I guess I'm just dim but I really don't understand who is buying SpaceX at $160 per share. This is a company that is losing billions of dollars a quarter and the profits are supposed to come when we colonize Mars and launch data centers in space?

5. In Illinois, for example, a Microsoft data center “received more than $38 million in data center sales tax exemptions but created just 20 permanent jobs.”

5. The White House and representatives for Kushner defend his conduct, claiming Kushner has “always operated in the best interests of the United States.”
This is unfalsifiable since both Kushner's private equity business and his diplomatic work occur behind closed doors.
