Mark Warner kept the Russia Hoax on life support for years.
Now he's blocking Bill Pulte — the one man with the access to expose exactly what he did.
@BarbaraMBoyd breaks down why Warner and Fitzpatrick are panicking. 👇

Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state!

We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come.

An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before.

Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality.

Welcome to Indiana!

Woah! Elon actually gave breaking news in his JP Morgan interview today with Jamie Dimon.

Optimus robots will be connected to Starlink! He made it clear that “AI robots” have huge connectivity bandwidth requirements and thus Starlink will have to up its game to support them. This implies that Optimus may have hybrid AI models, both on robot models and off robot cloud models.

He expects Starlink to orbit 100,000 satellites, 10x more than today, and future satellites will be half the distance from the earth than the current constellation, reducing latency accordingly. Currently Starlink sats orbit around 550 km, so new satellites would be around 300 km. This would support much lower latency (maybe down to 12 ms or so) as well as support Direct To Cell much better for worldwide cellular satellite communications.

The new V3 satellites will be 10-20 times more capable than the V2 satellites. They use three proprietary “beyond” state of the art chips that SpaceX designed. Jamie mentioned that this constellation might supplant or at least supplement ocean fiber optic cables. Each Starship should be able to launch 50 of these much larger satellites at a time.

Don’t sleep on SpaceX’s lunar ambitions. Elon likened SpaceX to Union Pacific and the hotels it built as they were building the railway across the country. Elon said vacation hotels on the moon were a distinct possibility. Jamie joked that he never thought he’d see Elon enter the hospitality business.

And continuing the transport analogies, Elon pointed out that Starship’s propellant (natural gas/oxygen) is cheaper than jet fuel. He said that in theory you should be able to transport cargo into space at a lower cost than trans oceanic airplane flights.

Btw, SpaceX develops and manufactures its own space lasers for inter-satellite communications (more vertical manufacturing).

Other news. SpaceX has been self funded since 2015 or so, never raising any money in the past ten years. The various rounds since then were liquidity rounds for employees.

Elon said that data centers in space should be much easier to do than Starlink satellites. The space data centers are initially intended to allow others to put their own chips and software into them making them a co-location data center model, which is pretty wild. Kinda like extending the anthropic Colossus rental deal, but in space.

In the future they will make their own space specific data center chips and run their own AI software.

Terafab is to address the next limiting factor in chip manufacturing. For instance there are ZERO memory fabs in the US right now. Classic Elon, address supply chain before it becomes an issue just like he did for EV batteries and lithium refining.

SpaceX is not only is supplying the US military with the Starshield product based on Starlink, but Elon stated they do other classified work.

Here is @SpaceX's full IPO roadshow presentation from CFO Bret Johnson, who has been CFO at the company for the last 15 years.

It's worth watching.
