🚨 Elon Musk just threatened the SpaceX shorts.

His words: firms that hold a significant short in SpaceX have a very low chance of survival.

SPCX crashed from $225 to below its $135 IPO price. Down 44% from the top.

Short interest exploded from 5% to 29% of the float. They've made an estimated $8.7 BILLION on the drop.

Thiago Santos and Jimi Manuwa didn't come to score points, they came to go to war. 🥊
After a chaotic first round, 'Marreta' stormed into Round 2 and flattened Manuwa with a brutal knockout just 41 seconds in, sealing one of the most memorable finishes in light heavyweight history.

If you could relive one UFC knockout for the first time, which fight would you choose?

Woke lobotomized models are the enemy of American competitiveness.

JD Vance says Republicans helped create the conditions that fueled the rise of socialism in America.

He warns that unless Republicans recognize this, America will elect a socialist president in the future.

“Does the socialism thing scare me? Yes.”

“Is it the wrong solution? Yes.”

“Socialism is the alternative if we don’t have a pathway to give people a sense that the system is not rigged and that the American dream is attainable.”

“We ran the experiment of offshoring all of our industrial jobs, becoming a services and finance economy, and allowing Wall Street to buy every asset of modern life.”

“What has that done?”

“It’s created a generation of kids who are attracted to socialism.”

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate is holding an anti-taxpayer fraud meeting right now with Nick Shirley and James O'Keefe...

...and stunning new footage shows EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT SEAT is *empty*

100% of Democrats on the committee were invited, 0% SHOWED UP.

The Party of Fraud. They know about the fraud and are complicit!

FOX: "We have a shot of the empty seats, all the way to the right. Empty seats where DEMOCRATS would be sitting. Dems don't care about defrauding the American people?!" 🤯

[Mr. Anderson @Truecrypto]

Most traders think technical analysis is the study of patterns.

It isn’t.

Technical analysis is the study of reactions.

A pattern isn’t the signal. A pattern simply creates a place where the market has to make a decision.

The reaction to that decision is the signal.

Once you see that, you stop trading drawings and start reading behavior.

I made one comment and interact with a few post about soccer and now it's all I see. I'm just here for a good time during the world cup I'm not here for a long time. Simmer down I won't be radicalized into dumb things including inferior sports.

[Jonathan Greenberg @JGreenbergSez]

A huge cultural difference between international soccer and American sports cultures. Americans are used to our athletes saying they prefer to beat an opponent at full strength. International soccer culture - the same culture that produces players pretending to be injured - is fine whinging about a guy being suspended for something he didn’t even do to their team.

"When is a player offsides?"

"Whenever anything exciting happens."

I’ll show you a red card…

[Christopher Inks @TXWestCapital]

What if the convergence of AI + Robotics + Synthetic Biology becomes one of the defining technological themes going forward? Thirty years from now people stop talking about AI because it's disappeared into the background and, instead, notice what it has enabled. So we go from the AI Revolution to the Biological Revolution.

[Brandon Tonic @brandontonic]

Fuck them bitches and them hoes! USA!

[Brandon Tonic @brandontonic]

Holy shit! What a banger! USA!

[Brandon Tonic @brandontonic]

A red card? On that? And bro is out for the next game? Soccer sucks and will never replace football.

[Brandon Tonic @brandontonic]

USA! USA! I'm actually pumped for this soccer game. Let's Gooooooooaaaaaallllll!

The question of our time: Who absorbs the loss?

Governments pulled forward and misallocated decades of human effort, labor, energy, and time. An affront to our dignity.

Who foots that bill? I don’t know.

What I do know is if you have bitcoin in cold storage, it can’t be you

[miles jennings @milesjennings]

This is one of the most anti-crypto laws in the U.S.

It taxes the exchange, transfer, or storage of digital assets—you buy BTC, you pay a tax; you hold your BTC on Coinbase, you pay a tax; and so on.

There is effectively no comparable state financial transaction tax on stocks, bonds, or derivatives anywhere in the country. That means crypto is being singled out in violation of several federal laws.

Further, the approach makes little sense—you aren’t taxed if you exchange a stock, bond, or derivative in paper form, but you are taxed if they happen to be recorded on a blockchain? That’s like taxing email.

So, rather than embracing innovation and the cost efficiencies blockchains can deliver for ordinary people in Illinois, the state is poised to punish its entrepreneurs and citizens that want to use crypto.

This is a shame—it was only just recently that Illinois embraced a constructive approach to blockchain technology through the adoption of the effectively-scoped Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act. This new tax is a complete 180.

When states adopt discriminatory, asset-specific taxes that drive builders and users elsewhere, we all lose.

[Nina Schick @NinaDSchick]

The DeepSeek moment was extraordinary PR.

A claim that a frontier model was trained for $6 million wiped over $1 trillion from US tech markets overnight.

But the number is misleading.

The $6 million refers only to the final training run. It excludes the billions already invested in hardware, research and infrastructure. And it ignores the reality that frontier capabilities can be distilled and replicated once they exist.

The real moat in AI is not the model, it's in the atoms. It is the infrastructure that produces Intelligence.

@BernieSanders Ridiculous. Horrible take.
