Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt·
I just spoke with Charles Schwab about the @SpaceX IPO. Schwab is one of a handful of brokerages selected by SpaceX to allocate IPO shares to retail investors. If you have an account with Schwab, here’s how to prepare for the SpaceX IPO: 1) You first need to opt into IPOs from the Trade > IPOs page on Schwab's website. 2) After you've opted in and the IPO shows on the page, you can submit an Indication of Interest. The indication of interest will be able to be submitted when the Roadshow period begins for the stock. This is currently expected to be early June. 3) You need to have minimum $100,000 in total balance to be eligible to participate in the SpaceX IPO share allocation. Schwab still doesn't know how many shares will be allocated to their brokerage at this point since SpaceX will be the one to decide that in the coming weeks. Just be prepared to check back on the IPO section of Schwab's website. Additional info will come later. Lastly, don’t be surprised if you receive fewer IPO shares than you requested (if any at all). Demand for the limited number of available IPO shares will almost certainly be extremely high, and these participating brokerages will only get a certain sized allocation of shares to offer to retail investors, so it'll likely be tough to accommodate everyone. The best thing you can do is to just be prepared. Note: SpaceX specifically stated in their S-1 filing that any purchase of their Class A common stock in this offering through these platforms will be at the same IPO price, and at the same time, as any other purchases in this offering, including purchases by institutions and other large investors, which means any retail investors that are lucky enough to get allocated some SpaceX IPO shares will pay the same price as the big guys.

🚧 Heads up, travelers!🚧 Beginning May 11, SLC is giving Terminal Drive a fresh new surface.  Because it’s the airport’s main exit route, travelers should plan for possible delays while repaving takes place through May 27. Two lanes will remain open at all times, but if you’d rather skip the traffic, TRAX is a smooth ride in and out of SLC.  For construction updates, visit slcairport.com

@slcairport parking situation is a disaster right now. No warning, the garage is shut down. You have a large section shut down (appears to be for resurfacing). Tons of passengers desperately driving around looking for a spot. Someone fix it and open the closed lot! Madness.

EXCLUSIVE: Senator @CurtisUT eyeing a run for Governor? His chief of staff, @IronmanCorey, tells me he's not ruling it out. "This is the reason I'm not closing the door. John Curtis will serve where the people of Utah want him to serve. If that is being governor, or if that is staying with the Senate, he will serve where the people of Utah want him."

Utah’s future is at stake!! Largest data center IN THE WORLD (62 sq mi) slated for Box Elder County, Utah being quietly rammed through approvals by Cox & cronies and developed by Canadian millionaire Kevin O’Leary. If it were in SLC (it’s not- just used for size reference here) it would span from the airport on the north to 215 freeway on the south 🤯 Show up Monday, May 4 at the Box Elder County Fairgrounds in Tremonton at 4 p.m. to oppose!

Amazon's internal metrics said customers waited under 60 seconds for customer service. Jeff Bezos picked up the phone in a meeting and waited more than 10 minutes. The head of customer service had been defending the number. Bezos said "Ok, let's call." He dialed Amazon's 1-800 line on speaker. The room sat there for over ten minutes before a rep answered. The metric didn't survive the meeting. Bezos has a saying: when the data and the anecdotes disagree, the anecdotes are usually right. Metrics don't measure reality. They measure what you designed them to measure. Customer service dashboards commonly filter out abandoned calls, cap hold time at the IVR timeout, and start the clock after the menu tree completes. Every one of those choices pushes the average down. The customers hanging up at minute 9 are not in the denominator. The 60-second number was technically accurate and practically wrong. That call broke through a defended metric in a way no spreadsheet could have. The head of CS had dashboards and a team whose job was to report that number going down quarter over quarter. Bezos had 10 minutes of hold music and a room full of people watching. This is the executive test almost nobody runs. Call your own 1-800 line. Try to buy your own product in incognito. Every senior leader can do it in under 15 minutes. Almost none do, because the dashboards feel like the truth and the dashboards say things are fine. The measurement got redesigned. Wait times actually fell. When your data says you're winning and your customers say you're losing, the customers are right. The data was built by people whose job depends on it going down.

@ewarren I'm nowhere near this group and don't personally know anyone who is, but first, cut fraud, and second, find better ways to do more with all the taxes being wasted now. Do more with less.

I have no special knowledge of this particular operation but versed in this stuff generally. What I’ve read said that it was a FARP, which is a Ford Arming and refueling point. Think of it like a ‘convenience store’ for helicopters, needing fuel and ammo, as well as other logistics and communications relay, medical, etc. These can be temporary or more permanent in nature. My guess is one of the C1 30s was a fueler, which is naturally very heavy. That could’ve contributed to it getting ‘stuck in the sand,’ as has been reported. Amazing what our Team pulls off.

So we went in, built a secret base to land our aircraft, IN IRAN, WSO evades 7k feet up a mountain, we send in PJ’s and other SOF to get him, waste some IRGC dudes, planes get stuck at base, we blow them, get ALL our guys out safe, and all the sand people get for a “trophy” are a set of American flag undies. That is the biggest fuck you in the history of the world. 🇺🇸

The investor list tells you exactly what WHOOP is now. $10.1 billion for a company that gives away a screenless rubber band. The device has no screen. No buttons. No display. The hardware is free with every subscription. WHOOP charges $199 to $359 per year for the right to look at your own biometric data in an app. 2.5 million members. $1.1 billion bookings run rate. 103% year-over-year growth. Cash flow positive. Those are SaaS metrics from a company that started as a wristband for CrossFit athletes. Now look at who wrote checks. Qatar Investment Authority. Mubadala. Abbott. Mayo Clinic. Sovereign wealth funds and two of the largest healthcare institutions on Earth. QIA manages over $500 billion. Mubadala manages $300 billion+. These are the same funds buying stakes in global hospital networks, pharmaceutical pipelines, and biotech platforms. They did not invest $575 million because they think recovery scores are cool. WHOOP sits on 24 billion hours of continuous physiological data. Heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin temperature, SpO2, sleep architecture, blood pressure, ECG, and now blood biomarkers through Advanced Labs. From 2.5 million people wearing the device 24/7, generating data every single second. Abbott makes glucose monitors, diagnostics equipment, and cardiac devices used in hospitals worldwide. Mayo Clinic runs one of the largest clinical research operations in medicine. When both of them invest in the same wearable company in the same round, they're buying a distribution channel for continuous patient monitoring outside the clinic. The athlete investors are the packaging. Ronaldo, LeBron, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk. Their names make the fundraise go viral. Their actual function is keeping WHOOP positioned as a performance brand while the cap table quietly fills with healthcare infrastructure capital. Previous valuation: $3.6 billion in 2021. Today: $10.1 billion. A 2.8x jump in five years, with the entire delta coming after WHOOP got FDA clearance for ECG and blood pressure monitoring. The regulatory moat is the valuation inflection. Will Ahmed built a fitness tracker. The cap table says he's building the consumer front-end for the next generation of preventive medicine. The $10.1 billion bet is that the hospital of the future starts on your wrist.

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION  I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round.  But it also represents our push into broader health.  In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is planning an unprecedented move for retail investors in the SpaceX IPO: Elon Musk is considering allocating up to 30% of SpaceX’s IPO to retail investors, far above the typical 5% to 10%, per Reuters. Under this plan, @ElonMusk looks to "tap loyal fans" in the upcoming IPO which could exceed $1.75 trillion in valuation. The plan includes a hands-on approach to banks, assigning firms specific roles rather than broad competition. Bank of America is expected to lead US retail distribution, alongside firms like Morgan Stanley and UBS. The biggest IPO in history is prioritizing retail.
