Tesla EV sales "underwhelming" as Elon Musk pivots to AI
Nathan Bomey | 12 hours ago - Business

Quote
Tesla's first-quarter deliveries — a close proxy for sales — totaled 358,023.

That was up 6% from the same period a year earlier, when the company was dealing with a sales backlash from Musk's leadership of President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

But the performance marked an "underwhelming start" to the year, missing consensus estimates of 370,000, Wedbush Securities analyst and Tesla bull Dan Ives wrote in a research note.

The tally fell short of expectations despite a rush of last-minute purchases of the Model S sedan and Model X crossover, which are being discontinued.

Longtimer - at least he is a hardware guy, unlike Cook who was a salesman.
Apple is really lagging on AI so let us see.

Meta has hired five founding members of Mira Murati’s Thinking Machines Lab in a systematic talent raid
April 21, 2026 - 8:57 am

Quote
In summary: Meta has hired five founding members of Thinking Machines Lab, the AI startup built by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, after she rejected a reported $1 billion acquisition offer. The most expensive individual hire, co-founder Andrew Tulloch, reportedly received a $1.5 billion package over six years. The talent raid is part of a broader AI restructuring that includes the $14.3 billion Scale AI investment, Alexandr Wang’s appointment as chief AI officer, Yann LeCun’s departure after 12 years, 600 FAIR research cuts, and the creation of Meta Superintelligence Labs, whose first closed-source model, Muse Spark, launched on 8 April.

SpaceX Board has set a Mars bonus for Elon Musk
Published 4 days ago on April 28, 2026 By Gene

Quote
The pay package will reportedly award Musk 200 million super-voting restricted shares if the company hits a market valuation milestone, with the most ambitious targets going further. To unlock the full award, SpaceX would need to reach a $7.5 trillion valuation and help establish a permanent human settlement on Mars with at least one million residents. Additional incentives are tied to developing space-based computing infrastructure capable of delivering at least 100 terawatts of processing power.

Overarching goal remains to make Earthlings a multiplanetary species. Musk must settle 1m folks in self-sustaining Mars city to get fat bonus of 1B shares. Build factories to produce materials and construction equipment, bla bla. Mine comets and meteors for 'rare' space minerals.

But this is presently derailed by other lofty objectives:

•launch 1m satellites to offer unlimited global internet 3.0 (including satellite telcoms - which is  threatening big telcos and is being contested by AT&T, Verizon, Globalstar) and host orbital data centers (this is being contested at the FCC by Blue Origin as orbital hoarding, especially the vast spectrums needed)

•produce 100TW per year (presumably beamable to earth not just for the orbital data centers or factories)

•Artemis 3 & 4: build human landing system (HLS) for NASA's moon mission by 2028 (SpaceX already has a $2.9B contract for this, and $1.15B for Starship lander)

•new $1.25B per month deal to provide Anthropic with Colossus 1 & 2 compute June 2026 through May 2029


It basically seems SpaceX core R&D to #OccupyMars continues with Starship. While Falcon, Starlink and xAI bring the revenues.

The SpaceX IPO filing is filled with AI bets, Starship dreams, and Elon Musk at the center

Quote
But the company is, of course, making a lot of astronomical promises in the filing. One of the biggest? That it has “identified the largest actionable total addressable market in human history” of $28.5 trillion. The company attributes an enormous portion of that — $22.7 trillion — to “enterprise applications” of AI.

Quote
Total control

Make no mistake, this is Elon Musk’s company. Per the filing, Musk will be the CEO, CTO, and chairman of the SpaceX board after the IPO.

The S-1 shows he owns 93.6% of SpaceX’s Class B stock, which comes with 10 votes per share. Musk is therefore currently sitting on 85.1% of the voting power at SpaceX. That number is expected to drop following the IPO but will stay above 50%, allowing SpaceX to dodge certain rules about having independent directors on its board.

AI labs are Big Tech now. Anthropic revenue is $30B and OpenAI is $25B.

Anthropic’s $300M Stainless deal lands hardest on OpenAI and Google

Anthropic's acquisition of Stainless shuts down a shared SDK generator used by OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare, reshaping AI developer tooling.

IPOs are usually pumped in the beginning then pigs are slaughtered then wall street whales start accumulating from the first few days after the epic scam. If you are rookie in the market, don't touch IPOs the first few days unless you are a skilled scalper. SPCX since it starts with 2 trillion market cap maybe a different story, but I suspect retail and rookies will be robbed right away, but long term it will pay. Key is catching the bottom after it flatlines! Also, June 4 is the start of abolishing of $25000 requirement and PDT rule, so millions of people will be coming to market and may jolt the market in a different way. Market may behave differently, so caution, if you are newbie should be exercised. I think changing the rule will go down as only one best thing coming out of Trump administration. If they can work on Naked shorting and rampant fraud and open stock market to 24 hour trading, it will be the best thing since sliced bread. God bless US stock market- The greatest wealth generator machine ever built!

With Starfall, SpaceX eyes an edge in global cargo delivery from orbit

From here to anywhere

Most of what we know about Starfall comes from the FAA’s environmental assessment. In that document, the FAA writes that Starfall will “enable point-to-point delivery of critical cargo through space on rapid timelines” and provide access to space for commercial in-space manufacturing, a nascent market that, so far, is largely geared toward pharmaceuticals. Starfall could bring those materials back to Earth for commercial use. A private company named Varda Space Industries is already working in this area.

Key Points

Last month, Jeff Bezos’ namesake investment firm made five direct investments in startups, accounting for 10% of all such deals by family offices that month, per Fintrx.

Bezos Expeditions participated in five megarounds, including a $12 billion Series B for Prometheus, the physical AI startup that counts Bezos as a cofounder and co-CEO.

The Amazon founder has doubled down on capital-intensive AI startups, brushing off concerns of an AI bubble.

Lock up period is coming up soon, so if you still have SPCX shares better hit that sell button before Wall Street Wales dump millions of shares tanking it to the ground. Elon's lock up period is still months away, so entry after upcoming sell off will pay months to weeks before Elon's lock up period end. If it tanks below $60, may be time to scale because it will be pumped back to $200 by next year!
