Elon Musk
Elon Musk@elonmusk·
South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?

@guo_lin99725 For the love of god quit with these long ai answers. I hate when I get trapped into clicking and then reading a novel. At least use ai to get to the point.

$Asts has a Blue Origin problem. the stock doesn't. I hate delay… it makes me confused… risks was changed bigger… Asts is supposed to launch 45 to 60 satellites in 2026. the first one — BlueBird 7 — was supposed to fly in March. then April 10th. then April 14th. now it's April 16th, and as of 48 hours ago the rocket was still sitting in the assembly building, not even at the launch pad. and the thing is, this is not a surprise. the 28-day gap that should worry you here's what happened. on March 2nd, during the Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO Abel Avellan said BlueBird 7 was expected to launch in March. on March 30th — 28 days later — AST officially circled April 10th as the new target. that's a 28-day information gap. either AST didn't know it was slipping on March 2nd, or it did know and didn't say so. neither version is acceptable for a $36 billion public company. you can decide for yourself which scenario is more likely. companies of this size with these launch timelines generally don't get their dates wrong by four weeks. more likely: AST was negotiating with Blue Origin in private during those 28 days, trying to find a slot, and the market found out when AST decided it was ready to say something publicly. that's not a confidence-inspiring supply chain partner. the April 9th incident, parsed carefully Blue Origin's 2CAT second-stage testing facility on Merritt Island experienced what it called a "high-energy anomaly" on April 9th. a test damaged the building's roof. no injuries. the company announced a two-day delay from April 14th to April 16th on April 10th. here's the part that matters: as of April 10th — the same day Blue Origin announced the two-day delay — the New Glenn rocket was still in the assembly building. it had not been moved to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. a two-day delay announcement should mean the hardware is ready and waiting. the fact that the rocket was still in the Bay suggests the delay announcement was optimistic even by Blue Origin's own standards. the 2CAT facility is where Blue Origin tests the second stage of New Glenn. if the April 9th anomaly involved hardware slated for NG-3 — and we don't know this for certain, but it's a reasonable inference — then Blue Origin needs to inspect, diagnose, and potentially repair or replace that hardware before flight. two days is not enough time for that. this is why the stock is at $94 instead of $120. the market is watching. the dependency risk nobody is talking about AST needs New Glenn. not just prefers — needs. from the earnings call: New Glenn's 7-meter fairing gives twice the payload volume of 5-meter class commercial launch vehicles and can carry up to 8 of AST's largest Block 2 BlueBird satellites per launch. AST has designed its entire Block 2 satellite form factor around New Glenn's geometry. that means AST cannot simply switch to SpaceX or another launcher if Blue Origin slips. redesigning satellites for a different fairing takes years. AST is locked into New Glenn for the foreseeable future. and Blue Origin, despite two successful flights, is still a developing orbital program with two flights total. the third flight — with a reused first-stage booster for the first time — was scheduled for a month ago, then this week, now next week. that's not a mature launch provider. that's exactly the kind of partner that can compress a competitor's deployment timeline by 12 to 18 months if things go wrong. the silver lining BlueBird 7 itself is safe. AST encapsulated the satellite inside the New Glenn payload fairing on February 19th — well before any of these delays. the satellite is at Cape Canaveral, ready to fly. the accident on April 9th was at Blue Origin's Rocket Park manufacturing facility on Merritt Island, not at the launch site. the satellite is not at risk. #asts #spacestocks #satellite #blueorigin #newglenn #investing

Finally saw Dracula with Caleb Landry Jones. I met him years ago when he came to Asheville during filming of Three Billboards. I thought he was homeless. He’s cleaned up now and played his role as Vlad as the role needed - a lot of passion. Loved it. share.google/Ls6QksgiF9Xgf7…

Since Trump took office, over 352,000 Federal employees have been fired, resigned, or retired and were not replaced. The Federal workforce is smaller today than at any point since 1966.

@fandompulse That makes me want to watch it now. At least he gets it. Today’s celebrities have conflated our love for their entertainment for our implied interest or support of their politics.

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?
