🇱🇾 | Libyans took to the streets of Misrata on Friday over power cuts of up to 14 hours a day, and a new deal being brokered by the US. Libya holds Africa's largest oil reserves, but the recurring blackouts have made daily life unbearable for residents. The signs went beyond the blackouts. Several targeted a US-backed political initiative now being negotiated. The initiative is led by Massad Boulos, US President Donald Trump's envoy and the father of his son-in-law. It would formalise a split between Libya's two rival administrations, in place since 2014. Under the proposed terms, Tripoli's prime minister stays on. The eastern commander's son takes the presidency. US oil companies gain access to the fields. "Unfortunately, here we are in 2026 and history is still repeating itself" a protester said, 15 years after the NATO intervention that left the country fighting over power.

Deutsche Bank sees $SPCX nearly tripling its ARR to $100B by year-end: • Neocloud ~$48B • Starlink ~$13B • Cursor ~$12B • Starshield + Enterprise ~ $11B • Space ~$7B • Advertising ~$4B • Grok/X/Other ~$3B You're also seeing how SpaceX is no longer relying on launch and Starlink alone with AI infrastructure becoming the largest contributor to the next leg of growth. That matters because SpaceX plans to scale compute from >2 GW exiting 2026 toward ~10 GW next year on $NVDA Vera Rubin making ~$100B of ARR look more like the base of a much larger AI-driven S-curve.

Bill Ackman thinks Amazon $AMZN compounds earnings at 24% a year for the next 5 years. That’s earnings roughly tripling. And it’s why the valuation works, because Amazon isn’t cheap at 27x forward. If earnings do 2.9x and the multiple compresses all the way to 20x, the stock still doubles. His thesis has already played out once. When he bought in April 2025, AWS was growing 17%. Last quarter it did 37%, fastest in over 4 years. The part people miss is the silicon. Trainium and Graviton crossed a $20 billion run rate, and Amazon has locked in 2GW of Trainium capacity for OpenAI and 5GW for Anthropic. They’re not just renting Nvidia chips anymore. Tepper, Klarman and Sanders Capital have all been buying it too.
