According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

SpaceX has not only already lost a substantial portion of its global Starlink business; the erosion of trust is also leading to the cancellation of significant future contracts, while countries that were on the verge of finalizing agreements are now opting out.
What is particularly serious is that this will have an impact on all of SpaceX’s business divisions and not "just" Starlink.
All this because an unelected, mega-wealthy entrepreneur made life-and-death decisions for foreign countries depending on his technology without even understanding the basics of politics. $tsla
Mii de mulțumiri, cum se spune, lui Elon Musk pentru sateliții noștri europeni!
Fără glumă, dacă el și Donald Trump nu ar fi niște idioți, jumătate din lume ar fi încă blocată pe Starlink (și o altă parte pe Guowang-ul chinezesc).
Dar nu, Elon și Donnie au vrut să ne arate cine deține butonul roșu pentru internetul prin satelit. Ei bine, au reușit. Acum toată lumea l-a văzut.
Un scurt rezumat a ceea ce a urmat după.
Canada:
Guvernul a semnat un contract de 2,3 miliarde de dolari canadieni cu operatorul național de sateliți Telesat pentru a extinde constelația de sateliți Lightspeed pe orbită terestră joasă.
Lightspeed a fost dezvoltat inițial ca un concurent comercial pentru Starlink și OneWeb. Cu toate acestea, guvernul finanțează acum integrarea unui sistem special de comunicații militare în bandă Ka, securizat, și a plasat deja o comandă de sateliți suplimentari de la compania aerospațială canadiană MDA Space.
Finlanda:
Compania finlandeză ICEYE, dezvoltator de sateliți radar SAR, și Nokia au anunțat un parteneriat strategic pentru dezvoltarea unor sisteme de comunicații LEO în bandă largă suverane pentru guvernele interesate ale Europei.
Proiectul își propune să ofere statelor europene o platformă la cheie care permite fiecărui guvern să dețină și să controleze pe deplin propriul segment de comunicații prin satelit, inclusiv criptarea, fără a se baza pe furnizori străini.
Acest concept este cunoscut sub numele de „Sovereign SatCom”.
Uniunea Europeană:
Comisia Europeană a trecut la acordarea de contracte de producție și la extinderea finanțării pentru rețeaua sa suverană de comunicații prin satelit, IRIS².
Airbus Defence and Space a semnat deja contracte la Toulouse pentru producția primilor 66 de sateliți LEO. Thales Alenia Space a fost însărcinată să dezvolte echipamente utile speciale și sigure pentru aplicații guvernamentale.
Programul a fost extins la 348 de sateliți și finanțat cu încă patru miliarde de euro.
Țări asiatice.
Coreea de Sud:
Coreea de Sud a efectuat prima sa lansare orbitală de succes a anului cu propriul vehicul de lansare Nuri (KSLV-II) de la portul spațial Naro.
Racheta a lansat simultan pe orbită 14 sarcini utile, inclusiv sateliți suplimentari pentru constelația națională NEONSAT și mai mulți CubeSats militari.
Japonia:
Japonia a alocat aproximativ un miliard de dolari americani în subvenții pentru dezvoltarea unei rețele de sateliți direct-to-device, complet controlată la nivel național.
Acest sistem este destinat să permită smartphone-urilor obișnuite să comunice direct cu sateliții în timpul cutremurelor severe sau al conflictelor militare.
Proiectul este o colaborare între Rakuten și AST SpaceMobile.
Înapoi în Europa.
Ucraina:
Proiectul UASAT, o inițiativă a STETMAN și a unui consorțiu de parteneri, a finalizat cu succes înregistrarea la Uniunea Internațională a Telecomunicațiilor (UIT).
În prezent, se pregătește satelitul de testare UASAT-NANO, care va reprezenta primul pas către stabilirea unei constelații de sateliți suverani ucraineni.
În același timp, se finalizează acorduri cu Republica Cehă pentru dezvoltarea în comun a constelației de sateliți de recunoaștere optică Suziria („Constelația”).
Mai mult, se așteaptă ca Ucraina să obțină acces la capacitatea de rezervă a sistemului european GOVSATCOM.
Germania:
Am lăsat la urmă compania germană Isar Aerospace, care a lansat pe orbită racheta sa Spectrum cu sateliți pe 5 septembrie.
Deci, cum spuneam, ce s-ar face explorarea spațială europeană (și nu doar explorarea spațială europeană) fără mintea strălucită a lui Elon Musk?
Probabil nimic.
Și, dintr-o dată, ea a decolat cu adevărat.
Prin urmare, să-i mulțumim cum se cuvine lui Elon pentru sateliții noștri europeni.
Fără contribuția sa decisivă, s-ar fi putut să nu-i avem niciodată.

SpaceX has effectively just lost the 🇮🇳 India market, which accounts for 20% of the world’s population, for good.
India represents a market 4.2 times the size of the 🇺🇸 United States.
To make matters worse, there is a growing resistance of allowing Starlink/Starshield services in many other parts of the world, where alternatives are already being developed like in 🇪🇺Europe or 🇨🇦 Canada to mention just two.
It is therefore likely that SpaceX will be unable to establish Starlink services across large parts of the globe. Worse, the same may hold true for SpaceX’s launch services and its data center offerings, whether on Earth or in orbit because its all about lost trust.
A significant volume of capital is now flowing toward other launch providers and start-ups, because what is at stake is national sovereignty, security, and the avoidance of dependence on the political views of a single individual: Elon Musk.
Elon Musk has failed to grasp that his actions regarding Starlink and Starshield in 🇺🇦 Ukraine have undermined global trust in all of SpaceX’s services and that will have a last impact on its business.
Once trust is lost, the business is lost as well. $SPCX

“By the end, Charlie Kirk was leaning to the left- he lost that gun control debate by a long shot”
it’s perfect. Sublime. Every word is in exactly the right place, to move one would be to tear down the harmony. These… are first drafts?
outside of the happy face stuff who is Lula? whats the word on an 80 year old leftist that faced down the full barrel of the empire and won?
I assume he's just as venal, power mad and paranoid as any other top level guy. maybe with some nicer instincts on the environment etc.
This will go down as Flavio Bolsonaro’s 'basket of deplorables' moment. In Brazil, it's common to hear vitriol against Lula: crook, corrupt, etc, all of which is considered banal
Flavio, however, succumbed to the worst caricature of the Brazilian Right by calling Lula '9 Fingers'–an epithet used by elite opponents to refer to the former metalworker who lost a finger at 17
Lula aptly seized on this to attack Flavio for being raised raised in a gated community, never laboring a day in his life and insulting him and workers
It may well have boosted his numbers in the run-off

This literally just exists to hunt and kill people.
This isn't like building a missile or a gun, those devices kill rapidly.
This is a weapon of terror.
It stalks you relentlessly.
You can run but you'll only die tired and scared.
This makes the flamethrower look like a weapon of mercy.
We really need some kind of modern Geneva convention.
Jesus.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

ran to the replies looking for pic related and I wasn't disappointed.
BREAKING: Saudi Arabia offers Yemen's Houthis $1 billion through Tehran to halt their attacks as part of a ceasefire, with Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman flying to Iran to negotiate it and even bringing the money with him aboard the C-130 aircraft he arrived on, per diplomatic Gulf sources to Israel Hayom.
Iran offered to mediate between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. It was represented by President Pezeshkian, SNSC chief Mohsen Rezaei and senior IRGC officials. Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin and Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir were also taking part.
This is one of the biggest concessions from the Saudis yet.

The Sopranos was based on the DeCavalcante crime family. Unfortunately, NY viewed the Jersey mob as a glorified crew. The popularity of The Sopranos gave this family a boost. – at Harrison, NJ

Haley Steven’s: DONT UNFAIRLY DEMONIZE ISRAEL
Israelis:
This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days. Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.

Esto pasó también en México (en menor medida) cuando ganó Sheinbaum. Yo no voté por ella pero se me hace muy loco que veo mucho cómo la reacción del capital se ve como justificación para la acción política. "Vota por Hitler para que no caiga la bolsa" se me hace súper distópico.
