@elonmusk SpaceX is going to crush- Bypassing the bureaucracy and selling compute capacity to competitors like Anthropic and Google while deploying their own at whatever level they'd like. And they can do it at terrestrial cost parity TODAY.

Hmm

@jasonwhitlock The WNBA wasted their moment. Caitlin would have been better off starting her own league and avoiding the racist bullies.

Caitlin Clark was efficient and effective last night, BUT the Thrill is gone, baby.

@Artfulgiant256 @John_Hudson 👆Retard

@TomGlassAI @John_Hudson You have a choice.

SCOOP: A confidential new U.S. intelligence analysis details how China is exploiting the war in Iran to maximize its advantage over the United States across a range of fields, including military, economic and diplomatic 🧵

@alon_mizrahi You win "dumbest post on X" for the day, and maybe the year. Well done.

For the first time in memory, a US president visits China and it is clear that China is the greater power in that relationship; the bigger military power, the bigger economic, scientific and industrial power, and the better liked country globally. A huge shift happened, but we are not yet fully aware that it did happen because it didn't involve great violence. But China is not a rising power: it is the big power, just without the self-aggrandizing and narcissism, the glut, and the drama

@pmddomingos Or if the Democrats ever come back in power.

Kiss your freedom goodbye if China wins the AI race.

@anishmoonka This is going to give SpaceX enormous pricing power.

A SpaceX rocket put an NVIDIA H100, the same chip running ChatGPT, into low Earth orbit last November aboard a satellite the size of a small fridge. It's been training and running AI models including Google's Gemma at 325 kilometers altitude, powered entirely by sunlight. So today's WSJ headline about Google and SpaceX talking orbital data centers slots into a two-year industry buildout with hardware already in orbit. A solar panel in the right orbit produces about eight times more power than the same panel on Earth, since there's no atmosphere absorbing the light and no nighttime to interrupt the supply. Waste heat radiates straight into space, so there's no water needed for cooling. Texas data centers consume roughly 25 billion gallons of water annually, projected to reach 161 billion by 2030. The International Energy Agency expects global data center electricity to nearly double to 945 terawatt-hours by 2030, more than Japan uses today. The economics still don't work on paper. Google's own feasibility study says launch costs need to fall from about $1,000 per kilogram today to roughly $200 per kilogram before orbital data centers undercut ground ones. The crossover lands around 2035, assuming SpaceX's Starship reaches 180 launches a year by then. But the money chasing this is moving faster than the timeline. Big Tech's AI infrastructure spending topped $400 billion in 2025, with five companies now outspending the entire global oil and gas industry. The IEA expects the total to climb another 75% in 2026. Google announced Project Suncatcher in November with two prototype satellites set for early 2027. SpaceX filed paperwork in January with the US satellite regulator for as many as a million orbital compute satellites. Blue Origin's TeraWave constellation targets 5,400 satellites, while China has announced a 200,000-satellite plan. Starcloud, the startup behind the H100 launch, hit a $1.1 billion valuation in March, the fastest any Y Combinator-backed startup has ever done so. Bezos said in October he expects gigawatt-scale data centers, the power output of a nuclear reactor, in orbit within ten years. Starcloud-1 has been running compute from orbit since November. WSJ's scoop is Google deciding to send its own.

@MarioNawfal Mario, I loved most of your takes, but you need to stop sourcing the New York Times and "intelligence sources". These are the same sources that gave us the Russia collusion hoax and many other ongoing conspiracies.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 U.S. intel ALLEGEDLY leaked that Iran still has 90% of its Strait of Hormuz missile sites fully restored and 70% of its mobile launchers + stockpiles intact. Trump says their military is “destroyed,” and it really seemed that way during the last days of conflict. Does anyone know what the hell is actually going on anymore? Source: New York Times

@PBDsPodcast Reroute

Iran May Have Found the World’s Biggest Weakness "This is what Iran just figured out. 97% of the internet that we use travels through underwater cables. $10 trillion a day is going through that cable and 2 of them go through the Strait of Hormuz." "Now they're talking about how they're gonna mess with the cables. If they mess with the cables, guess who's gonna be impacted by this economically? Everybody, the whole world."

@unusual_whales “Per the Economist” 😂

"Prolonged AI use may make it harder to think critically and creatively," per the Economist

@MorePerfectUS Nevada is choosing to use its energy in Nevada rather than sell it to California. So what? California residents can get their energy from California sources now. The fact that California is mismanaging their energy policy is not Nevada's problem.

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. NV Energy, the Nevada utility that has supplied most of Lake Tahoe’s electricity for decades, says that next year it will stop servicing homes in the area, and instead direct that electricity to the growing demand from Nevada data centers. Northern Nevada is one of the fastest-growing data-center corridors in the country. fortune.com/2026/05/12/lak…

This here is exactly the problem with enterprise today. None of the decision makers, including those in IT, Are using AI intimately enough to really understand what can be done. That said, they have the Innovator's Dilemma in spades on all pricing/product decisions while also having almost no codification of how their processes really work (and why) today. Add corporate politics and bureaucracy, and they have an extraordinary challenge. Small AI native companies have a huge opportunity and I don't envy the challenge enterprise organizations are going to have.

I spoke to five Fortune 2000 execs today about the state of AI. I asked each one “What’s the most challenging part about this moment in AI?” The CISO said: “There is an ocean-sized gap between hype and reality, which makes discerning what’s real exhausting.” The VP of AI engineering said: “Everyone acts like they’re an expert, yet the main reason so few AI use cases have reached production in enterprises is because true expertise requires experience in scaled systems, enterprise politics, AI fluency, governance and guardrails, and deep process knowledge. Almost no one is actually an expert.” The CTO said: “Our remit is to cut costs, but you can’t actually take AI transformation seriously without increasing AI/R&D budgets up front to ultimately drive bottom line once things are in production and performant. It’s an unrealistic expectation.” The Chief of Staff said: “My job is to drive AI upskilling across the organization, and after doing it for 2 years I’m exhausted. Yes there’s potential ROI from all of the agentic workflows we’re building, but soul and humanity are being sucked out of our processes.” The Finance leader said: “We acquired a multibillion dollar old school business. Getting that business to be AI-native is incredibly painful largely because people aren’t ready or willing to adopt it.” I’m having convos like this every day because I'm building an invite-only AI community for enterprise execs (and interviewing folks before I let them in), but if you find these notes helpful I’m happy to keep sharing them!

Hey @elonmusk, Could you have X at a filter capability where we can set minimum follower thresholds for posts and comments that we want to see? I have noticed that 90% plus of trolling and spam is from low follower and likely extraordinarily new accounts. Seems like a simple way to improve the experience here. @xai

@NormOrnstein "Contributing editor for the Atlantic" enough said- ignore.

Here is a prediction: China will push Trump to take a deal with Iran with China guaranteeing overseeing removal of nuclear material, a ten year agreement not to pursue nukes, $20 billion and lifting of sanctions, Iran opens Strait of Hormuz (and charge tolls for ships.) 1

@JDunlap1974 Obama

WHICH WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER OR JOE BIDEN?

@phildstewart Source "Reuters" 🤣

(Reuters) - Both Iraq and Pakistan have cut deals with Iran to ship oil and liquefied natural gas from the Gulf, according to five sources with knowledge of the matter, in a demonstration of ​Tehran's ability to control energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

@Fulcrumbs44 @fitsnews @shanemassey @realDonaldTrump @grok Both are obstructionists of progress

@TomGlassAI @fitsnews @shanemassey @realDonaldTrump @grok One is Massie, other is Massey

🏛️ Love him or hate him, agree with him or disagree with him, S.C. Senate majority leader @ShaneMassey just delivered one of the most honest, impassioned speeches we've ever heard from the well of his chamber - outlining his refusal to go along with @RealDonaldTrump's congressional maps.
