With this man at the helm, SpaceX will surely continue receiving contracts from NASA. SpaceX is intricately linked to Elon’s ambitions for Starlink. Remember, Starlink is used by even the military in many countries. Potential growth of Starlink is immense. #finsky www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1/5 FT: "Donald Trump has said he will levy tariffs of 25 per cent on all imports from Canada and Mexico." This would be counterproductive for trade. It is the kind of mistake we make when we consider trade as a bilateral issue, rather than systemic. www.ft.com/content/8b98...

"A 10% across-the-board tariff would raise $423 billion. A 20% tariff would generate over $800 billion per year in revenues, assuming that it doesn’t start a trade war." Do these estimates take into consideration the potential decline / collapse in domestic demand? #finsky #econsky
