Thanks to @elonmusk & @SpaceX, the City of Memphis finished its Fiscal Year ahead of budget for the first time in a long time.
The City is tracking roughly $5.6 million ahead for the current year.
Memphis Mayor Paul Young said this week that SpaceX generated $54 million in taxes for the City and County this year.

100GW in space is roughly equal to 800GW on Earth.
Moreover, solar on Earth must be paired with massive batteries to continue powering compute at night and supplemented with combustion or nuclear power during winter.
These are not the same at all.

Actually, we’re aiming for 1TW/year from Earth, rising to over 1PW/year from the Moon.
That’s why I say that if we achieve this outcome, SpaceX will obviously be worth more than Earth, because space is so staggeringly enormous!
Replying to @zerohedge
SpaceX has a chance of going about half the GW next year of actually usable compute.
“Actually usable” is an important metric. It takes us ~2 months working 24/7 to get a large compute cluster working reliably. I’d guess closer to 6 months for others.
Tesla Megapacks are designed to ensure grid stability, so that you never have a blackout
Tesla's Controller-Hardware-In-the-Loop (CHIL) is key to bringing Megapack sites online faster
CHIL allows us to simulate the entire site in real time before it’s connected to the grid. We can see how the site will respond to faults, frequency changes or if a tree were to fall on a power line.
CHIL validated 444 grid-forming Megapacks at Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub before grid connection, delivering 600 MW / 1.6 GWh of storage months ahead of schedule
Hire Grok @Bot as a colleague and give it your hardest tasks!
Bernie is the meme
You might not want to take Bernie too seriously on tech issues.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shared image is a fabricated Washington Post clipping. Bernie Sanders was mayor of Burlington until 1989, first elected to the House in 1990 and never a senator then; no record exists of him calling to ban the Internet.
