"We are now fighting a global battle against resurgent #fascism. The fight is across nations and at every level of society. The response must be international, as well. Any path to a free international order, unthreatened by fascism, must run in part through breaking #Musk’s power." #ElonMusk https://newrepublic.com/article/211936/elon-musk-race-war-belfast

bing news | Peter Thiel's secret society exposed as Palantir deepens South Florida roots AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A leaked list of more than 100 members of Peter Thiel’s invitation‑only “Dialog” network—an elite, off‑the‑record society founded in 2006—has exposed a roster that includes tech luminaries such as Elon Musk, biotech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, and numerous Palantir, Google DeepMind and hedge‑fund executives, as well as political figures like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Sen. Cory Booker, former HUD Secretary Julián Castro and former Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. The leak, uncovered by Swiss hacktivist Maia Arson Crimew and verified by WIRED, reveals attendance histories, biographies and registration data, offering a rare glimpse into a group often compared to the Bilderberg meetings. The disclosure comes as Thiel’s influence in South Florida surges: his family office recently leased premium space in Miami’s 830 Brickell tower, Palantir has moved its headquarters to the city, and Thiel maintains a Miami‑Beach residence, prompting privacy advocates to warn about the growing convergence of Silicon Valley surveillance technology and government power.

A real product, although apparently it isn't "musky." Participation Trophy Brewing describes this beer as "a bold Smoked Maple Porter dedicated to the “World’s First Unfuckable Trillionaire”. This 6.8% ABV release perfectly balances rich, dark, complex flavors with a completely unlovable vibe—proving that all the money in the universe still can’t buy you genuine game." #ElonMusk #Musk #Beer #NYC

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social thanks for explaining a basic financial fact that eludes 99.9999% of people familiar with the name #ElonMusk, who yet don't understand how #billionaires are made.There's a great #realitytv #investigativejournalism piece from #Channel4 in the UK that explains the logic of equity/borrowing really well. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/how-i-made-1-million-in-90-days

Novara Media | Man Who Blew Whistle on Elon Musk’s DOGE Had His Car’s Brakes Cut by Joshua Carroll AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. An IT employee at the National Labor Relations Board, Daniel Berulis, filed a whistleblower complaint in April 2025 alleging that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had compromised sensitive NLRB data and recorded suspicious login attempts from a Russian IP address; weeks later, after receiving a threatening note with drone‑taken photos of his dog, Berulis’ car was sabotaged—its brakes were cut and driver‑side airbag sensors were removed and spliced—causing him to crash into a stop sign, and Musk publicly dismissed the complaint as a false claim, prompting hostile online comments; Berulis is now suing Musk for defamation, saying Musk’s statements and the ensuing threats increased his risk of physical harm.

EL PAÍS in English | Frances Haugen: ‘We are worse off today than when I leaked the Facebook documents’ by Manu González Pascual AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Frances Haugen, the former Facebook engineer who leaked 21,000 internal documents that revealed the platform’s harm to teens, says Meta may be “worse off today” than when the leak sparked a wave of lawsuits, class actions and state‑level suits after the 2021 Wall Street Journal exposé. While Meta initially bolstered safety teams, subsequent industry shifts—spurred by Elon Musk’s dismantling of moderation at X—have led to reduced accountability, and recent jury verdicts in New Mexico and Los Angeles found the company liable for child exploitation and addiction. Haugen now runs the NGO Beyond the Screen from Puerto Rico, urging stronger enforcement of the EU’s Digital Services Act and broader regulation of AI “digital friends,” which she warns can exacerbate self‑harm among minors. She predicts future legal battles over AI-driven harm, stresses the need for consensus across political lines to protect youth, and is hopeful that emerging platforms offering safer, anonymous spaces could give the next generation real choice over where to connect.

CounterPunch.org | AI is a Public Resource: You Should Own Half of It by Bernie Sanders AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Bernie Sanders argues that artificial intelligence—foreseen as the most transformative technology in history—will reshape every aspect of society, from the economy and democracy to health, the environment, and education, and that its impact is inevitable; the real question, he says, is who will own and control that future. He stresses that AI is built on the collective knowledge, creativity, and data of generations of people—books, songs, art, journalism, code, research, conversations, images, and ideas—yet the tech elite have appropriated this work without permission or compensation. To prevent a handful of billionaires from monopolizing the benefits, Sanders proposes an “American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act,” which would impose a one‑time 50 percent tax in the form of stock ownership in the largest U.S. AI companies, creating a public sovereign wealth fund so that the wealth generated by AI is shared by all rather than concentrated in a few corporate moguls.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. https://www.theverge.com/tech/949259/the-worlds-first-trillionaire-is-a-killer

RE: https://digitalcourage.social/@BlumeEvolution/116733500326485962 Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️? Heute wird mit SpaceXAI von Elon Musk also ein neues Milliarden-Unternehmen an der Börse platziert, weitere wie OpenAI sollen bald folgen. Trotzdem hört Musk nicht auf, britische Rechtsdualisten & Rassisten digital anzufeuern. Wer das Geschäftsmodell des Raumfahrt-Unternehmens ohne xAI verstehen möchte, wird bei „Was kostet die Welt?“ gut informiert. Ich gehöre zu den Skeptikern in der Frage, ob sich die KI-Investitionen in Milliardenhöhe für die Erstkonzerne auszahlen - oder ob eine Börsenblase platzen bzw. einschrumpeln wird. Wir dialogisieren dabei gerade rund um die untenstehende Umfrage & mich interessieren unterschiedliche Perspektiven dazu. 🤔🙏💸 #SpaceXAI #ElonMusk #Musk #OpenAI #Börse #Börsenblase #Rechtsdualismus #Umfrage

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️? Heute wieder eine gute Solarpunk - Nachricht, Fundstück von @hal2022@bonn.social ! Während Aktionäre bibbern, ob die KI-Blase durch den gierigen SpaceX - Gamble des Milliarden verbrennenden X - ers Elon Musk ab morgen platzt, boomen Photovoltaik und Batteriespeicher quer durch Afrika. Habe in „Blume & Ince 55“ mit @Teh_Doc_Inan@sueden.social vorgeschlagen, zwischen dem Solarpunk - Ringen mit den fossilen & per Medien, Politik und Bürokratie lobbyierenden Dinosauriern einerseits und dem tatsächlich marktwirtschaftlichen Solarboom in Ländern mit schwächeren Fossilstrulturen andererseits zu unterscheiden. Sozusagen „Technogieoffenheit“ (Deutschland) versus Technologieoffenheit (Kenia). Denn Erneuerbare sind längst sowohl Friedens- wie auch Wohlstandsenergien. #SolarPunk #SolarBoom #Deutschland #Kenia #Äthiopien #Afrika #KIBlase #SpaceX #X #ElonMusk #Photvoltaik #Batteriespeicher #Technogieoffenheit #Technologieoffenheit #Wohlstandsenergien https://www.pv-magazine.de/2026/06/09/afrika-eine-stille-photovoltaik-revolution-mit-globaler-bedeutung/

US Top News and Analysis | Ark Invest owns SpaceX in its venture ETF. It says Starlink alone supports $2 trillion value at IPO AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Ark Invest’s futurist Brett Winton argues that SpaceX’s upcoming IPO could be valued at nearly $2 trillion, largely on the strength of its Starlink satellite‑internet business, which generates about $13 billion in annual revenue and delivers roughly 500 terabits per second of bandwidth. The company plans to price shares at $135, raising about $75 billion by selling 555.6 million shares (with an option for an additional $11.2 billion), while Elon Musk retains over 82 percent voting control. Winton ties SpaceX’s growth not only to reusable rockets but also to the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, estimating AI‑related enterprises could create $15‑$20 trillion of value by 2030. Ark’s Venture Fund, whose largest holding is private SpaceX shares (about 11.4 % of assets), has risen roughly 15 % this year and over 70 % in the past twelve months, betting on Starlink’s potential to soar further as the Starship launch system enables massive, cheaper satellite deployments and could eventually drive hundreds of billions in revenue.

US Top News and Analysis | Elon Musk's net worth poised to sail past $1 trillion in SpaceX IPO AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk is on the brink of becoming the world’s first trillion‑dollar individual as SpaceX’s updated IPO prospectus shows his personal stake in the reusable‑rocket company is worth about $866.5 billion, which added to his roughly $355 billion holding in Tesla (plus options that could add over $100 billion) pushes his net worth past the trillion‑dollar mark. The prospectus sets the IPO price at $135 per share, valuing SpaceX at roughly $1.77 trillion, and gives Musk more than 82 % voting control after the offering, though his shares will be locked for 366 days. While SpaceX’s 2025 revenue of $18.7 billion is modest compared with Tesla’s $95 billion and Meta’s $200 billion, the company’s compensation plans link Musk’s rewards to a $7.5 trillion market cap and the colonisation of Mars, fueling speculation that he may eventually merge SpaceX with Tesla to consolidate AI resources and streamline capital raises.

NBC News Top Stories | SpaceX aims to make its stock market debut at $1.77 trillion value by Steve Kopack AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. SpaceX filed to go public next week, proposing to sell more than 555 million shares at a fixed $135 each, which would raise roughly $75 billion and value the company at about $1.77 trillion—enough to make CEO Elon Musk the world’s first trillion‑dollar individual and give him roughly 82.4 % of the voting power. The proceeds are slated for further investments across SpaceX’s expanding portfolio, including its recent acquisition of Musk’s AI venture xAI and the social network X. At that valuation, SpaceX would become the seventh‑largest publicly traded company worldwide and Musk’s second trillion‑dollar firm after Tesla. The IPO’s pricing is unusual in that it offers a single fixed price rather than a range, relying on Musk’s global profile to attract investors across platforms such as Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, SoFi and E*Trade.
