It literally looks like a NUCLEAR BOMB went off.
ElonMusk responded: βMost unfortunate. Rockets are hard.β
Insane to watch.

SpaceX millionaires 4,000 x $1mil , 400 x $100 mil
Every employee who joined before the first succesful launch made (unless they sold early) more than $100 million.
SpaceX lists June 12 at ~$1.75T.
Work backward from the cap table. At $1.75T, clearing $100M takes ~0.0057% of the company.
- 2002β2008, first ~500 in: joined at a ~$50M company. Held to $1.75T = a 17,000x. The core of the club β maybe 150β250 left holding
- September 2008, SpaceX has first successful launch
- 2010β2016: joined at $1Bβ$10B. Needs a senior grant β directors, principal engineers, early Starlink. ~100β200
- C-suite + board: Shotwell, Johnsen past $1B. A layer of SVPs below them clears $100M on equity, not salary. ~20β40
- Post-2016: joined at $20Bβ$350B. To hit $100M you'd have needed ~0.4% of the company. Impossible for an employee. This is the millionaire tier β almost none reach $100M
The tally:
~400β500 at $100M+
A few dozen above $500M
A handful of billionaires past Musk
Same building. Same mission. Two orders of magnitude apart β set entirely by what year you walked in.
Early isn't a strategy. It's a date stamp.

Remember this? Why do you ask?
As 18-year-old Henry Nowak lay bleeding to death after being stabbed by a Sikh invader, three female UK police officers stood over the scene, laughed while he was dying, doubted that he had even been stabbed, and took his phone to search it for βracism.β
Women should not be cops. Full stop. Some truths only sound harsh because this age has declared reality itself offensive.

$200M INDIAN AI ACQUISITION SCRAPPED AFTER ITS NUMBERS UNRAVELED
Minute Media, the publisher of Sports Illustrated, laid off 12% of their staff today.
They also unwound their $200M acquisition of Indian AI startup VideoVerse, a deal they closed just eight months ago, citing "significant gaps in VideoVerse's presentations."
Founded in Mumbai in 2016 as Toch AI by Saket Dandotia, Vinayak Shrivastav, and Alok Patil (pictured), they rebranded to VideoVerse in 2022.
To close the deal with Minute Media, VideoVerse reportedly claimed about $65M revenue with 35-40% EBITDA margins, which is why Minute Media was willing to pay 200M.
The catch: VideoVerse's most recent publicly filed revenue, for FY23, was about 233K. If true, that is a gap of nearly 280x between the pitch and reality. The "inconsistencies" were not publicly disclosed, though, so we may never know.
They bought first and found out later.
Yikes.

Three female police officers walk up to a man sitting on a barrier and tell him heβs under arrest. He stands up, casually shrugs off the attempt to restrain him, and jogs away while they make a half-arsed comical chase.
This is British policing in 2026.
How embarrassing is this?
These are the people youβre supposed to call when youβre in trouble.
Youβre meant to feel safe knowing that you can rely on them.
When forces lower physical standards, dropping the bleep test requirement from 5.4 to 3.7 in many forces, removing the upper body strength test entirely in 2016, and prioritising diversity targets and recruitment numbers over real competence this is exactly what you get. Public safety becomes optional.
Get rid of DEI.

US corporate revenues have never been this concentrated:
The top 1% of US firms by sales now account for a record ~82% of all corporate revenues.
This percentage has risen +22 points since the 1950s.
The top 20 firms alone account for a record 50% of all US corporate sales.
Concentration has increased +10 percentage points since the 1980s.
At the same time, corporate profits after tax as a proportion of US GDP stand at 12%, near an all-time high and more than double 2001 levels.
This means a shrinking number of companies are capturing a growing proportion of both revenues and profits across the entire economy.
The market and economy have never been more concentrated.
