12.06.2026 ⇢ The Day SpaceX Made Musk a Trillionaire
⌨
The day was dominated by Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX's IPO surged 23%, a milestone covered across outlets. The Iran deal saga continued: Trump touted an imminent agreement, but Iran denied a final conclusion, and the US shot down Iranian drones. By afternoon, Trump lashed out at Iranian media for leaking alleged terms. In the evening, Pakistan announced a 'final, agreed upon text' of a peace deal, though Trump's objectives remained unfulfilled. A Texas shooting with multiple casualties drew attention, and a judge blocked Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. The DOJ approved the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, and the Kennedy Center lost its appeal to keep Trump's name.
