I’m Tired. But We Need to Talk About the Vote at 4pm on Elon's Future, Data Centers in Space, NASA, China Winning on AI, and the Driverless Tesla that Stopped Me at Sam’s Club

This one is slower and more reflective. Today’s vote on Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar pay package is about more than compensation — it’s about control, power, and who gets to shape the future of autonomy and labor. I walk through how The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal each frame the stakes, and then we zoom out: the NASA nomination that quietly re-emerged, the Blackwell chip fight, and the real possibility that China is now positioned to win the AI race. And yes — I tell the story of the driverless Tesla I saw at Sam’s Club. It’s a lot. So we’re taking our time today.
