This is absolutely insane:
The SpaceX IPO has now drawn more than $70 BILLION worth of retail orders alone.
SpaceX is raising $75 billion, making retail interest ALONE enough to nearly fill the entire sale.
To put this in perspective, the previous record IPO was Saudi Aramco in 2020 at $29.4 billion.
This means that retail interest in SpaceX is now 2.4 TIMES larger than the total amount raised in the previous largest IPO in history.
As a result, SpaceX has announced that 20% of their IPO will be allocated to retail investors, following through on @elonmusk's vision to democratize the record IPO.
Nothing even remotely near what SpaceX is about to do has ever happened.
Friday will be a historic day.
La mañana del 9 de febrero de 1969 amaneció fría y gris en Everett, Washington, a lo largo de la pista de Paine Field, cientos de personas observaban en silencio una máquina que muchos consideraban imposible.
Frente a ellos estaba el #Boeing 747.
El avión más grande jamás construido.
Sus críticos aseguraban que era
demasiado pesado, demasiado grande y demasiado complejo para volar. Algunos incluso creían que el proyecto terminaría hundiendo a Boeing, y en realidad, estuvieron cerca de tener razón.
La compañía había apostado prácticamente todo su futuro a aquel avión. Miles de millones de dólares, una deuda gigantesca y el trabajo de más de 50,000 personas dependían de lo que estaba a punto de ocurrir.
A las 11:34 de la mañana, el piloto de pruebas Jack Waddell adelantó las palancas de potencia.
Los cuatro motores rugieron.
El enorme avión comenzó a acelerar.
Cada vez más rápido.
Y más rápido.
Hasta que, a unos 264 km/h, ocurrió lo impensable.
La punta se elevó.
Las ruedas dejaron la pista.
Y el gigante voló.
Durante una hora y quince minutos, la tripulación llevó al prototipo N7470, conocido como City of Everett, a través de una serie de pruebas que demostraron que el proyecto era viable.
Cuando regresaron a tierra, Waddell resumió la experiencia con una frase que quedó para la historia:
"El sueño de un piloto."
Aquella mañana no solo despegó un avión, despegó una nueva era para la aviación.
El 747 transportaría a cientos de millones de pasajeros, serviría como Air Force One, llevaría al Transbordador Espacial sobre su espalda y se convertiría en uno de los símbolos más reconocibles de la historia aeronáutica.
Más de cinco décadas después, su característica silueta sigue despertando admiración en quienes miran al cielo ytodo comenzó aquella fría mañana de domingo, cuando un gigante demostró que los escépticos estaban equivocados.
✈️ El Boeing 747 no solo cambió la aviación. Le enseñó al mundo que lo imposible también puede despegar.
Aquí una foto de ese momento 👇 alguna vez han viajado en un 747?
Lo que se hizo en Zapopan merece reconocimiento. Más de 250 mujeres de Etzatlán tejieron una obra monumental que hoy luce rumbo al Mundial 2026. Trabajo, talento, identidad y tradición mexicana. Quedó espectacular. Felicidades a quienes hicieron posible este proyecto.
Okay this is genuinely insane.
SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.
It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.
AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.
They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.
So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.
In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.
And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."
One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.
AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.
And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.
The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

Clubbing is dead and has been replaced by fitness & wellness.
Ppl used to party to socialize and date but now they do things like HYROX, bathhouses, and running raves.
The death of clubbing is something to be studied:
— US has lost 12% of its nightclubs in the last 24 months
— 25% of US adults didn’t drink at all last year
— Gen Z drinks 30% less than Millennials did at the same age
On the flip side:
— According to Strava, the number of running clubs recorded on the platform increased 3.5x in 2025
— 72% of Gen Z go to run clubs to meet new people
— Sauna and spa market: $11.8B → $22.4B by 2034
The post-alcohol economy is gonna be a massive category.
Stanley Druckenmiller averaged 30% a year for 30 years without a single losing year
Paul Tudor Jones asked him on stage what made him different from everyone else - his answer: size
"I put 350% long into one bond trade - 200 to 300% of my fund into a single currency - put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket carefully"
"I've never used a stop loss in 40 years - I exit when the reason I bought changes, not when the price is down"
"the world changed on 9/11, the world changed when the wall came down, the world changed election night - these moments set in place two to four-year trends you can play"

Me levanto, doy un vistazo a las noticias y de verdad veo que este país ya se fue a la mierda. Ya se que me van a decir está cuenta es de puros aviones dedícate a eso! Está cuenta es personal, y alratito seguimos con los aviones, pero este país se fue a la mierda (incluye a todos los partidos políticos)
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

🇮🇷 Every single stock on the Tehran Stock Exchange closed green today. Not one in the red.
First time in the exchange's history.
Iran's market is pricing in the deal before the ink exists. When a population that's been cut off from the internet for 5 months sees every stock go green on the same day, they know something is coming.
The Supreme Leader hasn't signed. The terms are still disputed. The market already decided.
