Great analysis of SpaceX and Starlink by Oppenheimer Research. A must-read on Space, AI, and Drones.

@DivsAndChill Druckenmiller cared more about his track record than scaling the business. Soros and him actively clashed over the right size of the fund, which for Druckenmiller was around ~$10 billion.

Also, we don’t know the true net worth of anybody - don’t trust Forbes and like sources

"If you told me 3 months from now, all of a sudden Anthropic's revenue or OpenAI's revenue stopped or stopped growing, that would be a real problem."

I don't get it, why are they confessing?

[Сarm1ne @carm1nee]

Bill Ackman says he can turn $25 billion into a trillion dollars without hiring a single person - his track record: $1 became $28 in 22 years

this is him explaining how he's building the next Berkshire Hathaway, why he gave every retail investor full allocation, and how he picks the best businesses in the world

"a dollar invested with us 22 years ago became 27 or 28 times. we're going from $25 billion to a trillion, we don't have to hire another person"

"I said I'm going to give every retail investor a full allocation. they found themselves with about 10 times as many shares as they wanted"

"some of the best businesses in the world are trading at the lowest multiples right now. stocks of really high quality companies are incredibly cheap"

"the management team has north of $500 million invested. we've had the best 8 years in our 22-year history"

It seems a feminist society is very temporary because the women literally stop having children.

They did the same thing in 2008 with mortgage-backed securities.

Privatize the gains.

Socialize the losses.

Back then, you were the product too.

Antonio Gracias lent Elon Musk $1 million in ‘08 to save SpaceX from bankruptcy for 7.2% of the company.

It’s now worth $90 billion, making it the single greatest investment in the history of the world.

People over focus on Musk and forget the wealth he’s created for others.

[HUMAN WA$TE @Dplanet]

🚨🇿🇦 Elon's dad just did a podcast. He...

✅ Defended apartheid.
✅ Compared Tommy Robinson to Nelson Mandela.
✅ Confirmed the Musk family paid Robinson's lawyers.

He's not an embarrassing relative. He's the source code.

@Starkian7789 This is a correct inference, people who disagree do not understand how humans work
