SpaceX and Tesla Inc. are progressing in their merger negotiations, setting the stage for a combination that could redefine the limits of global dealmaking.
By Ryan Gould, Siddharth Philip, and Dinesh Nair
November 12, 2026


Elon Musk’s two largest companies could announce what would be the biggest-ever deal as soon as December, according to people familiar with the matter. That aggressive timeline reflects Musk’s tendency to move quickly when it comes to corporate maneuvers.

The companies have also discussed a scenario in which an announcement slips into early 2027, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the discussions are private.

Their boards and advisers are hammering out the terms of the tie-up and governance structure of the combined entity, among other matters, the people said.
...

But both companies will have to grapple with obstacles before they can close a transaction, including how to ring-fence Tesla’s operations in China, according to the people.

National security sensitivities around SpaceX’s US government and defense contracts, and Tesla’s large, profitable China manufacturing footprint, loom as “key dynamics that are at odds with each other” when it comes to getting regulatory and shareholder approvals for a deal, JPMorgan analyst Rajat Gupta told clients in a research note last month.
...

The company has transformed in recent years from a leading rocket manufacturer and launch provider into a crucial supplier of AI infrastructure to companies including Anthropic PBC as well as a top provider of internet beamed down from space.

A "fling" with a spy who ran a racket circumventing US trade restrictions to the tune of $7.5B in chips. Then, at least two "flings" with subordinate employees under his direct supervision.

Kind of seems like LSU has played this perfectly. A loss for LSU is a win for LSU. And a "win" for LSU just means they continue on as they already were, free from any other issues.
Unfortunately, Luis is probably screwed as far as suiting up in P&G. The Federal Hearing is in six days.

LSU's argument for dismissal of the Federal Case is rock-solid as things stand now. LSU holds the case is moot because LSU has complied with every SEC rule, no matter how capricious or potentially contemptuous to the La Court.

That remains the case as long as LSU does not roster/play Luis.

Here is the bind:
If the court tomorrow issues a strong ruling for LSU ... roster him or face contempt, the Federal Case is no longer moot. The SEC will argue LSU will break SEC rules (even if it is d/t a court order). That ongoing case will effectively lock Luis out, even though in the end, I think the SEC loses.

If there is some lesser finding, but Luis is found eligible (the likely outcome) LSU will not roster Luis for the same reason. If the Federal judge dismisses the Birmingham case, and Luis then plays, the SEC will immediately refile its Federal case.

Huang had a relationship with a second employee, sources say
by Max A. Cherney, Krystal Hu, Alexandra Alper and Deepa Seetharaman
November 12, 2026


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had an intimate relationship with a second employee, according to two people familiar with the matter, Reuters has learned.

The revelation follows two other extramarital affairs that led to his resignation Thursday. The two women are Alice Huang, who US intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care.

Reuters is not naming the second employee. Attempts to reach the woman were not successful.

Nvidia declined to comment. Powell, Jensen Huang, and a representative for Nvidia's board did not reply to requests for comment. Alice Huang could not be reached for comment.

Jensen Huang admitted to an affair in a November 8 statement following the reports of his relationship with Alice Huang, without referring to her by name.

Yikes!

My understanding is they've cut production in half. Just enough to supply their own refineries and domestic needs. Even with inflation running at annual producer-price rates of ~150%, gas is sold domestically at the equivalent of 17¢/gal to keep flow going.

Hegseth awards medal to soldier who reprimanded his group at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
by Stefan Becket
November 12, 2026


Washington — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth awarded a medal on Thursday to the service member who reprimanded his group for making noise at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day.

Hegseth posted a series of photos on X with the soldier, Specialist Thomas Iglesias, and other members of the unit who guard the tomb at Arlington National Cemetery around the clock. One of the photos showed Hegseth pinning a medal to Iglesias' chest.

"We love soldiers. We love standards. Well done, Specialist," Hegseth wrote. "Carry on Patriots."

A Pentagon official said Hegseth "welcomed the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, the Old Guard, to the Pentagon where he proudly awarded Specialist Iglesias the Joint Service Commendation Medal for the execution of his duties at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on November 11, 2026."

Iglesias was guarding the Tomb following a Veterans Day event that included Hegseth, President Trump and other administration officials. Footage showed Hegseth, his wife, his chief of staff and other aides posing for photos near the tomb. Someone laughed, and Iglesias shouted: "All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times."

In the aftermath, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told CBS News: "The Secretary and the entire Department have always honored-and will always honor-the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe. While commemorating this solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum."

Soldiers reminding visitors to maintain decorum at the tomb is not uncommon. One member of the regiment that guards the tomb said in an Army interview in 2022 that sentinels react to the crowd two or three times per day.

It isn't.

But having an affair with a Chinese honeypot spy who was operating a shell company shunting chips to China to circumvent US law, and then having another affair with with an employee required to report directly to him is a different paradigm.
