ĻOTI SVARĪGA ZIŅA! Nu tā, ka ĻOTI!
Dārgie visi!
Ilgi nāca, bet beidzot atnāca! Lieta, kuru gadiem, kopā ar @martinskalnins gribējām izdarīt. Bija iemesli un iegansti, lai nedarītu, atliktu, nepabeigtu vai atmestu ar roku, tomēr, beidzot, izdarījām! Sveiciens visiem no mana projekta šoreiz mūzikā - Orbital Fuddle! Un jā, albums “OF”! Vērtējiet, slavējiet, kritizējiet, uztveriet kā pusmūža krīzes izpausmi čaļiem (mums), bet, galvenais, nepaliekat vienaldzīgi! Lai visiem, joprojām, foršs 2024.g. un lai katram sanāk ko nepadarītu un atliktu padarīt! Paldies arī @karlisauzans @RudolfDankfelds @TomsPoiss un citiem, kuri palīdzēja šim notikt! Esmu runājis, hau!

Giorgia Meloni just passed new measures that will end the “student protests” really fast.
If you take part in a violent demonstration, you face up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to €20,000.
The sentence is harsher if faces are covered or people are injured.
Parents are now financially liable for the damage and vandalism their underage children cause.
Police can detain 14–17 year olds who pose a danger, even without a prior crime.
She also deployed 500 army troops to Milan alongside police to protect the city through the end of the year.
This is great. Now she just needs to mass deport them all!
Man ļoti patīk tviteris. Patika. Bet tagad aizvien vairāk un vairāk redzu, kā tas (LV kontekstā) kļūst par atsaldētu naciku un to anonīmo botu tusiņa vietu. Līdzīgi kā Blūskajs ir kļuvis par tikpat atsaldētu progresīvo jampampiņu drošajām debesīm. Īsti vairs nezinu, kur lai paliek normālais pīpls, kuram visas šīs galējības bezgalīgi derdzas?!

Kolēģa Didža aizstāvībai. Es arī biju gatavs pārdot startapa daļas 10 indiešiem par 50k no katra. Jo Latvijā burtiski 3 deep tech investori, bet nav arī pieejama publiskā nauda 300-500k apmērā. Tad nu inovāciju attīstīšanai jāņem, kur var. Tāpat kā mākslai no gamblinga 🤷🏼♂️ Stulbi.
Premjera @AndrisKulbergs padomniekam Didzim Dejum (@didzisdejus) pieder uzņēmums, kurā jūnijā reģistrēti astoņi jauni ārzemju akcionāri. Katrs ar 50 000 €.
Kāpēc tieši 50 000 €? Tā ir mazākā summa, kas ārzemniekam jāiegulda Latvijas uzņēmumā, lai viņš varētu prasīt uzturēšanās atļauju.
Ko atradām publiskajos reģistros:
Uzņēmums ir AS «SIAPLG.EU», neliels konsultāciju uzņēmums ar diviem darbiniekiem. Visas balsis pieder Dejum. Astoņiem jaunajiem akcionāriem balsstiesību nav, tikai akcijas par 50 000 € katram. Neviens no viņiem nav saistīts ar kādu citu Latvijas uzņēmumu.
Laika secība:
· Jūnijā Saeima pieņem jauno Imigrācijas likumu. Darba grupā par to piedalījās arī Dejus kā Kulberga pārstāvis.
· 25. jūnijā reģistrā ierakstīti astoņi jaunie akcionāri.
· 10. jūlijā Dejus sāk strādāt premjera birojā.
· Augustā Saeimas komisijā viņš aicina skatīt Kulberga priekšlikumus par uzturēšanās atļaujām investoriem.
Svarīgi: ieguldīt uzņēmumā, lai saņemtu uzturēšanās atļauju, ir likumīgi. Mēs nezinām, vai kāds no astoņiem šo atļauju prasīja vai saņēma, jo šie dati nav publiski.
Nezinām arī, vai Dejum kā ārštata padomniekam savi uzņēmumi bija jādeklarē. VID datubāzē viņa deklarāciju pēc 2005. gada nav.
Didzi, ja vēlaties komentēt, jūsu atbildi publicēsim zem šī tvīta.

Man kā @LZA_LV īstenajam loceklim ir pilnībā nepieņemama maldinošas informācijas paušana no LZA prezidenta puses, virzot Indijas zinātnieci Latvijas pilsonības iegūšanai. Uzskatu, ka nākamajā pilnsapulcē jālemj par prezidenta atsaukšanu.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Elon's endgame w/ Tesla & SpaceX is very clear
The idea is to bring the cost of transportation, labour & energy to near 0
He's doing it by building a connectivity & inference cloud in space that powers billions of robots on earth
This is how $SPCX gets to a $100 TRILLION market cap, as Elon me
mentioned yesterday
Whether the 2 companies merge or not (my guess is they do), they have already built the ground work for this master plan to be fulfilled:
- Tesla builds and powers the Robots (humanoid, vehicles, etc.)
- SpaceX builds the compute and connectivity from Space
Let's start with what's being built at SpaceX then I will explain how this connects with whats being built at Tesla
1. Starpship: Giant reusable rockets at massive scale and cost efficiencies (100s of rocket launches/year). He needed to first make getting to space cheap enough so it would be feasible to build products in Space
2. Starlink: Connect the world's devices to a distributed wifi system that works globally with no dead zones through 100s of thousands of satellites orbiting the earth
3. Starmind: Build a distributed inference cloud (compute), which is powered by the Sun and cooled in space and beam it back to earth via Starlink
So, essentaily what Elon is building with SpaceX is a global internet and compute system that can enable AI and Robotics anywhere in the world
Now let's talk about how this fits with Tesla
$TSLA is building the "devices" (aka robots) that will need to use the global internet and compute system
1. Autonomus Vehicles (Cyberabs, Robtaxis, Semi's): A global transportation system that is powered by batteries and runs autonomously through AI, lowering the cost of transportation to near 0 overtime
2. Humanoid Robots: A global workforce that can replace all blue collar work, lowering the cost of labour to near 0 overtime
3. A global energy network: hundreds of thousands of batteries and battery chargers, linked to various energy sources (more and more of that being renewable overtime), postioned in stratgic places to charge all of the these robots (humanoids, AVs, etc.), lowering the cost of energy to near 0 overtime
Tesla has built / is building the manufacturing and AI capabilties for all of this to work globally, however, for this to work at scale with millions or even billions of robots (humanoid/AVs), the world needs better connectivity and orders of magnitude more compute. This is exactly the problem SpaceX is solving for Tesla
Both companies require infinite amounts more chips to make this all a reality, which is why Tesla and SpaceX joined to launch Terrafab. The largest building in the world and likely to become the the largest chip manufacturer in North America (maybe globally)
The impact of what these two companies are building is a world of abundance, where the costs of energy, transportation and labour become a rounding error. The most deflationary impact to ever hit the world
This is also why Elon continues to say that SpaceX will become a $100T company, as the combination of SpaceX and Tesla will generate trillions in revenue and easily become the largest valued company on earth
The timelines of all of this working at scale is unknown, but many pieces of the puzzle are already being set in place and beginning to make a real impact... ask anyone who owns a Tesla and uses FSD today
Full disclosure: SpaceX and Tesla remain core positions in my Milk Road PRO portoflio and I continue to DCA dips in both companies when the market gives me the opportunity. I'm an analyst at Milk Road and you can check out my real-time portfolio here: link.milkroad.com/t5837z

4 MĒNEŠOS nespēju pat teorētiski atrast nepieciešamību @krisjaniskarins VIP LIDOJUMIEM
🛩️ Šo četru mēnešu laikā premjera amatā, apmeklējot daudzas valstis, samitos, konferencēs un piedaloties neskaitāmās darba vizītēs, esmu pārliecinājies, ka visas vizītes un lidojumus ir iespējams laicīgi saplānot. Izmantojot regulāros reisus, piemēram, @airBaltic vienmēr var nokļūt nepieciešamajā galamērķī un laikā.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t even matter if Zelenskyy is President of Ukraine or not. @ZelenskyyUa
Putin’s goal is to take Ukraine. Then he will take Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and he will make his way through all of Europe.
People obsess over personalities too much.
You could have an election in Ukraine tomorrow and Putin would still find a reason to be at war.
Russia INVADED Ukraine.
Not the other way around.
Zelenskyy’s removal from office won’t stop Russian imperialism.
It’s not about Zelenskyy. It’s about Putin. It’s always been about Putin.

Runājot par iespējamām koalīcijām, bieži izskan doma, ka jaunajai Andra Kulberga valdībai būšot jāpieņem daudzi nepopulāri lēmumi, tāpēc nepieciešama pēc iespējas plašāka koalīcija ar stabilāku balsu vairākumu. Kādi būs šie “nepopulārie” lēmumi, parasti netiek konkretizēts, bet nojaušams, ka tas saistīts ar zināmiem taupības pasākumiem.
Ja paraugāmies uz šo retoriku ar svaigu, rutīnas neaizmiglotu skatu, tad redzam, ka tiek mehāniski atkārtotas gadu desmitiem skandētas klišejas - nepopulāri lēmumi, plašāka koalīcija un tamlīdzīgi. Tiek gandrīz pilnībā ignorēta jaunā pēcvēlēšanu realitāte, kurā viens politiskais spēks - “Apvienotais saraksts” un tā līderis Andris Kulbergs - ir ieguvis 41 Saeimas mandātu, kas Latvijas apstākļos ir gandrīz vai absolūtais vairākums.
Taču tas vēl nav viss. Šo 41 balsi AS ir ieguvis ar saukli par pārmaiņām. Vēlētāji ir skaidri pateikuši “nē” agrākajai politikai (vienalga, ko ar to domājam) un pateikuši “jā” pārmaiņām. To ir atzinuši arī vēlēšanu uzvarētāji. Tāpēc ir iespējams tikai viens pagalam nepopulārs valdības lēmums - nedarīt neko un atstāt visu kā ir. Visi pārējie lēmumi ir un būs populāri, lai ko teiktu visu nokrāsu “politologi”.
Jā, varbūt tie konkrētie cilvēki, kuri nonāks zem “pārmaiņu” naža, neapmierināti kurnēs, vīstīs dūres un piesauks dažādus labskanīgus vārdus, tai skaitā demokrātijas vārdu, bet kopumā visas šīs pārmaiņas, lai kādas tās arī būtu, Latvijas sabiedrība uzņems ar sapratni un atbalstu. Vismaz sākumā, kamēr “pārmaiņas” nebūs skārušas pārāk daudzus.

Many people will probably recognize this photo.
Meet Vasyl Vasiuta, a 53-year-old man from Ukraine’s Lviv region. He has nine children. Three of his sons went to war. One of them was killed.
Poland is just 10 kilometers from his home. The front line is 1,300 kilometers away. Yet ten years ago, Vasyl volunteered to join the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
All three of his sons eventually fought alongside him.
In February 2022, his 20-year-old son Dmytro was killed near Mykolaiv. It took nearly a month to find his body. He was finally identified by his tattoo.
Of the three brothers who went to war, Dmytro was killed, Ivan was discharged from the military after being wounded, and Marian is still fighting in the Donbas.
When Marian learned that his brother had been killed, he immediately called his father.
Vasyl had just one word in response:
“Understood.”
After losing his son, Vasyl was wounded himself. His arm hadn't healed, he had lost feeling in three fingers, and his knee still hurt. Yet he kept pushing to return to the front.
“That’s what real courage looks like to me. When Dmytro was killed, my father didn't give up. A week later, he was wounded himself, but he kept fighting,” his son says.
For years, Vasyl sent his sons the same message while they were at the front:
“Son, how are you? Just send me a plus sign on Viber.”
When asked what it's like to have three sons at war, he gives a simple answer:
“Hard. Very hard.”
His injuries and declining health eventually forced him to leave the front. He returned home and now works as a forester.
But his thoughts are still there.
Every day, he walks 20 kilometers through the forest, perhaps trying to quiet the pain he carries inside.
In his home village of Cherneve, 90 of the 800 residents serve in the military. Five have been killed. One is missing.
And Vasyl keeps walking through the forest, thinking of his sons.
Living with a loss that can never be undone and a pain that never truly goes away.

Phil Jackson says he told Michael Jordan he needed to score less if he wanted to win a championship because scoring titles and championships don’t go together
“When I was given the job as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls, I brought Michael Jordan in to speak with me, and I said, ‘You know, you’ve averaged 37, 38, 36 points a game the last three years. You know, you’ve been the scoring champion, but if you look back at the history of the NBA, there hasn’t been a scoring champion for almost 15 years who’s won the championship. They don’t go together.’”
“‘And we need to take the focus off you, which is what teams now tilt their whole defense towards, stopping Michael Jordan, and open it up for the rest of our team. And it means you taking less shots a game. That’s important.’ And he stopped me and he said, ‘Are you going to run an equal-opportunity offense like Tex Winter’s been talking about?’”
“I said, ‘Yeah, I guess you could call it an equal-opportunity offense, but I’m not going to be calling the plays from the sideline. You guys are going to be reading it on the floor. So if the 24-second clock is running down and it becomes red, which is the call everybody makes when it’s under five seconds, we’ll teach the team how to get the ball to you at the end of that clock because then you can score.’”
“He said, ‘Well, I don’t think that I have to give up a scoring championship. I could score 32 points a game and still win a scoring championship. That’s only eight points a quarter.’ I said, ‘Michael, I had trouble scoring eight points a game when I was a player.’”
“‘But rather than scoring eight points a quarter, why don’t you save that for the fourth quarter and score 14 points in the fourth quarter and take us home? And you can do what you want to do during the early part of the game and then put the onus and the nail in the coffin in the fourth quarter to seal the deal.’ He kind of liked that idea.”
“And, you know, I think we lost two or three of our first games that we played in my first year coaching, and everybody had to kind of figure out how to do it, how to play together when the ball was dictating the action, when the passes were dictating what people would do, rather than a specific number for a player being called from the sideline. And I gave the team a little bit of authority, which is exactly what a coach wants to happen.”
