NEWS: Elon Musk rejects the far right label in an exchange with The Economist "I support the normal people. What you call the far right, falsely." He challenged the interviewer to say what is extreme about 3 positions. "Here are the principles and tell me which of these sound terrible. That we should have secure borders, that we should have safe cities, that we should have sensible spending. Which of those three are far right fringe?" Elon then turned on the framing itself. "I would like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false and misleading and nonsense." He asked that the exchange survive the edit. "Please keep this part in." Elon said the same speeches get judged by who delivered them, describing a habit of reading Obama and Clinton speeches to people and telling them Trump said it. He named Rupert Lowe as an example of who he means by normal people. (Source: The Economist, July 2026)

WATCH: Affirm's Max Levchin says Elon Musk is "just a normal dude." Max Levchin, CEO of Affirm and a PayPal co-founder, talked about knowing Elon Musk and the rest of the "PayPal Mafia" in the early days. "We knew the true version of that person," Levchin said. "The ultra philosophical Peter Thiel, the go all in every time Elon Musk, the these days gubernatorial David Sacks." He said he saw the real Elon Musk, not the public image. "I've seen him sweaty and tired and grumpy at the company kitchen a thousand times." His takeaway is simple. These founders are not superhuman. "They're not gods, they're humans," Levchin said. "If that guy who's just a normal dude... he's going for this big of an idea, I should strive too." Source: Affirm CEO Max Levchin (Max Levchin), via a16z (a16z)

NEWS: Billionaire investor Ron Baron has placed a $1 billion order for SpaceX IPO shares and says he is not selling in his lifetime. Baron, the founder and CEO of Baron Capital, laid out his case on a client call. His firm has put about $2 billion into SpaceX across 27 employee tender rounds since 2017, a position now worth roughly $15 billion after compounding at 54% per year. He believes SpaceX, coming public at under $2 trillion, will reach $10 trillion to $30 trillion within 10 to 15 years and become the largest, most profitable company on the planet. People inside the company tell him he is lowballing it. On Starlink alone, Baron projects 300 million subscribers and about $1 trillion in annual revenue within a decade, making it worth around $14 trillion on its own.

JUST IN: Elon Musk on AI acceleration "If you can't beat them, join them." 👀 Elon says every attempt he made to slow AI ended up speeding it up "The only thing we can try to do is minimize the probability of the bad outcome." He declined to work on AI for years, then founded OpenAI as a counterweight to Google when Google had close to a monopoly on the field. Anthropic later spun out of OpenAI. "These actions have actually resulted in knock-on effects that accelerated AI, which wasn't really my intention." His conclusion is that all roads lead to acceleration, leaving 2 options. Be sad about it or join the club. (Source: The Economist, July 2026)

BREAKING: Today's Starlink V3 batch will add 26 terabits of capacity to the Starlink network. That is about 10 times the capacity of a single Falcon 9 launch of V2 mini satellites. The Starlink team has made contact with all 26 satellites. Confirmed by SpaceX business analyst Tyler Lionquist and she explained more on the livestream: > The V3 satellites debuted on the last Starship flight and are built for Starship's payload capacity. > Today is the first time SpaceX will deploy V3 satellites into an operational orbit and add them to the constellation. > On the last flight, the first V3s flew a 20-minute in-space test to study their early life in flight. > All 20 made contact with the ground and the constellation by radio frequency and laser links. > Cameras and flashlights on the satellites captured views of Starship's heat shield to help refine a fully reusable design. > The team gathered data on array and antenna deployments, thruster firings and first network connections before reentry. Starlink is SpaceX's low-Earth orbit internet, bringing high-speed connectivity on Earth and in space. Source: SpaceX

WATCH: FSD in Brussels just pulled off what the hosts called the weirdest move they had ever seen. Then it got serious. A person put themselves at risk right in front of the car. The Tesla made a move nobody saw coming and yielded to a pedestrian and the cyclists around it. The car came very close to impact. The hosts' reaction: "FSD might have saved a life." Safe for the passenger and for everyone around the car.
