Prediction text
Elon's combined empire (SpaceX/xAI/Tesla/Optimus/Terrafab/orbital DCs) will be a $100T company | No if he pulled if he pulls this off that's easily 100 trillion.
Watch events: SpaceX IPO roadshow (Jun 2026); Starship V3 orbital test; Starlink V3 launch cadence; Tesla Q2 2026 earnings; Optimus Fremont line start; unit cost disclosure; Top market cap milestones: $10T single stock; $20T; $50T; Starcloud Blackwell satellite (Oct 2026); Google Project Suncatcher demo satellite; FCC DC filings
Verbatim quote
No if he pulled if he pulls this off that's easily 100 trillion.

Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Dave Blundin is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
