Sometimes it can feel like nothing matters. That nothing you do makes a difference. But did you know that in 1943, after the Nazis rounded up the Jewish spouses of non-Jewish Germans in Berlin, their families gathered in the street & protested for 7 days. 1/3 www.contrariannews.org/p/somebody-h...

The lesson of Nazi Germany was never just about monsters. It was about the rest of us.

Trump is trying to slap NDAs on federal workers because apparently the “law and order” guy is terrified of government employees telling the truth. Nothing screams “innocent” like trying to gag the witnesses.

This is an absolutely terrifying escalation by the regime. They have now criminalized our freedom to fight the crimes they commit against us and our neighbors. These protesters acted with extraordinary courage and moral clarity.

I have my concerns about Platner, like most. Since we live in hell, we're also dealing with a new political reality where scandals that would've ended careers no longer matter. In part due to the corruption of Trump, but also bc people are pissed and want change, even if the messenger is flawed.

As soon as tomorrow, Senate Republicans could force a vote on the MAGA spending bill that would shovel over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. The GOP is hoping the public is too distracted to notice their attempt to rush this bill through before the holiday weekend. We need to get loud.

Oh this is delightful. Let's start with SpaceX's violation of 17 CFR § 229.504 (Item 504). Their "use of proceeds" neglects to mention they are contractually obligated to use the first $20 billion from it to pay off a bridge loan. This is also while their quarterly cash burn exceeds $8 billion. /1
USE OF PROCEEDSWe expect to receive approximately $           of net proceeds from this offering (or $           if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock in full), based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $           per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund our growth strategy, including the expansion of our AI compute infrastructure, enhancements to our launch infrastructure and launch vehicles, increases in the scale and capacity of our satellite constellations, and any remaining amounts for general corporate purposes.SpaceX Bridge LoanIn March 2026, SpaceX entered into a new bridge loan credit agreement (the “SpaceX Bridge Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders, providing for an unsecured bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $20,000 million. The SpaceX Bridge Loan matures on September 2, 2027, with two three-month extensions at the Company’s option, subject to the absence of a continuing default and the payment of an extension fee of 0.25% of the aggregate outstanding principal per extension, resulting in a final extended maturity date of March 2028. The proceeds of the SpaceX Bridge Loan were used to repay the X B-1 Term Loan, the X B-3 Term Loan, the xAI Fixed Rate Loan, the xAI Floating Rate Loan and the xAI 12.5% Senior Secured Notes (as defined and described in Note 10, Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus). The Company may also use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.The SpaceX Bridge Loan bears interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate per annum equal to (i) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75%-1.75% (depending on the Company’s debt rating), or (ii) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate, (c) Term SOFR plus 1.0% and (d) 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% (depending on the Company’s debt rating). In addition, the Company is obligated to pay duration fees equal to 0.125% of outstanding principal on the first anniversary of closing and 0.25% of outstanding principal on the fifteen-month anniversary of closing. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the SpaceX Bridge Loan.The obligations of the Company under the SpaceX Bridge Loan are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by X Corp., X.AI LLC, and CTC Property LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company). The SpaceX Bridge Loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Company is required to use an amount

Everyone knows "1776" was *the* battle cry of the January 6 insurrectionists, right? I wrote a book on the armed rebellion Trump incited, and if you missed that his Terrorist Slush Fund is $1.776B *explicitly* to signal its aim of making MAGA terrorists rich, that's... a big miss.
