"You're doomed! You're all doomed!"
Waiting for Elon to pull out Texas :
🚨 BREAKING: Democrat James Talarico WINS the U.S. Senate race in TEXAS, DEFEATING Republican Ken Paxton, per DDHQ
Pray for our country tonight. We're going to need as MUCH help from God as we can get.
Trump won Texas by about 14 POINTS in 2024.
This is a FIVE-ALARM fire for the Texas GOP.

Over 1 Gigawatts of compute on phase 1. Two more Gigawatts in the expansion area on the north side of the Port. Additional and adjacent compute in the pipeline as well as multiple Port accesses; this is in advance of orbital compute :
SpaceX's pending power filing reportedly lists 35 gas turbines, about 748 megawatts at first.
• Eight larger ones would follow
• Start dates are listed as "TBD"
• TCEQ's public file shows no documents

Might be stick built vs module stacked with a conjoined tower crane. Having the tower crane has the additional benefit of crew elevator instantly available instead of retrofit into semi complete tower.
Gets the crawler crane unemployed faster; I approve :
Notice the overhang 🤔👁
eBX :
🚨 IS ELON MUSK BUYING $EBAY?
$EBAY is up +4.7% today, hitting a new all-time high, right as Elon Musk is publicly backing the idea of an $AMZN competitor.
Building an Amazon competitor from scratch would take years.
Buying eBay gives Musk overnight:
• 136M active buyers
• 2.6B live listings
• A massive global seller network
• Decades of transaction and pricing data
• Existing payments + marketplace infrastructure
Then combine that with X distribution, Grok-powered shopping agents, and X Money.
Suddenly, eBay isn't just an old marketplace.
It becomes the infrastructure for an AI-native commerce platform where agents search, compare, and buy products for you.
Amazon is actively restricting third-party shopping agents.
Musk wants the opposite direction.
If Musk seriously wants to build an Amazon competitor, acquiring $EBAY might be one of the fastest ways to do it.
And the timing of today's move is definitely interesting.
So, one person considers that many trays a meal ? What does a holiday feast like Thanksgiving or New Year's look like ???

Robot housing for Optimus :

SpaceX's Katy Groom told Pecan Island residents "the actual launch infrastructure is very small."
Construction will still cover about 40,000 of the 125,000 acres. That's nearly three Manhattans of Vermilion Parish coast. The land is leased from the local development board after the state got it from Exxon through a lawsuit.
What would you want SpaceX to leave untouched in those other 85,000 acres?
