On December 8, Elon Musk proposed deploying a localized AI satellite in sun-synchronous orbit and building a satellite factory on the Moon, aiming to add gigawatts of computing power annually to advance toward a "Kardashev Type II civilization."

Trump signed the Epstein Transparency Act on November 19th, explicitly mandating the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all unclassified documents within 30 days of the signing—setting the statutory deadline at December 19th. Yet despite this legal requirement, the market pegs the probability of release by December 19th at just ~56%, and release by December 31st at only 70%.
