Proud to be at

to celebrate
#MultiversX
. The world is about to get blown away by all this Romanian magic. Paris already is. I’m honored to represent 🇷🇴 at this historic moment. To all you dreamers and builders out there: keep fighting and make humanity better. Game on!
Keep the faith, change the world. And don’t forget to educate politicians on new technologies, their role, and their promise for humanity. If you don’t, who’s going to do it?
My first love, a 1979 Chrysler Cordoba. I still own it and drive it every time I come back to the States. I call her Candy — the best $1750 I’ve ever spent in my life and so grateful for this beauty.
Great meeting with 🇦🇪 minister of AI, digital economy, and remote work applications, HE Omar Sultan Al Olama (عمر سلطان العلماء). The 1st minister of AI in the world, amazing & inspirational leader. Great meeting, lots of opportunities to work together for a better future 🇷🇴🇦🇪

#ION
, the world’s first government AI advisor, unveiled by our Prime-Minister last week. More to follow!
Someone once said that “the difference between a politician and a leader is simple: a politician thinks about the next election, a leader thinks about the next generation.” Case in point today: Romania’s entry into the
#schengen
area was vetoed by a single member. Just terrible.
Happy National Day, Romania! To Romanians around the world celebrating today, keep the faith! We will be stronger than ever, we will reach higher than ever, we will be more united than ever. Onward, together 🇷🇴
There is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it.
Play, experiment, fail, and try again - 100 times if needed.
The chance of making an impact is too big to let it fade away.
