These are the community benefits if @SpaceX builds their planned $50 billion Arizona Supercomputing Campus: • 6,500 jobs (1,000 permanent, 5,500 construction). • Up to $103M annually in new property tax revenue. • 10-40% lower electricity bills projected for local SSVEC residential customers. • Up to $250M in one-time county sales tax revenue. • Up to $460M annually in additional benefits for Arizona electric cooperative members. • $3.6B in grid upgrades funded by SpaceX at no cost to cooperative members. • 24 GWh of battery storage to improve grid stability and reliability. • Additional solar energy to reduce strain on the local grid. • Minimal water usage, with no new wells and zero ongoing industrial water consumption projected. • Aquifer and wildlife protection, including conservation initiatives. • Reduced noise and light pollution through noise mitigation and dark-sky protections. • Support for local schools, infrastructure, businesses, and essential services.

SpaceX has just officially announced plans to invest more than $74 billion to build two massive AI supercomputing facilities in Texas and Arizona. • $24 billion facility near Starbase, Texas • $50 billion campus in Cochise County, Arizona • More than 10,000 construction jobs • Over 1,500 permanent jobs • $220 million investment in Brownsville water infrastructure The facilities will train advanced AI systems and help develop technologies for future space-based computing.

@IterIntellectus Actually, we’re aiming for 1TW/year from Earth, rising to over 1PW/year from the Moon. That’s why I say that if we achieve this outcome, SpaceX will obviously be worth more than Earth, because space is so staggeringly enormous!

SpaceX's Starlink is getting significantly faster across the U.S., while also attracting more customers from traditional DSL, cable, and fixed wireless providers, according to a new Ookla report. Highlights: • Starlink urban users are also growing faster than rural users. • Median upload speeds surged 42% year-over-year, from 14.63 Mbps in 1H 2025 to 20.73 Mbps in 1H 2026, and improved in all 50 states and D.C., with gains ranging from 25% to 70%. • The number of Starlink Speedtest users testing in urban areas grew at more than twice the rate of rural users from 1H 2025 to 1H 2026. Urban users grew faster than rural users in every state but Alaska and Hawaii. • Starlink latency improved in nearly every state. Median multi-server latency improved year-over-year in 49 states and Washington, D.C. SpaceX's next-gen Starlink V3 sats will help improve speeds and latency significantly. Full report:

Tesla FSD Supervised (now named Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe) has officially been approved in Finland, marking the 11th European country. Countries in Europe that have approved it so far: • Belgium • Netherlands • Denmark • Lithuania • Finland • Estonia • Slovenia • Czechia • Croatia • Slovakia • Latvia

Here's my 16" OLED MacBook Pro review after using it for the last few days: • The OLED display is the best display I've ever seen on any consumer phone, TV or laptop. It's much brighter than my previous M1 Max Mini LED MacBook Pro Display. I've always been an insane person who likes to have the screen brightness at max output, but this is the first time where I feel like I don’t want to do that because its so bright. While a lot of people focus on peak HDR brightness (this can hit 2,000 nits), I'm more appreciative of the 67% higher sustained SDR brightness, because that's what you're using most to the time. My M1 got 600 nits sustained. The OLED gets 1,000. • The speakers are noticeably better. The 50% deeper bass is great, but it's really the tweeters that sound much better. The clarity is improved, and they sound less tin like. The sound stage also feels wider. • The 15% lighter weight is noticeable, very noticeable. My laptop no longer feels like a tank lol. This will be especially nice when traveling. • Space Black is really just dark gray. Can we get an actual black laptop? • While I’m not using the touchscreen a lot, I find myself using it more than I thought I would. It’s one of those things that’s nice to have when you need it, but you likely won’t need it much. • I like that the glowing Apple logo is back, but can we get some stats on how much battery it uses? And why is this a feature that we can’t easily turn off in settings? I know it can be done, but it requires too many complicated steps. • The M5 Max chip is awesome. Way better than my previous 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro that I’m upgrading from. But it’s kind of a bummer that this new OLED MacBook Pro uses the same chips that came out early this year. M7 Pro and M7 Max are rumored to be added in late 2027, which should be a huge leap. • I love the Dynamic Island. Much better than the notch because it’s actually useful. I find myself controlling media from it quite frequently. • The OLED one has a curved display on the bottom vs squared off for the previous MacBook Pro, and this seems minor, but it does give the whole display a softer, more uniform look. • Lastly, the lid opening notch’s pointy edges are way too sharp. They’re so sharp that it almost hurts to rest my thumbs there. Apple should round those off a bit so they’re smoother. The OLED display and lighter weight alone are worth the extra $400 vs the Mini-LED MacBook Pro in my opinion. Fantastic laptop.

Help me win a Cybertruck 👀 SpaceX is running an employee contest: refer new Starlink customers, win a Cybertruck. As a Starlink customer and employee, I’ll answer any questions y’all have about it. If you've been thinking about Starlink, new US customers get $100 cash or service credit with my link:

Tesla's Controller-Hardware-In-the-Loop (CHIL) is key to bringing Megapack sites online faster CHIL allows us to simulate the entire site in real time before it’s connected to the grid. We can see how the site will respond to faults, frequency changes or if a tree were to fall on a power line. CHIL validated 444 grid-forming Megapacks at Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub before grid connection, delivering 600 MW / 1.6 GWh of storage months ahead of schedule

Tesla has just officially surpassed Waymo in the total number of robotaxis registered to date in Texas for the first time. • Tesla: 1,302 • Waymo: 1,297 Tesla just added another 20 Model Ys.

Tesla is holding an event to celebrate the opening of their new Tesla Semi Laredo, Texas service center, the first of its kind in Texas. "Witness the growth of our Semi network with a site tour, experience Semi on a ride-along and learn more about Service from our team." h/t @gheeunit, more info:

Starlink Mini 2 will initially cost $999, and comes with one year of Roam Unlimited included (which typically costs between $1,500-$2,100/year). You also get international travel for up to 30 days at a time. Deliveries begin next month (December) in the U.S.

SpaceX has just announced that it has signed a major deal with SINGULUS to manufacture advanced, high-efficiency solar cells for its Starmind satellites at its facility in Bastrop, Texas. The first production line is expected to be delivered in the first half of 2027, with plans to scale to more than 100 GW of solar cell production equipment. “We have signed a supply contract with SpaceX for a turnkey production line for the manufacture of heterojunction solar cells.” The agreement is part of a broader strategic partnership that could include multiple additional production lines as SpaceX rapidly expands its satellite manufacturing capabilities.
