Iran "Deal" Costs US $300B+, Energy Prices & Weapons Stockpile
The US Iran memorandum is worth $300B+, and nothing in it is what it appears to be. The Strait of Hormuz is being "reopened" while Iran charges tolls, mines are still in the water, and there's no progress on nuclear talks. Israel isn't a party to any of this, energy prices are sky high, and the Pentagon needs 3+ years and US automakers' help to restock missiles after the US blew through $113B on the war. Does any of this actually hold?

23:05||Ep. 187SpaceX prices its IPO Friday at $135 per share. OpenAI just filed confidentially to go public, and its numbers are weaker than Anthropic's by almost every measure.

20:17||Ep. 185Morningstar just cut SpaceX's valuation nearly in half. SpaceX & Elon Musk are undaunted, forcing a fixed price for shares instead of acknowledging real investor demand, or the lack thereof.
