LAYOFF ALERT: GITLAB 🚨 GitLab announced a restructuring that will flatten management, cut its country footprint by 30 percent, and reorganize R&D into 60 autonomous teams. CEO Bill Staples called it an investment in the “agentic era.” Total cuts to be announced June 2.
L’accord conclu aujourd’hui entre Airbus et AirAsia représente la plus importante commande d’avions commerciaux de l’histoire du Canada. 150 appareils Airbus A220-300 seront fabriqués par des travailleurs canadiens dans des usines canadiennes, ce qui soutiendra des milliers d’emplois partout au Canada et ici même à Mirabel, tant dans les métiers spécialisés que dans ceux de l’ingénierie.

🚀 TESLA + LITHIUM MPD THRUSTERS FOR MARS IN 4 WEEKS? THE BRUTAL TRUTH 🔥 Elon’s empire just got asked the ultimate question: Can Tesla actually build the insane lithium fed plasma thrusters that could slash Starship trips to Mars down to 4 to 5 weeks? Here’s the no BS breakdown: ✅ What Tesla CRUSHES Lithium supply chain and Gigafactory scale production. They are already the kings. High power electronics, inverters and thermal management at EV level. Mass manufacturing of complex systems at insane volume. ❌ What Tesla has ZERO experience with Lithium plasma propulsion. This is not a battery. It is 5000°C+ vaporized lithium turned into a magnetic rocket. MPD thruster physics, electrode erosion and vacuum plasma dynamics. Space qualified high current systems running for 20 000+ hours. Bottom line: Tesla cannot design these thrusters today. This is hardcore NASA/JPL plasma rocket territory. The real opportunity: If the core tech is proven by NASA/JPL, Tesla could become the world’s factory for giant dockable 20 to 50 MW Mars Power Modules. These modules would attach to Starship in orbit, deliver a massive chemical kick from the Raptors, then switch to continuous plasma thrust for the cruise and braking phase. This is the ultimate convergence of Tesla and SpaceX. Same vision. Same lithium DNA. Same “make it real” energy. Would you let Tesla mass produce the engines that take humanity to Mars in under 5 weeks? Drop your take below 👇 #MarsInWeeks #Tesla #SpaceX
