I have been watching on The Contrarians but they just finished for the night. DOJ asked for a 12 hour extension due to earlier thunder storms. Supposed to be done by early morning, they say.

In seriousness, people keep saying this happened today, but he’s owned the same amount of SpaceX for a long time. It’s just that it became easier to estimate the value of his stake today. He was a trillionaire last month too.

This is great. I’ve always been somewhat skeptical of hydrogen since, to date, it has basically been a battery technology not a true energy source. But this is different. Apparently there are around 2x the recoverable reserves of hydrogen as there are of nat gas. I had no idea!

Glad everyone is OK.

Out for a walk around a local Wildlife Trust area with ponds and river and there were loads of ox eye daisy, flocks and campion. And lovely water lilies [image: 1781236077354-20260607_120015-resized.jpg] Meanwhile my sisters garden is in full bloom with yellow scabious [image: 1781236426195-20260609_130953.jpg] A pure white peony [image: 1781236447723-20260609_130813-resized.jpg] And rampant fragrant rose with clematis [image: 1781236523498-20260609_130719.jpg]

Oh, it just occurred to me that maximum annual contribution and market volatility are not related to each other. Duh. I had to leave the USAA page alone and do something else. It's almost sunset. It's finally cooled off again. I might return to it tonight. I might wait until tomorrow.
