$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ Starlink currently has 140k beta users paying $100/month. In a few years, that number could explode by 1000x (or 140m subscribers), bringing in $168B in revenues.
Financials aside, I would invest in SpaceX just to support the mission to Mars.

$Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ From the political comments here I'm beginning to belive Biden is all powerful and controls everything, everywhere! Kool-aid for everyone please! It's amazing how angry and wanting to blame, we have become. Education, science, research, and yes reason should control our investment decisions and how we live our lives. Policies and politics do have a place obviously. Just not the overwhelming determining factor. Give it a rest and live your lives and make your own decisions without trying to convince everyone that there's only one way to think. We do live in local communities as well as a world community. Clean your own house before you start telling everyone else how to clean theirs. Good investing everyone!

Starting today, $Baidu (BIDU.US)$ robotaxi business, called Apollo, can charge fees for passengers taking one of its 67 self-driving cars in Beijing. It's the first time a large city in China has allowed companies to charge the public for robotaxi rides, and sets the stage for other cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou to do the same. So far, Baidu can only offer public robotaxi rides when a safety driver is accompanying passengers, but expects that to change in the next year or two.
Bigger picture: While Baidu didn't reveal exact pricing of the new service, it said fares would be similar to other premium ride-hailing apps like $DiDi Global (Delisted) (DIDI.US)$ - which can cost twice as much as ordinary rides. The new autonomous regulatory permit also covers an area of 60 square kilometers, including a town called Yizhuang that features businesses like JD.com's headquarters. On Nov. 16, Alibaba's (NYSE:BABA) autonomous driving company AutoX claimed its fully driverless robotaxis now operate in the largest single region in China - 168 square kilometers located in Shenzhen's Pingshan District.
Over in the U.S., $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ Waymo has been testing self-driving taxis primarily in California and Arizona. Waymo can currently charge the public for fares in a part of Phoenix, while its driverless vehicles don't need a safety driver. $General Motors (GM.US)$ self-driving unit Cruise said earlier this month that it applied for final approval to become the first robotaxi operator to commercialize fully autonomous rides in San Francisco.
Apollo goes global? "We have partnered with many transportation companies in China and are trying to partner with similar companies in other places," said Wei Dong, VP of Baidu's intelligent driving group. "If there is such demand for autonomous driving in other markets, Baidu is willing to cooperate with overseas partners, whether it is an operating company, an automaker or another transportation company. We can export our technologies and experience, and jointly operate in certain areas on the basis of complying with local laws and regulations... Baidu is willing to open up for the international market."
Recent rumors also suggested Apple might be speeding up on the self-driving racetrack. See Apple might build an autonomous car. Who gets the call to be a partner?

$Sono Group (SEV.US)$ The lightweight Solar Panels has massive market potential. BEV delivery vans will be lapping these up. And that’s just scratching the surface. At current pricing SEV is a gift.
The kids have road tested these PVs for going on 4 years now. They are conservative nerds in their pitches always underpromising. They also appear to hesitant to play the whole SV game of high risk pump and dump.
