BREAKING: Google just proved AI data centers in space actually work

Project Suncatcher's first satellite, built with @planet and launched on a SpaceX rocket with 4 TPUs on board, verified the physics: Google sent a prompt from Earth, a TPU in orbit ran Gemma inference, and the full answer was beamed back down.

SpaceX is launching its StarMind satellites with NVIDIA GPUs on Starship in late 2027.

The left thinks you’ve gotten involved in Politics out of a craving for power

When in reality it seems like what you actually want is to ensure we maintain the balance of power into the future

Trying to entrench one side is very different than trying to maintain balance between two sides

This is deeply misunderstood

Very positive and constructive conversation with @elonmusk today.

Italy is looking with great interest at the opportunities offered by assisted driving technologies, with a focus on innovation and road safety, and supports a swift EU approval of Tesla Assisted Driving.

Thanks for the exchange, Elon!

In the summer of 1994, a 23-year-old Elon Musk spent his days in Los Gatos at Pinnacle Research Institute, dreaming up how ultracapacitors could power electric cars and even Star Wars–style laser guns. Then, around 5 p.m. every evening, he drove to Palo Alto for his second job at Rocket Science Games, a startup full of future legends, from Tony Fadell, who would later build the iPod, to the people behind Apple's QuickTime and engineers from Industrial Light & Magic.

They hired him to write the most boring code imaginable, drivers so joysticks and mice would work with games, but Elon quietly gave himself a much harder problem 😂: figuring out how a computer could run a game and stream video from a CD at the same time, something the machines of that era simply couldn't do.

Peter Barrett, one of the company's founders, remembered him as "completely unflappable," and said that after a while nobody was giving him directions at all, because he was just building what he wanted to build. Bruce Leak, who hired him, said: "He had boundless energy." So yeah, nobody handed Elon the big problem, he just went looking for it, at night, after a full day at another job. This is who Elon Musk is 💙

James Talarico now calls himself a "border security Democrat."

His Texas House record says otherwise.

While millions poured across the border under Biden, Talarico voted NO on:

❌ $1.8 billion for border security
❌ The Texas Border Protection Unit
❌ Arrest powers for Border Patrol
❌ Funding for the border wall (twice)
❌ Tougher human smuggling penalties
❌ Making illegal entry a state crime (twice)
❌ Requiring sheriffs to work with ICE

Nine votes. Nine NOs.

Don’t send Talarico to Washington to vote with the Democrats who let millions pour across the border.

Early voting ends Oct. 30.

Go vote, Texas.

@SawyerMerritt This is primarily callable debt for GPU purchases that will arrive in Q1 and Q2. Not a major factor this quarter.

Pretty much.

As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers.

SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue.

That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

New Starlink in flight Wi-Fi review:

"I was flying over the Sierra Nevada mountain range recently when I had a tech experience that left me enthralled. It also shows why I believe @elonmusk is the greatest technologist working today. Simply stated, I was blown away.

Instead of playing a downloaded movie, I logged in to Netflix and couldn’t believe the quality of the streaming. So, I did what any broadband speed freak would do. I grabbed my Ookla app and tested the download speeds.

It came back at a blazing 408 megabits a second. That’s roughly 30% faster than the median speeds for U.S. households, the vast majority of which have hardwired connections.

I bring up this example because I believe it speaks volumes about how Musk just keeps on transforming the world around us."

In fall 2027, Southwest Airlines expects to complete a fleetwide rollout of Starlink, becoming the first major airline to do so.(Historical earnings: For 2026Q1 (period ended 2026-03-31), Netflix reported basic EPS of 1.25, diluted EPS of 1.23, net income of USD 5.283 billion, and revenue of USD 12.250 billion. For 2025FY (period ended 2025-12-31), basic EPS was 2.58, diluted EPS 2.53, net income USD 10.981 billion, and revenue USD 45.183 billion. Consensus expectations: For 2026Q4, consensus expects EPS of 0.7282 and revenue of USD 13.531 billion.)

Elon Musk explains how to build AI satellites on the moon from lunar silicon and aluminum, and says 500 to 1,000 terawatts a year cannot be launched from Earth

“Well, the lunar soil is 20% silicon or something like that. So you can mine the silicon on the moon, refine it, and create the solar cells and the radiators on the moon. So get the radiators out of aluminum. So there’s plenty of silicon and aluminum on the moon to make the cells and the radiators. The chips you could send from Earth because they’re pretty light. But maybe at some point you make them on the moon, too."

"Like I said, it does seem like a sort of a video game situation where it’s difficult but not impossible to get to the next level. I don’t see any way that you could do 500 to 1,000 terawatts per year launched from Earth.”

SpaceX’s $SPCX Starlink just surpassed AT&T $T Fiber in subscribers after tripling its customer base in just seven quarters. What’s even more impressive is that Starlink is adding roughly 1.6 million subscribers per quarter versus about 400,000 for AT&T Fiber — showing how much faster satellite networks can scale compared to laying fiber street by street.

Starlink’s connectivity CAGR sits at over 90% while AT&T Fiber manages around 17%. In a world racing toward AI / SI and orbital infrastructure, that gap isn’t just a statistic. It’s a structural advantage.

James Talarico is a radical extremist.

I crunched the numbers on his voting record.

I show it.

Whenever there was a disagreement between Republicans and Democrats in the Texas House during Talarico's time as a Texas Representative from 2019 to 2025, Talarico sided with Democrats 96.8% of the time.

He sided with Republicans less often than 194 of 210 House members.

Only 15 of 82 Democrats were more extreme.

This puts his voting record in the top 7% most extreme left-wing among Texas House Representatives.

In 2026, being an extreme Democrat is really cuckoo.

For comparison, in 2021, the unhinged Jasmine Crockett was in the Texas House with Talarico.

During that year, Crockett voted with Republicans 2.34% of the time. Talarico voted with them 2.38% of the time.

Talarico's numbers were virtually the same as Jasmine Crockett's.

Talarico has claimed that "God is non-binary" and that his goal is to "dismantle" "capitalism, white supremacy, and climate change".

Now we can say with confidence that his voting record tells the same story as his words did -- until he recently suddenly changed his tune.

Talarico's "views" started miraculously "changing" in the past few months.

They became, as he says, "moderate", when he started campaigning against Ken Paxton for the U.S. Senate seat.

What a coincidence.

Talarico is lying.

Talarico is a loony hiding his real views.

He knows that voters would never elect him if he told them truth.

So he doesn't.

OVERTRADING

October 10, 2025

i had what would become the single biggest one-day loss of my career

i lost eight figures in minutes due to systemic failures on the biggest CEXs, and to this day, no one has taken accountability for what happened

my losses made headlines and became one of the biggest stories to come out of that day

but what many people don't know is what happened in the weeks and months that followed

i lost several million more

and i did it by making one of the biggest mistakes traders like me tend to make:

OVERTRADING

in hindsight, i would have been far better off shutting everything down for the next few months or even quarters

i probably would have become a much better trader if i had simply stayed away from the computer for at least six months

but a part of me was desperate for action

a part of me wanted to make it all back

a part of me wanted to prove that i still had what it takes and that i would get back on my feet

i wanted to 'work'

and sitting back, doing nothing, and staying away from the computer for a prolonged period didn't feel like work

except that, for a trader, being AFK can sometimes be the most important work you do

one of the biggest mistakes i made — and that many traders make — is assuming that skill, experience, and process are enough to consistently outperform the market

they aren't

believe it or not, successful trading is often a combination of skill, favorable market conditions, timing, and luck

as a Christian, i attribute the 'luck' component to GOD's blessings and favor rather than sheer luck

but the underlying principle remains the same:

our biggest wins often come from combining a solid process with being in the right place at the right time

sometimes, that means catching a single exceptional trade

other times, it means being positioned during a streak of opportunities that emerge in quick succession because market conditions are overwhelmingly in your favor

for example, you could have been a memecoin god simply by being active in the market during the explosive memecoin era of 2021, which produced $DOGE, $SHIB, $FLOKI, and several other billion-dollar runners

many traders made life-changing money during that period

but the same sophisticated processes that helped some of us make 7, 8, or even 9 figures during the bull market would have failed miserably in the bear market that followed in 2022

the same principle applies to the 2024–early 2025 era, which produced several multibillion-dollar runners like $WIF, $POPCAT, and $FARTCOIN

and then the prolonged dearth of opportunities after $TRUMP leading to 10/10 and the almost one-year period following

the point is simple:

the edge that makes you money in one market environment won't necessarily make you money in another

and one of the most important skills you can develop as a trader is recognizing when your edge is no longer there

sometimes, the best trade is no trade at all

sometimes, the smartest thing you can do is take a bow, step away, and wait for the next opportunity

even if only temporarily

it's almost impossible to consistently beat the market over a sufficiently long timeframe

but as crypto traders, we have one significant advantage:

we don't need to outperform the market every single day, week, or month to generate exceptional returns

historically, crypto's bull phases have tended to occupy a disproportionate share of the cycle, with bear phases accounting for a smaller portion

using one historical framework, the bull phase averages approximately 1,060 days, or 74% of the cycle, while the bear phase averages around 380 days, or 26%

but if your definition of a bull run is narrower — i.e. a period of explosive momentum when $BTC trades above its 200-day moving average and much of the cycle's biggest price action occurs — then the window becomes significantly shorter

under that framework, we're talking about approximately 237 days, or around 16% of the cycle

these figures are estimates based on particular definitions of market phases, not universal constants

but the broader lesson remains:

you don't need to trade every market. you need to recognize the windows when your edge is strongest and capitalize on them

for the rest of the time, there's nothing wrong with stepping away entirely or trading only with a tiny fraction of your portfolio that you can comfortably afford to lose

preserving your capital, your mental clarity, and your ability to recognize the next major opportunity is far more important than forcing trades in unfavorable conditions

because the goal isn't to be active all the time

the goal is to be positioned when it matters most

and to have the discipline to do nothing when it doesn't

to conclude, i only wish i had followed this advice myself

hopefully, i'll do a better job of applying it going forward, GOD WILLING
