Elon Musk's strategy envisions a transformative future driven by satellite-based mobile communication. Direct mobile-to-satellite connectivity will make everyone a satellite phone user, rendering traditional infrastructure obsolete and creating a new "space-coverage network". This network will require new operating systems, potentially replacing or subordinating existing platforms like iOS. As satellite phones do not need phone numbers, social media platforms may be controlled by Musk, with apps needing integration into his system. The space-coverage network will enable seamless global connectivity, revolutionizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and creating a unified global market, breaking down geopolitical boundaries and transforming industries. Access to global services, such as healthcare, insurance, and legal support, will become universally available. This network will also shift global relations, reducing national borders' significance and fostering cooperation over competition, with Musk potentially becoming a more influential figure than international organizations, according to

>>By observing facial expressions, postures, gestures, and interactions among people during Trump’s inauguration ceremony, we can gain insights into the development trends of Trump's team and make predictions about the more distant future. One can see that Trump behaves like a godfather while JD Vance has clearly adapted to this dynamic as the "underling". Four or eight years from now, Vance will be more mature and could potentially inherit Trump's position, becoming the next Republican president of the United States. Meanwhile, it appears that Rubio and Trump do not share consistent attitudes or views. Rubio clearly has his own ideas and is only maintaining a superficial alignment with Trump for the time being, noted

>>As the energy industry continues to adapt to a changing environment, a series of trends are emerging. First, American LNG exports may become an important bargaining chip in global trade negotiations. At the same time, the risk of oversupply in the global market, influenced by this trend, could undermine price stability. Second, the global energy market will continue to face supply chain challenges. Furthermore, the accelerated growth of global electricity demand will continue to drive the development of the low-carbon energy market. Lastly, while the hydrogen energy sector will receive more policy support, it will also face an increasing number of stalled projects, wrote
He Yan, a researcher at ANBOUND.
