Elon Musk will put up to $10 billion into Skydance to help the media giant pay down debt while also giving SpaceX satellite subsidiary Starlink a foothold in the entertainment business.
That was the eye-opening prediction offered Wednesday by John Malone, the billionaire media mogul who has earned a reputation as a sage for his ability to anticipate the future. Musk had already been reported to be a potential investor in Skydance, but Malone highlighted his corporate portfolio as well as the relationship with Skydance backer Larry Ellison, father of CEO David Ellison. deadline.com/2026/10/elon-mu…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post's lead sentence presents as fact what John Malone called his "big prediction" of a possible future SpaceX/Skydance deal; no such investment has been announced or confirmed by the companies.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

thoughts on CLAYFACE later, but call me crazy but I was under the impression that the whole selling point of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC universe was that they wouldn’t start making movies until they had finished scripts that were good.

Lance Oppenheim says he bribed Robert Pattinson into starring in ‘PRIMETIME’ by sending him 200 canisters of Zyn with a letter saying “Dear Chris Han-Zyn”.
“Rob, at the time, was grappling with a Zyn addiction.”

narrative violation but people are not thinking enough about the implications of generally exceptional but not generally superhuman AI. the economic implications are incredible but it might still look more like a long golden age rather than a technological singularity.

I thought after two weeks I would have stopped thinking about Digger. This movie just makes you reflect about life, about your place in life and society. For a person who cares about worldly affairs, it really is a punch to the gut. If this movie reaches you, it holds you.
Carl Franzen retweeted
I really think a huge dividing line among people's reactions to digger is if you have ever personally tried to change something in this world or even just at your workplace. great read
