establishment, the startup DIGIT has unveiled multiple lines of sci-fi-inspired humanoids. Its Starwalker robots switch between legged and wheeled locomotion to cover more than 10,000 square meters across multiple floors. They’re available in five different colors. DIGIT also has a robot named Xia Lan with a humanlike face that can show a range of expressions and emotions. The leading Chinese robotics firm UBTECH also recently introduced its first hyper-realistic humanoid robot, Una, intended for applications like customer service and event marketing. UBTECH says it’s begun mass-producing its Walker S humanoid robots that are reportedly helping assemble iPhones for Foxconn. Footage of a so-called intelligent swarm of these humanoids at a Zeekr factory shocked the world. Another EV maker, Xpeng, plans to start mass-producing its Iron humanoids in 2026. The robot reportedly stole the show during the 2025 Shanghai Auto Week. The Shenzhen firm that’s gotten the most attention outside the usual tech echo chambers is Engine AI, which is planning the world’s first full-sized humanoid robot boxing tournament.

The Trump family’s corruption and conflicts of interest aren’t just sleazy, they’re a geopolitical disaster for America! 1. Me,Mine,Myself President Trump’s bullying 50% tariffs on India are no coincidence; they’re a blatant move to prop up Saudi oil interests and his own shady investments. 2. Why did Trump make Saudi Arabia his first stop in 2025? Saudi money, tied to Aramco’s failed 2020 bid for India’s Reliance, and Trump’s crypto ventures in Pakistan, point to a sinister agenda. 3. Major owner and Saudi oil barons are the puppet masters, pushing Trump to sanction India’s Russian oil trade to inflate global oil prices, boosting Saudi profits and Exxon while hurting India’s economy. 4. This isn’t just about Russia, but Trump’s bullying and extortion tariffs are a desperate bid to offset Saudi and Exxon losses from cheap Russian oil. 5. Trump’s bullying Tariff Tantrum a Megalomaniacal Blunder Pushing India Toward BRICS . President Trump’s 50% tariffs on India are economic extortion, not diplomacy, and they’re backfiring—alienating a key ally and boosting BRICS’ global rise. Why this reckless move is a geopolitical and economic disaster? 6. Economic Extortion by Trump’s 50% tariffs, effective Aug 27, 2025, target India’s $86.5B exports to the U.S., aiming to force New Delhi to halt Russian oil imports (35% of India’s energy). Indian officials call it “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.” 7. This is backfiring against President Trump very badly. Instead of isolating Russia, the tariffs are pushing India closer to BRICS allies China, Russia, and others, now outpacing the G7 with 35% of global GDP. Economist Richard Wolff warns this strengthens BRICS’ economic dominance. 8. The Economic Fallout is Tariffs on India threaten textiles, gems, auto parts, and seafood, risking a 1% GDP cut (from 6.5% to below 6%). Exporters are halting production, and orders are canceled. Trump bullying and extortion Tariffs will hike costs for American consumers, fueling inflation amid a soaring U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio. The Fed’s money printing is driving investors away from U.S. markets. 9. The U.S.-India partnership, built over decades to counter China via the Quad, is fracturing. PM Modi’s upcoming meetings with President Xi and President Putin signal a pivot to BRICS, sidelining the U.S. and President Trump. 10. The Hypocrisy exposed that U.S. traded $3.5B with Russia last year but punishes India, while China faces only 30% tariffs and Turkey none. Trump’s selective targeting reeks of ulterior motives, like forcing India’s agriculture markets open. But India Stands Firm: PM Modi along with patriotic 1.45 Billion+ Indians, reject Trump’s “economic blackmail,” vowing to protect India’s sovereignty. New Delhi is exploring new markets in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America. 11. USA is very fast losing ground as Megalomaniac Trump’s “me, mine, myself” approach risks decades of U.S.-India goodwill. With investments fleeing and BRICS rising, “America First” is becoming “America Alone.” 12. This isn’t leadership, it’s a Trump bullying tantrum that’ll cost the U.S. its allies and influence. #TrumpTariffs #IndiaStandsStrong #BRICSSummit2025 . USA Congress and Senate must audit Trump’s tangled business web and demand real oversight to stop this extreme corruption! 👇

A Watch and Investment Story I have been a watch enthusiast since my dad got me interested in watches decades ago. About three years ago, I was in London and walked by a watch boutique called Bremont. I stepped into the store, fell in love with the watches, thought they were fairly priced if not somewhat inexpensive for the quality, and bought a number of them as gifts for friends and one for myself. As I was completing the purchases, I asked the store manager: ‘Who owns the company?’ He said, “The English brothers” – Nick and Giles English – and then he proceeded to tell me Bremont’s origin story that begins with a tragic plane crash of a 1942 Harvard trainer aircraft (an American plane purchased by the British beginning in 1938) which killed their father and almost Nick. In their ‘What does not kill me makes me stronger’ new world, Nick and Giles were inspired to pursue their dream of creating and building a British watch company, and Bremont thereafter was born. The manager gave me their contact information and I sent an email congratulating the brothers on the company, the brand, and the watches. I also offered to invest and help the business grow. Sometime later, I did a Zoom with Nick. He explained that my timing was good, as a long-time investor in the company was looking to sell some of their shares. Within a couple of months, an affiliate of mine invested coinciding with the purchase by a legacy Bremont shareholder of primary shares to provide the company with additional growth capital. I thereafter bought more shares of stock from other selling shareholders and I invested a substantial amount of additional growth capital in the company just this past week. Affiliates of mine and The Bremont Long Term Trust, a trust I recently established, now own 63% of the company. Bremont is a luxury British watch company that produces adventure and exploration watches. About one-fourth of Bremont’s sales are to the military, where the company has made custom-designed watches for more than 500 British, U.S., and other American ally squadrons around the world. While today there are very few British watch companies, the British actually created the watch industry – Rolex, notably, was a British company before it moved to Switzerland – with many of the most important technical innovations and complications of the industry having been invented in England in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. For the watch industry, the Swiss can be thought of like the Japanese of the U.S. auto industry, where in the early days, the Swiss made cheap imitations of British watches, but eventually by the 20th century, came to dominate the industry. For compliance reasons, I have been limited in my personal investments to private situations, principally startups, real estate, and private equity, directly and through funds. Because of my personal time limitations, I spend very little time on these investments, but through a combination of good luck, investment experience, and a good eye for talent, my collective private investment outcomes have been excellent, with a few huge successes outweighing some disappointments. I have always viewed my non-Pershing Square investments as an opportunity for learning and insights that I can apply to my day job. For example, I have found that closely following the venture investment world has provided important insights into disruptive technologies and companies that can soon become serious threats to even the largest and best capitalized public companies. Experiences at small companies also very often apply to big ones, so in my hobby of making personal investments, my returns have been both financial and educational, from my successes and from my failures. Other than tennis, I don’t have any real hobbies, but perhaps my personal investing qualifies as my second passion. To date, I have been a passive investor in Bremont, but perhaps the activist in me caused me to step forward, to recently seize the opportunity to materially increase my investment in the company, and become the non-executive chairman of a newly refreshed board. I don’t expect my chairman role at Bremont to take much of my time as it is a private company of limited scale, but I do expect my experience here will provide some helpful learnings and insights. I also thought it would be fun, interesting, and rewarding to take the X community along for the ride – at least those that are interested in watches, operations, and investing. I intend to provide periodic updates of the company’s progress on X, about our successes, our struggles, and our failures – so that we can learn and have some fun together. Think of my periodic updates as “Drive to Survive,” but for watches on X. “Time to Succeed”? You can probably come up with a better name for the series, and perhaps then I should reach out to Netflix to see if they are interested (while holding back my tears as I have watched the stock massively appreciate since our exit!). Bremont can greatly benefit by your feedback so I strongly encourage you to share your insights, critiques, and other ideas about the company and its watches on X so we can learn and improve. We will periodically award the best ideas with Bremont watches so you can have an opportunity to earn an appropriate in-kind return on your time invested in helping us succeed. In the modern era, building an independent watch company into a major company, let alone one in the U.K., has rarely if ever occurred. The watch world is littered with many such failed attempts so it is far from guaranteed that we will succeed in building a profitable and sustainable company, let alone a major independent player. My Investment History to Date with Bremont Prior to my investment in the company, Nick and Giles had taken Bremont to a reasonable scale for an independently owned watch company at about £21 million in revenues with a modest operating loss, which is an incredible accomplishment for two young men with no watch industry experience. Nick and Giles accomplishment is particularly significant in an extremely competitive industry characterized by well capitalized incumbents that control many of the top brands, e.g., Richemont, Swatch, LVMH, as well dominant, independently owned companies like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars and Piguet, and a few others. Despite their progress, both Nick and Giles and the other shareholders agreed that bringing in an executive with watch industry experience would help to take the company to the next level. Shortly after I invested, we hired a search firm to identify and ultimately recruit our new CEO, Davide Cerrato, who joined in May of 2023. Davide’s entire career has been spent in the industry at Panerai, Tudor – where he famously created the Black Bay, Montblanc, and with a brief stent at HYT. Davide in turn hired other industry notables to round out the executive suite, and then the team went to work with the ambitious goal of transforming Bremont into a global industry leader. Bremont has some important competitive advantages. First and most importantly, the watches are handsome, extremely well designed, and overengineered. Davide’s team has materially upgraded materials (for example, the company now uses 904L steel for all of its steel watches – the same as Rolex – unprecedented for watches at Bremont’s price point), parts, and movements from what was already a good standard to a level comparable to watches at multiples of the price. The watches are developed, designed, manufactured, and serviced in Henley-on-Thames using principally Swiss movements. While making its own movement is an aspirational goal for Bremont, the Swiss still make the highest quality movements so that is what Bremont uses. Bremont has a unique brand story and heritage, particularly for a 23-year-old company, with two decades of credibility in war zones and air combat missions with the best war fighters and military pilots in the world. Bremont also makes a limited number of watches, around 10,000 per year, compared with more than 1.2 million for Rolex and 70,000 for Patek Philippe, and scarcity drives value in luxury goods. The combination of battlefield credibility, rarity, quality and a fair price make Bremont an extremely attractive alternative to the typical Rolex or Patek, which everyone seems to be wearing in my industry, a ubiquity in my view that loses its luster over time. Over the past 23 months, Davide and team have redesigned and focused Bremont’s range around three core offerings in Land, Sea, and Air – the Terra Nova, the Supermarine, and the Altitude – while upgrading materials, movements, and quality, updating the logo to reflect the new Land and Sea offerings (Bremont was previously perceived to only be an aviation brand), and dramatically improving manufacturing and service. The company has extended its warranty from three to five years on its new watches reflecting these improvements. Bremont benefits from having overinvested in its spectacular 35,000 square foot combined headquarters, manufacturing facility, and showroom in Henley-on-Thames, aka “The Wing” (email [email protected] to arrange a superb tour), with the capacity for substantial growth without the requirement for incremental capital investment. Lastly, Bremont now has a well-capitalized long-term major owner who would like to see Bremont become a big success and achieve its vision of returning watchmaking to the UK, and who is not looking for dividends or a liquidity event in this lifetime. I have learned over time that permanent capital and a truly long-term orientation are enormous competitive advantages for any business, and they should be very helpful here. With respect to the product, later this morning in Geneva at Watches and Wonders, the industry’s most important trade show, the company is launching its new Altitude aviation line, which builds from the company’s highly successful Martin Baker offerings. The company will also be introducing some complicated new watches including two unique, jumping hour models, a 12-piece new tourbillion model (the company's first 30-piece tourbillion watch sold out shortly after its launch last year), and the company’s first perpetual calendar (limited to 50 pieces). I will be back with further updates as we continue to make progress. In the meantime, please check out and visit the Wing ([email protected] ) and our boutiques in Mayfair and throughout the U.K., on Madison Avenue and 53rd Street, in Hong Kong, and in Melbourne. Pictures don’t do Bremonts justice so you should go in person and tell the store manager that I sent you. Also, please take a look at our new launch video, and don't forget to let me know what you think.
