As I’ve said previously, unsupervised full self-driving Teslas will be carrying passengers in Austin in June and many cities in America by end of year.
This will enable passenger cars to increase in utility by roughly half an order of magnitude overnight with a software update.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan blew the lid off Trump and Netanyahu 🔥👏
Khan: "They threatened ICC judges, UN staff, and my family over Israel cases.
🇺🇸 12 U.S. senators sent a letter saying 'Go after 🇮🇱 Israel and we go after you and your family.
Then came sanctions, frozen accounts, travel bans. It is deeply dangerous for states to bully international justice."
Finally someone said this. What a COURAGE this man has 💪 🫡
Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on what is and isn't "sus" about the SpaceX IPO
"This... [is a] classic venture capital exit maneuver. The IPO is the liquidity event"
"What's different... is they accelerated the timeline where the insiders can sell. That's a little... 'sus'"
"[Also,] what is untoward about it, in many classic investors' viewpoints, is it's being priced at an outrageous multiple—about 95 [to] 100 times revenues. That's just absurd"
"So I suspect this is going to do what a lot of IPOs do. It's going to deflate over the next six to 12 months and people will lose money who bought it here, as the insiders cash out"
"[There's also] usually... a seasoning period for an IPO of at least up to a year [for the] NASDAQ[, but it] dispensed with that. The S&P was rumored to do the same thing, but the S&P decided, no, no, we're not changing our rules for Elon"
"Also, the lockup period is accelerated way more than it typically is. So people are going to punch out of their shares"
"What this means is people who have been in this company, employees, VCs, private, private family offices, they're going to get their liquidity"
"I was talking to a guy on the Street a couple of weeks ago, and his fund sold it last year, and they thought it was already overpriced at $400 billion and so they're very mad at themselves because they got out before $1.5 trillion"
"what's gone on here is absolutely absurd. It's worth $400 billion last year, now it's $1.7 trillion. What's changed? Nothing other than hype. So this is classic bubble behavior"
"I have nothing to say about SpaceX the company per se... it could be a great stock at a much lower valuation, but it all depends. People have to separate the stock price from the company. Great companies and great stocks are two different things"
@ShannonJoyRadio@DowdEdward
Elon Musk can say what he likes about me but I won't stay silent whilst foreign tech billionaires, money earned off the backs of real workers, try to interfere in our democracy, incite violence in our communities and tear apart our country.
Time for him to pipe down.

Rivian shares trade at about $13. A $150 investment made at its IPO would have shrunk to a value of around $25.
Can $SPCX do better!!! Am staying very far from it, SPACE is too hot for my likening!
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
