Times of India | Who is Kevin Warsh, the former banker set to lead US Federal Reserve? AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Kevin Warsh, a longtime Republican economic adviser and former Federal Reserve governor, has been confirmed as the next chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve after a closely contested Senate vote (54‑45), succeeding Jerome Powell at President Donald Trump’s request. Warsh, who earned a reputation as an inflation hawk but has recently aligned with Trump’s view that AI‑driven productivity can sustain growth without reigniting inflation, will inherit a central bank facing persistent price pressures above its 2 % target and higher energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. Though he promises to keep the Fed independent despite political pressure, internal debate continues over whether rates should stay high to curb inflation or be cut to support the economy. Warsh’s resume includes investment banking at Morgan Stanley, service as an economic aide to President George W. Bush, the youngest Fed governor (2006‑2011), and current work at Stanford’s Hoover Institution; he is also noted for his ties to billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller and his marriage to Jane Lauder.

Observer | 16 Business Leaders to Join Trump on High-Stakes China Trip, With Notable Absences by Rachel Curry AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump is set to travel to Beijing for a two‑day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, accompanied by a delegation of 16 top U.S. executives from technology, finance and manufacturing, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and CEOs of Qualcomm, Micron, Boeing, Goldman Sachs and others. The visit comes amid heightened U.S.–China tensions over trade, AI, semiconductor exports, Taiwan, fentanyl trafficking and the broader geopolitical fallout of the Iran war, and signals the growing role of corporate America in diplomatic negotiations as firms seek to secure supply‑chain stability and market access. Notable absences were Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, while the delegation is expected to discuss potential new “boards of investment” and “boards of trade” and address specific corporate interests such as Tesla’s approval for its full‑self‑driving technology and Boeing’s pursuit of a major Chinese aircraft order.

BBC News | Elon Musk's latest Tesla pay valued at $158bn - but he can't pocket it AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk’s 2025 Tesla compensation filing values a potential pay package at $158 billion, but none of it will be paid out unless he hits a series of exceptionally tough milestones, such as boosting Tesla’s market value to $8.5 trillion, delivering 20 million vehicles, securing 10 million Full Self‑Driving subscriptions, launching one million robotaxi units, and generating up to $400 billion in core profit; meeting these goals would grant him a stock grant worth about $1 trillion. Analysts say the targets are far from being met, making the massive payout largely theoretical for now, while Musk remains the world’s richest person and continues to focus on his other ventures, including SpaceX’s upcoming IPO and his AI company xAI.

qwant news | Mark Zuckerberg's Meta to power AI data centres from space in 'transformative' move AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta is partnering with Overview Energy to launch 1,000 solar‑panel‑equipped satellites that will collect sunlight in space and beam the converted energy back to Earth as low‑intensity infrared, providing up to one gigawatt—enough to power roughly 750,000 homes—for its AI data centres. The plan, announced by Meta’s Vice President of Energy Nat Sahlstrom, aims to supply clean, reliable power without stressing U.S. electricity grids, with a demonstration satellite slated for launch in 2028 and commercial power generation beginning around 2030. Similar space‑solar initiatives are also being pursued by SpaceX, Blue Origin and Google.

A great interview with @sundogplanets@mastodon.social here: https://thenarwhal.ca/space-junk-falling-50th-parallel/ - very good reporting! everything that’s in low Earth orbit, which is most of the satellites — including all of the 10,000-plus Starlink satellites — at the end of their life, they get burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, because it’s convenient. And so far, it looks like Starlink is actually doing a pretty good job of burning up. Funny, but painfully so. And, for scale: There was a period of time, about six months, where Starlink burned up 500 satellites. That’s around three per day. In that time period, they exceeded the natural infall rate from meteorites by at least twice as much — so, adding at least twice as much aluminium as what naturally comes into the atmosphere every day for six months And it mentions Fedi's favourite Senator @Paulatics@mstdn.ca and the inquiry she launched https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/689271/37 Thanks for this great reporting, @thenarwhal@mstdn.ca ! #space #spaceJunk #spaceX #satellites #CDNPoli

Good morning all. 🫸☕☕ And that's just the beginning. Once #SpaceX has fully deployed its #Starlink constellation and placed the planned 1 million satellites in low Earth orbit, the nights will be so bright from secondary reflections that we'll only be able to show our children constellations in books. What a bright future! cc: @sundogplanets@mastodon.social via @apod@reentry.codl.fr https://reentry.codl.fr/@apod/statuses/01KQ6K0BST72RQDF70WRPQERFN

The logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement. If Musk gets his way, the echo chamber of tomorrow will reach to space and back.

SpaceX's potential $60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor is making headlines, but a former CFO raises serious questions. Beyond the sticker price, the integration of general-purpose AI into safety-critical aerospace software brings risks like AI hallucinations in flight control and massive technical debt. Is SpaceX buying innovation or just expensive hype? https://www.tpp.blog/26hwfhb #AI #spacex #cursor 🤖 This post was AI-generated.

It's funny how those ultra-long-term decisions always seem to benefit the Tech Bro oligarchs & billionaires and their increasing wealth today as well, allegedly, as the intended beneficiaries - the notional humungous swarms of human beings who will have colonised the Cosmos in the far future, but never we, the ordinary people, who are alive around us today. #USpol #UKpol #Trump #GOP #MAGA #Thiel #Musk #Palantir #SpaceX #TwitteX #EffectiveAltruism #EA https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/philip-ball-the-dangerous-myth-of-neutral-technology/?utm_campaign=968afe29-39e7-45b6-a2e0-e403e0d51196&utm_source=1234589

Salon.com | Maybe it’s time to give Elon Musk control of the sun by Troy Farah The world of finance is creaming its pants over the imminent public offering for SpaceX, Elon Musk‘s space-flight operation. It might be the largest such offering in history, according to Axios, which delivered the news under the headline “SpaceX’s monster IPO is unlike anything we’ve seen.” SpaceX is predicted to become the first company to debut on the stock market already valued at more than not just $1 trillion, which is in itself a record, but $2 trillion — instantly dwarfing the wealth of Walmart, Meta or ExxonMobil. In fact, if SpaceX’s pitch goes through, it would rank behind only five companies in the S&P 500 Index — Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Nvidia and Amazon. It will also, of course, cement Musk, who is already worth some $817 billion, as history’s first-ever trillionaire. A trillion is an inconceivably large number — for that matter, so is a billion, which is a thousand million, while a trillion is a thousand billion. Yes, that’s basic math, but it helps to spell it out, as our feeble primate brains can barely wrap our minds around a single billion dollars, which is roughly the amount of cash the U.S. is burning through  every day of the ongoing Iran war. So multiplying that figure a thousand-fold and giving all of it to one 54-year-old guy is truly the mental equivalent of [insert deflating balloon sound]. Trump’s war on the climate demands resistance Subscribe today to support Salon’s progressive journalism Wikipedia has lasted 25 years, and keeps getting better. So of course Elon wants to destroy it Buddhist monks vs. Trump’s fake “Board of Peace” Big Tech still dreams of mass surveillance — now people are pushing back Read more: https://www.salon.com/2026/04/04/maybe-its-time-to-give-elon-musk-control-of-the-sun/ #climatechange #elonmusk #spacex #starlink #trillionaire

Observer | Starcloud CEO Philip Johnston on Putting the First A.I. Data Center in Space by Tom Samiljan Starcloud-9293.jpg?quality=80&w=970" alt="Three men in black shirts posing for a photo" width="970" height="647" data-caption='Philip Johnston (middle) and his co-founders, Adi Oltean (right) and Ezra Feilden (left). Gregor Elgee'> In November, a 60-kilogram satellite the size of a small refrigerator called Starcloud-1 streaked into low Earth orbit aboard a SpaceX rocket carrying the first data-center-class GPU ever operated in space—an Nvidia H100 roughly 100 times more powerful than any prior orbital compute. Within weeks, Starcloud, the company making the satellite, announced it had trained a language model on the complete works of Shakespeare and had run Google’s Gemini from roughly 200 miles above Earth. “The spacecraft is performing better than we could have hoped for,” Philip Johnston, co-founder and CEO of Starcloud, told Observer. Johnston founded the Redmond, Wash. company in early 2024, backed by a conviction that has since attracted $200 million from investors, including Nvidia, In-Q-Tel, Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator: Rather than build better infrastructure on Earth to satiate A.I.’s runaway energy appetite, move the infrastructure off of Earth entirely. Today (March 30), the company announced it raised a $170 million in Series A funding at a $1.1 billion valuation, helping it reach unicorn status in just 17 months (and the quickest to do so in Y Combinator’s history). Johnston, 39, brings a distinctly financial pragmatism to the cosmos. Before pivoting to aerospace, Johnston served as an algorithmic trader at BNP Paribas, consulted for national space agencies at McKinsey and co-founded Opontia, an e-commerce aggregator that raised $46 million before being acquired. Starcloud-1 is the first data center in space Orbital data centers have a cooling problem Space data centers are gaining steam amid regulatory and political risks Read more: https://observer.com/2026/03/starcloud-ceo-philip-johnston-nvidia-space-data-center/ #datacenter #nvidia #space #spacex

🚀 Heads up, Connecticut! From Meteorologist Kevin Arnone: A SpaceX Falcon 9 is set to launch tonight at 7:34 PM, carrying another batch of Starlink satellites on a northeast trajectory. If all goes on time, the rocket’s bright exhaust plume should be visible from our area. ⏱ Look 4–8 minutes after launch 👀 Face the southeastern sky 🌤 Clear skies = best chance Launches can slip, so timing matters. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink #RocketLaunch #LookUp
