Simon literally said ‘this is pointless’… then THIS happened 😱 Australian mum Kristy Sellars just turned a suitcase, projections & a pole into the most emotional, cinematic performance AGT has EVER seen.

Facts by #XCorpHubFacts Maye Musk, born Maye Haldeman on April 19, 1948, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, is a world-renowned registered dietitian-nutritionist and the author of the bestselling memoir "A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success." Holding Canadian, South African, and American citizenship, she earned two master's degrees in dietetics and nutritional science. Her professional practice has spanned more than 45 years, encompassing private consultations, public health teaching, and worldwide speaking engagements across eight cities on three continents, all while adapting to repeated life resets. At 31, she became a single mother after leaving an abusive marriage, raising Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca Musk through poverty, financial strain, and instability. Drawing on her nutritional expertise, she overcame her own weight challenges—once modeling as plus-size—and rejected fad diets in favor of sustainable basics like balanced meals and consistent movement. Her modeling career, starting at age 15, shattered barriers: she became CoverGirl's oldest spokesmodel at 69 and the oldest-ever model in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue at 74, proving that expertise and resilience defy ageism. Published in 2019, her memoir offers deeply practical wisdom forged from real adversity—relocations, hardships, and reinventions. It stresses proactive planning, optimism in uncertainty, healthy living without shortcuts, and embracing change at every stage. Now in her late 70s, Maye continues as an active speaker, model, and advocate, her journey illustrating how determination, knowledge, and strategic choices empower women to build lasting success and fulfillment regardless of circumstances.

SPACEX: Condensed Gwynne Shotwell TIME interview. The full interview is really good. I suggest you read it. But if you do not have time, here you go: - Merger with xAI: Happened quickly; xAI will largely operate as its own entity with integration over time. Shotwell’s role will evolve as it always has, focused on helping Elon Musk and adding value. AI was already growing at SpaceX; merger brings top talent to accelerate rocketry R&D, including factory robots spotting issues. - Merger Details: Decision was Elon's; Shotwell fully supported it due to increasing AI use and need for deeper expertise. SpaceX has had some AI engineers for 1–1.5 years; merger will speed progress significantly. - IPO: Shotwell is excited about it as a new set of methodologies but is not supposed to discuss details. - Moon vs Mars Focus: Not abandoning Mars; more energy on Moon for data centers in space, mass drivers, and producing AI satellites on the Moon using lunar materials (lower gravity makes launches faster/cheaper). Manufacturing on Moon not surprising. - Lunar Timeline: Humans on lunar surface before 2030. HLS (Human Landing System) planned ready by 2028, though much must go right. - HLS Contract: Shotwell called Secretary Sean Duffy’s statement about “opening up” the contract “inartful.” No new competition—SpaceX won Artemis III, Blue Origin won Artemis V; no new money awarded. - Starlink: Surpassed 10 million customers (as of Feb 13). Strong growth expected. In conflict zones (Ukraine, Iran, Gaza), operates as licensed commercial service—customers buy equipment and service; not freelancing. No business without local license. - Starlink Privacy Policy: January update automatically opts users into data for AI training. Shotwell heard zero complaints and addresses all customer issues personally. Company follows all laws; will fix any misuse. - Constellation Size: ~10,000 Starlink satellites launched. Likely cap 15,000–20,000. Requested FCC licensing for up to 1 million AI satellites for distributed space-based data center network (surprised it got little news). - Orbital Operations: AI satellites in multiple shells, possibly around Sun. Safety first; emphasizes communication of maneuvers for space traffic control. Compares 30,000 satellites to 30,000 cars on Earth—sparse if positions are shared. - Launch Record: Over 600 Falcon 9 successful launches (608 noted). 165 launches last year; ~140–145 expected this year, then tapering as Starship ramps up. Over 85% of US launches in 2025 were Falcon 9. - Starship Role: Will carry heavy payloads like AI satellites and eventually humans (up to 300 passengers depending on destination). Internal demand from Starlink/AI satellites drives production consistency, safety, and human transport capability. - Lunar Governance: Unknown final model. Elon not top-down; lets people work independently. Starbase example (from nothing to chartered city) may be precedent. Subject to Outer Space Treaty on Moon. - Political/IPO Concerns: No worry about volatility—broad customer base across commercial, civil, military, and international markets balances cycles. Current administration’s focus on sensible regulation helpful for launch industry (40–60 approvals/licenses per launch). - Working with Elon Musk: Shotwell loves working for him nearly 24 years. Finds him funny, grants her freedom/flexibility. He has become more comfortable with people; remains demanding. Interactions easier over time. Recalled him describing his children as “love bugs.” - Long-term Dreams: Personally wants to meet another sentient species (facilitated by SpaceX/xAI work). Expects lunar infrastructure starting with robots then people; would like to visit Moon. Million people needed for sustainable off-world civilization. - Space Policy: Every administration since joining SpaceX (except possibly last) focused on getting more people into space and expanding human exploration. - Gender in Industry: Never focuses on male-female dynamics. Values communication skills. Hopes to be role model for girls/young women in STEM (“you can’t be it until you see it”—girl from Illinois cow town helping change world). Women drawn to positive-impact fields. Mechanical engineering: her undergrad ~9% women; now much higher, but progress not fast enough.

TSA is largely funded by a tax on every ticket. It adds $5.60 to every one-way ticket & $11.20 to roundtrips. Everyone in line right now is already paying the TSA fee, even for free reward travel. The government has previously diverted that money to the Treasury. Pay the agents.
