NASA has announced that Elon Musk's SpaceX company has been selected to develop the U.S. orbit eliminator (U.S.Deorbit Vehicle).

Musk, who has been virtually cut off from JPMorgan since 2016, showed up at JPMorgan's inaugural tech conference in March of this year.

On January 13, 2023 local time, the space exploration company SpaceX posted a video of the company's annual conference on the social platform X。In his speech, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reviewed the progress and achievements of 2023 and revealed 2024 and long-term plans。Musk revealed that SpaceX plans 144 launches in 2024, maintaining its annual growth rate of 50%。Also, "colonizing Mars" has been Musk's goal, "I'm thinking, what will it be like in eight years?？"If we're lucky, maybe we'll send humans to Mars in eight years."。"

Musk's rocket company SpaceX reportedly plans to launch a takeover bid next month at a deal price corresponding to a valuation of about $150 billion, roughly in line with the price specified in the tender offer in July this year。

Indonesia's Mitratel seeks local partners to expand into Southeast Asia, with sources saying the company is eyeing Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines。

I don't know if you've found that no matter what the problem, Musk can always be a step faster, not as smart as an earthman.。In fact, he has repeatedly stated on public platforms that he is actually an "alien."。Musk first called himself an alien in 2021, when Indian entrepreneur Shah had asked Musk on Twitter to learn how he was running multiple companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars at the same time。I thought it was a normal business lesson, but Musk replied, "I'm actually an alien.。At first, everyone took Musk's "self-destruct" as a joke to see, did not expect in 2022 Musk once again called himself an "alien trying to return to his home planet," and this time everyone's reaction is obviously different, because at this time he has set up SpaceX company, actually has the confidence to take humans away from the earth.。If Musk and aliens really have nothing to do, why put so many profitable industries he did not engage in, but to build a difficult comparable to the spacecraft?？Netizens thought about it, and then thought that Musk from the beginning of the business has been proposing the so-called earth transformation plan, to replace all polluting fuels with clean energy, which is not like an entrepreneur should think of things.。In addition, the artificial intelligence company "xAI" he founded this year is also very different from his peers. When others are looking for ways to improve productivity, the purpose of "xAI" is to "understand the nature of the universe," which always sounds strange.。At present, a considerable number of people believe that Musk is not from Earth, but from Mars。Why Mars?？There are two reasons: first, Musk set SpaceX's goal of colonizing Mars very early, and second, Mars is, to some extent, one of the most likely planets to produce aliens.。

On October 6, local time, the first pair of prototype satellites of Amazon's satellite Internet project, Project Kuiper, was launched in Florida, the first step before the company put thousands of satellites into orbit, sent Internet services around the world and competed with SpaceX's Star Chain.。

At a time when everyone is being swiped by Huawei's mate 60 satellite call function, Apple's satellite communication system is also making big moves.。As we all know, Apple was the first to introduce satellite communication in the iPhone 14 series, which went on sale last year.。When Apple launched the technology, its satellite partner was the US-based Globalstar.。By operating a group of low-orbit satellites, the system provides its users with global communication coverage, which can transmit communications to remote areas, sea, aviation and other places where traditional ground networks are not available。Apple said users of the iPhone 14 series can use satellite emergency call technology for free for two years, but has not yet offered a possible final fee.。In order to retain Apple as a big customer, Global Star has spent a lot of money.。The company is committed to allocating 85% of its current and future network capacity to Apple's iPhone, and will provide all maintenance staff and the necessary technical support to ensure that the iPhone's satellite communication features maintain at least the minimum quality and coverage standards, which requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.。Perhaps because the huge workload is making it difficult for Global Star, the company is also turning to outside partnerships。Recently, according to disclosure documents, Global Star is seeking cooperation from Musk's SpaceX company, which will pay the latter $64 million to launch satellites between 2023 and 2025 and further expand the SOS satellite service capabilities of Apple's iPhone series.。In other words, in the future, iPhone phones can send satellite information through Musk's SpaceX and enjoy SpaceX's satellite communication services。It is worth noting that this is also the first time Cook and Musk have worked together.。I do not know in the upcoming iPhone 15, will be the first to achieve this "dream linkage"？

SpaceX, a rocket company known for burning money to advance technological breakthroughs, turned a profit earlier this year。According to internal documents, SpaceX generated $1.5 billion in revenue and $55 million in net profit in the first quarter of this year.。The company's rapid revenue growth over the past two years is key to profitability.。In 2021 and 2022, the company's total expenses were $3.3 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively.。

Ten years on, the rocket carrying Elon Musk's "Mars Dream" has finally been announced for launch today。
