By fusing SpaceX and xAI—which acquired X last year—Elon Musk tightens his grip over technologies that shape national security, social media, and artificial intelligence.

In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.

This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.

    SpaceX wrote in its July permit application — under the header Specific Testing Requirements — Table 2 for Outfall: 001 — that its mercury concentration at one outfall location was 113 micrograms per liter. Water quality criteria in the state calls for levels no higher than 2.1 micrograms per liter for acute aquatic toxicity and much lower levels for human health

    Cool, you can drink the mercury water, but I’ll pass thanks.
