Here\u2019s what to know today.
SpaceX is set to begin trading on the stock market today at a valuation of $1.77 trillion – the largest ever initial public offering.
The IPO, which could be a referendum on Elon Musk, is also going to be the latest major test of red-hot demand for the artificial intelligence boom. Yesterday, the company locked in its final IPO price of $135, making it the largest stock debut ever.
What does SpaceX's stock market debut mean for you?
The implications of this IPO stretch far beyond the opening trade.
For years, SpaceX was largely accessible only to venture capital firms, institutional investors and a small group of private shareholders. Now, ordinary investors will have their first chance to buy into the company \u2014 whether they realize it or not. Recent changes made by major stock exchanges mean SpaceX could be added to passive index funds almost immediately.
In addition, buying the stock also means investing by proxy in Musk, the company\u2019s controlling shareholder. He\u2019s already the world\u2019s richest person but is poised to become the world\u2019s first trillionaire when the company goes public. To put that into perspective, it would take the average U.S. household nearly 12 million years to accumulate that much wealth.

A senior portfolio manager said investors should think of SpaceX not just as a rocket company, but as a combination of its launch business, Starlink satellite internet network and artificial intelligence ambitions. But some believe the company\u2019s ambition to go public at $1.7 trillion is too much, as it has yet to generate profit and produced roughly $19 billion in revenue last year.

When the U.S. men\u2019s national team opens its World Cup bid today in Los Angeles, all eyes will be on Christian Pulisic. The 27-year-old star is widely considered the most talented American player of his generation and \u2014 rightly or wrongly \u2014 tasked with delivering the best result in the country\u2019s history this summer on home soil.
He said he\u2019s not letting the pressure get to him, but that\u2019s easier said than done.
The furthest the U.S. men\u2019s national team has gone in over the last three decades has been the quarterfinals in 2002. This year\u2019s \u201cGolden Generation,\u201d named for its abundance of talented young players, is fueling hopes that the team will go far. Meanwhile, questions around Pulisic\u2019s play and leadership have swirled.

President Donald Trump announced that he\u2019s nominating Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, for the role of director of national intelligence. This comes after the president faced pushback for his decision to name Bill Pulte to the role in an acting capacity. Pulte, who has no national security background, was tapped to take over from Tulsi Gabbard, who announced last month she would step down.
Trump\u2019s decision has already caused fallout. Democrats all but cut off negotiations to renew a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, that grants government powers to spy on foreign nationals living abroad as part of counterterrorism efforts without requiring warrants. This week, the House failed to pass a short-term extension, meaning the funding will lapse for the first time<\/strong><\/a> since the law passed in 2008.
The Senate Intelligence Committee scheduled Clayton\u2019s confirmation hearing for next Wednesday. He previously served as chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission during Trump\u2019s first term and was a partner at a top law firm.

A U.S. official said last night that the U.S. military shot down two Iranian drones that were trying to strike commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. \u201cTraffic flow through the Strait continues,\u201d the official said.
The attack came hours after Trump threatened strikes on Iran, before later saying he had called them off because a deal was expected to be \u201cfinalized.\u201d During a rally last night in support of an Alabama Senate candidate, Trump touted a \u201cgreat deal\u201d with Iran, saying: \u201cThere\u2019ll be no nuclear weapons. People will start coming home very soon. It\u2019s pretty much, pretty much completed. We got everything we wanted.\u201d
Iran, however, did not confirm if a deal had been struck and Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei told local media that no \u201cfinal decision\u201d had been reached.

Prepare for intense heat, drought and some flooding \u2014 it\u2019s officially El Ni\u00f1o season, the National Weather Service announced.
El Ni\u00f1o is a natural climate pattern that is associated with higher average global temperatures. In the U.S., its influence is most obvious in the winter, creating warmer-than-usual conditions in the Pacific Northwest and unusually wet weather in the South. For some sea life, higher ocean temperatures could be a life-or-death scenario.
This event could be on par with some of the strongest documented in the past, according to models from the NWS.
\u201cThere\u2019s a 63% chance that we\u2019re looking at a very strong El Ni\u00f1o during the November to January time period that could rank among the largest El Ni\u00f1o events in the historical record,\u201d NWS meteorologist Ariel Cohen said.
Here\u2019s what happens during El Ni\u00f1os.<\/strong><\/a>
Late last year, after I reported on a Senate investigation into takeovers of mobile home communities by corporations and investment firms, my email exploded with readers sharing their experiences with these buyouts. One resident told me he\u2019d gone for days in the winter without heat, others recounted broken-down appliances, sewage backups, black mold, increasingly acrimonious battles with management and evictions. All contended money was the root cause: reduced services meant higher profits for the new owners.
In an increasingly unaffordable America, mobile home communities are one of the last best options for people unable to pay for a house or higher-cost rental. Some 22 million people live in these parks, and many are seniors on fixed incomes, disabled people and families of limited means. Now they say they have targets on their backs<\/strong><\/a> in communities that used to be owned locally but are becoming a big business. As the land these parks sit on becomes more valuable, profit-oriented financial firms are buying in and pushing out existing residents, some told me.
One puzzling aspect of this development: while the Trump administration called for a ban on big investors buying up single family homes, no federal action is underway to stop financial firms from buying mobile home communities. Some states are responding with protections but residents told me they still feel vulnerable and forgotten. \u2014 <\/em>Gretchen Morgenson<\/strong><\/em>, senior financial investigative reporter<\/em>
