The man who called the 2008 housing collapse just made a prediction about Elon Musk that is hard to ignore (Save this).
Steve Eisman, the Big Short investor says he fully expects Musk to use the SpaceX IPO stock price to buy Tesla and merge both companies into one giant entity called X.
Tesla's earnings have declined for four consecutive years.
The EV business, Eisman argues, is not structurally attractive but rather is capital intensive, it is highly competitive, and China is producing electric vehicles at costs Tesla simply cannot match.
The issue with using SpaceX stock to buy Tesla is precisely what it sounds like.
SpaceX is about to list as what would be the largest IPO in history, targeting a valuation around $1.77 trillion, with a thesis built on orbital compute, Starlink and the future of AI infrastructure.
Tesla is a car company with four years of declining earnings, competing on price against manufacturers who have a structural cost advantage.
Combining those two businesses would force SpaceX shareholders to absorb Tesla's problems, its margin pressure, its China exposure, its capital requirements at the exact moment SpaceX is trying to tell the cleanest possible growth story to public markets.
In Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023), Justice Smith admitted he would deliberately change his spellcasting hand gestures to trip up the VFX team. The filmmakers found it so funny that they included the visual effects supervisor’s exhausted reaction at the end.
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.
The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.
America must secure her release NOW.
Bryce Mitchell reacts to Sean Strickland being banned from the UFC White House event:
"I'm not surprised at all. We ought to be able to criticize our own nation, let alone a foreign nation.
[Israel] is the only nation you're not allowed to criticize. Something's gonna change, because evil empires don't last forever."

Let me get this straight.
Howard Lutnick, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, got caught lying about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Democrats grilled him about it and finally got him to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
Four weeks later, Lutnick wrote a $5 million check to the super PAC that funds House Republicans, including members who sit on that committee. Then he showed up for a closed-door interview where, despite pushback from Democrats, no cameras or recordings were allowed.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close.

This video of Israel’s latest war crime is being systematically suppressed by Twitter.
I screen recorded the moment the platform removed 19 retweets from the post — evidence of Western war crimes being targeted by Elon’s algorithm.
Minutes later, it removed 21 more retweets👇
🇬🇧🇵🇸🇮🇱 Un cirujano británico que trabajó en Gaza relató.
“Después de los bombardeos aéreos israelíes, llegaban los drones de las FDI… Apuntaban y disparaban deliberadamente a los heridos que yacían en el suelo. Incluso a niños. Los remataban en el sitio.”
No contentos con masacrar desde el aire, los soldados israelíes usan drones para cazar y ejecutar a los sobrevivientes heridos.
Una política sistemática de rematar civiles.Esto no es guerra.
Esto es caza de seres humanos, asesinato a sangre fría de heridos y niños.
El mundo entero debe escuchar este testimonio. No hay justificación posible.
Testimonio estremecedor ante el Parlamento Británico
