[Commonwealth Fusion Systems @CFS_energy]

Fusion is coming... to Chesterfield County, Virginia.

In an enormous development for CFS and for the commercialization of fusion energy, we've committed to build the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant, ARC, in Virginia.

We'll independently finance, build, own, and operate this first-of-its-kind technology so we can start generating clean, carbon-free energy in the early 2030's. We'll also collaborate with @DominionEnergy Virginia to help smooth ARC's path to the grid, benefitting from their development and technical expertise while helping the utility learn about fusion.

Check out what this means for CFS here: https://t.co/FkqOXwuQ2P

The Falcon fleet’s life leading rocket completed its 19th and final launch and landing on December 23. This one reusable rocket booster alone launched to orbit 2 astronauts and more than 860 satellites — totaling 260+ metric tons — in ~3.5 years

The Mag seven stocks alone have pushed the S&P 500 up >12% YTD.

No other year in history has seen this level of concentration in returns.

In the 50s and 60s, Yugoslav president Tito didn't want to import Soviet or American movies so instead he imported Mexican films. Everyone loved them so much that they started singing ranchera music and wearing sombreros

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Excited to announce that @SpaceX @Starlink has achieved breakeven cash flow! Excellent work by a great team.

Starlink is also now a majority of all active satellites and will have launched a a majority of all satellites cumulatively from Earth by next year.

The hottest topic in the markets is how much higher rates will hurt.

It may not be that painful.

Non-financial corporations are getting a bigger benefit from higher interest income than the drag from higher interest expenses.

Their financial position is improving.

They did it! @fireflyspace did it! They had only 24 hours to launch their Alpha rocket to demonstrate rapid response capabilities! Really an impressive feat for only their third launch ever!!!
