Californians are frustrated with the direction of our state--and who can blame them? We pay the highest taxes in the country and receive the worst results. We need change ☀️👊

🚨Alphabet announces an $80 BILLION capital raise to build AI infrastructure.
The $80 billion raise includes $10 billion from Berkshire Hathaway, $30 billion in public offerings and $40 billion through a gradual ATM stock sale program.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire recently disclosed a $16.6 billion Alphabet stake and is now doubling down.
Alphabet plans to use the proceeds to fund AI infrastructure and compute expansion, while about $30 billion from its ATM program will help cover employee equity related tax obligations in 2026.
Alphabet recently increased it's annual AI and infrastructure spending forecast to $180-$190 billion.
Alphabet has raised over $85 billion in debt in the last year alone, pushing total debt above $100 billion and now tapping equity markets to fund its AI expansion.
🚨 SPACEX JUST GOT FAA APPROVAL TO TEST ITS NEW “STARFALL” CAPSULES.
These are not regular reentry vehicles.
SpaceX’s new circular Starfall capsules are designed to bring up to 1,000 kg of payload back from orbit safely, repeatedly, and at scale.
They can launch on either Falcon 9 or Starship, perform in-space manufacturing, then reenter and splash down in the Pacific for rapid recovery.
Why this matters:
• Enables true commercial in-space manufacturing (microgravity + vacuum) that can be returned to Earth
• Could become a “proliferated successor” to the ISS for self-sustaining space industry
• Opens the door to rapid point-to-point cargo delivery from orbit to anywhere on Earth
• Directly competes with companies like Varda that have been flying similar missions on SpaceX rockets
The deeper implication is massive:
We are moving from “occasional experiments in space” to routine manufacturing and logistics in orbit.
If Starfall works at scale, companies could build factories in space, produce high-value materials that can’t be made on Earth, and ship them back down regularly all without needing a full space station.
This is one of the clearest steps yet toward a real, self-sustaining commercial space economy.
What do you think will in-space manufacturing finally become a serious industry, or is this still too early?
Follow for more frontier space and future technology.
All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.
Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
