Good morning, New Port Richey. It's National Good Neighbor Day, which in a town this size is less a holiday than a job description. Mostly sunny today, a high near 88 and a low of 71, with the storm chances holding off until Wednesday.

The Richey Suncoast Theatre goes back to its origins tomorrow with six free silent films running from 11 to 6, plus tours of the building. Pasco County Parks caught manatees moving through the channel at SunWest Park, Pasco Fire Rescue's Challenge Team came home from the national championships in first place, and Gulf High has a financial aid night on the calendar for October 22.

Tonight there is barbecue at Founder's Feasts and music bingo at Double Bogey's. Tomorrow The Hacienda opens its doors for history tours at 5 and 6. Wednesday brings the Agape food pantry in Hudson and a book club at Inchstone Books. Go say something nice to whoever lives next door.

The next Apple may already exist. Insider sources say Elon has spent two years building a secret device inside Tesla's facilities — one he claims will be "10x bigger than the largest product in history."

There's just one problem: the company is private, and unless you know Elon personally, you can't buy a single share. That was true until Guardian's research team found three public ticker symbols sitting in the launch supply chain.

Click here to see all 3 tickers, free of charge.

You won't hear these names on CNBC — Wall Street hasn't published a word on the connection. But when the launch hits September 21, that quiet ends.

Some are already calling this the biggest opportunity since AI. For anyone who missed Apple before the iPhone, this may be a second look at that kind of setup.

Get the 3 ticker symbols here.
