According to sources familiar with the matter, SpaceX is considering a dual-class share structure in its planned initial public offering (IPO) this year. A dual-class share structure would grant certain shareholders a higher voting power, thus giving them a dominant position in decision-making. This would allow insiders, including Musk, to maintain control of the company even with a smaller percentage of shares. The sources also stated that SpaceX is adding board members to assist with the IPO and expand Musk's space ambitions beyond its core rocket and satellite businesses. Dual-class share structures are common in US tech companies, typically granting founders and insiders 10 to 20 votes per share, while common stock usually has only one vote. Critics argue that this weakens accountability. Musk has praised this structure and proposed a dual-class share structure for Tesla to ensure he has at least 25% voting control in the company.

According to a Reuters report on the 13th local time, two US officials stated that the US military is preparing for a potentially weeks-long operation should President Trump order an attack on Iran. This could escalate into an unprecedented and serious conflict between the two countries. The report states that this information disclosed by US officials puts ongoing US-Iran diplomatic efforts at greater risk. The officials indicated that the current operational planning is more complex. One official stated that in a sustained military operation, the US military could not only strike Iran's nuclear infrastructure but also its state institutions and security facilities; this official declined to provide specific details.

Odaily reports that the Dutch House of Representatives passed a legislative proposal on February 13th to impose a 36% capital gains tax on savings and most liquid investments, including cryptocurrencies. The proposal passed with 93 votes, meeting the 75-vote threshold for approval.
