SpaceX has a big IPO coming up, but the next step might be a merger of SpaceX and Tesla. And if so, it could be a backdoor to triggering Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar pay package automatically, without having to meet any of the operational milestones, thus diluting everyone’s shares without delivering on the promises that were made.

During a global moment where oil prices are spiking tremendously, a movement to increase gas taxes is brewing in Australia. And if it does succeed, it could provide a template that could help other countries not only fund their own prosperity, but reduce the tremendous damage done by fossil fuels.
