@elonmusk Hey Elon,
Most tennis ball machines top out at 80 mph and 40+ lbs. I need 100+ mph with pro-level spin and placement.

Can you please build a lightweight “tennis ball rocket launcher”? I’m in Marina del Rey, CA, and would happily test it.
Thanks!

Impact on MicroStrategy’s Stock Price MicroStrategy holds about 628,000 Bitcoin, worth roughly $74 billion at the current price of $118,000 per BTC. If the U.S. uses $740 billion from the gold revaluation to buy 3.3 million Bitcoin, driving the price from $118,000 to, say, $200,000 after the first 1 million BTC, MicroStrategy’s holdings would jump to $125.6 billion. With their current market cap around $89 billion, MSTR stock often moves at least 1:1 with Bitcoin’s price, sometimes more due to hype as a Bitcoin proxy. A 70% Bitcoin price jump could push MSTR stock to $680–$800 per share. As the U.S. keeps buying, pushing Bitcoin to $300,000, MicroStrategy’s stash would hit $188.4 billion, potentially doubling or tripling the stock to $800–$1,200 per share as investors go wild. If Bitcoin hits $400,000–$500,000 during the final 300,000 BTC buy, their holdings could reach $251.2–$314 billion. MSTR stock might soar to $1,600–$2,000 per share, or higher if FOMO kicks in.

What Happens If the U.S. Uses $740 Billion to Buy Bitcoin If the U.S. takes that $740 billion and goes all-in on Bitcoin at $118,000 per coin, they could buy about 1 million Bitcoin right off the bat, costing $118 billion. That’s roughly 5% of the 19.5 million Bitcoin circulating. The market would lose its mind-a buy that big would suck up liquidity and likely spike the price, maybe to $177,000 or even $236,000, based on past big buys and supply shocks. With $622 billion left, they could keep buying. Grabbing another 1 million BTC at, say, $200,000 each would cost $200 billion, bringing their total to 2 million BTC and leaving $422 billion. If they push further, buying another 1 million at $300,000 each costs $300 billion, landing them at 3 million BTC with $122 billion still in pocket. They might snag 300,000 more at $400,000 to $500,000 each, hitting 3.3 million BTC-nearly 17% of all Bitcoin. Prices could rocket past $500,000 as supply dries up and speculators pile in. This would make the U.S. the ultimate Bitcoin whale.

U.S. Government Revaluing Gold and Funds Generated The U.S. holds about 261.5 million ounces of gold, mostly at Fort Knox, valued on the books at $42.22 per ounce since 1973, totaling roughly $11 billion. With gold trading at $3,400 per ounce, the market value is around $750 billion. If the Treasury revalues the gold to, say, $3,000 per ounce, they'd issue a new gold certificate to the Federal Reserve, retiring the old one. The Fed would transfer the difference-about $740 billion-back to the Treasury as usable funds. No gold gets sold; it's purely an accounting move. That's a massive $740 billion windfall they could use for something wild, like buying Bitcoin

Here’s the beginning of the cost cutting and GROWTH solution:

1. Interest on the debt spending: Trump stated that if Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell would simply lower interest rates, the country could save as much as $1 trillion in interest payments.

2. Mandatory spending: President Trump stated that the One Big Beautiful Bill will reduce mandatory spending by approximately 1.6 trillion.

3 Discretionary spending: DOGE has identified $106 billion in savings, while President Trump has prioritized the reduction of federal subsidies.

Government spending:

There are three ways the government spends money;

1. Interest on the debt spending: non-negotiable.

2. Mandatory spending:
non-negotiable, all “earned benefits”, Medicare, Social Security, VA benefits etc., all are required by law to be paid.

3. Discretionary spending:
US military, CIA, FBI, Air Force One, DHS, TSA, IRS, (all three-lettered agencies).

1. Interest on the debt and 2. Mandatory spending are out the door automatically. (spending on both exceeded federal tax revenue in 2012).

The Republicans think that cutting spending will be the answer:

The US is BROKE even if we cut ALL 3. Discretionary spending (all three-lettered agencies).

The Democrats think that raising taxes will be the answer:

But, historically since the end of WWII federal tax revenue has averaged 17.7% of GDP (with tax rates all over the board with individual rates ranging from 10% to 91% and corporate rates from 15% to 53%). And yet total federal tax revenue has stayed constant at 17.7% of GDP.

Increasing taxes won’t lead to the government collecting any additional revenue.

The solution is cutting fraud, waste and abuse and GROWING the economy.

Note: The Democrats believe in a DEGROWTH economy.
