A Wall Street bank just said SpaceX is worth $10.4 trillion — more than Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and Berkshire Hathaway combined. That makes no sense, until you discover what's likely driving their optimism: fees. The real reason Wall Street loves SpaceX ... it's all in

The early crypto skeptics deserve more credit. Not only did they call all of this, they did so in the face of constant shaming and harrassment. (Not to mention everyone pointing to the increasing value of their crypto wallets as evidence that they were wrong.)

Gavin Newsom’s recent appearance on Hannity is a masterclass in communication and debate. A must-watch for all leaders — no matter what field you’re in or what party you belong to. How Newsom took on Hannity, a thread🧵

My boss (@profgalloway) has been locked out of his account for > 2 weeks now. @elonmusk I thought this was the free speech platform?

9/ Those are just a few great moments. There are many more. Some takeaways: - It pays to know your sh*t - Don't blindly agree/disagree, listen - No notes > notes - Owning mistakes is rhetorically powerful - Be affable, it's disarming - Let your opponent finish their argument

10/ We need more of this in American politics. Well-researched long-form debates involving both sides. Every leftwing politician should be willing to go on a rightwing news show and speak, and vice versa.

Even when the institutional investors flooded in, they held firm in their beliefs. Brave enough to say, just because Sequoia likes it, doesn't mean I should. Brave enough to say something wasn't right.

1/ Hannity starts by attacking Biden with a laundry list of political issues as though it’s assumed they’ve failed. Newsom: “Let’s talk about all of them - IN ORDER.” Off the bat he demonstrates any rhetorical flourish will be met with an informed and data-driven response.

They also had no financial incentive to speak out. Just a personal obligation to call a spade a spade and help spread the truth about the dangers of financial malpractice. Respect!

6/ Hannity brings up California emigration and comes prepared with notes and charts. Newsom makes a point of allowing Hannity to show ALL his data and deliver ALL his points. Doesn’t interrupt. When Hannity’s done, Newsom adds all omitted data, then turns it back on him.

2/ When Hannity tries to change topics, Newsom redirects him back to the premise Hannity himself had introduced. He then demonstrates the hypocrisy of highlighting Covid’s effect on Trump’s job record while refusing to acknowledge its relationship with Biden-era inflation.

11/ Also want to point out my respect for @seanhannity for having Newsom on in the first place and airing it. He could have simply not aired it or misleadingly clipped it. Instead, he showcased the full debate.
