Musk: Go directly to Mars instead of the Moon

Musk stated in a tweet, "We're going to go to Mars directly, not the Moon. The Moon will distract from Mars. Orbital payload mass is the key metric, not the destination planet. Building a self-sustaining city on Mars requires a cargo capacity of at least 100 metric tons per year."

  • Warren Plans to Chair Senate Banking Committee, Aims for Major Investigations into Wall Street, Tech Giants, and Trump Family Businesses

    On November 9, sources revealed that U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is preparing to take over the Senate Banking Committee next year, with plans to launch a broad legislative and oversight agenda targeting large financial institutions on Wall Street, tech giants, cryptocurrency businesses linked to the Trump family, and other major corporations. Warren intends to utilize the committee's hearing and investigative powers to scrutinize corporate behavior and potential financial risks, with a focus on the rapidly expanding private credit market, AI bubble risks, and regulatory oversight of prediction markets. In terms of legislation, Warren plans to advocate for credit card interest rate caps, restrictions on corporate profiteering, and to collaborate with Tim Scott, the incoming Republican ranking member of the Banking Committee, to advance a bipartisan housing bill. Her policy agenda will also address issues related to the cost of living, including food prices, insurance costs, private equity, consumer debt, and student loans. Warren hopes to leverage the political influence gained from the Democratic midterm election victories to push for more aggressive corporate regulation and economic populism policies before the 2028 presidential election, although it remains uncertain whether these proposals will gain support from moderates within the party.
