This is big. NVIDIA and Apple just unlocked the next level for Vision Pro with CloudXR. Here’s what you need to know: It streams from a PC or the cloud directly to your Vision Pro. No cables. Up to 4K at 120fps. The technology is called dynamic foveated streaming. Your eyes only see in full resolution at the center of your gaze. CloudXR tracks exactly where you’re looking and delivers maximum resolution there. Everything in your periphery gets optimized. The stream stays efficient without you ever noticing a difference. Why does this matter? Vision Pro is already the most advanced spatial computer ever made. But standalone processing has a ceiling. There are workflows that need more compute than any headset can carry. CloudXR removes that ceiling by connecting Vision Pro to the full power of NVIDIA RTX in real time. This is not a workaround. It is a native visionOS integration. Also worth knowing. Gaze data never leaves your device. Not to the app. Not to the server. Developers get the full performance benefit of foveation without ever touching your raw eye tracking data. Privacy built into the architecture. Three industries are already on this: Kia, Rivian, and Volvo are running 1:1 scale design reviews with photorealistic accuracy. Full size vehicle models evaluated in spatial computing before a physical prototype exists. That is a fundamental shift in how design works. Foxconn is walking factory floors digitally, optimizing facilities before construction begins. Switch is managing data center infrastructure through a full digital twin. Companies using this approach are reporting up to 30% improvement in development processes. And sim enthusiasts finally get to cut the cord. iRacing and X-Plane 12 are the first titles. Full GeForce RTX power, streamed wirelessly to Vision Pro, inside your physical space. For developers: one Xcode template, one codebase, deployed across Vision Pro, iPhone, and iPad. And multiple headsets can share the same streamed environment at once. Some fully immersed, others on a tablet. That collaborative layer is what enterprise has been asking for. Coming this spring with visionOS 26.4. It’s wild to think about what this unlocks. The future of spatial computing is incredibly bright. Live from GTC. More coming soon.

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, with 1548 horsepower, as a true production vehicle, recorded a 7:04.957 Nürburgring lap time in June 2025, breaking the previous records held by Rimac Nevera (7:05.298) and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT (7:07.55). In a run against our BMW i4 M50, the SU7 made it feel as if we were driving a broken B58 in an M2. But stepping back before the final driving impression — our inspection of the vehicle brutally impressed us. Unlike mainstream media that focuses on panel gaps, leather on the gear selector, and other superficial “cup holder review” topics, we went a bit deeper under the surface. The first – and essentially the only serious downside – is that the car has SGW (Secure Gateway), meaning the OBD diagnostic port is locked. By searching for the powertrain CAN bus somewhere along the wiring harness, we were able to manually access the PT network, bypass the SGW, sniff the network and capture packets. The battery system is Qilin 2, with a CATL-derived BMS stack with only minor modifications (similar approach as seen in Xpeng and NIO). On the powertrain side, the CAN network looks very similar to a UAES/Bosch architecture (0x1A0–0x1AF). The official diagnostic tool costs around €10,000, but we are already developing our own tool so we can support this rocket within our service ecosystem. The BMS is an 800V system with 214 NMC prismatic cells in series, forming a 93.7 kWh battery pack tailored for high performance. The car offers up to 630 km (391 miles) CLTC range. It supports 800V fast charging, capable of 10–80% in just 11 minutes (5.2C rate). The pack supports 16C discharge, while the battery mass is 638 kg. The vehicle comes fully in track-focused configuration: massive ceramic brake discs, pads, calipers, wheels, and tires. Unlike the Model S Plaid, this car can take repeated track abuse for 6–7 hours continuously. The rear motor is a dual-unit setup with torque vectoring, which works brutally well but requires proper understanding of the system and tuning in Track Mode. The operating system is HyperOS, very similar to Tesla’s system — perhaps even more detailed in some aspects. Interior quality is excellent, driving characteristics are outstanding, and the overall ride comfort is surprisingly well balanced. The seats are actually more comfortable than those in the BMW i4. Now for the most interesting part. When disassembling interior plastics and cosmetic components, we discovered a surprisingly strong similarity to Tesla Model 3 / Model S next-generation chassis design. The front shock tower, shotgun rails, front HVAC carrier, even the rear seat clips — underneath, the battery penthouse layout, wiring routing, reinforcements, and cable positioning look extremely familiar. The vehicle weighs 2360 kg, while the full-carbon prototype series reportedly weighs around 1900 kg. impression? The overall quality of the vehicle is impressive for a company building its first electric car, especially considering it already broke every major performance record. A similar precedent happened once before — when Tesla introduced the Model S. The SU7 Ultra “democratizes” 1550 horsepower for under €100,000 — performance that is now literally accessible to everyone. Some street racing veterans spend over €250,000 on forged internals, turbo systems, and tuning just to reach similar numbers. Conclusion? This car doesn’t just challenge the German automotive industry — in this segment, it completely dominates it and practically euthanizes it. Every major component on this vehicle has been internally developed and manufactured in China, and pushed very close to perfection. The only thing we still don’t know is how repairable and serviceable the vehicle will be long-term — and only mileage and time will answer that question. Would we have one? Yes! We have already ordered one and started building the import and homologation network. Among our previous favorites — Tesla and BMW — this one is now clearly #1.

When Elon Musk and Tesla let me, and millions of other owners, add our own cars to the Tesla Robotaxi network via a software update, it’s going to be the greatest wealth CREATION in human history. I get it. For the first time ever, a Tesla will become an $ income producing asset bc your Tesla will be able to drive itself while you’re sleeping, working, or even on vacation. This is NOT a sci-fi idea anymore. Elon has been clear for years. The hardware is already in the cars and the thing that will unlock this is going to be software. Here’s a simple version of how it’s going to work imo: 1/ A software update turns your Tesla into a robotaxi 2/ You opt in with one tap in the Tesla app 3/ Your car gives rides when you’re not using it 4/ Tesla takes a cut, you keep the rest 5/ You can pull your car out anytime, you have full control Think Airbnb, but for cars. Now on the $ generation side, this is where it can get a bit wild. Elon has said a high use robotaxi could generate ~$30,000 per year per car, and even more in busy cities. That means, 1/ A car payment pays for itself 2/ A car can become your own business 3/ And for some people, this can allow them to become financially free Elon even said robotaxi earnings should far exceed monthly car payments... this will completely flip how we think about owning a vehicle. A lot of long time Tesla investors call this the “greatest wealth transfer in history”… Elon corrected that and said something important: “Not transfer of wealth, CREATION of wealth. The pie gets much bigger.” And I believe he’s right. Autonomy makes transportation cheaper, safer, and available 24/7. This saves time, reduces accidents, lowers costs for everyone, and unlocks $ trillions of dollars in new economic value that NEVER existed before. Elon has also said: “The day FSD (w/ this Robotaxi feature) goes to wide release will be one of the biggest asset value increases in history.” That will be the day when cars are viewed as an appreciating asset instead of a depreciating asset! The scale is hard to wrap my head around tbh bc: • There are already millions of Teslas on the road • Even a small % opt-in rate creates massive fleets overnight, Waymo is screwed imo with their peanut sized 2,500 fleet • No new factories are needed • No new drivers needed Just pure AI software. Bro… this moment is going to be REALLY big. This could be the first time in human history where regular people like you and me get access to automation and making $ at scale, instead of only the big players and corporations. And when this switch flips, the way we view a car, specifically a Tesla will never look the same again. (FYI, once Elon and Tesla give me the green light, I plan on buying ~25 Teslas outright and put them into the Robotaxi network to show the world exactly what I mean)

At 12:20am on July 4th in the Idaho desert, I watched dozens of engineers hold their breath. Then the neutron counters confirmed it: self-sustaining chain reaction. The Aalo Atomics reactor was critical! Everyone erupted. Cheers, hugs, and a few tears. Three years ago this company was an idea on a whiteboard. We backed them then. This weekend they took a full-scale core critical – the first new sodium-cooled reactor in America in over four decades. Built in under 8 months from groundbreaking. The federal deadline for criticality was July 4th. They made it 20 minutes in. Criticality means the chain reaction is self-sustaining. Every fission triggers exactly one more, no external neutron source needed. It happens at near-zero power. It proves that the core geometry, the fuel, and the control systems all behave exactly as modeled. What makes this one different: the core Aalo took critical is already sized for 30 MW thermal / 10 MW electric once coolant and power conversion are added. That's roughly an order of magnitude larger than the other startup reactors that recently went critical. And this design IS the product: five reactors around one turbine, a 50 MW factory-built pod purpose-designed for AI data centers. No major redesign needed. From here: power ascension to 30 MW thermal, endurance runs, turbine sync, then powering a co-located data center in 2027. In 1951, this same desert made the first electricity from atomic energy. Enough for four lightbulbs. 74 years later, the lightbulbs are GPUs. Second atomic age. Same desert. So grateful I got to see it!

The Cybercab is aiming to produce 2 million units per year. Let this sink in. Today, Tesla produces about ~1.7 million vehicles per year total, across its entire lineup. And now Tesla is preparing to outproduce that with one single vehicle, a fully autonomous one. This is Elon and Tesla going ALL-IN on autonomy. Production is scheduled to start April 2026 at Giga Texas, with volume ramping throughout the year. And as of early 2026, Cybercab prototypes are already being tested around the U.S. The Tesla Cybercab is built from the ground up for unsupervised autonomy. There is no steering wheel and no pedals, just cameras, AI, and Tesla’s custom inference computers. No lidar and radar like other companies, just pure vision and software. Elon put it best on the Q3 2024 earnings call: “It’s not just a revolutionary vehicle design, but a revolution in vehicle manufacturing that is also coming with the Cybercab.” That quote matters a lot bc that means the entire way a vehicle is manufactured is changing with the Cybercab. Tesla is designing what Elon calls “the machine that builds the machine.” The Cybercab uses Tesla’s unboxed manufacturing process, where major sections are built in parallel instead of one long assembly line. There are fewer parts, less steps & cost, and faster scale. That’s how you make 2 million Cybercabs per year possible. FYI, this is not going to be easy though. Elon has been brutally honest about production for many years: • “Prototypes are easy, production is hard.” • “The extreme difficulty of scaling production of new technology is poorly understood. It’s 1000% to 10,000% harder than making a few prototypes.” • “For cars, it’s maybe 100 times harder to design the manufacturing system than the car itself.” He reinforced this again in January 2026 when talking about Cybercab and Optimus on 𝕏: “Initial production is always very slow and follows an S-curve. The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportional to how many new parts and steps there are. For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow - but eventually end up being insanely fast.” This is the key thing most people miss about Tesla manufacturing. Early output will be slow by design. Almost everything is new like the vehicle architecture, factory layout, AI hardware, and manufacturing flow. But once it works and clicks, it begins to scale hard. Tesla already proved they can do this. They survived Model 3 production hell. They turned Model Y into the BEST selling car in the world, of any kind. They ramped Cybertruck, which has over 30,000+ unique parts, to meaningful volume. Elon summed it up perfectly in 2024: “Compared to the insane pain of reaching high volume, positive margin production, prototypes are a piece of cake.” That’s why Tesla makes manufacturing look easy bc they already earned the scars from the last vehicle lineups. The Cybercab is aiming to be: 1/ Under $30,000 price 2/ ~$0.20 per mile operating cost 3/ 200+ mile range 4/ Up to 5x utilization vs personal cars 5/ Designed to run nearly nonstop 24/7 This is what you call manufacturing + AI + autonomy converging at scale. The competitors are still showing prototypes and demos, while Tesla is building new production lines, expanding factories, and actually building the product. I remember when Elon told me in the past that one of Tesla’s key advantage long term was going to be manufacturing technology. I get it now.

Snapple Facts 1. Never recruited by Ohio State. 2. I was so confident in my ability as a player that I called OSU up and told them I was committing to their school without an offer. They didn’t say yes or no. Tressel laughed and was like … “I guess”. 3. The whole “graduate in January” from high school started from me trying to graduate my junior year. I had so much success my junior year that I said I didn’t want to return my senior year and that I wanted to go to college. I couldn’t graduate because I didn’t have all of my English credits. I took my senior English class in the summer of my junior year and that positioned me to leave after senior year of football. Once I knew I was good I was on a mission to get to college because Youngstown was so wild. 4. I was 4th on the depth chart up until 2 weeks before the season. I played a lot of special teams and scout team. Scout team was how I got better. I never knew that our defense would be #1 in the country that year. I had an entire spring/fall practicing against them. That’s what ultimately made me better. Scout team reps are gold to a wise man and trash to a player with an ego. Reps get you better… doesn’t matter if it’s scout team or with the ones. You need reps to gain experience and wisdom. 5. I talk passionately about player compensation because me not being able to afford a transmission for my car ultimately altered my collegiate experience. I helped generate 10’s of millions of dollars to a college in many ways but couldn’t pay $2k to get a car fixed to get back and forth to school. That sent me searching for alternatives. When you generate that much money you shouldn’t be in a position to have to search alternative ways…. That’s why I’m happy for NIL but we still have a long way to go with distribution of revenue in the collegiate space. 6. Football was and still is a means to an end for a lot of us players. Listen to the words I say in the beginning of the video. I don’t say “I love football”. I say “I love hard work and I happen to be good at football”. At the core of it I love progress and I have work ethic. Whatever vehicle is going to help me achieve my dreams I’m rolling with it.

I played a lot of special teams and scout team. Scout team was how I got better. I never knew that our defense would be #1 in the country that year. I had an entire spring/fall practicing against them. That’s what ultimately made me better. Scout team reps are gold to a wise man and trash to a player with an ego. Reps get you better… doesn’t matter if it’s scout team or with the ones. You need reps to gain experience and wisdom. 5. I talk passionately about player compensation because me not being able to afford a transmission for my car ultimately altered my collegiate experience. I helped generate 10’s of millions of dollars to a college in many ways but couldn’t pay $2k to get a car fixed to get back and forth to school. That sent me searching for alternatives. When you generate that much money you shouldn’t be in a position to have to search alternative ways…. That’s why I’m happy for NIL but we still have a long way to go with distribution of revenue in the collegiate space. 6. Football was and still is a means to an end for a lot of us players. Listen to the words I say in the beginning of the video. I don’t say “I love football”. I say “I love hard work and I happen to be good at football”. At the core of it I love progress and I have work ethic. Whatever vehicle is going to help me achieve my dreams I’m rolling with it.

Pony Up or Sell the Tigers, Chrissy Mike Illitch spent big to get the Tigers to the World Series in 2012, but his son has cut the team’s payroll by 27% since By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Detroit — Chris Ilitch is a bum. The tightwad owner of the Detroit Tigers wouldn’t pay for a professional hitter or a competent pitcher at the trading deadline, and now the club is out of the playoffs. I hear some armchair analysts claiming Ilitch has, in fact, spent money to improve the club. But that’s just not true. The numbers: The last time the Tigers made it to the World Series was in 2012 when Ilitch’s father, Mike, was guiding the club and spending whatever it took to win a championship. Back then, the Tigers had the fifth-highest opening day payroll in major league baseball. Adjusted for inflation, that payroll was $190 million in today’s dollars. This year’s opening day payroll was $138 million, ranking 17th in the major leagues. That is a 27% cut over 13 years. Over that same time period—again adjusted for inflation—the average MLB payroll increased 47%. See where I’m going with this? Chrissy is a skinflint. Ilitch took full control of the club in 2017, following the death of his father, who was laid to rest in a million-dollar suburban mausoleum built with Sierra White granite imported from California. (Michigan has granite, why not buy locally?) Since Chrissy took the reins, the Tigers’ record is a combined 592-761, the sixth worst in baseball. See where I’m going with this? Chrissy is a penny pincher. And when his staff is given the greenlight to spend some money, the baseball decisions are bush league. This past offseason, the Tigers spent $15 million on a pitcher who never made the club. Another $20 million for a pitcher who finished this season with an 8-15 record. And an additional $7.5 million for a closer with a 4.43 ERA. Most galling of all are the welfare checks Ilitch sucks from Detroit, the poorest big city in America. The Ilitch family is fantastically wealthy. Little Caesars Pizza, Inc. is valued at $7 billion. The Motor City Casino pulls in more than $385 million a year. The Detroit Red Wings are valued at $2.5 billion. And the Tigers’ estimated value is $1.5 billion. The thing about the Tigers and Red Wings, however, is that their total worth includes the value of the stadiums where they play, both of which are paid for and owned by the public. Ilitch pays $1 a year to “lease” the publicly financed stadiums but keeps all the revenue from the beer, pizza, jersey and ticket sales. The bond payments for Little Caesars Arena are more than $20 million a year for the next 30 years. That’s enough to keep Skubal around. See where I’m going with this? Ilitch is a mooch. No professional sports owner siphons more out of his community than Chrissy Icehole. We deserve a winner in Detroit. A decent beer at a decent price. A hot dog that’s actually edible. And a stadium with a place to smoke a cigarette. But we’re not gonna get any of that with Ilitch. Sell the club, you bum.

Doubling down on my $RIVN Investment! Here are all the reasons why: • Founder RJ (RJ Scaringe), an MIT grad, is brilliant, hands-on, and laser-focused on Rivian (not building 7 different companies) • Rivian is the ONLY other company (besides $TSLA) that has already built a full EV stack: - cutting-edge software - top-tier manufacturing - in-house battery tech - in-house electronics & FSD/AI hardware - in-house top-tier AI and full self driving team - in-house fast-charging network (similar to Tesla super chargers) • Rivian is the ONLY other company that is shipping an 8-camera surround view and powerful onboard computer for FSD in EVERY vehicle. They can collect enormous amounts of real-world video (2nd only to Tesla) to train their AI. Can’t believe no traditional car maker is doing this yet! • Rivian’s FSD/AI team is led by top talent making rapid progress on FSD using latest AI neural net techniques, similar to Tesla’s FSD v12+. • Rivian’s R1 Truck and SUV are both highly rated and loved by customers • Rivian’s Delivery van is a unique offering that is also loved by customers • Rivan’s R2 vehicle (to be launched in 2026) is intended to be high-volume and will likely be a great alternative to the Model Y and drive the company to profitability (note that it doesn't need to beat Model Y...the shift is from gas-cars to EVs). • Rivian’s $5.8B parnership with VW proves that Rivian is FAR ahead in software/tech/electronics than any other traditional car company (remember VW is the world’s largest car manufacturer and they still need Rivian’s help for EVs!) • Rivan’s ~$13 Billion market cap is RIDICULOUSLY LOW for a company that is as accomplished with real-world products that customers love. That said, there are RISKS with Rivian: • Scaling & production challenges could delay Rivian’s progress • They are still losing A LOT of money every quarter and if progress to profitability takes too long, they could run out of money and be forced to raise money at unfavorable terms. But if Rivian becomes a viable and profitable company, in say 5 years from now, producing 500K+ vehicles, it could easily have a $200 Billion valuation (less than 1/7th or 15% of $TSLA’s valuation TODAY!) That’s roughly a 1,500% potential upside, with just a 100% downside, making this bet well worth it for me, even if the probability of success is less than 50/50. So that's why I’m doubling down on $RIVN. 🚀

Exclusive: Vivek Ramaswamy Supported COVID Segregation 🧵 “Could we tolerate a national system in which certain people on the basis of a biomarker are segregated?” That sounds like an excerpt from a science fiction novel about a medical dystopia. But it’s a quote from Vivek Ramaswamy, the biopharma entrepreneur and Republican presidential candidate. In April 2020, as the U.S. went into lockdown, Ramaswamy said he would be open to that kind of system to determine who could “go back to normal life.” He described it as an “inequity,” but concluded that “everyone stands to benefit from it.” Ramaswamy made the comments during an episode of Rockefeller Client Insights, the podcast of Rockefeller Capital Management. A concept like that is sharply at odds with the image of the civil libertarian he has cultivated during the primary. It also raises questions about his anti-establishment bona fides. During the podcast, Ramaswamy talked about different aspects of the coronavirus outbreak with Gregory J. Fleming, the president and CEO of Rockefeller Capital Management. Fleming asked him what a “path to normalcy” might look like, given what he described as a “potentially extended timeline” for the rollout of vaccines and treatments. The country was then more than 15 days into “15 days to slow the spread.” “One path to normalcy and a path that I’d like to see further progress made on is broad rollout of our antibody tests,” Ramaswamy said. He corrected himself and continued: “It’s not our company; I’m saying, as a society, rolling out the antibody tests such that we actually get our arms around what portion of the population is already immune through exposures that they may not have even known that they had. It might be 10 percent, it might be 20 percent, we might discover that it is some higher number. Those people are gonna be able to get back to work pretty quickly, get back to normal life because effectively they have the immunity badge, they have a badge in the form of their antibodies that protect them best we know from reinfection. On the flip side, you then have the people who don’t have immunity, and the question is those who are negative on the antibody tests, what happens with them? Now, this has been—I’ve had discussions in the last few days with policymakers, a couple of people in Congress, one U.S. Senator, and I think this is not lost on folks. But I think one early topic that’s come up is, could we tolerate a national system in which certain people on the basis of a biomarker are segregated? To say you can’t go back to normal life, where certain people get a head start. Is that an inequity we would tolerate? I personally think that it is better than the status quo if we can send 10 or 20 percent of the people back on the basis of having immunity that’s proven on the basis of a lab-based result that’s now available. That’s a good thing, and everyone stands to benefit from it.” A draft for discussion obtained by Contra shows Ramaswamy pitched this strategy to policymakers. “After its apex of COVID-19 cases, each state should start to administer universal antibody testing to determine which individuals have immunity to SARS-Cov-2 and which individuals do not,” he wrote. “Individuals with immunity can return to normal life, be released from social distancing practices, and help restart the economy.” “States should also have a well-designed plan for who should be released from social distancing norms to help revive the economy in advance of the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine,” he added.

things keeping me up at night about where AI is actually going: 1. "ambient businesses" are coming. basically, agents monitor the market, handle customers, execute decisions. you check in every few days. 7-8 figure businesses with almost no daily human input. we're early but it's happening. 2. you can now build a company in an hour. grab an idea, vibe code it, add stripe, get a customer. the old timeline was 12 months to first revenue. that's just gone. 3. the internet went app store era → API economy → agent economy. we're now in the part where agents hire other agents on the fly. fixed tech stacks are dissolving. nobody's built the glassdoor for AI agents yet. 4. vertical AI is replacing headcount. that's 10x the market that vertical SaaS ever touched. boring industries like insurance, construction, legal, elder care are the goldmine. 5. SaaS pricing is flipping from per seat to per result. someone is going to build a billion dollar business just by converting legacy SaaS companies to outcome based pricing 6. a whole graveyard of generic SaaS is coming. basic CRMs, analytics dashboards, template marketplaces, scheduling tools. agents just do it better. lots of incumbent saas that are generic and not reinventing themselves right now will struggle/reprice. 7. "human made" is becoming the new luxury. porsche already ran a 100% human made ad campaign. no AI is going to be a premium label like organic is for food. there's a real business in that certification. 8. IRL is having a renaissance. when everything is AI generated, being in a room with other humans becomes scarce. karaoke bars, escape rooms, live music, co-working. the experience economy is accelerating. 9. founder market fit is dead. founder agent fit is what matters now. can you direct a fleet of agents like a film director? that's the new unfair advantage. 10. ghost team org charts are coming. two real people, twelve agents with names, faces, personalities. your about page is going to look the same 11. 1000 true fans is now 100. agents cut your costs so much that 100 customers at $500/mo is a real solo business. micro monopolies across multiple niches. this is the playbook. 12. context window poisoning is the new phishing. cybersecurity hasn't caught up. agents have access to your files, email, bank accounts. bad things are going to happen. it's also a massive startup opportunity. 13. the window is open for maybe 12-24 months. then the moats get built like data, brand, trust, network 14. build cost is basically zero. audiences are underpriced. niches are wide open. idk about you but i'm not sleeping much so much opportunity this is the most asymmetric time to be building a startup. full episode on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 to get your creative juices flowing (latest episode get it where you listen/watch pods) no advertisers, just pure ideas to help you im rooting for you don't just bookmark share with a friend watch

In 2007, Elon Musk predicted: SpaceX will replace the space shuttle by 2011. Tesla will make a $30,000 car. Solar power will be “a really big deal.” SpaceX had never reached orbit. Tesla had never delivered a car. He spent 20 minutes explaining everything he saw coming: The interviewer pushed back. What about Richard Branson? "What Branson is doing is a much smaller technological challenge. His craft is suborbital. It goes to Mach 3. Our craft is orbital. Mach 25." "But that doesn't describe the whole scale of difficulty. The energy required scales to the square of velocity." "To do what Branson is doing, you need 9 units of energy. To do what we're doing, you need 625." "What Branson is building can cross the English Channel. What we're building can circumnavigate the globe." "I still think what he's doing is great. I bought a ticket on his effort. But it's not in the same league technologically." So what does worry him? "The things that can really hurt SpaceX are our own foolishness. Our own errors. But none of the competition that I'm aware of." This was 2007. SpaceX had never reached orbit. He had already mapped the future. "When the shuttle retires in 2010, starting in 2011, SpaceX's rocket will replace the space shuttle in servicing the space station." It happened. "The Model 2 of Tesla is a $49,000 four-door five-passenger sedan. The Model 3 is intended to be around a $30,000 price point. That's affordable by almost everyone who can buy a new car." It happened. The interviewer asked about his trajectory. From physics at Stanford to Zip2 to PayPal to rockets. "When I graduated from college, there were three areas I thought would be most impactful to the future of humanity." "The internet. Space exploration. And changing the economy from a hydrocarbon-based economy to one which is solar electric." He built companies in all three. The interviewer asked about NASA. "There's a confusion in the public mind that SpaceX is competing with NASA. NASA is a customer of ours." He asked about the space program. "In 1969 we were able to go to the moon. Here we are over three decades later and we can barely get to low Earth orbit. By any measure, that is a step backwards." "If you look at news articles in the late 60s, the expectation was that by the 21st century we would have a moon base and probably a Mars base." "If you'd asked anyone at that point whether we would be unable to go to the moon and not have been to Mars, they would think you're crazy." The interviewer asked about the moon. "I don't think we should be going back to the moon. We should be focused on Mars." "The moon is kind of like the Arctic. Very barren. Very little resources. Not a place we could establish another human civilization." "We saw that movie in the 60s. The remake's never as good." Then came the lifestyle question. You've made a fortune. Ever thought about sitting on a beach drinking beer? "I find that really pretty boring. That would be torture if I had to do that every day." "I really need to be preoccupied with something. If I'm just sitting there relaxing, I can only do that for a very short period of time and then it becomes unbearable." A friend of his has a phrase for startups. "A startup is like eating glass and staring into the abyss." So why do it? "For me it's always about: does what I'm doing matter if we are successful? Does it matter to the world?" "There are easier ways to make money than starting a rocket company or a car company." "The interest in Tesla is not that the world needs another car company. It's that we have a very important environmental problem. Global climate change is going to be one of the most significant issues of the 21st century." "The only way to get around that is with an electric vehicle paired with zero-emission power generation. Solar power is going to be a really big deal." The interviewer asked about selling Tesla to a big car company. "Right now the big car companies believe that a viable electric vehicle is not possible, and even if it was, people wouldn't buy it." "We need to show that neither of those are true. That the technology works. That people want to buy it." "If we sold to one of the big car companies, it would really slow things down." On his daily routine: "I'm not an early morning person. I tend to get up around 7:30 or 8 and be in the office around 9:30. But I stay until about 8pm." On his office: "I just have a cubicle at SpaceX. Surrounded by my colleagues." On legacy: "What I'd like to do is help solve some important problems." "With respect to space, I hope to help make humanity a multiplanetary species." This 20 minute interview will teach you more about vision, ambition, and betting on yourself than every biography combined. Bookmark & give it 20 minutes today, no matter what.

"I don't think we should be going back to the moon. We should be focused on Mars." "The moon is kind of like the Arctic. Very barren. Very little resources. Not a place we could establish another human civilization." "We saw that movie in the 60s. The remake's never as good." Then came the lifestyle question. You've made a fortune. Ever thought about sitting on a beach drinking beer? "I find that really pretty boring. That would be torture if I had to do that every day." "I really need to be preoccupied with something. If I'm just sitting there relaxing, I can only do that for a very short period of time and then it becomes unbearable." A friend of his has a phrase for startups. "A startup is like eating glass and staring into the abyss." So why do it? "For me it's always about: does what I'm doing matter if we are successful? Does it matter to the world?" "There are easier ways to make money than starting a rocket company or a car company." "The interest in Tesla is not that the world needs another car company. It's that we have a very important environmental problem. Global climate change is going to be one of the most significant issues of the 21st century." "The only way to get around that is with an electric vehicle paired with zero-emission power generation. Solar power is going to be a really big deal." The interviewer asked about selling Tesla to a big car company. "Right now the big car companies believe that a viable electric vehicle is not possible, and even if it was, people wouldn't buy it." "We need to show that neither of those are true. That the technology works. That people want to buy it." "If we sold to one of the big car companies, it would really slow things down." On his daily routine: "I'm not an early morning person. I tend to get up around 7:30 or 8 and be in the office around 9:30. But I stay until about 8pm." On his office: "I just have a cubicle at SpaceX. Surrounded by my colleagues." On legacy: "What I'd like to do is help solve some important problems." "With respect to space, I hope to help make humanity a multiplanetary species." This 20 minute interview will teach you more about vision, ambition, and betting on yourself than every biography combined. Bookmark & give it 20 minutes today, no matter what.

🚨Urgent Call for Volunteers in Heartbreaking Search for Missing Navan Teen Benjamin Spot As the search for 14-year-old Benjamin Spot enters its 11th day, local rescue teams are issuing an urgent plea for additional volunteers to bolster efforts along the treacherous River Boyne. The young boy from Johnstown, Navan, vanished without a trace on November 19, leaving his family, friends, and an entire community gripped by fear and determination. Benjamin, described as approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall with blonde hair and blue eyes, was last seen cycling from Navan's Market Square toward the Kentstown Road or Ramparts area around 5: 55 p.m. His bicycle was discovered abandoned at the Ramparts the following morning, sparking immediate concerns that he may have encountered the fast-flowing river nearby. Gardaí, increasingly worried for his safety, now suspect the teen may have fallen into the Boyne, where swollen waters from recent heavy rains have made conditions perilous for searchers. The multi-agency operation, already a beacon of community solidarity, has drawn in specialized units including the Garda Water Unit, Meath River Rescue, Boyne Fishermen's Rescue and Recovery Service, Irish Underwater Search & Rescue (IUSR), Meath Civil Defence, ICV Ireland and the Silverbridge Kayak Club who earlier today discovered the body of 28 year old Jordan Newman who had been missing for almost three weeks. While Gardai have stood down operations for Jordan, vowing to support his family through formal identification, the focus now intensifies on Benjamin. These teams have combed riverbanks, conducted surface drags, and even deployed the Garda helicopter for aerial scans stretching from Navan to Slane. Yet, with high water levels and difficult terrain hindering progress, coordinators say every extra pair of hands counts. "All support is welcome," reads notice in the online video appeal that shows snippets of the muti-agency operation in full force. The appeal, spearheaded by the Irish Community Volunteers (ICV) Ireland, calls on supporters to contact Eamon Murphy on 089 410 8171 or icvireland@gmail.com to join searches focused on the Boyne from Drogheda to Navan. "We're covering counties Meath and Louth, but we need more eyes on the ground and along the water," the message emphasizes, underscoring the raw emotion driving the effort. Benjamin's mother, Renata Molnarova, has made a tearful public plea for her son's safe return. Speaking to reporters earlier she said,"Nobody is going to be in any trouble. We all love Benjamin and we just want him back," she said, her voice cracking with hope amid the heartbreak. Christopher Rennicks of Meath River Rescue, whose volunteers have been on the water daily since Jordan's vanishing, highlighted the emotional toll. "Conditions are quite difficult, but we're used to that. We carry on and hope we can bring some sort of closure to families affected," he told local media. Echoing this resolve, ICV Ireland's Eamon Murphy stressed that no prior experience is needed—just a willingness to help scan banks, distribute flyers, or provide logistical support, however he urged volunteers not to go out alone and to wear suitable clothes for the weather and difficult terrain involved. He continued, "we have reached out to a number of additional search and rescue teams around the country, in particular Wexford and in Limerick as they have the only under water ROV (Remotely operated Vehicle) in the country which would be a significant help in speeding up detection and recovery". Gardaí continue to appeal to the public,having already interviewed many of Benjamin's friends. Anyone with any information is urged to call Navan Garda Station at 046 903 6100

BREAKING: Bill Ackman just IPO'd his hedge fund. He targeted $25 billion two years ago. He raised $5 billion yesterday. And the retail investors he spent two years courting on X didn't show up. Here's what actually happened, and why it matters for every investor who thinks following a famous name is a strategy. Wednesday, April 29. Bill Ackman rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Two listed entities hit the market. Pershing Square USA (PSUS), the closed-end fund. Pershing Square Inc. (PS), the asset manager. PSUS priced at $50 a share. It opened at $42. It closed at $40.90. Down 18% on debut. One of the most famous hedge fund managers on the planet went public, and his fund lost nearly a fifth of its value in a single trading session. Now look at how the money actually came in. Of the $5 billion raised, $2.8 billion came from a private placement. Family offices took 30% of that. Pension funds took 25%. Insurance companies took 22%. Ultra-high-net-worth investors took 12%. Institutional investors accounted for over 85% of total orders. The remaining $2.2 billion came from a public offering of 44 million PSUS shares. Some of that was retail. Most of it was not. Ackman has 2 million followers on X. He spent two years marketing this fund as a way for regular people to access hedge fund returns at $50 a share. He even said it on CNBC the morning of the IPO: "Hedge funds are sort of known for managing money for rich people. And now we have the opportunity for someone with $50, could be a long-term shareholder. Usually, the retail gets cut massively back, the institutions are favored. We did the opposite." The retail audience he was talking to didn't believe him. The institutions did. Two years ago, the original target was $25 billion. Yesterday, the final number was $5 billion. That's an 80% downsize. This is one of the most watched investors in the world. He gets booked on every major financial network. He posts daily to millions of followers. He has been pitching this exact deal since 2024. And the deal still came in 80% smaller than planned. Here's the part nobody is connecting: The retail audience for hedge fund products is fundamentally different from the retail audience for personality content. Ackman built a following by being loud on X. Loud on takeovers. Loud on politics. Loud on universities. Loud on ETFs. Loud on macro calls. Followers love that. They follow. They reply. They retweet. But following someone is free. Wiring money into their closed-end fund at NAV with no performance fees and a fee structure most retail investors can't even read is an entirely different decision. The market just made that distinction for him. Now zoom out, because this is the structural lesson. The $2.8 billion private placement was wrapped up before retail even saw the deal. Family offices. Pension funds. Insurance companies. Sovereign wealth. These are the buyers who get the call before the IPO is announced. They get the term sheet. They negotiate. They commit. By the time the public sees the listing on a Wednesday morning, the institutions have already locked in their allocation. The retail investor sees the same news, gets the same prospectus, and reads the same ticker. Different game. Same name on the door. And then PSUS opened down 16% and closed down 18%. Every retail buyer who put in $50 at the IPO price was sitting on a $9 paper loss before lunch. The institutions had locked in better terms in the private placement. Same fund. Same manager. Two completely different starting positions. This is how the structure of capital markets actually works. Every. Single. Time. The brochure says democratization. The cap table says the institutions got there first. This is the same lesson the Blue Owl and BlackRock private credit stories taught us last year. When a famous money manager opens a vehicle to retail, the fine print and the fee structure and the timing of the allocation all favor the people who already have access. You can have a manager with no performance fee, with bonus shares attached, with two million social followers, and a stage on CNBC. The math of who gets in first and at what price is still the math. So what does this mean for you? It means a famous name on the cover is not a strategy. It means following an investor on X is not the same as being invested with them. It means the retail audience for entertaining finance content is enormous, and the retail audience for actually deploying capital into a complex product is not. The wealthy don't pay famous investors for personality. They build systems that don't depend on a single human being having a good year, or a good fund debut, or a good narrative on social media. Ackman's reputation got him on the front page. It didn't get the stock above its IPO price. The math always catches up. The personality doesn't change the math. Boring? Yes. Effective when a $25 billion vision becomes a $5 billion raise that opens down 18%? Also yes. This is exactly why we built Surmount. Automated, rules-based investment strategies. Built for the retail investor who doesn't want to bet a portfolio on whether a famous fund manager has a good debut:

This is the most important post I’ve made to date, by far . It’s an interview with journalist Whitney Webb explaining - Digital ID, where the idea came from, who are the stakeholders and beneficiaries of it, the immense power and control you will cede to Govt and corporations. I have spliced in NZ video to illustrates the points that Webb makes throughout the video. In it she explains how Digital ID is necessary for digital currency to be used, which in turn will create a river of wealth and control for corporations and global bodies. It explains how the public (including here in NZ) is being gaslit about the bill for restricting social media - this requires us all to be biometrically scanned and it will be linked to the new Whakatuturu or verify me digital ID. It features outtakes from select committee submissions from Mattr NZ a subsidiary of Spark who have designed the digital ID architecture, and has previously developed the Covid App plus worked with spy agencies in the US at the dept of Homeland & security. It also features footage of the Co -Chair of the Digital Trust Framework Anna Marie Cavanagh on a UN sustainable Goals discussion, along with Ardern stating the digital ID is built for interaction with Carbon Markets and with the UN SDG’s in mind. Larry Fink (Blackrock) and Jamie Dimon (JP MorganChase) discuss the future of finance and tokenising assets, including your house and even natural assets. Dimon has publicly said that banks should be able to seize public property in the name of climate change. The UN a will force us all to use carbon markets the take up so far has been woeful. Ever wonder why the UN has pushed for legal personhood for natural sites such as Mt Taranaki? It’s because they need to be loaded on the digital ledger. Ngati Wai activist Aperahama Edwards (best known for taking Davis Seymour’s mic away at Waitangi) has so far gathered $70m USD with the backing of King Charles & Richard Branson to make a blue carbon market from NZ’s EEZ and are developing a electronic ‘rāhui’ in the waters to ‘protect the whales’ and the whales will be given a digital ID. The project steered by an Ex IMF director will then ‘take control of the migratory sea channels’ and sell bonds in the ocean. News items covering this bizarre scheme is included. When they say Data is the new oil they were wrong. Data is much more valuable, when you have total tracking of everyone in society. If this all sounds far fetched. Watch the video and get back to me. For nearly two decades I worked internationally in funds management, including working on projects for the biggest Tech companies in the world. I was there when banking institutions pushed CDO’s sheer lunacy that nearly wrecked the financial system in 2008. saw ESG and DEI together with new technology like digital Currency take over the industry and the most preposterous ideas floated, believe me I am very aware of how big Investment banks operate. The UN who entrenched such great ideas such as Transgenderism, Climate change alarmism, mass immigration, internet censorship and globalised centralised control are at the bass line of digital ID and asset tokenisation. Those some progressive woke lunatics who locked us up for months in our houses have designed a new digital prison. Expect it to be insane. The Digital ID architecture is built and ready to go, they just need a mass onboarding process where they can pair your biometrics to your digital ID & digital wallet - enter Luxon’s social media ban. This is nearly an hour long I know, and it’s taken me hours to make in the hope it will inform as many people as possible . Please do yourself and your family a favour, watch and share it. — Rhys Williams.

Hillary Clinton sold our uranium to Russia. Russia gave some of that uranium to Iran. President Trump then had to wipe out the Iranian regime and democrats barked at him for cleaning up the mess that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was responsible for — arming enemies of the United States of America. That's Treason. The money from that Uranium One sale went through the Clinton Foundation. CNN's Jake Tapper was a CIA media asset for Barack Obama's DNI James Clapper to leak FAKE Russia collision propaganda tying Donald Trump to Russia for helped him hack the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. Those were all lies to try and impeach Trump and then sway voters away from Donald Trump in the following election. Although Hillary Clinton got wealthy by selling off America piece by piece, President Trump is in a very strategic position to teach her that Treason Doesn't Pay Well In The End. Obama spying on President Trump - Jeffrey Epstein - PizzaGate - Pedophile Rings - Child Trafficking Rings - Clinton Foundation - Crossfire Hurricane - Russia Collusion HOAX - Uranium One - it's ALL intertwined as an interconnected web within the Clinton Foundation. The REAL Russia Collusion was involving the Clinton - Pedophile John Podesta - Obama administration and Frank Giustra, whom also founded Lionsgate, a MASSIVE global media company and a YUGE Pedo-Wood production conglomerate! A Uranium One Primer – Clinton Foundation - Frank Giustra & Kazakhstan’s Uranium Assets: Bill Clinton met Canadian investor Frank Giustra in June 2005, during a fund-raiser at Mr. Giustra’s Vancouver home. Frank Giustra owned UrAsia, a small, newly formed, Uranium company that was seeking to purchase lucrative uranium reserves in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has about 1/5 of the world’s uranium reserves. Clinton & Giustra had a private meeting with Kazakhstan President Nazarbayev on September 6, 2005. Frank Giustra donated a total of $145 million to the Clinton Foundation. The donations appeared to be directly tied to the series of transactions involving UrAsia, Kazatomprom, Uranium One & ultimately, Rosatom (Russia’s Nuclear Agency) $31.3 million came directly after the closing of the UrAsia/Kazatomprom transaction in early 2006. Giustra pledged another $100 million in June 2007, after the closing of Uranium One’s acquisition of Giustra’s company, UrAsia. Another $2.3 million was paid to the Clinton Foundation by Ian Telfer, the Chairman of Uranium One. Between $1.3 million & $5.6 million in contributions came from multiple people with ties to Uranium One / UrAsia. The agreement transformed UrAsia from a small unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers overnight. The deal with Kazakhstan made Giustra’s company, Uranium One, a major player. It proceeded to buy large amounts of holdings in the United States. Uranium One thus became an attractive target for Russia as Russia then made a hugely attractive offer to purchase the company. Such a deal requires approval by the U.S. government — specifically — by the Secretary of State, who then was Hillary Clinton. During the period when the deal with Russia was under consideration, the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars from key Uranium One shareholders. 4 months later, Giustra made the $31.3 million donation to the Clinton Foundation. In September 2006, Giustra co-hosted Bill Clinton’s 60th birthday, an event that raised $21 million for the Clinton Foundation. During this period, Bill Clinton also received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank. These criminals are responsible

Hillary Clinton sold our uranium to Russia. Russia gave some of that uranium to Iran. President Trump then had to wipe out the Iranian regime and democrats barked at him for cleaning up the mess that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama was responsible for — arming enemies of the United States of America. That's Treason. The money from that Uranium One sale went through the Clinton Foundation. CNN's Jake Tapper was a CIA media asset for Barack Obama's DNI James Clapper to leak FAKE Russia collision propaganda tying Donald Trump to Russia for helped him hack the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. Those were all lies to try and impeach Trump and then sway voters away from Donald Trump in the following election. Although Hillary Clinton got wealthy by selling off America piece by piece, President Trump is in a very strategic position to teach her that Treason Doesn't Pay Well In The End. Obama spying on President Trump - Jeffrey Epstein - PizzaGate - Pedophile Rings - Child Trafficking Rings - Clinton Foundation - Crossfire Hurricane - Russia Collusion HOAX - Uranium One - it's ALL intertwined as an interconnected web within the Clinton Foundation. The REAL Russia Collusion was involving the Clinton - Pedophile John Podesta - Obama administration and Frank Giustra, whom also founded Lionsgate, a MASSIVE global media company and a YUGE Pedo-Wood production conglomerate! A Uranium One Primer – Clinton Foundation - Frank Giustra & Kazakhstan’s Uranium Assets: Bill Clinton met Canadian investor Frank Giustra in June 2005, during a fund-raiser at Mr. Giustra’s Vancouver home.

Sam Altman just revealed he put his ENTIRE liquid net worth into one company to reverse aging. The company is called Retro Biosciences. He put $180 million of his own money as the seed round. Then he came back for a $1 billion Series A. The company is now valued at $5 billion. Here's what they're building: Retro is working on something called partial cellular reprogramming. The basic idea is that your cells can be rewound to a younger state without turning them all the way back into stem cells. You stay you, but your biology gets younger. Most diseases are diseases of age. 20yo rarely get sick the way 80yo do. So instead of fighting cancer, Alzheimer's, and heart disease one by one, what if you just made the cells younger so those diseases never develop in the first place? That's the bet. One solution that cuts through EVERYTHING. And here's where AI enters the picture: OpenAI built a specialized model called GPT-4b micro specifically for Retro's research. They used it to redesign the proteins responsible for turning adult cells back into stem cells, a technique that won the Nobel Prize when it was first discovered. The original method was painfully slow. Worked on fewer than 1 in 1,000 cells. OpenAI's AI-designed proteins made the process 50 TIMES more efficient. Cells that used to take 3 weeks to reprogram were doing it in 7 days. And the AI came up with protein modifications so radical that human scientists would never have tried them, some differing by over 100 amino acids from the originals. Altman said AI compressed years of biological research into a fraction of the time. Retro's CEO said the model delivered results faster and better than any human-led effort they'd attempted. They've already started human trials for a drug targeting Alzheimer's. But here's the part that should make everyone stop and think... Altman also revealed that GPT-5 was specifically upgraded to handle healthcare queries. People are already uploading their medical records, asking about symptoms, and getting real answers. He told a story about taking a picture of a skin issue and ChatGPT correctly diagnosing it and offering to prescribe medication on the spot. Doctors at hospitals across the country are secretly using it at home because their workplaces don't have HIPAA-compliant versions yet. Every clinic he visits tells him the same thing: Every doctor here uses ChatGPT, they just can't admit it publicly. His prediction is that within 10 years, every person on Earth will have access to BETTER healthcare than the best healthcare anyone can get today. Think about this for a second... The CEO of the world's most powerful AI company put every dollar he had into an anti-aging startup. Then he built a custom AI model exclusively for that startup's research. That model produced results 50x better than anything humans achieved. And simultaneously his main product is being quietly adopted by the entire medical profession without official approval. OpenAI is becoming the backbone of a healthcare revolution that most people haven't even noticed is underway. The billionaire longevity race used to be an irrelevant sidequest. Bezos put some into Altos Labs. Zuckerberg and Thiel backed similar ventures. Nothing serious. But Altman's approach is different because he has something none of them had: An AI capable of doing the actual science faster than human researchers ever could. If Retro's cellular reprogramming works at scale, the first generation of people who get to live significantly healthier and longer lives might already be alive today. And Altman is barely talking about it, I wonder why.
