Ghost opens episode 116 with Trump's latest gaggle confirming the Hormuz naval blockade is history, US farmers are getting paid to feed Iran, and critics like Ted Cruz need to be "educated" on the deal's terms. The IAEA inspections dispute gets the full treatment: Ghost breaks down how Iran only denied inspecting its bombed facilities, not all facilities, and why the media is deliberately misrepresenting the gap. Pakistan PM Sharif and Iran's president both confirm ballistic missiles were never on the table, period. Ghost then turns to the Jerusalem News Syndicate summit, walking through Mark Levin's unhinged speech, Netanyahu's "kill them first" Talmud citation calling the diaspora to fight back, and Naftali Bennett's bombshell admission that he was smuggling tens of thousands of Starlink receivers into Iran to support a regime change operation. Israel's Diaspora Affairs Minister declares the new enemy axis is Turkey, Syria, and Qatar, which are precisely Trump's three closest Middle East allies. Keir Starmer's resignation gets Ghost's theory that European elites pushed him out for being too cooperative with Trump. The episode closes with Colombia's razor-thin election of Trump-endorsed "El Tigre," his background as Alex Saab's lawyer, and Gustavo Petro's accusation that Israel hacked Colombian election servers.

Yahoo Finance reported that SpaceX shares fell 16.4 percent, giving back most gains since the company's public debut. The move highlights typical post IPO volatility as early allocations, stabilization activities, and changing ownership dynamics shape trading. Investors are focusing on Starlink subscriber growth, launch cadence, and regulatory milestones that influence margins, capital needs, and cash flows. Competitive pressure from Amazon's Project Kuiper and Eutelsat's OneWeb adds uncertainty to pricing and win rates. Public company requirements, lockup expirations, and potential index eligibility may further shift the shareholder base. Suppliers, employees, and customers are monitoring the implications, while founders can note the importance of liquidity planning and disciplined investor communications.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Morningstar equity analyst Nicolas Owens breaks down why his team values SpaceX at just $63 per share despite the stock soaring above $200 after its IPO. We unpack the assumptions behind SpaceX's most ambitious bets, from reusable Starship launches to data centers in space and the company's growing AI ambitions. Owens also explains where he thinks investors may be getting ahead of themselves, why Starlink's opportunity could be smaller than advertised, and what milestones could ultimately justify the hype. Plus, we discuss the odds of a future Tesla–SpaceX merger and what it could mean for shareholders.

CNBC reported that SpaceX shares declined again after a rally that followed its blockbuster IPO. The movement reflects post-IPO price discovery as allocations settle, lockups constrain float, and underwriter stabilization tools taper off. Investors are assessing SpaceX's launch contracts and the Starlink broadband network, both of which require significant capital. Equity performance will influence decisions on secondary offerings, partnerships, and debt. Index eligibility, analyst coverage, and lockup expirations will shape demand in the months ahead. Founders can use these dynamics to plan timing, disclosure cadence, and capital allocation around their own liquidity events.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Starlink Fail

In Episode 191 of The Investor Professor Podcast, Ryan and Cameron break down one of the biggest stories in the market: the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO. They discuss the stock's explosive debut, investor sentiment, valuation concerns, employee selling restrictions, and what SpaceX's future could look like through Starlink, private aviation, and global connectivity. The conversation also explores how market narratives, social media, and retail investors are influencing stock prices in today's environment.The episode also examines the growing divide between hardware and software stocks, including the emerging "SaaSpocalypse" impacting software companies such as Salesforce while AI infrastructure, data center, and semiconductor-related businesses continue to attract capital. We also discuss the new Federal Reserve leadership, interest rate expectations, inflation, oil prices, and what investors should watch in the second half of the year. Whether you're interested in SpaceX, AI, market psychology, or the future direction of the economy, this episode delivers timely insights to help you stay informed and invest with confidence.*This podcast contains general information that may not be suitable for everyone.

WombatNet's Alex Stewart is concerned customers will fall back on Starlink - and he says there are security and monopoly risks.

One group sees a guy who helped revolutionize electric vehicles, private space flight, satellite communications, artificial intelligence, robotics, and who knows what he'll tackle next.The other sees a tax form that hasn't been filled out aggressively enough.That's the divide.Conservatives tend to look at extraordinary achievement and ask, "What can we learn from it?"Leftists look at extraordinary achievement and ask, "Who allowed this?"And nobody illustrated that better than Elizabeth Warren.The moment Musk crossed the trillion-dollar threshold, Warren responded exactly the way your neighborhood HOA president responds when somebody paints their house a color she didn't approve.Not curiosity.Not admiration.Not even skepticism.Immediate regulatory panic."We need a wealth tax."Of course.Because in Washington, every accomplishment eventually gets translated into government revenue.Build a company? Tax it.Create jobs? Tax them.Invent something revolutionary? Tax that too.At some point they'll propose taxing ambition itself.The Left treats wealth the way medieval villagers treated comets.They don't understand where it came from, but they're convinced it means something terrible.And what fascinates me isn't Warren.She's doing what Warren does.What fascinates me is how many people share the same mindset.They see Elon Musk and think he somehow won capitalism's lottery.As if Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, X, and AI were all purchased at a gas station with a lucky scratch-off ticket.As if a trillion dollars simply appeared one morning in his checking account.No process.No risk.No sacrifice.No years of being told he'd fail.Just poof.A trillion dollars.The reality is far less magical and far more irritating to his critics.Musk spent years being mocked by people who have never built anything larger than a political mailing list.Tesla was supposed to fail.SpaceX was supposed to fail.Starlink was supposed to fail.His purchase of Twitter, now X, was supposed to be the business equivalent of driving a Ferrari into a lake.The experts assured us.The analysts assured us.The journalists assured us.The politicians assured us.At one point, the only thing growing faster than Musk's companies was the list of people predicting their collapse.And here's the remarkable thing.Every prediction failed.Every obituary was premature.Every declaration that Musk had finally overplayed his hand turned into another example of why the people making the predictions should never be trusted with lottery numbers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire after the SpaceX IPO, and in this episode of Mark and Pete we ask the fairly obvious, slightly uncomfortable question: can one man have too much money?SpaceX going public has pushed Elon Musk's net worth beyond one trillion dollars, at least on paper, which is a phrase doing a heroic amount of work. He does not, presumably, have the sum sitting in a current account while a banking app politely asks whether he would like to round up his spending for charity. Much of it is tied up in shares, future expectations and the astonishing market value of SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla and Musk's wider technological empire.Still, a trillion is a trillion. It is not merely wealth in the ordinary sense. It is influence, infrastructure, political reach, communications power, satellite control, artificial intelligence and the ability to alter markets by saying something odd before breakfast.Pete and Mark discuss Elon Musk's extraordinary rise from billionaire to the world's richest man and now, apparently, trillionaire. We look at the record-breaking SpaceX stock market flotation, reusable rockets, Starlink satellites, Tesla, private enterprise and the sheer speed with which Musk accumulated his fortune.But this is not simply an episode about resenting a rich man for being rich. Musk has built companies, created jobs, lowered the cost of space travel and achieved things governments talked about for years while commissioning another report. That matters.The deeper question is what happens when wealth becomes so concentrated that one private individual begins to possess something resembling the power of a small nation. Is that enterprise, danger, stewardship or all three at once?Our Bible verse is Luke 12:15: “A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”Christianity does not teach that money is evil. It does teach that money is a very poor god, an unreliable master and a splendid way of discovering what a person already worships.Elon Musk may now be worth a trillion dollars. The final valuation, mercifully, is conducted elsewhere.

Is the AI trade a bubble? Imran Khan — founder of Proem Asset Management, former Snap executive, and the banker behind the Alibaba and Mercado Libre IPOs — isn't convinced. Dan Nathan sits down with Imran to pressure-test the bear case, from Nvidia's below-market multiple to the cyclical-vs-secular debate in memory, and to dig into why a big chunk of SpaceX's $2.5T valuation may not be a space story at all. Topics Covered Why hyperscalers underperform during heavy CapEx cycles — and why that's historically the best time to buy Distribution vs. technology: how Gemini won while arguably being the inferior model, and why Grok couldn't Meta's setup — cheap on earnings, not cheap on free cash flow — and the Zuckerberg "big swing" risk Nvidia at a $5T market cap: the $20B debt raise, buybacks, and the customers-are-competitors problem Micron and high-bandwidth memory sold out into 2027, and the cyclical-vs-secular question that decides the stock The "bottleneck trade" everyone's chasing — and why earnings durability is the thing to watch Energy constraints, data center delays, and the long-term demand picture Imran's contrarian case that AI won't create structural unemployment SpaceX's valuation decoded: rocket launch, Starlink, and the xAI cloud ramp What OpenAI and Anthropic coming to market could mean for the AI trade —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

Alan Lasky arrived at the AI XR Podcast straight from Las Vegas ahead of NAB. An MIT Media Lab graduate under Nicholas Negroponte, a veteran of Silicon Graphics and Amazon Web Services, and an advisor to investment banks on AI and media, he brings technical depth, industry history, and financial realism about where media is actually going.The conversation covers Hollywood's structural collapse, AI's role in the production renaissance, and the harder question of why trillion-dollar tech companies keep buying media businesses that can't generate comparable returns.Alan's answer: soft power. Amazon makes $950 million Lord of the Rings spinoffs so you order more paper towels. Apple is making Neuromancer. His five-year weighted moving average of Disney stock — flat from 2018 — makes the argument clean.AI XR News You Should Know: Artemis ignited a new space boom. Amazon acquired Global Star satellite to build Project Kuiper, a direct Starlink competitor. Apple's AI audio smart glasses are reportedly arriving this year per Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, entering a market where Meta owns the optometrist channel and Google is moving through Warby Parker.

Gary Shapiro has spent decades at the center of the global consumer technology industry, leading the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and building CES into one of the most important stages for innovation, policy, and deal-making on the planet.In this first episode of 2026, Gary joins Charlie, Rony, and Ted to preview CES, unpack the explosion of AI across every category, and deliver unusually blunt takes on tariffs, China, manufacturing, and U.S. innovation policy. He explains how CES has evolved from a TV-and-gadgets show into a global platform where boards meet, standards are set, and policymakers, chip designers, robotics firms, and health-tech startups all collide.In the News: Before Gary joins, the hosts break down Nvidia's $20 billion “not-a-deal” with Singapore's Groq, the stake in Intel, and what that combo might signal about the edge of the GPU bubble and the shift toward inference compute, x86, and U.S. industrial policy. They also dig into Netflix's acquisition of Ready Player Me and what it suggests about a Netflix metaverse and location-based entertainment strategy, plus Starlink's rapid growth and an onslaught of “AI everything” products ahead of CES.Gary walks through new features at this year's show: CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau for AI and quantum, expanded tracks on manufacturing, wearables, women's health, and accessibility, plus an AI-powered show app already fielding thousands of questions (top query: where to pick up badges).He also talks candidly about his biggest concern—that fragmented state-level AI regulation (1,200+ state bills in 2025) will crush startups while big players shrug—and why he believes federal standards via NIST are the only realistic path. The discussion ranges from AI-driven healthcare and precision agriculture to robotics, demographics, labor culture, global supply chains, and what CES might look like in 2056.5 Key Takeaways from Gary:AI is now the spine of CES. CES 2026 centers on AI as infrastructure: CES Foundry at the Fontainebleau for AI + quantum, AI training tracks for strategy, implementation, agentic AI, and AI-driven marketing, and an AI-powered app helping attendees navigate the show.Fragmented state AI laws are an existential risk for startups. Over 1,200 state AI bills in 2025—including proposals to criminalize agentic AI counseling—could create a compliance maze only large incumbents can survive, which is why Gary argues for federal standards via NIST.Wearables are becoming systems, not gadgets. Oura rings, wrist devices, body sensors, and subdermal glucose monitors are starting to be designed as interoperable families of devices, with partnerships emerging to combine data into unified health services.Robotics is breaking out of the industrial niche. CES will showcase the largest robotics presence yet, moving beyond factory arms and drones to humanoids, logistics, social companions, and applied AI systems across sectors.Tariffs, alliances, and AI will reshape manufacturing. Gary is skeptical of “Fortress USA” strategies that try to onshore everything, pointing instead to allied reshoring (Latin America, Europe, Japan, South Korea) and the long-term role of AI-powered robotics in changing labor economics and global supply chains.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

A SpaceX-Tesla merger may happen as soon as this year, according to comments from SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell during the company's June 12 IPO day. Speaking to CNBC as SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq at a $1.75 trillion valuation, Shotwell said a merger between Elon Musk's two trillion-dollar companies "might make Elon's life a little easier" and pointed to a "convergence" in what SpaceX and Tesla are building toward.This episode breaks down what Gwynne Shotwell actually said about the SpaceX Tesla merger, why analysts think it's now closer than ever, and what it means for Tesla shareholders. Shotwell told CNBC there are "synergies between Tesla and SpaceX in our futures, definitely," while keeping her near-term focus on rockets, Starlink, and the ISS. The quote landed on the same day SpaceX's market cap opened above $2 trillion, putting it ahead of Tesla as the sixth most valuable US company, and the same day Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire.The financial and operational ties between SpaceX and Tesla are already deep. Tesla invested $2 billion in xAI in January 2026, a stake that converted to nearly 19 million SpaceX shares when xAI merged into SpaceX in February. SpaceX has bought $697 million worth of Tesla Megapack energy storage and $131 million in Cybertrucks. The two companies jointly run Terafab, a $55 billion chip manufacturing project with Intel that will produce silicon for robotics and space. Total Tesla sales to SpaceX and xAI since 2023 are roughly $890 million.The most telling signal is in SpaceX's S-1 filing. Days before the IPO, SpaceX amended its risk factors to add: "We may issue a significant amount of equity in connection with future transactions." That language isn't necessary for small deals. It's the kind of disclosure that anticipates a merger the size of Tesla, which currently has a market cap of about $1.52 trillion.Wall Street is already pricing in the SpaceX Tesla merger thesis. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives puts the probability at 80-90% with a likely close in the first half of 2027 and calls a combined entity the "holy grail" for Musk's control of the AI ecosystem. Wolfe Research analyst Emmanuel Rosner says the IPO has turned the merger into a "core thesis" for many Tesla investors, citing stronger AI capabilities through xAI, expanded access to capital markets, and increased Musk voting control over the combined company. Musk already holds 85% voting power at SpaceX and roughly 13% of Tesla, which could climb to 25% if his November pay package targets hit.We cover what Gwynne Shotwell's IPO day comments actually mean, why the S-1 language is the strongest signal yet, what a combined SpaceX-Tesla company looks like under Elon Musk's voting control, how the Cursor acquisition and xAI absorption fit the same M&A pattern, and whether Tesla shareholders come out ahead in a stock-for-stock deal at current valuations.Keywords: SpaceX Tesla merger, Gwynne Shotwell, Elon Musk, SpaceX IPO, SPCX stock, Tesla stock, TSLA, xAI, $1.75 trillion valuation, Wedbush Dan Ives, Wolfe Research, Terafab, Musk trillionaire, AI M&A 2026, Tesla SpaceX synergies.

SpaceX's $1.75 trillion IPO wasn't just a liquidity event for Elon Musk. It was the final step in a four-year bailout of the investors who backed his $44 billion Twitter acquisition. The SpaceX IPO closed an "amalgamation escalator" that converted depreciated Twitter equity into premium SpaceX stock, delivering a nearly 200% return to the private partners who'd been stuck holding the bag since 2022.This episode breaks down how the Twitter-to-SpaceX pipeline actually worked. The mechanics: Twitter merged with xAI in March 2025 at a $33 billion valuation, wiping out Twitter's standalone losses on paper. xAI then merged into SpaceX in February 2026. When SpaceX went public in June at $1.75 trillion, every original Twitter investor (the Saudi PIF, Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Larry Ellison, Jack Dorsey) ended up holding SpaceX Class A shares worth roughly triple what they'd paid for the original Twitter position.The financial mechanics are clean. The governance questions aren't. SpaceX's multi-class share structure gives Musk absolute voting control regardless of his economic stake. The xAI absorption diluted core SpaceX value (launch and Starlink) to subsidize an AI division that lost $14 billion last year. And the $1.75 trillion valuation depends partly on SpaceX's pivot to space-based AI data centers, a technical bet that analysts are openly skeptical about.The SpaceX IPO also lands in the middle of an AI capex cycle that's pricing in perfection. Anthropic just filed for an IPO at $965 billion. OpenAI filed at $852 billion. SpaceX bought Cursor for $60 billion days after going public. The "Muskonomy" thesis (cross-subsidizing underperforming ventures with star assets, then taking the bundle public) only works if public market investors keep paying premium multiples on operational losses.This episode covers how Twitter equity got laundered into SpaceX stock, why the Saudi PIF was the biggest winner of the SpaceX IPO, what Musk's dual-class share structure means for minority shareholders, and whether the "amalgamation escalator" model becomes the template for the next wave of private-market exits.Keywords: SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk Twitter, $1.75 trillion valuation, xAI merger, Musk Twitter bailout, SpaceX Class A shares, amalgamation escalator, Saudi PIF, Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Muskonomy, AI IPO 2026, dual-class shares, space data centers.

As SpaceX stock soars, we talk IPOs for space and beyond. We also focus on the market's reaction to a new Iran ceasefire agreement, the implications of the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, and what these developments may signal about broader market conditions. We look over how IPOs have historically performed, why many high-profile offerings struggle after their debut, and whether SpaceX's valuation reflects genuine business fundamentals or investor enthusiasm. We also examined the economic impact of falling oil prices, shifting inflation expectations, upcoming Federal Reserve policy decisions, consumer spending trends, and why correlations often drive market narratives.  We discuss... The market's positive reaction to a renewed Iran ceasefire and the resulting drop in oil prices. Breakdown of the SpaceX IPO, its first-day performance, and why retail investors were eager to participate. How IPOs work and why many high-profile offerings historically decline after going public. Why company insiders often choose to take businesses public when valuations are most favorable. Past IPOs including Uber, Meta, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Rivian to illustrate common post-IPO price patterns. Whether SpaceX's valuation is justified by the strength of its Starlink business and launch operations. OpenAI, Anthropic IPO expectations and concerns about AI company valuations. How large IPOs can act as liquidity drains by attracting capital away from existing market leaders. Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire and what that signifies for investor sentiment. How falling energy prices could help reduce inflation and improve economic conditions. Upcoming Federal Reserve leadership changes and expectations for future interest rate policy. Consumer spending trends and the role of Baby Boomer wealth in supporting economic activity. Why investors should focus on correlations rather than assuming direct causation in market movements.

SpaceX priced its IPO at $135 per share on June 11 and began trading on the Nasdaq under ticker SPCX on June 12, raising roughly $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation - the largest initial public offering ever, dwarfing Saudi Aramco's $29B record from 2019. The stock opened at $150, jumped more than 20% intraday, and closed its first session at $161.11, up about 19% from the offer price. With about 556.6 million shares sold, SpaceX instantly became one of the most valuable companies ever to go public and gave public investors their first direct stake in Starlink and Starship.The U.S.-Iran confrontation that has kept the Strait of Hormuz contested for months drove another volatile week in energy markets, with crude having spiked toward triple digits earlier in the standoff before easing back toward the mid-$80s as diplomacy gained traction. Roughly 27% of seaborne crude moves through Hormuz, and analysts have warned prices could spike dramatically if the chokepoint stays disrupted. By Friday, Iranian media described a draft deal that would lift oil sanctions and reopen the Strait, with reports of a possible signing in Switzerland as soon as the weekend - sending crude down about 2% to near $85 and lifting risk assets.OpenAI said on June 8 that it had confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the SEC, the clearest signal yet that the AI leader is moving toward a public listing. Reporting puts the targeted valuation in the roughly $850 billion to $1 trillion range, building on the $852 billion post-money valuation from its March 2026 raise led by SoftBank and Microsoft. OpenAI has reportedly tapped Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to lead the deal, with a possible listing window stretching from September into Q4 2026.At WWDC on June 8, Apple unveiled Siri AI, a rebuilt assistant with conversation history, personal-context awareness, a dedicated Siri app, and customizable voice and pacing - the long-delayed AI overhaul it has been under pressure to deliver. The company also showed iOS 27, refinements to its Liquid Glass design language, new family-safety tools, and the next macOS, named Golden Gate. The event doubled as Tim Cook's final WWDC keynote as CEO; John Ternus is set to take over in September.Tesla and Elon Musk's xAI unveiled a joint project called Digital Optimus, billed as the first major outcome of Tesla's roughly $2 billion investment in xAI. The effort fuses Tesla's humanoid-robot hardware and efficiency with xAI's reasoning models, and Musk said a user-ready version could arrive within about six months - targeting roughly September 2026. The reveal deepens the cross-pollination between Musk's companies and lands alongside a June 12 signal from Musk that Tesla's partnership with Nvidia is heading to the next level.Anthropic launched the Claude Partner Network - including a new Services Track and Partner Hub - and committed an initial $100 million to help consulting firms, professional-services providers and specialist AI shops deploy Claude inside enterprises. The company said it will expand its partner-facing team roughly fivefold with applied AI engineers and technical architects, and reported early traction of more than 40,000 firm applications and over 10,000 certified consultants. It is a clear move to win the enterprise layer, where adoption is gated by integration and services rather than raw model quality.If you want a prize, send us a DM:instagram.com/rickerandbontiktok.com/@rickerandbonyoutube.com/@rickerandbon

Joey and Chris are back with a field recap from two days assisting the Monteith Shop's mule deer research in the Wyoming Range. Their work focused on fawn captures, a key part of understanding mule deer survival, reproduction, genetics, and how harsh or mild winters impact the herd. They explain how collared adult does, implant transmitters, satellite location "clusters," and telemetry help researchers locate birth sites and newborn fawns. Once found, each fawn is carefully processed for data like weight, measurements, and genetic samples before being safely returned. Tuesday brought a tough challenge with doe 338, who was believed to be carrying rare triplets. A premature VIT release led to a long, cold, steep hike, but with updated data and help from Ollin Company's Starlink setup, the team eventually found and processed one fawn later confirmed as hers. Wednesday went more smoothly, with Joey helping process a set of twins after a clearer VIT signal and birth site. The episode also highlights Ollin Company's live social coverage and the bigger picture of the Monteith Shop's research, which has been tracking mule deer in the region since 2013. Thank you to Ollin for the fantastic coverage.

SpaceX just made history, raising $75 billion in the largest IPO the stock market has ever seen, now trading on NASDAQ at a $1.8 trillion valuation. 7investing's Simon Erickson break downs what you actually need to know as an investor. The SpaceX empire spans X (formerly Twitter, 600M users), xAI (the Grok-powering AI infrastructure running out of the 2-gigawatt Colossus data center), and 10,000 Starlink satellites serving 10 million subscribers across 164 countries. The scale is genuinely unprecedented.But the numbers tell a more complicated story. SpaceX did $20 billion in revenue last year, pricing it at 90x trailing sales, and generated just $1 billion in Q1 operating cash flow against $10 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. The company is burning cash aggressively, and the entire long-term thesis rests on Elon Musk executing on missions no company has ever attempted: orbital data centers, Starship, and eventually a Mars colony. This isn't a software company where you flip a switch and double revenue. These are physical, capital-intensive bets measured in decades.Simon and Heather are both passing on the IPO. The key man risk alone, Elon simultaneously running SpaceX, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), X, and xAI, is the largest concentration of founder dependency in stock market history. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fans know this playbook: extraordinary vision, breakthrough results, but timelines that consistently slip years past what Elon says publicly. Full self-driving still isn't there. Orbital data centers won't be either, at least not on the schedule the prospectus implies.Near term, Starlink is the real business the only one generating meaningful cash flow and it's what will sustain SpaceX while Elon bets big on everything else. Expect another capital raise in 2026 and again in 2027. The real question for investors isn't whether SpaceX can change the world. It probably will. The question is whether a $1.8 trillion valuation gives you any margin of safety while it gets there. Right now, Simon and Heather say no.Join the conversation on the 7investing discord: https://discord.com/invite/PT9ZQqdXXSWant access to all our investing content?

SpaceX finally went public and made Elon a paper trillionaire, but the bigger story is what it says about America's ability to mobilize industry when it counts. Marty and John draw a line from that milestone to the geopolitical chessboard—whether the new US-Iran deal sticks, how Washington is using energy dominance and dollar leverage, and why Anthropic's Fable 5 got yanked by export controls. They also dig into Dario Amodei's AI roadmap, the Social Security math speeding toward 2032, and why the bond market may force a pro-liquidity future that makes US Bitcoin dominance impossible to ignore.

The Greatest MAGA Military Recruiting Ad Ever. Iran and US Say They Have a Deal. Hegseth: Ecuador and Guatemala Are Next. Fox Gobbles Up Roku. USA Soccer Wins Big! Even Though Trump Called Them.  Sports is our mirror. On Saturday night, that mirror reflected the best of America — a 53-years-in-the-making Knicks championship built on a diverse, humble, durable team led by Jalen Brunson, a man who shook every hand on the losing side because integrity is doing the right thing even when nobody's watching. On Sunday night, the mirror reflected something uglier: a UFC card on the White House lawn, locked behind a Paramount Plus paywall, with no women on the card, fight bonuses paid in Trump-family crypto, and sponsors ranging from Elon's Starlink to Turning Point USA. The White House, Paul argues, was openly for sale — and most fight fans loved it. In this solo Monday briefing, Paul connects the dots between a triumphant Knicks parade week, a wildly effective piece of military-recruiting propaganda dressed up as an octagon, a U.S. World Cup team that just dropped three on its opener, a fragile Iran ceasefire with none of the original objectives met, Hegseth telegraphing Ecuador and Guatemala as next on the “Donroe” Doctrine hit list, and Fox swallowing Roku for $22 billion. He closes where the show always closes — with Brooklyn bikers carrying Narcan, an Angry Middle that isn't homeless but free, and a reminder that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

The Iconic Edit Vol. 14 - In this week's episode of The Iconic Edit, we dive into a historic media and finance milestone: SpaceX's record-breaking $1.75 trillion public debut, making it the largest IPO in history. We break down what this massive shift means for the global economy, how Elon Musk's core assets like Starlink and XAI fit into the picture, and whether this concentrates too much power in the hands of one person. Beyond the trading floor, we tackle the massive cultural shifts reshaping entertainment and sports. From Taylor Swift's genius marketing partnership with Toy Story 5 and Jay-Z and Eminem's nostalgic reunion, to the internet completely cooking ESPN over its uncanny valley AI sports imagery, we look at why authenticity is winning. Plus, we explore how Broadway is staging a major, star-powered comeback and why independent podcasters are officially taking over World Cup coverage.

Three massive semiconductor and computing developments are reshaping the future of AI infrastructure — and 7investing's Simon Erickson sits down with Nick Rossalillo of Chip Stock Investor to break them all down. First up: Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS), which just went public on May 13th at $185/share (~$40 billion valuation) and is now trading near $46 billion at 90x trailing sales. The company's Wafer Scale Engine, a chip that uses an entire silicon wafer rather than individual diced chip, was designed specifically for AI inference workloads that NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs struggle to handle efficiently due to on-chip SRAM limitations. With potential $20 billion in orders from OpenAI and access via AWS, Cerebras is real, but neither Simon nor Nick is buying at this price. Their rule: wait a year before touching a fresh IPO.Next, SpaceX's freshly-raised $75 billion gets put under the microscope, specifically Elon's ambition to build orbital data centers. Nick walks through the SpaceX diagram: 70-meter solar panel wingspan, laser-based networking between compute modules, and the massive engineering challenges around power, heat dissipation, and in-orbit assembly. This isn't imminent, Starlink's next-gen constellation comes first — but if Elon can crack the economics, it would rewrite the rules of data center infrastructure entirely.Finally, Huawei's Tau Scaling announcement: a new architectural approach to chip performance that bypasses the need for extreme ultraviolet lithography (which China can't access due to ASML export controls). Tau temporal scaling focuses on minimizing signal travel time between transistors using logic folding, new materials, and 3D stacking. Huawei claims it could reach 1.5 nanometer equivalent performance by 2031. Simon and Nick are skeptical — 381 chips in six years is not mass production, and TSMC (NYSE:TSM) will be well past that node by then but it's worth watching as China continues building workarounds to Western export restrictions.Whether Moore's Law is dead or simply rerouting, the chipmaking industry is more innovative and more investable than it's been in decades.Join the conversation on the 7investing discord: https://discord.com/invite/PT9ZQqdXXSWant access to all 7investing research?

June 12, 2026: SpaceX made history with the largest IPO ever recorded, raising $75 billion in its NASDAQ debut and instantly becoming one of the most valuable companies in the United States. But under the hood, this isn't just a rocket company anymore. It's a bet on Starlink, reusable rockets, and xAI's massive AI infrastructure. Then I get into the first-ever appearance of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind leaders at the G7 Summit, and what it means when the most powerful AI companies in the world are now part of global policy conversations. Finally, I break down Jeff Bezos' $12 billion raise for Prometheus, a new company building an "artificial general engineer" that could reshape manufacturing, aerospace, pharma, defense, and the future of high-skill knowledge work.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-9-2026.JUNE 1957.Liz Peek discusses SpaceX's $1.78 trillion IPO, questioning whether valuations for AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are sustainable. She notes that Starlink's profitability supports Elon Musk's moonshots. Despite inflation concerns, strong domestic private investment is currently driving U.S. economic prosperity while Europe struggles with over-regulation and high energy costs. (1)Liz Peek examines the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America in blue cities like Seattle and Los Angeles. She argues establishment Democrats fail to counter radical socialist propaganda. Concerns are raised over candidates promoting the abolition of prisons, drug use without judgment, and anti-Israel positions funded by extremist-linked donor groups. (2)Jonathan Schanzer analyzes the downing of a US Army helicopter by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz. He notes Trump's focus on a potential economic siege over expensive military munitions. Schanzer discusses rumors of IRGCleadership decapitation by Israel and suggests the regime is flailing due to internal disarray and chaos. (3)Jonathan Schanzer discusses the Israeli offensive in Lebanon, noting that Iran's influence is shrinking. He highlights Qatar's role as a state sponsor of terrorism that buys American influence through massive investments, totaling hundreds of billions. Schanzer warns that Qatar and Turkey remain primary patrons for the radical Muslim Brotherhoodextremist group. (4)Mary Kissel addresses the Iranian standoff, emphasizing the threat of "impregnable" nuclear facilities at Pickaxe Mountain. She notes Iran uses the Strait of Hormuz as leverage. Additionally, Kissel praises Ukraine's innovative drone technology for creating a stalemate against Russia and fostering a burgeoning, globally sought-after military-industrial complex within the war-torn country. (5)Mary Kissel highlights a regional trend toward liberty and transparency in the Americas, citing recent elections in Peru, Chile, and Argentina. She credits voters for rejecting failed leftist policies and discusses figures like Nayib Bukele and Javier Milei, the latter implementing a conservative agenda that is successfully reducing soaring Argentine inflation. (6)Joseph Sternberg explains China's reform of the Hukou residency system, which has limited internal migration since the 1950s. By granting migrants access to urban social services like healthcare and education, Beijing aims to reduce high household saving rates and stimulate domestic consumption to revitalize its slowing, multi-trillion dollar communist national economy. (7)Joseph Sternberg describes the UK Labour Party's internal strife as it debates returning to Blairite centrism versus far-left socialism. He critiques Keir Starmer's lack of decisive leadership during an anemic economic period. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's Reform Party is successfully poaching Labour's traditional working-class voters in various important regional British parliamentary by-elections. (8)Gregory Copley analyzes the downing of a US helicopter off Oman, noting strategic differences between American and Israeli objectives. While the US seeks a deal, Israel aims for regime change. Copley highlights the weakened state of the IRGC leadership and discusses how new global oil sources are currently mitigating Iranian threats. (9)Gregory Copley reviews the historical failure of the Jimmy Carter administration during the Iranian hostage crisis. He explains that President Trump refuses to be "Jimmy Carter," instead seeking the total collapse of the IRGC leadership. Copley argues that internal public response in Iran is far more effective than military commando raids. (10)Gregory Copley reports on a rare Ebola outbreak and jihadi threats in Central Africa. He notes that local governments fail to fund necessary healthcare infrastructure, relying instead on outside aid. Additionally, Copley details the ongoing Ethiopian civil war and the complex regional power struggle over control of the vital Red Sea. (11)Gregory Copley discusses Prince Harry's desire to return to Britain due to financial depletion. He notes the lack of trust from King Charles and Prince William, and the dissipated public affection for the Duke. Copley also references his new book on the authority and success of constitutional monarchy as practiced today. (12)Josh Blackman traces the modern history of the death penalty from the 1972 Furman case to 1976's Gregg v. Georgia. He critiques the "evolving standards of decency" doctrine used by the Warren Court, arguing it reflects the views of elites rather than the constitution or the broader American general voting public. (13)Josh Blackman examines the Atkins v. Virginia ruling, which prohibits executing individuals with low IQs. He highlights the subjectivity of IQ tests and the lack of constitutional basis for such standards. Blackman notes that defendants now have incentives to intentionally fail these tests to avoid the death penalty in federal court. (14)Peter Huessy discusses US plans to deploy nuclear-capable F-35s in Europe to counter Russian threats. He explains Russia's "escalate to win" doctrine involving low-yield battlefield nukes for "surgical" strikes. Huessy warns that Russiapossesses thousands of non-strategic weapons, far exceeding current NATO theater capabilities and its lack of transparent weaponry numbers. (15)Peter Huessy details China's growing non-strategic nuclear arsenal and dual-use delivery systems. He explains that Beijing believes it can control escalation to keep the US out of the Western Pacific. Huessy emphasizes that NATOlacks a comparable response in Asia, as the US withdrew similar theater weapons in 1991. (16)

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including chaos erupting on the House floor after Congressman Max Miller accused Rashida Tlaib of having ties to Hezbollah during a heated debate over her resolution demanding President Trump withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon; House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast escalating the fight by attempting to enter documents into the congressional record concerning Tlaib's alleged associations with extremist groups; and SpaceX preparing for what could become the largest IPO in history, potentially valuing Elon Musk's company at $1.75 trillion and making Musk the world's first trillionaire as Starlink emerges as the company's biggest source of revenue, and much more.
