News on October 12: According to China Youth Network, American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk was recently asked at an event on an overseas social media platform what he thought of the “Chinese version of Musk” (Ma Yilong). Musk replied: “I’d like to find an opportunity to invite that person to join me onstage.” At the event, the host played Musk a video about the “Chinese version of Musk.” Musk laughed and said, “I hope that person is real. I guess there’s a good chance they aren’t.” Musk added that he does look a little Asian: “There must be someone in China who looks like me, right? After all, there are 1.4 billion people there.” He also said he’d like to invite that person to share the stage with him sometime.
Experts interpret “Explanation of the Inspection of the Zunjie V800 Brake Pedal”: “Gradually increasing force” differs from “instantaneous force”
On October 13, a reporter from the Beijing News Shell Finance learned from JAC Motors that the “Explanation of the Inspection of the Zunjie V800 Brake Pedal” states that the Zunjie V800 brake pedal can withstand a force of 1,500 N, meeting industry standards. In a more stringent test, it was subjected to a longitudinal force of 3,000 N, with no cracks or damage observed. Two experts offered their interpretations and analysis.
The explanation states that the Zunjie V800 was tested by “gradually increasing the longitudinal force to 3,000 N at a loading speed of 20 mm/min, holding it for 5 seconds before releasing the force. This was repeated five times across 14 brake-pedal assemblies, none of which showed cracks or damage on visual inspection.”
Meng Wei, deputy chief engineer for complete-vehicle products at an automaker, told a reporter from the Beijing News Shell Finance: “National standards do not require force to be applied at an extremely high speed. Slowly increasing the force to 2,000 N over one or two seconds is a different test from applying 2,000 N with a sudden ‘slam’ in a fraction of a second when someone faces an emergency. The brake pedal has to withstand different pressures in these two situations, and the people designing its support bracket need to take that into account.”
An Xin, a product structural design engineer, added another perspective to the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter: “The force on a brake pedal differs depending on whether the vehicle is stationary or moving. Zunjie did not specify whether this test was static or dynamic. The speed at which the force is applied—fast or slow—is also very important.”
Ron Baron expects SpaceX to reach $50 trillion within a decade, up from his previous estimate of $2 trillion — saying Elon Musk thinks his estimate is “way too low” Investor Ron Baron believes SpaceX could reach a market capitalization of $20 trillion to $50 trillion within a decade, with the Starlink program and space data centers playing key roles. A decade-long rally could send shares soaring to “thousands of dollars per share” On Tuesday, the founder of Baron Capital said at Columbia Business School’s Distinguished Speakers Series that he believes the company led by Elon Musk will trade at “thousands of dollars per share” within a decade, giving it a market capitalization of “$20 trillion, $30 trillion, $50 trillion.” SpaceX currently has a market capitalization of about $2.063 trillion. Baron said he advises friends to buy SpaceX shares and keep adding to their holdings every month, regardless of market fluctuations. If they wake up worried about how much they have invested, he advises: “Then call your broker and buy some more.” Baron believes that Starlink alone could be worth “about $14 trillion to $15 trillion” in a decade, and that it is still at a “very early stage” of its growth. He said data centers in space could be “several times the size of Starlink” because “we can’t build them on Earth anymore.” He said investors should expect returns of “at least 20 or 30 times.” The Bull Case Widens The bullish case is expanding Citi analyst John Godin believes the stock could rise to $900 per share, implying a market capitalization of about $12.2 trillion, after Starship successfully carried 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit last month.
Last week, the company agreed to acquire nationwide 800 MHz spectrum from Grain Management to extend Starlink Mobile from satellites to the ground, potentially challenging AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ). CNBC host Jim Cramer said last week that SpaceX could deliver returns to investors well before Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA). Benzinga Edge rankings show that SpaceX shares have positive price trends over the short, medium, and long term. $SPCX.US

It’s so funny, even though… This monkey is one hardcore foodie. It got the honey in its mouth, but its face got stung red as a monkey’s behind. It was determined to get every last bit of sweetness, even if it meant risking it all!
After laughing, though, it got me thinking: isn’t this just like a lot of people? They get carried away when they spot a benefit, ignore all the risks, and only regret it after learning the hard way.
As the old saying goes, chasing small gains can lead to big losses. No matter how sweet the reward, you still have to think about the cost. Give in to a craving for a moment, and you may end up worse off!

Claude banned 11.4 million accounts in six months; only 42,000 bans were overturned after appeals
Claude has recently been banning accounts on a massive scale, leaving developers across the AI community completely shaken and exclaiming, “This is the end of the world.” Discussions about “Claude account bans” even surged past the million mark over the holiday period.
Just then, a report Anthropic published in July resurfaced and began circulating widely online.
The figures inside are truly staggering.
In the first half of 2026, Claude banned a total of 11.4 million accounts in just six months. Of the 398,000 appeals submitted, only 42,000 were ultimately successful.
That means nine out of every ten people were “coldly executed”—you could say the appeals process is practically pointless...
And by sheer coincidence, Anthropic has just updated Claude’s usage policy, explicitly prohibiting users from insulting or treating Claude cruelly.
CPC Central Committee and State Council: Build a National Blockchain Network and a National Integrated Computing Power Network

The Opinions further call for improving policy frameworks to promote both the industrialization of the digital economy and the digital transformation of industries, and for developing internationally competitive digital industry clusters.
OpenAI and Anthropico are quietly rehearsing for the days after an AI disaster
- Executives at Anthropic, OpenAI, and other AI companies are privately conducting political war games to assess the political fallout from a catastrophic AI incident—likely a cyberattack targeting finance, internet access, electricity, or water—and are planning to brief Congress quickly. - Industry insiders reportedly expect a major incident within the next six to twelve months. OpenAI said its preparedness exercises do not treat such a scenario as inevitable, while Anthropic declined to comment. - Planners believe Democrats will push for limits on AI after the November 3 midterm elections. But an aging Congress, the economy’s reliance on AI, and freely downloadable open-weight models could complicate any crackdown.
