@elonmusk — fun bit of local history from my town Paisley, Scotland. In 1937 a group of schoolboys called the Paisley Rocketeers flew the first three-stage rocket in Britain. Small, powder-powered, reached a few hundred feet — but the concept of dropping dead weight mid-flight is the same one behind Falcon 9 and Starship. Thought you’d appreciate the underdog origin story. 🚀

🚨90 Years Ago Today, Two Countries Changed the Rules for Gold! 🇳🇱🇨🇭
🪙This Day In Sound Money History: September 27
👉1936 — Netherlands: A restriction on exporting gold coins & bullion took effect. Gold could still leave with the Netherlands Bank’s authorization.
👉1936 — Switzerland: Its government issued a decree ending the Swiss National Bank’s obligation to redeem banknotes in gold & setting a lower gold value for the franc—an average devaluation of about 30%.
👉One country restricted gold leaving. The other changed what its paper money promised in gold.
👉For stackers, the distinction matters: owning gold, exporting it, & redeeming paper for it are three different rights. Governments changed two of those rules on this date.
🦀Crustacean Nation: Which would concern you more—restrictions on moving your gold, or losing the right to redeem banknotes for it?
👉Sound off below!

🚨THE CRYPTO GIANT STACKING GOLD HAS SILVER IN THE VAULT!
👉Tether says it holds more than 146 tonnes of physical gold—more than the official gold reserves of many countries.
👉Now look at what https://t.co/M6f8uKsvwM disclosed in an SEC filing: a Tether affiliate is storing physical silver through https://t.co/M6f8uKsvwM’s facilities, including Las Vegas. The companies also have agreements covering precious-metal leasing & trading.
👉Tether invested $150 million in https://t.co/M6f8uKsvwM earlier this year. That puts a major gold holder inside the infrastructure that stores, trades & finances bullion.
🥈For silver stackers, that connection is a big deal. But the filing does not say how much silver the affiliate holds or prove Tether is buying silver at the scale it buys gold... I will monitor the situation for udpates!
🦀Crustacean Nation: Is this the beginning of a much bigger institutional move into physical silver?

🚨CHINA’S GOLD BUYING JUST HIT A 3-YEAR HIGH!🚨
👉The People’s Bank of China added in August:
🥇650,000 OZT (Approx. 20.2 metric tonnes)!
📈Its 22nd straight month of buying!
🏦Official reserves now: 76.73 million OZT—approximately 2,387 tonnes!
👉July + August combined: 1.29 MILLION OZT—more than 40 tonnes of gold!
👉August marked China’s biggest official monthly addition since October 2023!
👉China isn’t buying gold for next week’s trade. It’s preparing for the years ahead...
🦀Crustacean Nation: is this simply diversification…or preparation for a different global monetary system?

Britannia Fact of the Week 🇬🇧
Britannia is arguably Britain's most recognisable female figure, yet she isn't a real person, monarch or saint. Instead, she is the national personification of Britain, a symbolic figure that has represented the strength, resilience and identity of the nation for centuries.«
From Roman times through to today's gold and silver Britannia bullion coins, her image has evolved while remaining one of the most enduring symbols in British history and numismatics.
Do you remember your first Britannia coin, or which design is your favourite? 👇🇬🇧

hey @elonmusk i’m sure you already know but “The Arsenal of Freedom” was an episode of the next generation aired April 1988 season 1 episode 21. i also hope you build a starfleet academy at Starbase for the rocket scientist and engineers of the future
ELON MUSK: The goal of SpaceX is to make Star Trek real.
“We want to make Star Trek real, We want to make Starfleet Academy real, so that it’s not always science fiction, but one day, the science fiction turns to science fact.
And we have spaceships going through space, big spaceships, with people going to other planets, going to the Moon, and ultimately going beyond our star system to other star systems, where we may meet aliens or discover long-dead alien civilizations.
We want to go, and we want to see what’s happening, and we want to have epic, futuristic spaceships with lots of people in them, traveling to places we’ve never been to before. Yeah, that’s the goal.”
🚨BREAKING: Iran Targeted Two US Warships—USA Hit Three IRGC Oil Tankers in Response!🇮🇷
👉CENTCOM says Iran launched ballistic missiles toward a US aircraft carrier & guided-missile destroyer—but both warships evaded the attacks & no American personnel were harmed.
👉The US response:
🔥Iranian Tanker struck near Kharg Island!
🔥Iranian Tanker struck near Jask!
💥Iranian Tanker Kylo completely destroyed in the Gulf of Oman after its crew was ordered to abandon ship. (This ship was reportedly not holding oil.)
👉CENTCOM says the vessels belonged to a multibillion-dollar shadow network funding the IRGC & its regional proxies.
👉This is a major escalation targeting Iran’s oil lifeline—not merely another strike on military hardware.
🦀Crustacean Nation: Will this escalation send oil, gold & silver sharply higher when markets reopen—or will it crash?

🚨Silver Was Cut in Half—Yet It May Be Quietly Setting Up Its Next Major Run!
👉Silver plunged 52.3% from its January peak near $116 to just above $55.
👉Sounds disastrous—until you zoom out:
🥈Even at July’s bottom, silver was still 46.7% higher year over year!
🥇Silver’s strength relative to gold remained near its best level in roughly 12 years!
📈It broke out of the massive falling wedge formed during the collapse.
🔥The parabolic speculation was flushed out without wiping out the broader bull market... Silver may be performing far better than today’s bearish mood suggests.
🦀Crustacean Nation: Was the crash the end of silver’s run—or the reset before its next major breakout?
