In 1954, a U.S. Air Force B-57B Canberra captured footage of Castle Bravo — the most powerful nuclear test ever conducted by the United States.

The detonation at Bikini Atoll yielded 15 megatons, 1,000× stronger than Hiroshima.

🚨 WARNING: SPACEX IPO IS A REAL BIG STORM FOR MARKETS!!

Everyone thinks $SPCX IPO will be free money.

But people thought the same about Meta in 2012.

After Meta went public, the stock dumped more than 70% in the first 100 days.

Retail bought the hype.

Then insiders and early investors got liquidity.

Now the same setup is coming again.

SpaceX is expected to go public on June 12 at a $1.75 TRILLION to $2 TRILLION valuation.

That would instantly make it one of the biggest companies in the US market.

But here’s the problem.

This is not just an IPO.

This is a massive liquidity event.

Insiders reportedly own around 95% of SpaceX shares.

The public float is only around 5%.

That means insiders are sitting on more than $1.6 TRILLION of paper wealth.

And after the IPO, that paper wealth starts becoming real exit liquidity.

Michael Burry already warned about this.

He said SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic could raise more money than the 300 biggest IPOs in 2000.

And he is not just talking.

He is already betting against the AI bubble with a massive short position in $PLTR and $NVDA.

So now connect the dots.

Meta IPO dumped after the hype.

AI stocks are already crowded.

SpaceX IPO will pull liquidity from everything else.

- Stocks.
- Crypto.
- High beta tech.

Everything retail is already holding.

Most people will see the Elon hype.

I see the liquidity drain.

This could become one of the biggest insider cashout events in modern market history.

I have studied macro for 10 years and called almost every major market top including the October BTC ATH.

Follow and turn notifications on.

I will post the warning before it hits the headlines.

L’Ukraine frappe fort : première réussite pour sa fusée FP-7.X, future colonne vertébrale du bouclier FREYJA.

1500–2000 m/s : la vitesse folle de la nouvelle arme ukrainienne, presque à la hauteur de l’Iskander-M russe (2100 m/s). Un exploit technologique signant un pas de géant vers l’autonomie militaire.

7,25 m de long, 1,15 m de diamètre, composite ultra-résistant : la FP-7.X, équipée d’une tête infrarouge et bientôt d’un système de guidage semi-actif (merci Diehl Defence), promet de neutraliser les menaces balistiques.
Le projet FREYJA, futur bouclier ukrainien, mise sur des radars occidentaux de pointe : SAAB Giraffe, Thales Ground Master 400, Hensoldt TRML-4D, et des systèmes de ciblage Weibel ou Leonardo.

« La vraie indépendance, c’est de maîtriser ses propres technologies de défense », précise Irina Terekh, PDG de Fire Point.
Objectif : Fermer le ciel ukrainien sans dépendre des caprices politiques étrangers.
