GG Kluisz 🎉 | While 🇮🇳Omspace Rocket raised $3M to deliver payloads of ~350 kg to altitudes of 800 km — this needs to improve, faster.
OYO 😭; apparently, one needs CCPA's instructions to delist 'hotels that don't exist.'
Stargate was never about data centres, but optics & leverage: >Sam needed elite access in Washington >Trump needed a "deal" & a photo op >Trump(knew the Sam-Elon feud) entertained Sam to keep Musk on the defensive Else, Sam disagrees with SoftBank on location & terms, but signs…

The accompanying barrage of disillusioned, worn-out questions will follow. 💬 section is ripe; one of the gems: *So we pay for 100% petrol but get only 80%😭?"
India hits 20% ethanol blending in petrol five years ahead of target. From just 1.5% in 2014 to 20% in 2025, this clean energy leap has: >> Saved Rs 1.36 lakh crore in forex >> Paid Rs 1.18 lakh crore to farmers >> Cut 698 lakh tonnes of CO₂ emissions PM @narendramodi ji’s…
