Change Elon Musk’s ship for Jeff Bezos

by

The narrative in Washington is that the race to return to the moon is being lost. While China advances with a firm step to put two astronauts on the lunar surface before 2030, the NASA Artemis program hangs from a thread. That thread is called Starship, and less and less involved trust that it is ready to take Americans to the surface of the moon. There is a plan B. A investigation The veteran space reporter Eric Berger reveals that NASA officials could have a plan B to comply with the White House slogan: return to the moon before China arrives for the first time. Given the distrust of Elon Musk, who said publicly that the moon seemed like a distraction and that his priority was Mars, despite the multimillionaire NASA contract that finances the development of Starship HLS, the solution seems to be the ship of its great rival: Jeff Bezos. All to a letter. To understand where this pressing American need to win the lunar race comes from, you have to go back in time. After the disaster of the Columbia space ferry in 2003, NASA focused on the Constellation program, which ended up deriving in the SLS rocket and the Orion spacecraft, whose development leads Boeing and Lockheed Martin. In addition to huge cost overruns and delays, these two vehicles have ended up costing NASA the headaches of an inefficient architecture to return to the moon. The Artemis III mission, scheduled with optimism by 2027, plans to launch four astronauts in a SLS rocket, take them to the lunar orbit in the Orion ship and then, to two of them, to the lunar surface in a starship HLS of Spacex. That NASA chose the Spacex Starship as the only option for Artemis III (and then Artemis IV) has ended up being its second big mistake. Even if it was the cheapest candidate and Spacex, he was already testing prototypes in flight, it is not the simplest ship to reach the moon: since he uses cryogenic fuel, which has to evaporate, he needs to refuel in orbit several times before embarking on his lunar trip. The revenge of Jeff Bezos. Blue Origin, the Jeff Bezos aerospace company, denounced NASA at that time for having put all the eggs in the Starship basket. NASA also ended up hiring its Blue Moon ship, but for future Artemis V and VI missions. Now, after years seeing how Musk dominated the sector, Bezos has the opportunity to take revenge. Blue Origin could advance Spacex With a simpler lunar architecture: a modified version of its Aunaging module Blue Moon Mark 1, originally designed for load flights. The company would be adapting it to carry crew, taking advantage of everything learned in the development of its next -generation manned ship, the Blue Mooon Mark 2. It is 1969 again. The MK1 key is its simplicity: it would not require refueling in orbit, only send several MK1 to lower astronauts to the surface and then ascend again to meet with the Orion ship. It is an approach that, according to Blue Origin engineers, is feasible and could be executed before the decade ends. That is, before China reaches the moon. What the United States wins. It is actually the United States that has put this idea of ​​a lunar career against China in the collective imaginary. China has been playing long -term since it started throwing robots into the moon. But now that its date of sending astronauts is approaching, the US urgency is not accidental. The White House She is obsessed with winning Chinato the point of having vetoed Chinese citizens even at meetings for NASA zoom. He has also advanced the Artemis II mission to show that he is still in the game. He is NASA’s acting administrator, Sean Duffy, close to the government, who promotes the narrative: “We are going to win the Chinese on the moon.” At the same time, it’s not just a matter of pride. Settle permanently on the moon It is not just for glory, it is for the control of its resources. The first country to establish a functional base will have the pan by the handle. With Spacex Plan A accumulating doubts, Blue Origin’s proposal is presented as the alternative that NASA needs.

Two companies monopolize more than 50% of Elon Musk’s fortune. None of them is Tesla

by

Elon Musk is again in the focus of technological news after Tesla’s proposal to offer a salary bonus 1 billion dollars To “motivate” the millionaire. While it is true that getting it will not be easy, that remuneration would be the key for Elon Musk to become the First billionaire in history. Before such a figure, many (Even Pope Leo XIV) They consider it excessive. However, Tesla has a weight of weight to offer that figure: the car manufacturer is no longer the main origin of Elon Musk’s fortune, which can see more interesting to put aside Tesla and dedicate her efforts to obtain greater benefits with Spacex, XAI, Starlink or Neuralink. A megaplan of 1 billion dollars. After Judicial cancellation of the 2018 Bono, valued at more than 56,000 million dollars (according to the value of the shares), Tesla has presented A new salary plan before the US stock and values ​​commission. To achieve such a fortune, the CEO must comply with a very demanding roadmap, which will be delivered in a staggered way as they are unlocking milestones over a decade. Most of these objectives now sound like science fiction, given the delicate Tesla’s commercial situationbut we must not undervalue Elon Musk’s ability. For example, to meet the conditions of its salary bonus, Musk must make Tesla sell 20 million additional vehicles and that the company reaches a stock capitalization of 8.5 billion dollars, starting from the current valuation of around 1 billion. In addition, you must deploy one million of autonomous robotaxis and of the Optimus robots with integrated Grok, multiplying by 24 the current benefits of the company. More tesla pastel. In reality, the remuneration of the salary bonus is carried out in the form of 423 million shares of Tesla, so that Elon Musk would expand its participation in Tesla from current 13% to 29%. This would allow Elon Musk to have More influence and power of veto on the Board of Directors. However, I would also turn Tesla back into the main FElon Musk’s income. At present, Tesla represents about 140,000 million of the almost 471,000 million that Musk treasures, according to the Millionaire index of Forbes. Tesla doesn’t shine as much as before. Such and as they highlight in CNBCalthough Tesla remains relevant in the proportion of Musk’s heritage, at this time the private companies of the millionaire are those that are experiencing a greater economic growththus winning greater prominence in his fortune. Musk’s estimated participation in Spacex is 42% and is already worth more than 168,000 million dollars, especially after New SpaceX assessment in 400,000 million dollars in its last round of investments. Up to the AI ​​train. In addition, XAI Holdings, the artificial intelligence startup that “bought“The social network X, reached an assessment of 80,000 million in March 2025. After some Additional investments of Musk, his startup of AI has been revalued up to 113,000 million dollars, according to I pointed Forbes. HE esteem that in the next financing rounds the company of AI that Grok develops It could exceed 200,000 million, of which Elon Musk controls 50%. Although in a minor average, Neuralink has also grown up to an assessment of 9,000 million dollars today, of which Elon Musk is a 51%holder. Together, the three main private companies in Musk would already exceed Tesla’s weight in the person’s fortune richer in the world. Tesla has put a price to become the gold mine that was: 1 billion dollars … if you get your goals, of course.

Elon Musk’s brother

by

A miracle … of technology. On Saturday night, more than 3,000 drones illuminated the Vatican’s sky to recreate the best known works of Miguel Ángel or Pope Francis’s affable face. But the real surprise was under the swarm of drones. The head of the show was Kimbal Musk, Elon’s brother, who had the idea during a festival in the Nevada desert. A little context. As a culmination to the world encounter on human fraternity, the Vatican organized the Grace for the World eventwhich had a poster of stars such as Pharrell Williams, John Legend and Andrea Bocelli, who sang Duo with Karol G. The most commented of the night, in addition to that unexpected duet, was the synchronized flight of the 3,000 drones about the Basilica of San Pedro before 80,000 spectators. While the music sounded, the drones recreated with points of light “the creation of Adam”, which Miguel Ángel painted in the Sistine Chapel, or the “Piedad del Vaticano”, which Miguel Ángel Buonarroti carved in Marble 500 years ago. Nova Sky Stories. The company responsible for the show has as CEO and founder a man of unmistakable surname: Kimbal Musk. How is the brother’s brother who wants to take us to Mars ended, who says he felt the voice of God After trying the ayahuascaorganizing a light show for the Holy See? That is the best part of the story. Kimbal Musk with a Nova Sky Stories drone Kimbal founded Nova Sky Stories In 2022 when buying Intel Drone Light Shows, the Intel division for this type of shows. But he had the idea a year earlier during the “Free Burn” festival, which replaced Burning Man during the pandemic. It was there that an artist named Ralph Nauta used drones to recreate in the sky the effigy of the man who traditionally burns in Burning Man. What Kimbal witnessed, in your own words“He changed his life.” A year and a half of negotiations. Convinced of the potential of drones not as a simple substitute for fireworks, but as a new means to create large -scale art, Kimbal Musk approached the Vatican In early 2024, when Pope Francis still lived. After his death, the new Pope Leo XIV gave his blessing to continue with the event. A fleet of 9,000 drones. Like Elon Musk, Nova Sky Stories presumes a completely vertical ecosystem: they design and manufacture their own drones, and develop all software and firmware internally. This allows them an agility and problem solving capacity that, according to themselves, is unique in the sector. Although in the Vatican only 3,000 drones flew simultaneously, the company has an arsenal of more than 9,000. Each weighs 340 grams and can illuminate with a 24 -bit color depth. To orient, drones use satellite positioning technology “Real-Time Kinematics” that corrects real-time GPS data with centimeters accuracy. In a long -term show such as the Vatican, the drones are scheduled to return to their load bases, recharge and be replaced by others in the air, all without the public perceiving it. If a drone deviates from his route, he first tries to return to his position, then return to the base and, as a last resort, turn off your engine to fall to the ground. Substitutes of fireworks? The Vatican event confirms an upward trend: drones are replacing or complementing fireworks in mass events worldwide. From the Mega -spectacles in China to the most modest versions of the Malaga Fair or the Mercè festivities in Barcelona. They are safe, silent and reusable. But for Kimbal Musk the objective goes beyond simple substitution: “I do not idolize the technology. Idolate the result.” His mission is to consolidate drones as a legitimate artistic medium, capable of telling stories and, above all, of generating an emotional response: “If we can make the grandmother cry …”.

Grok has become the last madness of Elon Musk, we create music with electricity and more in 1×20 crossover

by

Have New Crossover episodeand also with a very round number: it is the twentieth of this program in which we mix technology, opinion and entertainment and that as always present Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia. The beginning of the episode is already to grab males, because in crossover we have invited Álex, an electrical engineer and disseminator, to show us a brutal experiment: music made with lightning and electricity in the style Nikola Tesla. The section of a Popular Opinions premieres new questions that raise interesting debates. For example, do Chinese cars offer more than Europeans? Then we establish an interesting debate about that model of AI that is not spoken as much as it may be: Grok, from Xai, is Elon Musk’s attempt to win the AI ​​careerbut its approach is radically different from that of its competitors. In fact, it’s an approach A little crazy in which censorship shines for his absence. We certainly have much of what to talk about in this episode, so we invite you to enjoy it and, if you want, to share your comments and suggestions for this and future episodes. A for 1×20 crossover!

It was hired by Spacex at age 14. Now, with 16, the young genius has turned his back on Elon Musk to go to Wall Street

by

His history turned the world. Kairan Quazi graduated at the University of Santa Clara with 14 years. Almost immediately, He was signed as Spacex software engineer. Now, the young prodigy has abandoned Elon Musk’s space company to work in finance. The youngest employee of Spacex. He was not a fellow they sent for cafes. For two years, Kairan was one of Starlink engineers, the Spacex satellite Internet network. His work was critical: he designed the software that determines where the satellites point their beams to offer a stable connection. “I had a very broad field of work and a lot of responsibility, especially for a junior engineer,” Count the boy to Business Insider. Spacex expected him to lead projects from beginning to end: develop ideas, present them to other engineers and address, implement them and supervise the deployments. With 16 years, I needed a change. After two years at the aerospace avant -garde, Kairan Quazi felt prepared to “assume new challenges and expand their skills” in a different high performance environment. The young prodigy received offers from the most leading artificial intelligence laboratories, but it was a proposal of Citadel Securities, a trading giant, which finally convinced him to leave Spacex. Now work as quant unaveloper developing financial models. Quants, the elite of programming. The decision to change rockets for financial algorithms is not accidental. For the best mathematicians and software engineers, only artificial intelligence competes in attractiveness with the world of finance specialized in quantitative analysis. With millionaire wages, the Quants sector combines the complexity and intellectual challenge of other sectors with a much faster rhythm, measurable in days, not in months as in many research environments. In algorithmic trading, an idea is tested, implemented and gives results (for better or worse) in a matter of hours. For the rest, a teenager. Kairan valued that Citadel Securities did not take into account his age or his years of experience when offering opportunities. But sometimes he has to remember that he is a teenager. During his stage in Spacex, his mother had to take him to work every day because, with 14 years, he had no driving license. The episode in which LinkedIn erased the account for not having fulfilled the minimum age of 16. From Silicon Valley to Wall Street. Kairan was born in the San Francisco Bay area and He began his university studies with nine years. After his early entry into the working world, he now moves to Manhattan, where he will live 10 minutes walk from the office. This Bangladesí-American, fond of reading, video games, escalation and piano, lands in a city that already knows for its family roots in Queens. Wall Street will mark a new chapter for a young man who seems to have no limits. Image | Scu In Xataka | What Spacex has achieved with Starship is incredible.

The hidden reason why Elon Musk Lanza Satellites of Archienemigos like Jeff Bezos: The radio spectrum

by

On Monday morning, Spacex completed its 100th launch so far this year. But aboard the Falcon 9 rocket there were no new Starlink satellites, but a lot of 24 competition satellites. How have we reached a point where Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, rivals on so many fronts, collaborate in space? A little context. Starlink has been growing without opposition for six years. At this time, Spacex has deployed More than 8,000 satellitesconsolidating an almost absolute domain of the satellite broadband Internet market. Now, a competitor with a comparable financial muscle has entered the scene: the Amazon Kuiper Project. The company founded by Jeff Bezos has begun to display its own megaconstellation to offer high -speed connections worldwide and compete directly with the Elon Musk service. Time against. The main challenge for Kuiper is time. The license granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States requires him to have half of his constellation in orbit (that is, 1,618 satellites of a total of 3,232) before July 2026. Unlike Spacex, which has a complete vertical integration, Amazon does not manufacture its own rockets. To fulfill the deadline, the technological giant made in 2022 the “greater commercial acquisition of history of history”, signing contracts with ULA to use its atlas V and Vulcan rockets, with Arianespace to use the European rocket Ariane 6, and with Blue Origin, the aerospace company of Jeff Bezos himself, to use the gigantic new Glenn rocket. The problem is that most of these pitchers are new and have suffered important delays. They are just business. Although Bezos tried to prevent Amazon from using Spacex services, the most honest option with shareholders was to hire several Falcon 9 rockets, which thanks to their unique reuse capacity usually offer the lower price per kilogram Put in orbit. Spacex has already shown that he is willing to launch satellites of his competitors. Between 2022 and 2024 he launched four lots of satellites for Eutelsat Oneweb, his European rival, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine took the Soyuz and proton rolling from the market. For Spacex, this is a round business because the money of its competitors is pocketed, which can reinvest in its own satellite constellation. But there is another reason. A strategic issue that goes beyond the launch business. The coin of covert change is the increasingly saturated radio spectrum. According to one Wall Street Journal ResearchSpacex has used its dominant position in the release market to press its rivals and obtain a crucial advantage for Starlink: spectrum rights. The radio spectrum is the electromagnetic wave set that are used for wireless communications. It is a resource finite, invisible and absolutely essential so that satellite constellations can send and receive data without interference. Governments around the world, through organizations such as FCC in the United States, are responsible for assigning rights to use it. Spacex needs more spectrum. And he needs it desperately to be able to serve the More than four million Starlink users As it continues to expand. According to the Journal, Musk’s company would have asked companies such as Oneweb and Kepler Communications to give him part of his spectrum rights as a condition for launching his satellites. Although Spacex denies it, the report details how Oneweb, after running out of the Russian rockets, reached an agreement with Spacex that included “spectrum concessions” to ensure the releases it needed. Elon Musk’s web. This strategy places Spacex competitors in an incredibly difficult situation. It is a dilemma that the analyst Tim Farrar Describe as “Carefully choose”. Companies such as Echostar or GlobalStar have had to decide between going through the Spacex ring, giving competitive advantages, or paying more for slower access to space with other rocket companies. If there are. Ast Spacemobile, who had opted for the New Glenn rocket of Blue Origin, found that Bezos’s rocket would not be ready on time And their satellites, much heavier than expected, will have to wait. Apple’s case. In 2022, Musk I had offered Apple exclusive access to Spacex For 5,000 million dollars, an offer that Apple rejected. Apple ended up closing an agreement with GlobalStar for its satellite emergency service, but later, the delay in the launch of GlobalStar’s satellites by Spacex seems to have benefited Starlink. The explanation of the delay and renegotiation of the launch contract seem to have to do with that Apple will end up reaching an agreement To offer Starlink Direct-to-Cell on the iPhone 13, a model that is not compatible with the GlobalStar service. This gave Starlink an advantage in the race for the cell connection at a time when Apple already debated internally if he could compete with the rhythm of Spacex. The giant Starlink. In the end, each launch of a competition or agreement satellite by the spectrum becomes a tactical victory for Elon Musk. Not only does it charge for the service, reinforcing the finances of a company whose income They are about to overcome NASA’s budgetbut it uses its domain to ensure the most vital resource for the future of global communications.

Sam Altman and Elon Musk hate each other publicly, so Altman has attacked where it hurts most: Neuralink

by

Openai was totally focused on his mission of achieving an AGI, but now he doesn’t want to just. As indicated In Financial Timesthe firm is preparing to invest in Merge Labs, a startup that develops brain implants and that competes directly with Neuralink. Or what is the same: Altman has declared war on Musk. Again. A new startup against Neuralink. According to this economic newspaper, Altman and OpenAi will be the main valuables of this project, which will raise an investment round that will make Merge Labs have an assessment of 850 million dollars … without having a product in sight for the moment. Alex Bania will be involved in the project, which Direct the Startup World with which Altman has the ambition to scan the Iris to billions of people. The OpenAi CEO, yes, will not be responsible for the new startup and will remain focused on leading your AI company. Altman already showed interest in brain implants. This entrepreneur has already wrote A long article in his blog in 2017 in which he speculated on a possible “fusion” between man and machine in 2025. New advances made the theme resume Another entrance This year he pointed out that we could soon have “large bandwidth interfaces between the brain and the computer.” Merge Labs hopes to lift 250 million dollars, although at the moment the negotiations are just starting. Neuralink will have more competition. Although there were already companies working in this areaNeuralink – who Musk founded in 2016 – has gone winning notoriety. This year the company lifted $ 650 million and has an assessment of 9,000 million dollars. If the creation of Merge Labs is confirmed, a new battlefield between Musk and Altman will open. As if they didn’t have enough. Dialectical battle. In 2015 Musk and Altman, co -founders of OpenAi, were nail and meat. Both believed that AI had an extraordinary future, and united strength to make that future reality. Then the thing was twistedand since then They walk to cakes dialectics We have just lived the last of those fights, and the thing is already adopting a terrible tragicomic tone. But also yesterday Musk complained in x that there was a kind of business conspiracy that prevented Apps like Grok from reaching number one in the App Store. “Apple is the entrance door to the Internet for half America (USA). And when promoting OpenAi in all possible ways they are impossible for any other AI company to succeed.” It isn’t true. Like many other Musk statements, this era was false. They soon appeared Community notes in that post in which it was indicated that other apps of AI such as Perplexity or Deepseek had managed to reach number one in the App Store in some markets. But the thing began to be encouraged from that moment. Sam Altman enters the scene. OpenAi’s CEO wanted to replicate to Musk and answered his tweet indicating That “this is a surprising statement, taking into account what I have heard about what Elon does to manipulate X for their own benefit and their companies, and to the detriment of their competitors and the people who do not like.” Analysts such as Casey Newton analyzed the problem in the past and concluded that, indeed, Musk used a system in which His messages always had preference About the rest of the users. The fight returns. That message caused Musk’s rapid response, which He told Altman “You have achieved three million views of your shit post, liar, many more than I have received in many of mine, even though I have 50 times more users than you.” That was at that time: right now Altman’s post has 12.8 million visits. Musk, yes, had its point: if I control the platform, it could have minimized the impact of Altman’s message. Musk, confesses. In turn, the Openai CEO pointed out that many of Musk’s followers were actually Bots. And then proposed Something: “Will you sign a affidavit that you have never ordered changes to algorithm X in a way that has harmed your competitors or helped your own companies? I will apologize if so.” Grok betrays his musk. The tycoon did not answer directly, but that’s when an X user intervened, who He directly asked GrokX chatbot, what thought about the argument. And the funny thing is that Grok He put on Altman’s side: “According to verified tests, Sam Altman is right. Musk’s antitrust demand against Apple is undermined by applications such as Deepseek and Perplexity, which arrived (number one of the App Store) in 2025. On the contrary, Musk has a history of forcing changes in algorithm X to boost their publications and favor their interests, according to reports of 2023 and ongoing investigations. hypocrisy “. And chatgpt betray Altman. Shortly after, the Chatgpt app one shared Grok’s tweet and wrote: “Good bot”, but that is where Elon Musk intervened again, who shared a capture of a conversation with GPT-5 Pro. In it he asked the OpenAi chatbot who deserved more confidence, if Sam Altman or Elon Musk. After thinking a minute and 16 seconds, The answer was: “Elon Musk”. As A user said When you quote that musk tweet, these chatbots are not determinists, and if one repeatedly asks the same thing, both Elon Musk and Sam Altman could have answered. The problem is the media. In fact Musk defended his model again presuming that he had betrayed him because he was a “entire” chatbot, and also tried to explain why his chatbot had “betrayed him.” According to him“The fact that Grok is allowed to make false defamatory statements about me and not block them or eliminate them (what would be easy to do, do) speaks of the integrity of this platform. As you mention, Grok gives too much credibility to traditional media! This is a serious problem and we are working to solve it.” It is best not to believe anyone too much. This dialectical battle, the nth between … Read more

In his efforts to retain Elon Musk, Tesla has found a formula to motivate him to follow as CEO: 29,000 million dollars

by

Tesla has approved a New Actions Package For Elon Musk valued at approximately 29,000 million dollars According to the market value. The new remuneration plan to the CEO of Tesla has, as the sole objective of binding the chair of executive director, at least In the next two years. The measure arrives at a time when the company’s actions seem to have stabilized after successive political earthquakes caused by Musk, who have shaken the confidence of investors. This tense calm has led to Tesla seeking to ensure the permanence of Elon Musk in front, with a new temporary agreement that, as They stood out in Financial Timesmove away from conventional ones Bonds by objectives of the CEO Of the big companies and seems to be more an incentive for Musk to change their attitude and focus on their work in Tesla. 29,000 million in exchange for behaving well The new incentive package, valued in about 29,000 is, in reality, A temporary solution. The previous Musk remuneration bonus approved in 2018 for more than 56,000 million dollars was blocked up to twice by a delaware court before the complaint of a Tesla shareholder who He considered it excessive. The court He proved him. That is, Elon Musk would have been working since 2018 in exchange for a symbolic salary to which the law forces (about $ 56,000 a year, According to the accounts presented by Tesla) to which the CEO resigned, since it could not collect the incentive bonus it did. With this new remuneration package, Tesla seeks a way to compensate Musk for the work of the last seven years, while unlocking his previous compensation. If you finally unlock Your 2018 bonus, This package will be canceled and will only receive the 56,000 million dollars that he had already achieved. The package approved by Tesla gives Musk 96 million restricted shares that may be exercised with a fixed price of $ 23.34 per share, well below the current market prices that are around $ 300 per share. In order for Musk to receive these actions, he must continue playing a management role (not necessarily CEO, just manager) in Tesla up to at least 2027 and maintain blocked shares five years later to only sell what is necessary for taxes. The electric car manufacturer has defined the offer as a “first crucial step” for a “long -term compensation strategy for CEO”. Its plan is to design a more detailed remuneration plan and with a more long -term vision for Musk before the company’s shareholders board in November, to submit it to a vote. Attracts attention that, unlike what is usually common in Incentives to managersthis remuneration is not linked to the demand for greater dedication of Musk to solve the problems of Tesla or the achievement of certain challenges that the company has ahead, such as overcoming The fall in sales In good part of the world markets, the Robotaxi implantation autonomous or the development of Optimus robots. Tesla seems to conform to Elon Musk occupies CEO’s chair for the next two years, a rather lax demand taking into account that a few months ago investors claimed Musk to dedicate At least 40 hours per week to Tesla, considering that divides its time into other companies such as Spacex, Neuralink and XAI. Musk motivation and future A few months ago, before the judicial blockade of his 2018 bonus, Musk himself already stated that he can “lose motivation” if he is not compensated properly and dedicate Even less time To Tesla. Therefore, this millionaire package is key to having it focused on the company and preventing it from dispenseing in its other projects. As the Wall Street Journal remembered, Elon Musk said he wanted to have enough control Voting not to be “unseed by activist investors.” “It is not a matter of money. It is a reasonable control over the future of the company. Above all, if we are building millions, potentially billions, of humanoid robots. I can not sit wondering if the activists are going to throw me for political reasons. It would be unacceptable. That is the only thing that matters,” he said In an interview During the Catar Economic Forum in May. The main trick in Tesla’s manga is that Musk, in addition to its CEO, is also one of its main shareholders, controlling approximately 20% of its actions. That is some 194,000 million dollars of your personal fortune. Which is already in itself A good incentive.

China already thinks about strategies to neutralize Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites. Your plan: submarines and powerful lasers

by

Chinese scientists have developed strategies to neutralize the Starlink Satellite Network of Elon Musk, which Beijing considers a military threat. According to the medium The Independentamong the proposed measures are furtive submarines equipped with spatial lasers, attack satellites with ionic propellants and sabotage of the supply chain. An analysis of 64 academic articles published in Chinese magazines reveals the concern of the Asian country for Spacex’s spatial domain. Why worries so much Starlink. The constellation of satellites carried out by Elon Musk controls two thirds of all active satellites in the world, with more than 8,000 operational units. Its ability to provide fast and cheap connectivity anywhere on the planet, including remote areas, makes it a strategic tool. Chinese researchers They fear that the United States will use it as a military weapon after checking its effectiveness in Ukraine, where facilitated the communications of the Ukrainian army and the control of combat drones. What China poses. Several Chinese researchers and scientists have proposed multiple approaches To counteract Starlink. Engineers of the Popular Liberation Army suggest creating a fleet of spy satellites that follow those of Musk, collecting signals and using corrosive materials to damage their batteries. Other researchers propose optical telescopes to monitor the network, generation of false objectives through Deepfakes and the use of powerful lasers to burn equipment. They have also identified vulnerabilities in the Spacex supply chain, which has more than 140 main suppliers. They will not only be countermeasted. Beijing is not limited to planning countermeasures: it is building its own alternative. In 2021 the Chinese state company created SATNET To develop Guowang, a military megaconstellation that already has 60 operational satellites of the 13,000 planned. In parallel, The Qianfan companysupported by the Shanghai government, has launched 90 satellites of the planned 15,000 and already competes for contracts in Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and several African countries. The geopolitical context. The Ukraine War marked a turning point in Starlink’s global perception. The conflict showed that the control of satellite communications can tip the balance. What worries China is that a single man like Musk can also interrupt critical services. The medium raises as an example that time in which the tycoon He denied his coverage For a Ukrainian counterattack in Crimea. This dependence on private actors He has not only alarmed Chinabut also to traditional allies of the United States such as the European Union, which invests billions in Your own Iris2 constellation. What comes now. The overwhelming domain of Starlink in space, which already operates in more than 140 countries and only has dead areas in North Korea, Iran and China, has triggered a undercover space race. While Amazon develops her Project Kuiper With just 78 satellites, China accelerate your programs To reduce Musk’s advantage. Interestingly, one of the papers of Chinese researchers simply had the following title: “Be careful with Starlink”. It is clear that space control will be an advantage for armed conflicts and commercial wars that are being released.
