We value SpaceX at $63 per share, a 53% discount to the upcoming IPO’s offering price.
Even giving SpaceX the benefit of the doubt in several key forecasts, only the most optimistic ‘Moonshot’ scenario approaches the IPO offering price. https://t.co/ibUZ4lUaWw
Nigeria accounts for ~90% of MTN's operating profits despite being 33% of its total subscribers.
It's obvious that MTN is fleecing Nigerians to subsidize the rest of their Africa operations. This is where the govt has to step in, but they won't.
NEW: The FBI just put faces to the fraud.

Someone recently told me that Nasarawa State has gone ahead of Plateau State in terms of governance, i asked him why and on what basis is he making this assertion, he said in Hausa " flyovers everyone." We are not serious people and we deserve our leaders.
You have a city with no pipe-borne water, hospitals, schools, poor electricity, dirty and infested environment and your "signature project" in seven years is a flyover?!
Flying to where friend?
Following breakthrough results, we’re bringing longevity medicine to human trials.
We’ve raised a $435M Series C led by @foundersfund to make it happen.
Reprogramming cell age has the potential to create more healthy years for everyone. We're closer than ever to realizing it.
Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.
NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).
Grateful to Founders Fund, Thrive, Greenoaks, and the rest of the investors for this latest round. @jacobkimmel and the team are just getting started.
The last time I used a smartphone was three years ago in law school. Best decision I have made. I have had the same experience described here. I make use of my Laptop periodically for internet, emails and X.
Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.
- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.
- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.
- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."
- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
