Elon is moving so fast no other industry can keep up!

[David @DavidPiccinini]

It really is insane to think about where Elon brought us in such little time, considering we landed on the moon decades ago but couldn't get back into space... for some reason.

@KarolineGosling This gives me the "I did but can't admit it" vibes

[David @DavidPiccinini]

@nikitabier @exxfive Sounds acceptable to me. It would be enjoyable to see some fresh wildlife around here.

@wholemars No proof. No first hand witnesses. The author even says we don’t have proof but we get a strong feeling he did it.

MERGER NEWS 🚨 Reuters' latest exclusive provides some particularly important details regarding the merger between $TSLA and $SPCX 🔥

According to the report, SpaceX has approached Tesla in recent weeks. Both companies have since hired advisers, although negotiations remain at an early stage.

The structures under consideration include:
1/ SpaceX acquiring Tesla: Tesla shareholders would receive consideration for their shares, potentially including SpaceX stock.
2/ A merger under a new holding company: Both companies could become part of a newly established parent company.
3/ An all-stock transaction: Rather than paying cash, the companies could exchange shares to complete the deal.

These are possibilities being discussed, not agreed terms.

This kinda reminds me of watching nuclear blasts back in the early days.

“Hey guys! Wanna watch something cool?”

“Sure. Is it safe?”

“Of course it is. Your balls may tingle a bit though”

“Oh cool! Give me those glasses so I don’t go blind.”

NEW: The Pentagon has granted the Department of Homeland Security permission to test a heat ray weapon at the southern border.

The military-grade heat ray can shoot an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves at potential intruders.

The weapon can reach people more than half a mile away, according to the United States military.

According to the Pentagon, the heat ray weapon is non-lethal but causes a burning sensation on the skin that can last between 10 and 15 minutes.

The weapon sends an uncomfortable tingling effect on a potential intruder, generating "an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect."

Officials say the feeling is similar to the blast of heat you receive when you open up a hot oven.

@na_option You’re up!

You’re down!

$TSLA got 7 price target raises this morning.

Zero cuts. Zero downgrades.

- Piper Sandler: $475 (Overweight)
- Mizuho: $460 (Outperform)
- Canaccord: $442 (Buy)
- JPMorgan: $430 (Neutral)
- UBS: $425 (Neutral)
- Morgan Stanley: $410 (from $400)
- CLSA: $400, upgraded from Underperform to Hold

TD Cowen reiterated Buy at $460. Goldman stayed Neutral at $360.

My take?

Wall Street saw what it's buying: 75%+ FSD attach rate on new North American deliveries, positive free cash flow, and the biggest backlog in 4 years 🔥🚀

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

As crazy as this sounds, $1T in SpaceX revenue in 2028 is no longer impossible

[David @DavidPiccinini]

Having your own bot is an essential part of life.

Seems odd to say that when they’ve been releasing LLMs for a few years now but Grok @bot is different.

It’s like talking to a very smart, never forgets employee willing to do the work quickly, accurately and with options for avenues of approach.

[Abdulkadir | Cybersecurity @cyber_razz]

The NSA just told the entire internet to patch or go dark.

Effective immediately.

Not "please consider updating."

Not "we recommend patching at your earliest convenience."

Patch or unplug.

Those are the options.

The NSA doesn't issue advisories for every vulnerability.

They issue them when something is bad enough that the spy agency whose entire job is breaking into systems is worried about other people breaking into systems.

PHP powers 43 percent of the web.

The NSA just told 43 percent of the web to stop existing until it gets fixed.

Or patch in the next 24 hours and hope the attackers haven't already gotten in.

Most organizations are picking option three.

Taking it offline.

Safer to be unavailable than compromised.

The Dutch Parliament already did it.

Finland's government already did it.

University of Vienna already did it.

Now the NSA makes it official.

"If an immediate update is not feasible it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated."

Translation: you can't patch fast enough so just shut it down.

Patch takes 30 minutes.

Testing takes hours.

Deployment takes longer.

Meanwhile attackers are already inside.

So the NSA's advice is logical.

If you can't patch in 30 minutes go offline now.

Don't wait for the attacks.

Don't test first.

Don't coordinate with stakeholders.

Just unplug it.

The NSA will follow up with more specific guidance.

Which is intelligence agency speak for we're watching the attack traffic and we'll tell you what else they're doing with the access they already have.

[David @DavidPiccinini]

@elonmusk We have major problems with the people leading and the people wanting to lead this country.

[David @DavidPiccinini]

@elonmusk Nope

Bach is second best only to James Hetfield

[David @DavidPiccinini]

@na_option Explain.

Because I see 174% (18% annualized) and this seems pretty ok to me.

Unless you mean something else?

[David @DavidPiccinini]

@SawyerMerritt Open pre-orders. I’ll buy 2!!

[David @DavidPiccinini]

The largest growing segment of SpaceX is their AI.

It has surpassed Starlink for by a large margin.

[David @DavidPiccinini]

They accuse you of that which they are doing.

[David @DavidPiccinini]

Incentive drive outcomes.

Drug companies are incentivized to sell drugs.

They are not in the business of curing what ails you

[David @DavidPiccinini]

Adderall is not a prescription for bipolar disorder.

Lithium is and can work wonderfully with bipolar.

Adderall might be a secondary drug used after the lithium takes effect and things stabilize.

So, if you have somebody telling you that they take Adderall as the only prescription to cure their bipolar.

They are lying to you

[David @DavidPiccinini]

I just passed a billboard.

An advertisement from a law firm.

It said “life is short. Get a divorce.“

I think that’s horrible.

Why are lawyers such horrible people?

[David @DavidPiccinini]

If you’re traveling interstate and you find yourself forgetting which state you’re in, because you missed the sign, you don’t recognize the cities you zoom out on your map, but it doesn’t really show you what state.

Just look at the license plate on the cars.

Majority wins
