Elon Musk has received regulatory approval to acquire startup Mesh Optical Technologies, a company founded by former SpaceX engineers working on optical data center communication technology.
Mesh is developing optical transceivers that rely on light to send and receive information between data centers, which the company says are more power efficient and lower latency than existing options. https://t.co/D7diyxpuHX
South Korea just put its air defenses to the test against one of the fastest-growing threats on the battlefield: drone warfare.
During its first-ever live-fire exercise simulating a coordinated swarm attack, 50 drones flew in low from about a half mile away. Air defense crews shot down 44 with Vulcan guns, while a portable laser and shotguns took out the remaining six.
The drill comes as militaries around the world race to adapt to the growing use of coordinated drone attacks in modern warfare.

$TMUS $SPCX - SPACEX-T-MOBILE TAKEOVER RUMORS EMERGE
A TD Cowen analyst says SpaceX could acquire T-Mobile to accelerate its wireless ambitions if it can't secure a network-sharing deal. The report cites T-Mobile's existing Starlink partnership as a strategic fit. The idea is purely speculative, but highlights growing competitive pressure from SpaceX on the telecom industry.
$TSLA says production at its Berlin Gigafactory is set to ramp to 7,500 vehicles per week starting in October 2026 marking another 20% increase in output.
Tesla says the expansion will also come with 1,000 additional hires at the Berlin plant.
GOOD NEWS 🇪🇺 According to SolarPower Europe, European battery storage market is set to quadruple by 2030, with annual installations jumping from 50 GWh this year to 138 GWh 🔥
This represents a HUGE revenue stream opportunity for Tesla Energy with $6 Billion in annual revenue from Europe alone 🔥
Here is the baseline math for a 2030 European scenario:
🔋 Total addressable market (TAM): 138 GWh (138,000 MWh) annually.
🎯 Tesla market share (conservative): If Tesla captures just 15% of this market with the Megapack, that translates to 20.7 GWh deployed annually (roughly 5,000+ Megapacks).
💵 Pricing assumption: Assuming battery cost curves continue to decline, a conservative utility-scale price by 2030 is roughly $300 per kWh ($300,000 per MWh).
💰 The revenue impact: 20,700 MWh × $300,000/MWh = $6.21 Billion in annual revenue from Europe alone.
When you consider that this doesn't even account for high-margin recurring software revenue from Autobidder, Europe is shaping up to be a massive growth engine for Tesla's energy ecosystem.
