Elon Musk's #SpaceX has confidentially filed for a #US #IPO, setting the stage for what could become the largest #StockMarket listing on record.
A public listing at a potential valuation of >$1.75 trillion would signal that #SpaceExploration has moved from a speculative venture to a ‌mainstream #investment. SpaceX's growth has been driven by its reusable rockets & the #Starlink satellite internet network.

The #GPU or graphics processing unit will be part of #Nvidia's latest generation #Blackwell-architecture #AI processors & is expected to be priced between $6,500 & $8,000, well below the $10,000-$12,000 the #H20 sold for, acc/to 2 of the sources.
The lower price reflects its weaker specifications & simpler manufacturing requirements.
It will be based on Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D, a server-class graphics processor & will use conventional GDDR7 memory instead of more advanced high bandwidth memory.

In his post taking aim at #Canada, #Trump again cited a figure he framed as a “subsidy” the #UnitedStates gives its neighbor. The number he gave, $200 billion, appears to be a reference to the US’ #TradeDeficit with Canada. But that is vastly inflated: Last year, the #US had a $63.3 billion trade deficit with Canada, according to US official data.

A US #Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet has been “lost” at sea after it fell overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier while it was being towed on board, the Navy said in a statement on Monday.
A US official said initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a “hard turn” [seriously? an aircraft carrier?] to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.

Ensign [#DOJ] now points to paragraph 9 of the declaration by a govt official, which it submitted earlier today, regarding what would happen if #AbregoGarcia presented at a point of entry. [see above] The declaration said he'd be removed to 3rd country or back to El Salvador after rescinding the withholding of removal...
