Exactly 😂
Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.
SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.
Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!

Crowdfunding is growing in more places at once.
New rules in the US and Australia, public funding in Malaysia, wider investor access and tech pilots in Brazil and South Korea.

Can a platform prove how a deal was checked?
Neera Patel showed how Ironstone does it at the CfPA Summit: AI reviews, a named person signs off, and the record is sealed on a blockchain.
Trusted data is where Dacxi Chain starts.

Did Wong do all this for a political photo op?
And is she willing to lie on this to the public?
If she is, then about what else will she be willing to lie, should she claw her way into power through the endless promotion of her on legacy media channels like the execrable RNZ?
"Opportunity’s core values are "truthfulness" and "integrity".
Qiulae Wong and Opportunity will need to explain this.
The Marathon rules are explicit:
unofficial bib swaps are banned for safety reasons, including correct identification, emergency contacts, and timing.
Only a formal system transfer is allowed,
...and that process closes the day before the race"
...so the bib she is wearing carries the actual details as they should be - but they show the bib belongs to someone else entirely.

Rules for thee, not for me?
Key was 'Peak National' and it has been on the declien ever since. He was responsible for the Indian/Phillipino invasion, mass tourism, high property prices and Luxon. He has no influence. After this Party Vote disaster of 2026 we could see an Electorate Vote disaster in 2029 where NZFirst challenges National in heartland seats.

🔎 181 platforms raised over €4B in 2024, yet fewer than 30% operate across borders. Most investors still only see deals from their own country.
Why connecting platforms is the industry’s next challenge 👇

Investing in private businesses used to be mostly for venture funds and wealthy investors.
Crowdfunding changed that. Today, ordinary investors can back companies and projects they believe in, often with small amounts.
The next step is giving them access beyond their own country.
She will focus on social cohesion and public health... literally you could not find ANYONE with a worst name in New Zealand than Ardern. What was Uni of Sydney thinking?

Trust in #crowdfunding isn’t built on claims. It’s built on evidence.
Clear information, verifiable checks and accountable decisions are essential when capital is at stake.
The challenge is making that trust scalable.
