Who let the dogs out?
Denmark’s not rolling over.
The Nordic nation announced Tuesday that it will bolster Greenland’s defenses with a $1.5 billion in new resources, including two elite sled dog teams, days after President-elect Donald Trump signaled renewed interest in purchasing the Arctic island. 🐶
“It is ironic that it coincides with the announcement from the United States,” Danish Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen told Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten about the new defense package, dismissing that it had anything to do with Trump’s Sunday Truth Social post.
“For many years we have not invested enough in the Arctic, now we are planning a stronger presence,” he added.
Poulsen noted that the massive defense package would fund the purchase of two new patrol boats, two new long-range drones and allow two additional sled dog teams to be deployed to the barren, icy island.

The Musk-Led Manufacturing Revolution Nobody Is Talking About
When most analysts discuss Tesla, they focus on new vehicles or the electric vehicle company’s advancements in autonomy. Yet, according to Launch i/o CEO Jeff Lutz, one of the most significant—and under-discussed—developments at Tesla is happening not in its design studios or on the road, but in its factories. Lutz, a former executive at Google and Motorola, argues that Tesla’s true innovation isn’t just the electric vehicles or robots it’s building, but how those products are being made. The company’s first-principles approach to manufacturing is a radical departure from the industry norm, focusing not just on cheap labor or existing models, but on rethinking the entire production process.
Tesla is creating factories that are the product—designing, testing, and perfecting every element just as they do with their cars. This focus on manufacturing efficiency, Lutz believes, will lead to a dramatic reduction in production costs, potentially bringing them closer to zero. And this shift in how products are built—rather than merely assembled—could set a new standard for the entire manufacturing world.
