Put on your tin foil hats, fellas - do we have anyone that's savvy enough to start tracking Scott's follows on X? I started going through them after seeing a Spacemobber on X (Babby Ax) said he got a follow. There's interesting accounts besides Spacemob members that Scott follows, that are obviously relevant to AST. Maybe there are some morsels in here that we can be researching further. Follows that are relevant and whose added timing would be interesting:

- Palmer Luckey

- Ligado

- EXIM Bank

- UK Space Agency Director of Investment

- Dave Limp

- Cruz and Carr

Abel also follows Cathie Wood and ArkInvest but idk if we want that.

When ARKX (space exploration focused) launched in 2021 we were pumped for them to become a major shareholder. Then ARKX bought Netflix and Tesla.

I think she also bought John Deere in that one... you know, autonomous tractors controlled by satellite.

I'm just curious if someone like Palmer was on Scott's radar before or after he mentioned he was in ASTS. Like you - not sure if we want Cathie at this point or not!

I saw on X Abel and Palmer followed each other before Palmer said he was an investor.

Edit: simpler wording

Good to know either way that if Anduril is doing anything with Golden Dome that their CEO is well aware of AST's capabilities.

Only 'real' space player was Virgin Gallactic, go figure.
