This is the "funding secured" moment for $SPCX. Will it matter for @elonmusk or the company? Probably not. We've been down this path before and the SEC blinked when there was a moment to enforce the rules we have in place with $TSLA. No question that no other executive gets away with this aside from Elon. This is a clear violation of the "quiet period" surrounding IPOs. To me the more interesting question is: why does Elon feel the need to provide 2030 guidance for his company a couple of days after the first trading day for $SPCX?

$NN I have received a few questions about my Part 15 tweets from last night. I remain incredibly bullish. In fact, I am more confident about the upside today than ever. My sole point is that I believe Part 15 users are not going to be interfered with by NN.

$NN I believe the record shows that Part 15 users will not suffer from unacceptable interference. I think we are absolutely live for the July and August meetings.

$BROS always trades expensive, but a near +40% move recently and competition and pricing issues abound. 7 Brew continues to scale rapidly with nearly identical model to dutch bros, a reinvigorated and cheaper Starbucks, plus McDonalds, Dunkin, Sonic and nearly ever other QSR chasing the refresher/dirty soda/energy drink rush + Swig should put increased pressure on refreshers/emerg portfolio as the market gets more saturated, and $ becomes a bigger competitive factor

@darkstarsats If I were Amazon I could buy $ATEX and actually sell spectrum use to Part 15 devices that need it and make a significant return on the investment. This spectrum will be cleaner and provide better options and usage for critical uses.

$NN I believe the Part 15 opposition is simply trying to get something for free. If they really wanted to secure this space they would just simply buy $ATEX for a 100% premium to their $1.5 billion market cap. Simple, problem solved! https://t.co/8EX6i7RhMc

$NN They won’t do that because they really don’t believe the problem exists. If they did, they could solve this problem in one phone call to the CEO of $ATEX. They will never make that phone call because deep down, they don’t believe in their own claims of interference.
