John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the Elon Musk and SpaceX news that Elon has announced SpaceX is delaying Mars missions plans by years, to shift focus to Moon missions, and “building a self-growing city on the Moon”. Elon’s most ardent supporters and Tesla influencers are saying it makes a lot of sense, and critics are pointing out that delaying going to Mars is yet another one of Elon’s false “predictions” and claims. For many years, Mars has been Elon’s main stated focuses, and now he’s pivoting.

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down the news that Elon Musk has merged SpaceX with xAI, which includes social media platform X within it. Is this mega-deal a bailout of xAI, and what does it mean for Tesla and Tesla shareholders? After the acquisition, xAI plans to launch a massive AI satellite constellation, with as many as one million satellites, aiming to be an AI data center in space.
