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)

Matteo Di Gangi wrote that he saw, after the match in Paris, signs of progress and a recognizable identity in the team, while urging not to exaggerate in judgments. In his opinion, France was on another level, but Italy had shown character, especially in difficult moments. Di Gangi described the first half as almost perfect, citing the doubling up on the wings, the few chances conceded, and the counterattacks built after regaining the ball. He noted that in the second half, France had increased the pace and intensity and that Olise had begun to make an impact, while Donnarumma had only been beaten by a shot that hit the crossbar. He pointed to the equalizing goal, which came from high pressing and an insight from Bastoni 60-70 meters from the goal, as an important sign. On a tactical level, Di Gangi said he believed Kean should not play wide, while acknowledging that in that match two wingers were needed to contain the opponents. He added that if Kean and Pio Esposito had played together, a linking player would have been needed behind them to avoid overlaps and drops in effectiveness. He concluded by saying that, after a long dark period, he was beginning to see a recovery and hoped that Mancini could find a tactical solution. #Calcio #Tattica #Identità (translated)
