SCOOP: Top White House officials believe NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan obtained audio recordings of Situation Room meetings for their new book.
Such a taped leak would be a shocking breach of one of the most secure settings on Earth. axios.com/2026/06/14/trump-s…

Not a surprise that DOJ approved paramount-wbd merger. Was never in doubt.
Antitrust issue has always been state AGs and Europe.

Remarkable that the largest IPO of all time comes from a CEO who prefers his companies to be privately held.

Reminder than when @aileenlee first wrote about unicorns, she wasn't just talking about $1b private companies. She was talking about VC-backed companies now trading at $1b or more. Which still was rare.
Today a $2 trillion VC-backed company went public

If you view a typical IPO pop as 20%, then the "bar" for SpaceX is $162 -- which is the current indicated open (although it's been falling)

Feels like we should expect a massive first-day (or at least first hour) pop for SpaceX, given the retail oversubscription.

Gonna read a lot about VC "returns" from the SpaceX IPO. Reminder that no VC is selling shares into the IPO, and can't sell for a while.
So these are still paper gains, not actual cash for distribution-starved LPs in their funds.

A sincere thank you to SpaceX and its bankers for pricing early and not making us reporters keep hitting "refresh" until 7pm.
