Just some more Musk amazing stuff. I’m starting to sound like a fanboy but it’s just amazing.

[Jaynit @jaynitx]

3 days ago, Elon Musk sat in front of JP Morgan’s 3,500 wealthiest investors and explained why the AI economy is moving to space:

1. Starship is the first rocket in history designed to be fully reusable. Every other mode of transport... planes, cars, ships... you take reusability for granted. Rockets have always been thrown away after one use. That ends with Starship. Once you achieve full reusability, the only cost is fuel. Starship runs on liquid oxygen and methane. Both are cheaper than jet fuel.

2. Sending cargo to orbit will soon cost less than international air freight. This is not a distant projection. It is the direct mathematical outcome of reusable rockets plus cheap propellant. The economics of space change entirely.

3. Starlink V3 is 10 to 20 times more capable than what's currently in orbit. The satellite is so large it can only launch on Starship. It cannot fit on any other rocket on Earth. 100 times more bandwidth. Half the latency. It may become the highest bandwidth, lowest latency communication system that exists.

4. AI and robots will consume bandwidth at a scale humans cannot picture. Peak human bandwidth is a few hundred bits per second. A computer runs at a trillion. The appetite of AI for data infrastructure will be unlike anything built for human use. Starlink V3 is being built for that world... not this one.

5. Data centers are moving to space. Not as an experiment. As the primary way to scale AI compute going forward. It is increasingly hard to build power plants on the ground. Nobody wants one near their home. Space removes that constraint entirely.

6. From the moon, you can scale to 1,000 terawatts of compute per year. From Earth... maybe 1. The moon has no atmosphere and one-sixth Earth's gravity. You can manufacture solar panels from moon materials and launch data centers with a railgun. No rockets needed. The math on this is not close.

7. Current human civilization uses less than one trillionth of the sun's energy output. You could scale to a million times Earth's entire economy and still be using less than one millionth of what the sun produces. The ceiling on what's possible is so far above us it barely registers as a ceiling.

8. There is not a single high-volume computer memory fab in America right now. Zero. The chips needed to build the AI future do not exist in sufficient quantity anywhere in the Western world. That is why SpaceX is building one. Not to compete. Because there is no other option.

9. SpaceX has been cash flow positive since around 2014. The IPO is not a distress move. Past funding rounds were not even fundraising... they were liquidity events for employees. The company bought back its own stock. The IPO is happening now because the next phase requires capital private markets cannot absorb.

10. The senior team has barely changed in over a decade. The CFO has been there 15 years. Musk joined as the seventh employee in 2002. He says people who believe in the mission don't leave. And above technical skill, he now looks for one thing... whether someone is genuinely a good person.

[Twisted Litster @LitsterDan]

Is there anything Musk and his SpaceX team isn’t ahead of the curve on?

[Vaibhav Sisinty @VaibhavSisinty]

Okay this is genuinely insane.

SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.

It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.

AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.

They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.

So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.

In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.

And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."

One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.

AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.

And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.

The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

[Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2]

Five and a half years later—with new revelations related to what happened before and on January 6—the regime media absolutely refuses to consider that the Biden DOJ/Wray FBI abused their power to investigate, prosecute, and help convict more than 1,000 Americans for their participation in the protest that day.

Welker, like all other “journalists” and reporters of her ilk, actually think the unprecedented number of plea deals is the result of legitimate prosecutions rather than abuse of authority—particularly threats to turn misdemeanor cases into felonies—to extract plea deals.

They don’t entertain for a SECOND that perhaps something is off with a 100 PERCENT CONVICTION RATE before DC juries. Or question how the Biden DOJ got away with for years bringing the felony 1512c2 charge against 300+ J6ers (and the president) before SCOTUS determined the statute had been unlawfully applied.

The single minded focus on those charged/convicted of “assault” on police—when the 18 USC 111 statute also applies to “interfering” or “impeding” federal officers—allows the media to ignore the hundreds of other low level misdemeanor cases that nonetheless resulted in torturous investigations and prosecutions, rigged trials, and time in federal prison.

Corporate media is as responsible as the Biden DOJ, J6 committee, and federal judges in continuing to perpetuate lies about J6 and intentionally misleading the public about what happened in the largest criminal investigation in US history. Good for the president for pushing back and for his justified anger here:

A great recap of the Prickster-Johnson end zone fumble loss of the Bears.

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

A good follow up to the Carroll v Trump lawfare. The bogus New York V Trump case. Another example of breaking legal norms to convict not matter how badly the law and facts needed to be bent or broken.

[Apple Lamps @lamps_apple]

The People of New York v. Donald J. Trump represents the most legally contorted criminal prosecution in the history of American presidential politics... a case constructed not from clear statutory violations but from a theory so novel, so layered, and so reliant on uncharged predicates that even legal scholars hostile to Trump struggled to defend its architecture.

A Manhattan District Attorney, whose election campaign was bankrolled by a George Soros-backed PAC to the tune of over a million dollars, resurrected a two-year-old time-barred misdemeanor by attaching it to a federal campaign finance violation that the Department of Justice... under both the Trump and Biden administrations... had already examined and declined to charge.

The Federal Election Commission, the body with exclusive jurisdiction over federal campaign finance law, never brought a case either. Bragg then used this federally rejected, never-charged theory as the elevating predicate to transform 34 bookkeeping entries into 34 felonies... without specifying in the indictment what the underlying crime actually was, leaving a jury to convict Trump of concealing crimes that were never proven, never charged, and never subjected to the standard of proof that conviction of those crimes would have legally required.

The presiding judge, whose daughter ran a Democratic political consulting firm actively fundraising off Democratic clients... including Adam Schiff and Hakeem Jeffries... during the trial itself, declined every recusal request, and a New York ethics panel declined to intervene.

Then came the sentence that rendered the entire edifice self-refuting. After convicting a former president on 34 felony counts... the first such conviction in American history, dominating every front page on earth... Judge Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge... no prison, no fines, no probation, no conditions of any kind. If the falsification of business records across 34 counts was a serious enough crime to warrant the first felony conviction of a former American president... prosecuted under a legal theory no DA had ever used before, built on a federal violation the feds themselves refused to charge, elevated from a time-barred misdemeanor by a predicate crime never specified in the indictment... then it was serious enough to warrant punishment. If it was not serious enough to punish, then the 34 felony convictions were not about justice. They were about a headline.

The conviction ran through the 2024 election cycle stamping "convicted felon" onto the Republican presidential nominee, and when that nominee won anyway and returned to the White House, the same judge who could find no grounds to recuse could find no punishment to impose... because the punishment had already been delivered, in the only courtroom that ever mattered... the daily news cycle, every day from May 30, 2024 to November 5, 2024.

[Twisted Litster @LitsterDan]

Spot on synopsis of the Carroll v Trump case. Legal system turned on its head in order to convict Trump by any means tossing aside all legal norms. Thats your Democrat Party. The destroyer of norms in order to seize power.

[Apple Lamps @lamps_apple]

The Carroll case rested on a sequence of legal maneuvers with no precedent in American civil litigation. Democratic legislators passed a retroactive temporary law eliminating the statute of limitations for decades-old accusations that could not be dated, located, or defended with alibis. The day the temporary law took effect, Carroll filed her pre-prepared lawsuit, the first in the state to do so.

A Democratic mega-donor secretly funded the plaintiff’s legal costs through a nonprofit. The arrangement stayed hidden until one of Trump’s lawyers discovered it. A Clinton-appointed judge then sealed all records so the jury never learned the billionaire backer had publicly committed to Trump’s political destruction. Every participant in the legislative, funding, and judicial steps operated inside the same political network, and each decision produced the same cumulative result.

The jury explicitly checked “no” on the verdict form’s specific rape question. The judge ruled rape proven anyway, claiming the jury had used a common rather than statutory definition… an impossibility, since their rejection under the common definition precludes rape by any standard. Trump’s team was barred from arguing innocence before a second jury, which awarded $83.3 million ($65 million punitive) on the rape finding the first jury had rejected.

A defendant was sued for defamation over denying an accusation, prevented from asserting that denial as a defense, tried before a judge who concealed the plaintiff’s political funding, and hit with a nine-figure verdict built on facts the jury itself refused to find.

No comparable sequence exists in recorded U.S. civil litigation history.
