@JulianGoldieSEO CLI vs desktop app?

A couple of days ago I said SpaceX hits $10T in under 3 years.

Today: a $60B acquisition of Cursor to build out the AI division, stock up double digits, about to pass Amazon in market cap.

This is what aggressive consolidation under one operator looks like. Still bullish.

IRAN PEACE DEAL REACHED!

People underestimate how much one shipping lane affects their life.

~20% of the world’s oil moves through Hormuz. If this deal holds and it reopens, oil drops, and that touches freight costs, manufacturing, your gas tank, all of it.

Tomorrow’s market open 🔔 just got a lot more interesting.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BOOM! WHITE SMOKE at the WHITE HOUSE, the Iran peace deal has been REACHED!

President Trump has done what they said was impossible 🇺🇸

[John Santos @mrjohnsantos]

UFC at the White House tonight. Topuria vs Gaethje for the lightweight title, Pereira vs Gane for interim heavyweight gold.

Going to be wild 🔥

[UFC @ufc]

We can't wait for tonight 🇺🇸

#UFCWhiteHouse coverage begins at 8pmET on @ParamountPlus!

[John Santos @mrjohnsantos]

Pres. Trump just declared the Iran deal done and Hormuz open.

Huge if true. I’ll believe it when tankers are actually moving and Tehran isn’t disputing the terms by tomorrow.

Watching oil markets.

[John Santos @mrjohnsantos]

The market sees a $2T space company. I see something different.

Elon’s edge was never rockets. It’s that every product solves a real need and he actually ships it. Starlink, xAI, all under one roof now.

I think SpaceX is a $10T company in under 3 years. Screenshot this one.

[John Santos @mrjohnsantos]

Woke up to the government pulling Anthropic’s most powerful AI model Fable 5 offline overnight.

I build on these tools every day. Here’s the risk nobody prices in: you can wire your whole operation around a model, and a single directive you never saw coming pulls the rug.

Own your workflows. Stay model-agnostic. Never marry one vendor.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

1. Get married.
2. Have kids.
3. Don't let the government educate them for you.

We win in one generation.
