Woah. Missed this. In ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿคกโ€™s neo-statist fantasy, the U.S. government will also be taking equity in Big Oil. I need my crazy pills.

Itโ€™s so insane. Dystopian novel stuff. But the tech bris seem to forget that the corporate overlords are always the bad guys in these novels. Never the heroes.

China added more grid-scale #BESS in Dec 2025 than the US did all year. One month vs one year. Thatโ€™s not competitionโ€”itโ€™s industrial separation. Batteries are now infrastructure there: cheaper power, tougher grids, faster electrification. The West didnโ€™t fall behind on techโ€”it stalled on execution.

FYI, if youโ€™re contracting with the Federal Govt, ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿคก will set hard caps on executive comp, limits on dividends and stock buybacks. Welcome to the neo-statist economy of the 21st century.

These tv people are obviously bad faith actors or products of a failing educational system. Maybe both.
