@NevrEnoughX @SawyerMerritt @Teslaconomics @SpaceX For Fidelity you need to have $100,000 in non-401(k) accounts to participate in the IPO. Presumably you can still buy shares at market price immediately afterward, but you miss out on that initial bump. :(

SpaceX filed its amended IPO filing (S-1/A) today. Here's everything new that I found: • In relation to acquisitions, divestitures, or other strategic transactions, @SpaceX says they "may issue a significant amount of equity in connection with future transactions." 👀 • SpaceX has reserved 5% of its IPO shares for select employees and friends and family of its executive officers. These shares will not be subject to any lockup period. • SpaceX deal compute lease deal with Anthropic includes ~325,000 NVIDIA GPUs, backed by hyperscale-class CPUs, exabyte-scale storage and high-speed networking and interconnects. • As of December 31, 2025, the company had 4.1 million X Premium Basic, X Premium and Premium+ paid subscribers and approximately 900,000 SuperGrok and SuperGrok Heavy paid subscribers. • SpaceX added American Airlines as a @Starlink customer in the filing. • The underwriters will not receive any discount or commission on any shares of our Class A common stock sold pursuant to the over-allotment option. • The shares subject to the extended lock-up period, together with the shares held by Elon (which are subject to a 366-day lock-up period), represent approximately 7.8 billion shares of common stock, or greater than 60% of SpaceX's shares outstanding immediately prior to this offering. • Elon Musk has agreed with the underwriters, that during a period of 366 days after the date of this prospectus, all of the shares owned by him are subject to the restrictions described in the paragraph below; and certain shareholders have agreed that, until the release of our financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2027, certain shares owned by them are subject to the restrictions described in the paragraph below (subject to timed automatic releases described in the “Underwriting—Lock-up Agreements” section of this prospectus). Shares held by Mr. Musk will not be subject to any early release provisions. • SpaceX added new language that: "If a court declines to transfer an Internal Dispute to the Business Court, but such court is later held not to have personal or subject matter jurisdiction with respect to such Internal Dispute, the arbitration provision would not be triggered because such action would be required to be dismissed and subsequently brought in a court of competent jurisdiction." • SpaceX added some language stating that Elon Musk has the right to vote all of the performance-based restricted shares of Class B common stock that remain outstanding from his grant that was approved on January 13, 2026: "our board approved the grant of 1 billion performance-based restricted shares of Class B common stock to Mr. Musk. The restricted shares vest upon (i) our achievement of specified market capitalization milestones across 15 equal tranches and (ii) the Company’s establishment of a permanent human colony on Mars with at least one million inhabitants, in each case, subject to Mr. Musk’s continued employment with us through the date on which achievement is certified by our board."

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy. Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead. There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems. We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes. @NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible. America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

@SecWar Could’ve given them a pay raise instead wasting all the money on munitions to attack Iran in a useless war.

Thanks to President Trump’s historic $1.5 TRILLION military investment, our troops will receive the LARGEST pay raise in modern history. We are also making a GENERATIONAL investment in barracks, military infrastructure, and troop support systems. America First = Troops First

@Mr74131408 @DJSnM NASA will definitely be looking for options to keep Moon Base momentum. Falcon Heavy sent Europa Clipper. Surely it could send Blue Moon.

@DJSnM AmazonLeo can shift launch to falcon 9 but can HLS bluemoon launch by falcon heavy or three stage superheavy? Looks like moon landing depending on Elon.

This is NOT the headline you want to be associated with. The N1 explosions in the late 60s doomed the Soviet moon mission that was competing with Apollo at that time. The pad damage alone could take a year to fix. Hopefully they can move faster. And this just after a seemingly rushed decision by the FAA to allow this next flight.

The entire event yesterday, launching missions, landers, rovers, tech demos building a Moon Base, and sci-fi capabilities like MoonFall, brought to you by those who Dare Mighty Things. Just the very beginning. What a time 🇺🇸
NASA JPL@NASAJPL

Four JPL-built propulsive drones – known as MoonFall – will survey the lunar surface at potential @NASAArtemis landing sites in unprecedented detail. The mission is part of the initial phase of the @NASAMoonBase initiative. Learn more: jpl.nasa.gov/missions/moonf…

This transition from ICE to BEV in Denmarks private households is simply astonishing. Just imagine this. It's 2019/2020. COVID is happening. Almost all cars are ICE. Forward to today? Basically all new cars are BEV.

Behold the “space cake.” Making cakes on the @Space_Station with our rather limited “baking” supplies is an art, requiring creativity and resourcefulness. I loved making cakes for my crewmates on my first mission and considered myself adept, but our cosmonaut colleagues on Expedition 74 have certainly taken it to the next level. Here’s an example of their recent work, in celebration of 100 days in space for @astro_hathaway and @Soph_astro, and my 300th day. It tasted even better than it looked!

@DrKnowItAll16 My 2020 MYP was fine until the 2026.8.6 update. Finally acceptable after 2026.14.3. I suspect the update changed the way/amount the cameras report in preparation for v14 lite, but that FSD v12.6.4 can’t handle the increased input, just like you describe in the video.

Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC·
If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominate force requiring a diplomatic solution. This combination of Iran being perceived as having the ability to terrorize the Strait in perpetuity and the ability the inflict massive damage to Gulf oil infrastructure is a major shift of the balance of power in the region and over time will be a nightmare for Israel. Also, it makes one wonder why the war started to begin with if these perceptions are accurate. I personally am a skeptic of the idea that Iran cannot be denied the ability to terrorize the Strait and the region cannot protect itself against Iranian military capability. It is important we get this right.

@BasedMikeLee Trump incites violence constantly. He’s a legitimately terrible human being. Personally I don’t want him dead, because I want him to suffer public humiliation for all the pain he’s caused people and for the damage to our country!

Senator Tuberville says Democrats should “shut the hell up” about Trump’s plan to hand out $1.8 billion to alleged victims of government weaponization because Democrats spent $7 trillion:  That is what we are up here for. We fund Ukraine, Europe, NATO but when it comes to America not one time in six years other than the big beautiful bill have we done one thing to help the American people. President Trump is exactly right—let's help these people get back on their feet and tell the Democrats to shut the hell up because they almost ran this country into the ground by spending $7 trillion we never should have touched.
