🇮🇳 India just smashed a solar record. In Q1 2026 alone, the country installed 15.3 GW of solar capacity, the highest quarterly addition ever, and a massive 143% increase from Q1 2025. India is moving at incredible speed on renewables.

2026 is 37% complete 🫨

🇯🇵 Japan faces a 34% reduction in transportation due to a lack of truck drivers, with a job-to-applicant ratio that is double the national average

💤 US teens getting less sleep than ever. Homework, social pressure and jobs still keep teens up but now screen time and social media rob their sleep. Only 22% of older adolescents saying they slept at least 7 hours each night.

🇩🇪 Which of these stereotypes about German people, in your opinion, is most true?

@DallasAptGP I’m not selling any shares

A crazy tax idea for Elon Musk. He could become the biggest OZ investor in history. The IPO is the trigger. SpaceX goes public June 12 under the ticker SPCX and the valuation might go to $2 trillion. The largest IPO ever. Insider lockup runs 180 days. It expires around December 15. The day it ends, insiders can sell. Every share sold throws off a capital gain. For Elon, holding billions in SpaceX paper, the gain is staggering. Under the new Opportunity Zone rules that take effect January 1, 2027, any capital gain rolled into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days of the sale earns a five-year tax deferral. Sell in late December 2026. Invest in early 2027. The tax bill is not due until 2032. If the QOF investment is held for ten years, the entire appreciation comes out tax-free. No capital gains. No depreciation recapture. Zero. But Elon isn't going to suddenly start investing in apartments or hotels in low income areas. He is going to remain obsessed with investing in his core businesses. Good news. The town of Starbase, Texas sits inside an Opportunity Zone census tract. Grimes County, where Musk is building a $55 billion semiconductor fab called Terafab, has three OZ tracts of its own. Elon could sell SPCX shares after lockup. Roll the gain into his own Qualified Opportunity Fund. Use that fund to build infrastructure at Starbase or finance the Terafab site. Then lease the asset back to the public company. SpaceX pays the rent. The rent is deductible to SpaceX. The depreciation flows to Elon and offsets his other income for a decade. Then he sells the QOF interest in 2037. No tax on the appreciation. No recapture on the depreciation. The original gain that funded it all was deferred to 2032. The IPO funds the infrastructure. The infrastructure runs the company. The taxpayer pays nothing for ten years and almost nothing forever. This is the crazy idea. The mechanics are real. The zones are real. The IPO is real. I am glad to advise his tax team. 🤠

⚛️ Italy is preparing its return to nuclear power. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced that her government will approve an enabling law this summer to create the legal framework for reintroducing nuclear energy, 36 years after shutting down its last reactors.

🥵“Super El Niño” possibly incoming in 2026 Scientists warn we could see one of the strongest El Niño events on record by late 2026, similar in strength to the devastating 1877 event that triggered global famines and tens of millions of deaths. Current forecast (NOAA, May 2026): • 82% chance El Niño develops soon • 96% chance it lasts through winter • 33% chance of a rare “Super” El Niño Expect more extreme weather: droughts in some regions, heavy rains/floods in others, and record global heat. We’re far better prepared today… but food security, wildfires, and vulnerable countries could still face serious challenges. Source: NOAA Climate Prediction Center + recent analyses

🇵🇱 Poland one of only four countries worldwide where a majority support hosting a US military base. Poland, Romania, Israel and South Korea are the only countries where support for hosting American bases exceeded opposition.

🇫🇮 Finland just greenlit 40-year mortgages 🏠 Starting in June, homebuyers can stretch loans over 40 years (previously capped at 30).

@stats_feed This is absolute craziness in today’s day and age.

🇨🇩 Congo confirms new Ebola outbreak, 80 deaths. Eighty people have died in a new Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern Ituri province, the country's health ministry said late on Friday.

The average purity of methamphetamine in the southwestern USA is 96.9%.

Growing difference in car sizes in the USA means that as many as 25% of deaths would be prevented if everyone drove the same type of car, or 9,300 people/year according to SWOV Institute for road safety research
