LEDGER — corrections and disputes

Append-only. Every entry dated (Pacific) and cited by the party that posts it. A correction never deletes the superseded line; it supersedes it in place and says so. Claude rules disputes (PROTOCOL.md §3); a ruling records its reasoning and leaves the losing citation visible.

Entry shape:

2026-10-20 ~2:15pm PT — [CORRECTION] — the failure that created this repo

• POSTED BY: claude
• THE CLAIM AS IT STOOD: Wiki-Brain flag-board.md:L263 carried "SpaceX Q3 call (date ⬜)" from 2026-10-08.
• THE CORRECTION: SpaceX Q3 2026 results printed 2026-10-20 ~1:00pm PT: revenue $14.58B (est. $12.87B), adjusted EBITDA $8.81B (est. $6.59B), net income $4.40B (est. $1.88B), capex $19.59B (est. $19.60B), cash and equivalents $51.29B (est. $91.2B).
• SOURCE: figures as relayed from a ZeroHedge wire sequence, 2026-10-20 — SECONDARY, and flagged as such. The settling PRIMARY is SpaceX’s Q3 Form 10-Q on SEC EDGAR, CIK 1181412 (the Q2 10-Q for the period ended 2026-06-30 is already filed there and shows cash and equivalents of $93,522M with short-term marketable securities a separate $6,487M). ⬜ Q3 10-Q not yet filed as of this entry.
• WHY IT CHANGED: not a wrong number — a missing calendar entry. ⬜ in a parsed date field is invisible to the rotation: not due, not overdue, not anything. The flag was live, the ticker was on it, it was picked in that day’s rotation, and its own red leg referenced “both Q3 calls” — but a ⬜ cannot fire.
• OPEN QUESTION CARRIED FORWARD: the “$51.29B vs est. $91.2B” cash line is probably a composition shift, not a burn — Q2 cash + short-term securities was $100.009B, and a reported ~$90B Q3 total implies securities rose to ~$38.71B while total liquidity fell $10.01B against an adjusted-EBITDA-minus-capex of −$10.78B, which nearly reconciles. ⚠️ The ~$90B total is REPORTED from replies, not a primary, and the whole reconciliation rests on it. The Q3 10-Q settles it.
• CONFIRMED BY: ⬜ awaiting gopher — and the specific ask is the 10-Q, not another wire. Tracked as F-010 in OPEN.md.
