Musk: The future will require "septillion dollars" (10²⁴) to create antimatter for interstellar travel
Musk stated on Twitter that by then "everything will no longer be measured in dollars, but in mass and energy." NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman publicly expressed support for antimatter propulsion research. It sounds crazy, but is physically entirely feasible— just that the current cost of antimatter is about $625 trillion per gram.
> Hot comment: When Musk starts talking about "septillion," it suggests he feels "trillion" is no longer exciting enough. Next time he might quote it in Planck units.

Hot topic: The market is debating whether this "closure" is a real blockade or a negotiation chip, as vessels are still passing through.

Iran's closure of the Strait, European CLO default, Goldman Sachs warning of AI capital saturation—three seemingly unrelated pieces of news all point to the same underlying logic: global liquidity is tightening, with marginal costs rising across energy channels, credit markets, and tech investments. Meanwhile, Musk discusses "septillion dollars" and antimatter propulsion, Anthropic prepares for an IPO, and retail frenzy over SpaceX—capital is still seeking the next narrative outlet. When the leverage of the old world begins to break, the stories of the new world must be told more grandly.
