Summary

This week's "Who Said It" is a business quote that aged in a very funny direction — once you find out who said it and what happened next, you'll understand why we opened with it.

Tesla's back on the move and this time there's actually something real behind it — the first Tesla Semi rolled off the line with some genuinely impressive specs. We break down the numbers, what it could mean for the industry, and why we're cautiously optimistic with an asterisk. Then there's the SpaceX IPO filing with a clause so brazen it makes you do a double take — Elon Musk has essentially structured it so that the only person who can fire Elon Musk... is Elon Musk.

On the war front, Ukraine had a very productive week before anyone started talking ceasefires — a missile ship, a patrol boat, a shadow fleet tanker, a refinery, and oh, a drone that made it six miles from the Kremlin. Then both sides announced ceasefires — on completely different dates — and we have some questions about how that's supposed to work. There's also a pointed warning to Belarus that tells you everything you need to know about how much the situation on the ground has shifted.

An aid flotilla got intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters — 600 miles from Gaza — and the Jerusalem Post's headline about it is genuinely one for the ages. We read it so you don't have to.

NASA's new chief wants to give Pluto its planet status back, and we have a disagreement brewing. Trump gave Zambia a deadline that made our jaws drop. And May Day is tomorrow — 750 events planned, an economic blackout underway, and we have some thoughts on whether this or another approach has been more effective lately.
