@JoeOrrico Brother, this is an RB league. Stop drafting WRs in round 1

[kuz @kylekuzma]

Thirty years of women fighting to get this league built, and the question on the table this week is what a woman is. Needing a committee to find that answer is a disservice to every girl who was told this league was for her.

Talked with so many #Saints fans yesterday at the @ProFootballHOF ceremony that are fired up about their team in 2026. And for good reason. First and foremost…NOW they believe in Tyler Shough.

Just like me.

Wall Street is paying less attention to the Magnificent 7:

Monthly mentions of the "Magnificent Seven" across news stories on the Bloomberg terminal are down to ~1,400, near the lowest since Q4 2023.

This marks a -70% decline from the Q1 2024 peak of ~4,300 mentions, which came shortly after the term was introduced in 2023.

A similar pattern occurred with the "FANG" and later "FAANG" labels, originally referring to Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google before Apple was added.

Monthly mentions of "FANG" and "FAANG" surged to a record ~2,800 in Q4 2018.

Subsequently, they dropped -82%, to just ~500 mentions by early 2020.

Investor attention has shifted away from the Mag 7.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

Legacy media is now pushing another narrative:

“Virtually all of Elon Musk’s wealth came from government help.”

This is completely false.

Government contracts are not subsidies.

SpaceX wins contracts because it offers the best product at the lowest price. NASA pays SpaceX for real launches, real cargo missions, and real astronaut transport, not charity.

SpaceX is expected to get less than 5% of its revenue from NASA this year.

Add up every government incentive Tesla and SpaceX have ever received, and it is still less than 2% of the value of Tesla and SpaceX.

Tesla did not become the world’s most valuable car company because of tax credits. It became huge because it built better EVs, better software, better batteries, and the best charging network.

And when the $7,500 EV tax credit was removed, Tesla sales increased.

The real reason they’re obsessed with Elon Musk is that he exposed how irrelevant they have become.

People no longer wait for newspaper editors, TV anchors, or corporate journalists to tell them the truth.

Legacy media lost its monopoly on information.

Now all they have left is clickbait, outrage, and anti-Elon narratives.

And that’s exactly why the trust in media is at an all time low.

[Palmer Luckey @PalmerLuckey]

When politicians say they want to seize/tax "wealth" but actually mean "shares in your own company that you yourself founded", the real point is making it impossible for anyone to actually control their own company for more than a decade.

They won't let you stay, either.

Back-of-envelope numbers for 1 gigawatt data center:

All-in Capex: ~$50 bn
Enterprise revenue generated: ~$25-30 bn/year
Electricity cost: $1-2 bn/year

~2 year payback.

The boom is real.
