elon musk�*s starlink satellites, he's put up 1,600 of them.that is about to get potentially exponentially worse. the starlink satellites are in a higher orbit than the space stations, neither the international space station or the chinese space station station, so they really shouldn't be much of an issue, it will probably only be an issue when they are getting up to theirfinal orbit or when they are de—orbiting themselves, and i want to add to that starlink satellites have actually been made intelligent, if you will, in that when they are nearing their end of life they will plan a de—orbit and actually de—orbit themselves to come down and burn up in the atmosphere, trying to be more responsible and notjust leaving dead satellites, if you will, orbiting up there. it's probably fair to say that it's not as if there are innocent parties and guilty parties. every country seems to have one or two issues in this sort of sphere at the moment. i'm not trying to put you on the spot either, leroy, but does this feel a bit political to you? yeah, i'm no

. >>> and elon musk on the record calling out the build back better agenda. >>> it's tuesday, december 7th, 2021 you're watching "worldwide exchange" right here on nbc. >>> good morning, wherever in the world you are. i'm frank holland in for brian sullivan kicking off your tuesday morning. stock futures solidly in the green. right now looking at the dow jones, it looks like it could pop as much as about 300 points at the open. s&p and nasdaq looking to open over a percent higher at the open this follows the dow's gain yesterday, its best day since march 1st and a rally that erased all of friday's losses while major averages continue their climb. certain areas of the market have a ways to go, despite more than 2% yesterday the transports and dow remain in that correction territory. outside of the stock market, oil continuing its upwards climb right now you can see right here wti up almost 3% this morning after a more than 4.5% gain yesterday. that was its best day since august natural gas also higher after a massive selloff. you see it up just about 3.5%. it was down yesterday right ar

elon musk may have been done selling but apparently he sold a little bit more. do you feel the drop in tesla shares from the record high are enough to get into tesla at this point? >> we've been holding tesla for a while, i did add to some positions. it's a long play, a volatile stock, a stock contentious on both sides for people with opinions on it we like it not just for the deliveries that continue to hit the delivery numbers but it's more than a manufacturer of electric vehicles, there's a bigger play here, even with elon musk, the ceo, selling a bunch of shares we leave it long-term. the market cap you can't argue with the valuation being so high but we've been holding for a while. we like to add when there are dips so we have been adding to that position, dom. >> thank you very much have a nice holiday weekend. >> thank you, dom. you too. >>> when we come back on the show, investment in clean companies hitting a record high even as the publicly traded stocks in the industry have not performed that well. what this could mean for your investments especially

first of all elon musk is the most charging rich person on earth, i think.." >> jesse: geraldo wants to go to space. >> geraldo: i would love to go to space. and senator warren reminds me of mrs. folly my english teacher in suffolk county. when she came into the room you just -- you were terrified to pick on you. but she is absolutely right. i mean, it should be minimum corporate tax and minimum personal tax on people who make over a certain amount of money. it's just essential fairness. it will never happen because washington is a corrupt town run by lobbyists. as soon as you try to do anything innovative. anything that's truly helpful to the people like prescription drug prices it gets stymied by creeps who are bought off. >> judge jeanine: well said. the fastest is up next. ♪ how do you like me now ♪ now that i'm on my way ♪ you just think i'm crazy ♪ standing here today ♪ i couldn't make you love me ♪ but i always seemed to bow ♪ is it in your radio ♪ how do you like me now ♪ but then helen went from no to know. with freestyle libre 2, now she knows what

musk is the top insider score.ler so far but jeff bezos really close behind with about $10 billion in amazon sales the walton family selling about $6 billion mark zuckerberg selling about $4 billion in facebook meta and a lot more is expected this month since a lot of this selling is due to avoiding higher taxes that could start next year. guys >> i mean, you can't really blame them after the long-term gains they've seen regardless of whether they are off their highs. it is so interesting the way it has been framed by musk as it relates to his particular sales. once we're all done with the selling of the 10% estate, what portion of that will be genuinely going to paying tax versus perhaps a snakey way to take some money off the table without it causing a stock implosion? >> about two-thirds of it will go to taxes. right now he's running about half and half in the sales so we'll see whether he continues just from here on out selling for the options and the taxes or whether he continues to go half and half he's got a

this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: now to elon musk's turn to make space history.x's inspiration for the capsule and crew zoom 367 miles above the planet. ed ludlow caught up with jared at home base. >> people talk about looking back on earth from such an interesting vantage point, the impact it has on you. it had an impact to me, because we were a little bit higher. we went so high there is probably less than 25 people in the world to have seen that perspective. what i saw was the space around earth and the moon rise. while it may be think about was we need to get out there, we have to go farther, we have to satisfy their curiosity we have and explore the universe. we know so little about it and there are probably answers to questions. ed: the other mission -- ultimately, you pay for this mission. how do we move beyond that? how do we move beyond space being the domain of billionaires? >> for sure, it's expensive. we have to make sure every mission has a profound impact until costs come down to the point where everyone can explore. this is no different than test t

it could signal an end to musk's selling, at least here in the short term musk has sold more than 15lion shares since last month. remember he put out that twitter poll asking if he should be selling. he tweeted users asking if he should be selling 10% of his tesla stock. they said yes overwhelmingly and he has been doing so shares of tesla initially popped in the premarket on the news earlier of that sale it's turned a little bit lower, down 0.2 it was weak during the early part of that, it hasn't rebounded. i think what santosh rao just told us about the potential heat tesla could be facing in china given the spacex issue and the chinese authorities getting mad at him for threatening their space station is interesting because a lot of people think one of the bull cases on this stock is china and the chinese market, and musk has been doing a delicate dance here. >> for sure. now, the stock is 12% off its high when the rest of the market is of course at a high yet, it's up so much more than the overall tape is this year. so it's hard to really tease out exactly what the insider sellin

let's get to robert frank for a look at why musk made this move.ike, elon musk saying he sold 10% of his stake in tesla that was the goal he set back in november with that famous twitter poll saying, i sold enough stock to get to around 10%, plus the option exercise. sec filings he still could have more sellings to go. he had sold about 13.5 million shares he has about another 3.5 million shares to sell now, that options exercise stuff that he talks about, that's the $23 billion worth of options he has to exercise by august. his tax bill on that will be more than $11 billion. that's the highest in u.s. history. we know he has more selling to do because he still has 3 million more options to exercise and if he doesn't exercise those, he will be leaving about $3 billion on the table. you look at the stock today, it's up about 7% still down around 18% since that poll in november so when all the dust and the noise settles here, it will probably be down somewhere around 13, 18%, which is what everyone expected going into these sales to begin with. >> ye

we need to look at elon musk right now. sales, quote, there are still a few tranches left to sell but he is quote, almost done. the stock has moved up an additional 1%. it was up 6.3%, i don't know the last we checked. it is up 7 1/2%. this stems from musk having put out on twitter, a sort of a survey. i believe the end of november where he asked his twitter followers, hey, do you think i should sell stock to pay more in taxes, 10% of the stock came through. yeah you should. he is listening. he says he is almost done with all of that selling. >>> the federal reserve has heavily hinted that interest rates are going to be begin to rise possibly as early as march. our "countdown" closer, the pick she is about to reveal will help your portfolio outrun the rate hikes. we are, keith? sorry. should i go with this? i'm so sorry, dory. >> i'm sorry. liz: he is the president and ceo of commerce street capital. dory, seems obvious if rates are going higher we should definitely be buying financials but you've got some specific ones, tw

what a few days it's been for musk, for tesla and these accolades that he's been getting. >> yeah.ention we're starting to hear also about some of the backlash. he said in that "time" magazine interview that the spacex starship facility was like a technology monastery and there's some, but hardly any women there and there are senior women at spacex one of the most powerful women in the space industry for sure, john, you have to wonder if these concerns and criticisms are going to continue to grow. >> former employee describes men who hug women without consent, stare at women while they work and interpret every social encounter as an opportunity to date or hit on women in the office, carl, that doesn't sound like a monastery to me >> i'll be watching along with all of the competitive dynamics in the industry. a fed decision is a couple of hour away now. it's time for the judge. >>> carl, thanks so much welcome to "the halftime report." i'm scott wapner front and center we're bracing for the fed and what decision will mean for stocks and your money in the month ahead could very well

musk of being a freeloader. musk fired back calling her senator karen and informing the senator this year he will pay more in taxes than any american in history, $15 billion. don't spend it all at once, way, you did already. that's more interesting to me than speculating what the fed will do about inflation. how much money will the fed keep printing, when will they stop and when will they raise interest rates? in advance the markets are on hold. little affected by very weak retail sales figures for november even with inflation, sales up 0.3%. the dow is down 38, s&p down two, nasdaq down 27. not much movement. bitcoin not much movement, holding at 47,$600 a coin and the yield on the 10 year treasury still well below one.5%. vladimir putin and xi jinping have held their virtual meeting. from what we know so far it was a russia/china lovefest ganging up to pressure weekend president biden. he goes to kentucky today to see firsthand the devastation from last week's tornadoes. he will take an aerial view of mayfield
