“Yeah, there are these companies called neoclouds. They buy GPUs from NVIDIA and then rent it back out to the hyperscalers. Where do they get money for the GPUs? Excellent question. Turns out they get the money from NVIDIA themselves, along with a bunch of private credit lenders whose loans are backed by the GPU itself. Elon just said all of them might go to zero soon. Anyways, what are you doing later tonight?”

🚨 BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.
“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”
So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”
MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.

This isn't new. Doug Ford cancelled Ontario's Starlink contract in March 2025, during that year's tariff fight. Ontario also banned U.S. companies from bidding on provincial contracts at that time. It did not happen this week. broadbandbreakfast.com/ontario-wont-r… globalnews.ca/news/11067542/…

‼️ A bug bounty hunter says they rooted their 2025 Samsung TV with zero-days and found an AI model tracking what they watch and the ads they skip.
The TV also takes screenshots, categorises audio and can tap a soundbar's mic, they say.
Then OpenAI banned them for "Cyber Abuse".
i own a relatively new (2025) samsung tv.
i kept getting weirdly targeted ads.
i tried reversing the firmware but it was aes encrypted and no keys unless tear it apart and do uart/jtag magic.
zero days it is. root shell on new samsung TVs!

Did @spaceX forget their own Starlink TOS?
What do things on the USML covered by International Traffic in Arms Regulations do?
Paint petunias?
Buď teda Ukrajinci dokázali nějak hacknout systémy SpaceX a používat civilní antény Starlink za pohybu, nebo je Musk lže.
Takže:
1. Rusové od loňského roku načerno nakupovali Starlinky všude možně po světě, ty pak nasazovali na Ukrajině.
2. Problém začal řešit tehdejší ministr obrany Fedorov a jeho tým. Řešením byly bílé seznamy (whitelists), kdy pouze oficiálně registrované terminály mohly být zprovozněny nad území Ukrajiny (kontrolované Ukrajinu nebo okupované Ruskem).
3. Povolené civilní terminály fungují pouze ve stacionárním režimu nebo za velmi nízké rychlosti pohybu (do 90 km/h).
4. Registrovat terminály museli jak vojáci (přes Delta nebo Armija+), firmy a státní zaměstnanci přes portál Dia, civilisté a podnikatelé přes CNAP. Registrovalo se KIT číslo, UTID a číslo účtu.
5. Registrace byla spuštěna 5. února 2026.
A teď to podstatné (a zopakuji to znovu)
Ukrajinští vojáci pro terminály, které se využívají na mobilní cíle ve vysoké rychlosti (typické middle strike drony při zrychlení z rampy nebo třeba drony interceptory), používají službu Starshield.
To je služba, o které Musk říká, že ji kontroluje americká vláda (a všimněte si, že už nepíše, že ji vlastní). Jde o využití stejné konstelace satelitů Starlink, ale s lepším šifrováním, přístupy a tak dále.
Zde je důležité, že za tuto službu neplatí americká vláda, ale vláda německá skrze FMS (Foreign Military Sales, což je proces, přes který Amerika prodává své zbraně, například Patrioty). Ta platí tuto službu do půlky května příštího roku.
Co se omezila, je služba Starshield, tj. terminální na mobilních cílech. Nejde tu teď momentálně o stacionární Starlink, který funguje právě na principech těch bílých seznamů. Proto se Němci ozvali. Proto se Ukrajinci ozvali. Proto si Musk, Rubio, Trump a další přehazují zodpovědnost a matou společnost.
Důvodem není jen to, že v rámci americké společnosti nechtějí ztratit zbytky kreditu, ale taky to, že se vysílá vzkaz spojencům, kterým říkají, že pokud na postu amerického prezidenta bude člověk, který chce lízat ruskou/čínskou/severokorejskou či jakoukoli jinou podrážku, může mechanismus FMS s odůvodněním "národního zájmu" podělat.
A tenhle signál je mnohem horší, protože se Evropané (a vlastně kdokoli, kdo se u Američanů rozhodne nakupovat přes FMS, nebo jiný mechanismus, přes který není možné domáhat se právní ochrany u soudu/arbitráže) budou naprosto legitimně ptát, co všechno v sobě obsahuje kill switch a jak moc jsme schopní nahrazovat americké know how tím svým?
Proto Musk bulí, když Evropané mluví o předělovaní frekvencí pouze pro evropské společnosti. Proto američtí technologičtí giganti jsou nervózní. A proto budou mít problém i americké zbrojovky, které mají díky válce v Evropě žně (nákupy z Evropy jsou největší za desítky let a po 20 letech jsme největšími odběrateli amerických zbraní).
Trump si neuvědomuje, jak velký geopolitický průšvih za sebou zanechá, pro nějakou zdánlivou výhodu, kterou mu momentálně Putin nabízí. Ať už to 300 000 tun nafty, stavba infrastruktury ruskými společnosti pro Aljašku, nebo nějaké shady kontakty, který má Witkoff a Kushner s Dmitrijevem.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 A SANCTIONED RUSSIAN GIANT, TRUMP'S INNER CIRCLE AND A $25 BILLION ALASKA DEAL
Imagine running an American energy company, believing you're working with someone close to Donald Trump's family, only to discover that a sanctioned Russian energy giant is allegedly involved in the project.
That is the controversy surrounding Polar Train LNG, a proposed $25 billion energy development in Alaska.
Joel Riddle, the company's CEO, reportedly resigned after discovering the involvement of Novatek, a Russian natural gas producer under U.S. sanctions. Riddle had believed he was working with Gentry Beach, a longtime friend of Donald Trump Jr.
The story becomes even more politically sensitive when the negotiations reach Moscow.
According to accounts of the discussions, the Alaska project came up during talks involving Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Vladimir Putin. The White House acknowledged that the proposal had been discussed, although it characterized the conversation as brief.
Brief or not, the questions are substantial.
What exactly was Novatek's role? Who stood to profit from the project? Were American sanctions being respected? And how much did politically connected intermediaries know about the Russian company's involvement?
Alaska's energy resources represent enormous economic and strategic value. A project of this scale could influence American energy exports, infrastructure investment and commercial relationships for decades.
Russia provides plenty of examples of what happens when politically connected interests capture the wealth generated by natural resources. Some of its richest resource-producing regions have struggled to translate that wealth into broad prosperity, while profits and political power remain concentrated elsewhere.
There is also an uncomfortable diplomatic question.
The Trump administration has been pressuring Ukraine to accept a settlement while pursuing renewed engagement with Moscow. The reported Alaska discussions do not establish that American policy toward Ukraine was influenced by private commercial interests, and allegations of corruption require evidence beyond political connections.
But that makes transparency more important, not less.
When a sanctioned Russian energy company becomes linked to a $25 billion American project involving people with access to the president's circle, the public deserves to know who was negotiating, who would have benefited and whether any conflicts of interest existed.
The White House may describe the conversation as brief. The financial stakes were anything but.
Muskin selitys on muuttunut olennaisesti: ensin hän korosti Yhdysvaltain hallinnon vastuuta, nyt hän perustelee SpaceX:n tekemää rajoitusta Ukrainan väitetyllä sopimusrikkomuksella. Hän kuitenkin erottaa edelleen Starlinkin ja Starshieldin toisistaan.
Uusi selitys ei vastaa ratkaisevaan kysymykseen: jos ongelma oli kaupallisen Starlinkin luvaton käyttö, miksi rajoitus osui myös hyväksyttyihin Starshield-terminaaleihin ja Ukrainan torjuntadrooneihin?
Jos katsotaan lehtiartikkeleita, niin viime kesänä Venäjän joukot valittivat suuresti, kun heidän luvattomasti käyttämänsä starlink terminaalit lakkasivat toimimasta. Ukrainan terminaalit jotka olivat rekisteröity jatkoivat toimintaa. Eli silloin ainakin Venäjän armeija käytti luvattomasti starlinkkiä.

Ach jetzt versteh´ ich, warum Elon heute wegen den Starlink/Starshield Limitierungen in UA so rumeiert. - Er hatte heute Morgen Post vom US Congress mit ein paar unangenehmen Fragen im Briefkasten. Gleichzeitig will er wohl Trump paar Tage vor der Wahl nicht unter den Bus werfen.

Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
