Nacho Montes de Oca wrote that Tesla and SpaceX stocks fell after a measure against Ukraine was announced, despite the success that, according to him, Elon Musk's flying car presentation had. He suggested that the declines could also be due to other events. According to Montes de Oca, the Italian government halted negotiations to contract Starlink services for $1.63 billion, amidst the controversy over the reliability of the service and repeated threats and incidents of signal cuts in Ukraine. He also noted that Germany had accelerated the development of its own constellation of sovereign military satellites. He added that Valérie Hayer, president of Renew Europe, and Andrius Kubilius, EU defense commissioner, had advocated for the urgent need for a European alternative to Starlink. The author stated that Democratic and Republican senators had sent a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general demanding an urgent investigation into the restrictions imposed on the network. He said this could affect SpaceX's contracts with the U.S. government, which he estimated at $29.68 billion. Of that total, he indicated, $8.05 billion corresponded to new military contracts awarded and based on Starshield, the company's military division. Montes de Oca maintained that Musk's accusations against Donald Trump and Trump's response— where he denied being responsible and also said he didn't believe Musk was responsible— had harmed the conglomerate's reputation. He attributed the drop in SpaceX's stocks to a loss of $28.6 billion for Musk. He also estimated that Tesla's decline between October 13 and 16, 2026, had reduced its market capitalization by between $35 billion and $38 billion. To those losses, he added the revenues that, in his opinion, could cease to be obtained from the Italian contract and agreements with other countries interested in the system. Finally, he noted that it remained to be seen whether Musk would maintain a strategy that, as he wrote, imitated Trump's aggressive stance towards Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky, or if investor pressure would lead him to change his decision. He also stated that support for Vladimir Putin had a high and self-destructive cost. #Tesla #SpaceX #Ucrania (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca claimed that Europe rejected the proposal from Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to place up to $300 billion in frozen Russian assets into a financial vehicle managed by the White House. He wrote that the Trump Administration's plan would allocate part of the funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine and another part for joint investments from Russian and American companies, under the supervision of the U.S. Treasury and a special body designated by Trump. Montes de Oca pointed out that the European response combined indignation and astonishment. He added that the European Union was holding back between 70% and 80% of the funds—about €210 billion—while the United States controlled between 1% and 2%, equivalent to about $5 billion. According to the author, the rest was distributed among banks in Japan, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Canada. #Europa #Ucrania #Trump (translated)

Gustavo Petro defended a proposal to desalinate seawater and pump it to Santa Marta from the north of the city using solar energy and batteries. He said that the supply would complement the water arriving by gravity from the Sierra Nevada, which, according to him, was no longer sufficient, and accused Abelardo of opposing the project as a megadrought was approaching. He also claimed that the proposal would bring drinking water to the northern Caribbean coast and questioned why the project was destroyed just as the installation was about to begin, without proposing an alternative. Petro compared Abelardo to Peñalosa and stated that the latter had replaced an underground metro with an elevated one, which, as he wrote, did not reduce average travel times and cost USD 7 billion to the Colombian people. He added that Bogotá had lost 12 years and continued to suffer from traffic jams, linking the project to the devaluation of developments in the northern savannah. In addition, he questioned the Sierra Azul mining concession, which, according to Petro, would extract copper and silver for Abelardo's foreign allies and affect the water of the Rancherías river and lands intended for food production. He argued that the priority should be to invest in drinking water for the northern Caribbean and accused Abelardo of depriving Santa Marta of water while he had never lacked it in his home in Florida, where Petro also associated him with Marcos and people he described as drug traffickers. He concluded by labeling those responsible as "professional scammers." #AguaPotable #SantaMarta #Desalinizacion (translated)
