Anthropic Scores Legal Win Against Trump Administration
A US judge ordered the Trump administration to lift its ban on Anthropic’s AI technology for federal agencies, finding the restriction wasn’t adequately justified and was partly intended to make a public example of the company. Bloomberg’s Rachel Metz explains why the ruling doesn’t immediately end Anthropic’s legal fight. She also breaks down a separate…

AI Could Push Inflation Either Way, Says BOE’s Bailey
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey says AI could prove either inflationary or disinflationary depending on whether its impact on demand arrives before productivity gains on the supply side. Speaking at Jackson Hole, Bailey also discusses the UK inflation outlook, why he agrees with Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh on the limitations of forward guidance,…

This made my day! I love Iridium – use it as emergency comms for my mountaineering adventures. These two companies are such a perfect fit and I look forward to RKLB growing the Iridium TAM. I have been investing since the stock was at $6/share and just bought some more on the news. I think we will revisit $150/share sooner than expected and based on technical analysis may push towards the $200/share.

SpaceX is facing fierce criticism for demanding a massive $2 trillion valuation—trading at a staggering 109 times its annual sales—despite reporting a deep net loss of $4.9 billion due to astronomical capital expenditures.

SpaceX is making more than $2 billion a month on the 5 billion data center net capex. They pay back that expense in 2.5 months. They’re selling 28 billion a year from that alone. 5 billion sounds like a lot of money, but it’s nearly insignifcant compared to that cash flow.

It’s fascinating how numb the business world is to how this deal would be financed. Back decades ago, I toured the Iridium factory and saw these tiny satellites up close. They later went bankrupt and became a business school case study into how to not finance with debt

LMAO, a single launch facility will never “Challenge” spaceX. You’d better ramp it up 10x.

Mass of neutron is ~1800 times that electron. Can the Neutron Rocket carry 1800 times payload that Electron? I’m kidding – Neutron should be able to carry a lot more 🙂
