🇺🇸🇮🇷 Insane close-up of the U.S airstrike on Iran's B1 bridge in Karaj, west of Tehran.

Chamath predicts 99.999% chance Tesla and SpaceX effectively become one company @chamath "Dollars to donuts, these things are going to merge. It'll make Elon's life tremendously simpler from a governance perspective. It'll make the companies and this quibbling about his time a non issue. He's building the robots, but they're used inside of SpaceX. He's building a Terafab, they're used inside of Tesla, he's building xAI they're used across both. So I think we need to do this."

🇮🇷 Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf just posted a very pointed question about which countries and companies depend most on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait for oil, LNG, wheat, rice, and fertilizer shipments. To be clear, that's a multi-layered threat. First, the Houthi card. Iran doesn't border the Bab el-Mandeb; Yemen does. By pointing at this chokepoint, Ghalibaf is reminding everyone that Tehran can order the Houthis to shut down the Red Sea entirely. Despite Saudi backroom efforts to keep them quiet, Iran is signaling they're ready to pull the trigger. Second, he's weaponizing global starvation. He didn't just mention oil and LNG. He specifically highlighted wheat, rice, and fertilizer. With Hormuz already choked and crude past $140, closing Bab el-Mandeb would simultaneously trigger an energy crisis in Europe and food shortages across the developing world. Third, he's putting a target on corporate boardrooms. By asking "which companies" have the highest transit volumes, he's warning the likes of Maersk and MSC that their vessels are in the crosshairs. The goal is to spark panic in maritime insurance markets that halts shipping before a single missile is even fired. The message to Washington is crystal clear: keep bombing our capital and dismantling our infrastructure, and we will use our proxies to dismantle the global supply chain. Two chokepoints. One lever. And Iran still has its hand on it. And he's doing it with a thinking emoji, which might be the most menacing use of an emoji in the history of geopolitics...

🇵🇸🇮🇱 At least 6 people were wounded after an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza struck what the IDF claimed were "armed Hamas operatives who posed a threat to Israeli troops."


Next flight of Starship and first flight of V3 ship & booster is 4 to 6 weeks away


🇮🇷 The IRGC launched a missile in Tehran yesterday that came straight back down seconds after takeoff. Iran is firing at Americans and misfiring at itself.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump claims the U.S. already achieved regime change in Iran "by accident": "I never liked the idea of regime change because it's too complex. But we got it." The old Supreme Leader is dead, sure. But the new one literally just posted a statement pledging to continue the exact same policies. If the ideology, the IRGC, and the resistance doctrine all survive, calling it regime change is like replacing the sign on the building and claiming you renovated the whole thing...

🚨MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.” You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening. The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement. Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.
