Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

This is Enron-like. SpaceX has committed $1.6 billion to lease a data center in Mississippi. But instead of simply saying that, they structure it as an unconsolidated 49.9% interest in a joint venture. The only source of revenue for the "joint venture" is... the SpaceX lease. /6

The above tables exclude operating lease agreements that have been signed as of December 31, 2025, but not yet commenced for the aggregate lease payments of $1,627 million and an average lease term of 7.2 years, including the operating lease arrangement with Stateline. Refer to Note 9, Investments in unconsolidated affiliates for additional

Equity method investmentIn April 2025, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary CTC Property LLC (“CTC”), entered into a joint venture Stateline Power, LLC (“Stateline”), with Solaris Power Solutions Stateline, LLC (“Stateline Power Solutions”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (“Solaris”). Stateline was formed to provide off-grid power to CTC’s data center campus pursuant to a long-term equipment rental arrangement. In connection with the formation of Stateline, Solaris contributed non-cash assets valued at $86 million, consisting primarily of progress payments on power generation equipment now owned by Stateline and pre-funded expenses, in exchange for a 50.1% equity interest in Stateline. CTC contributed $86 million in cash in exchange for the remaining 49.9% equity interest. Interests in Stateline held by CTC were subsequently assigned to MZX Tech LLC (“MZX”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
