    This is exactly the kind of visibility we need for our leaders. Unfortunately, these days many people are so jaded about them that we accept any malfeasance to be business as usual.

    It's the undisclosed trades hidden behind shell companies and family connections that we should all be scrutinizing.

    Open-source repo + public source disclosures + reproducible pipeline already puts this above 90% of “AI insight” products.

    What does imaginary portfolio mean? It's not clear whether you're claiming these numbers are real or imaginary.

    useful data. thanks for putting it together. what's some of your data source?

    Cool. It looks like you're packaging the data as json files in the repo. Would be neat to see the pipeline that collects it.

      The data pipelines need some more work to be OS ready, but it's on my list.

    Remind me to come check this tracker after the SpaceXAI IPO.

      Is there going to be any accountability to the people at NASDAQ who made this decision? Surely the big investors not on the inside of SpaceX must be mad about these shenanigans? Or is it all an insider's club, where each party is hoping for their own turn to make a big gift?

      On that topic: this is both entertaining and scary, especially the bit that says they fast-tracked into the NASDAQ 100 so whether you like it or not you have to buy into Elon Musk's financial house of cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHD8BDFYyGI

        Naive question but you could move all your stuff out of NASDAQ before the IPO right? The downside is that you'd have to keep it out of NASDAQ until SPCX is finished cratering it?

        There's a section in this article that offers some slightly different views on the IPO: https://rubbishtalk.com/world/dow-50k-2t-ipo-and-the-iran-de...

        It make it more solidly clear how this really is an IPO for all 3 orgs: SpaceX, X, and xAI which helped me understand more of the video.

        > The Launch segment posted $4.1 billion in revenue but a $657 million operating loss, driven by roughly $3 billion in Starship R&D — a deliberate strategic bet, not a distressed business.

        All in all it reflects a ton of what the youtube video says though (I haven't finished the video though). It adds some color.

    I wish it were realtime. We could all be quazillionnaires.

      I wish congress members, staffers and 2nd level family all had to pre-announce buy/sale orders by 1 business day.

      • Laurel1234 7 hours ago ago

        It's crazy they don't need to, honestly.

      • exabrial 7 hours ago ago

        precisely!

    Can you make sure cmd+click works correctly

  • zitoshi 2 days ago ago

    Trumps not holding Micron?

    • hubraumhugo a day ago ago

      At least it's not disclosed in any of his 278-T transactions (1,391 trades, which is not the full picture)
