The Canadians who created $1 trillion in debt want you to be mad at someone who created $1 trillion in wealth

A story in two parts:
Today, legacy structures at historic SLC-6 were safely cleared to make way for a new era of spaceflight. With an outgrant issued by the U.S. Space Force in 2025, SpaceX is now modernizing the pad to support next generation spacelift operations.

Guy looking at Columbus's ship being built: Why would I put my money in this? Italy isn't over there?
This company lost $5 billion last year. What makes it worth $2.5T right now?

It's a shame the Canadian media, once semi-reliable, now publishes vacuous and blatantly fictitious headlines because they believe their prime audience is naive enough to fall for it
How much of Musk’s wealth comes from government help? Virtually all of it ctvnews.ca/world/article/how…

Together with UC Berkeley we are announcing the laser phase plate - a breakthrough in atomic resolution imaging. This is the brightest continuous wave laser in the world, 100 million times the intensity of the surface of the sun. Phase contrast plays an important role in microscopy, but it was thought close to impossible for electron microscopy, where it would require interfering with an electron beam. Holger Mueller and Robert Glaeser proposed exactly this using a standing wave laser. It has taken over 15 years to make this a reality. Biohub partnered with UC Berkeley and Mueller to support this work and to engineer and build the technology. Contrast has been the critical barrier to achieving atomic resolution imaging of the cell. In cryo-electron tomography, a cellular imaging technology that uses electron microscopy, the low contrast makes it impossible to resolve anything but the largest proteins within their cellular context. The laser phase plate removes that barrier. With advances in AI this breakthrough in contrast will start to open up a new frontier in structural biology, that will allow us to see the molecular machines of the cell, and how they assemble into far more complex and dynamic systems, and understand how they work.

Me personally? I think it’s really fucking cool that Elon is now a trillionaire. A true rags to riches story in every sense of the idiom. Anything is possible bros

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe. We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.
Opinion: SpaceX IPO makes Elon Musk the first trillionaire. Here’s how to properly hate him theglobeandmail.com/business…

I have yet to see a single compelling argument for why the $SPCX IPO is bad for the business or for the industry

Massive shoutout to Anne from @AmericanAir support. I was going to miss my connecting flight in Dallas tomorrow, so she rebooked me to a separate flight in the morning without changing the final arrival time, and she resolved the issue in less than 10 minutes

starship V3 has the exact same 0-100 km/h acceleration time (7.2 seconds) as the rear-wheel drive tesla model y... interesting

Poised to be one of the IPOs of all time, thanks @Wealthsimple $SPCX

You can actually see the RVac engine die at T 3:09 - insane that it had virtually zero effect on Ship's trajectory
