The Starlink/Starshield blame game continues, and no one is taking responsibility for limiting the satellite internet services to Ukrainians. Musk last week said the decision was with Trump. Now, Rubio says that Musk had the decision-making power. xitter.cf/jimmysecuk/status/2112…

Also worth noting that Musk has a history of making philanthropic pledges and not following through. In 2018, he pledged to “fund fixing the water in any house in Flint that has water contamination above FDA levels.” He did not. nytimes.com/2026/10/19/busin…

There are about 72 million kids under the age of 18 in the US. SpaceX's closing share price on Friday was $146.03. If Musk were to actually follow through on this commitment, his gift would currently amount to around $10.5 billion.

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

For the first time this year, data centers have become targets for bombardment in global conflicts. Our analysis shows at least 27 such attacks in 2026. Experts worry the targeting of data centers opens a Pandora's box that cannot be closed. nbcnews.com/tech/security/da…
