SpaceX IPO and Elon saying ‘Saving for retirement will be irrelevant in the future’. Connected?

Just occurred to me- are these two events related? Earlier this year, Elon Musk was reported saying “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement in 10 or 20 years,” on the Moonshots with Peter Diamandis podcast in January. “It won’t matter. This was in the context of some ‘AI revolution that would provide basic needs to Americans’. However, it’s coupled with a timely IPO that has a high chance of determining our retirement savings anyways.. Five months after that statement, SpaceX is

Mitsubishi Electric - Thoughts?

What are people's thoughts on Mitsubishi (either electric, heavy or chemicals) as an investment? Mitsubishi Electric has experienced a massive 90% run up this year but I'm wondering if there's still quite a lot of room for growth - as it seems to serve almost all of the emerging high-growth industries. For example, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries supplies reactor-related systems, steam turbines and plant infrastructure for nuclear energy, as well as hydrogen production systems, turbines, and solid o

Chinese bus driver charged in crash that killed 5 in Virginia, including family of 4

A family of four from Massachusetts were killed when a bus crashed into multiple vehicles in Virginia as they were travelling to a wedding. The family wedding will go forward on Sunday in South Carolina but it also will be a time to mourn the loss of Dmitri and Ecaterina Doncev and their two children, Emily and Mark, a relative said Saturday. “A son, a father – the whole family – everyone that has been dear to us,” Carolina Bublik said. The Doncevs were killed when a coach caused a...

When does it actually end?

Honestly, is it just me or have we become completely jaded when it comes to prices? Everything is becoming more expensive. Food, electricity, rent, insurance, gas, you are asked to pay at every corner. And now I’m just supposed to shell out €150 for a damn DFB jersey? And the best thing: If you want to have a player name and a number on it, you're directly at €172. For a jersey. A fan item. No high-tech device, no winter jacket, no tailored suit. I understand yes, d

How to avoid investing in Elon Musk Companies.

If I am investing in vtivx and vtsax, how can I avoid being involved with elon's space x or even tesla for that matter? I feel like he is setting up a pump and dump for passive investors with creative accounting. What other options do I have beyond constructing my own index by buying 1000s of stocks myself, which would be insane? submitted by /u/Responsible_Ad4791 [link] [comments]

Why is there usually no interest on checking accounts?

The money is available at any time and you can use your entire balance without notice, regardless of whether it is in a current account or a current account. So what is the reason why you usually don't receive any interest on a checking account? What is different here from the banks’ perspective? Because daily money accounts are perhaps less subject to fluctuations? Are banks perhaps also taking advantage of the laziness of their customers who park (almost) everything in their current account? submitted by /u/Conscious_Year_670

Iran says does not trust US as Trump toughens terms

Iran’s chief negotiator warned on Sunday the United States was not to be trusted, saying Tehran would not agree to any deal with Washington unless it fully secured Iranian rights. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf’s remarks came as reports emerged that US President Donald Trump had sent a tougher peace proposal back to Iran, and underlined the rift that the parties still need to close. Any tweaks to the draft could further delay an agreement to formally end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of...

Hi all, background on me: I’m currently 22 years old, live at home, own 2 business that provide me income. A barbershop and a marketing agency. I have £23K personal liquid.

Britain’s Nuclear Renaissance Faces Mounting Cost Pressures

The United Kingdom is focused on diversifying its energy mix away from fossil fuels to boost energy security and support decarbonisation aims. This includes expanding its nuclear power capacity with the development of two large-scale nuclear plants - Sizewell C and Hinkley Point C, as well as developing small modular reactors (SMR). However, its nuclear ambitions have not quite gone to plan, following years of delays and rising construction costs. Sizewell C in Suffolk, eastern England, received

Depot at FFB Bank via advisor with Dimensional/Factor portfolio via advisor

Hi everyone, I was talking to a friend about her depot. She completed this through a fee-based advisor at FFB Bank. I had ChatGPT evaluate the whole thing. According to this, it is a factor/evidence-based advisor portfolio, because it contains Dimensional funds (e.g. the "Global Core Equity Fund EUR Acc, WKN A0RMKV). A total of 5 of these funds are included. There is currently EUR 9,000 in the portfolio (it has not been running for very long). First of all, the positive: - it is not a typical one

French museum reports theft of banana from Italian artist’s multimillion-dollar work

A museum in eastern France on Sunday reported to police the theft of a banana that forms a core part of a multimillion-dollar artwork by Italian visual artist Maurizio Cattelan. The missing fruit – which was taped to a wall to form the provocative work by Cattelan called “Comedian” – was noticed by a guard on Saturday to have gone missing. An iteration of the artwork was bought by Chinese-born cryptocurrency founder Justin Sun in 2024. He forked out US$6.2 million for the work, then days later..

Pashinyan on course for landslide victory and pro-West mandate in Armenia election, new poll shows

SS: In another blow to russian global influence it appears that despite recent threats from Moscow, Armenia appears set to continue its westwards shift. This follows a general sense of frustration in Russia's refusal to support its CSTO partner nation when it came to blows with neighbouring Azerbaijian. The latest survey ahead of Armenia’s decisive elections on 7 June has projected that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party could win nearly 65% of decided voters. submitted by /u/

Italy bans Kanye West concert over security concerns

A concert by the US rapper Kanye West, who was supposed to perform on July 18 in Reggio Emilia in northern Italy, has been banned on public safety grounds, the authorities said. The prefect of the province, Salvatore Angieri, said the decision was made following requests from bodies including the local Jewish community. They had “expressed reservations” about the appearance of the rapper as part of the Pulse of Gaia Festival, the statement released on Friday evening said. Another concert by the.

How to deal with your first "I wish I dint sell" after stock exploded

Pretty gutted. Hodl'd RSU stocks for 4-5 years with the stock bouncing between 60 and 120 over that period. 7 weeks after I sold about 90% of my stock for a "new" family car (2025 model), the stock exploded to a peak of 190 where I sold for about 102. Missed out on about 22k, which isent live changing but it still feels absolutely terrible. To make matters worse, when I look on reddit for similair stories, I just see posts of people becoming milionaires from the recent stock surge or stories of

Israeli army captures strategic Crusader-built castle in Lebanon

Israeli troops have captured a strategic mountain topped with a Crusader-built castle in southern Lebanon in the deepest incursion into the country in more than a quarter-century, the military said on Sunday. The taking of Beaufort Castle, near the city of Nabatiyeh, followed days of air strikes and intense fighting in nearby villages between Israeli troops and Hezbollah militants. The capture marked a major Israeli advance in the latest Israel-Hezbollah war, which began on March 2, when...

Spent Nuclear Fuel Could Be America's Answer to Russia's Uranium Grip

Nuclear fuel is becoming a geopolitical battleground as the world increasingly turns to nuclear energy to contend with skyrocketing energy demand projections. The combination of an oil-based energy crisis emanating out of the Strait of Hormuz, the enormous and ballooning energy needs of artificial intelligence, and the urgent imperative of decarbonization is garnering a renewed interest in nuclear energy as a carbon-free, efficient, and round-the-clock power source. Moreover, nuclear energy can
