SpaceX
SpaceX dominates global commercial rocket launches and operates Starlink, the world's largest satellite internet constellation. It went public on NASDAQ (SPCX) on June 12, 2026 in the largest IPO in history, debuting at a valuation of roughly $1.77 trillion and closing its first trading day near a $2.1 trillion market cap. SpaceX has unveiled its AI1 Compute Satellite, a 230-foot orbital data center satellite designed to sustain 120 kilowatts of average compute output (bursting to 150 kilowatts), and is separately in talks with Google regarding Google's Project Suncatcher orbital TPU data center initiative.

Reignited chatter about a possible Tesla-SpaceX merger
30% confidenceElon Musk has reportedly discussed with colleagues the possibility of merging Tesla and SpaceX into a single combined entity, which analysts estimate could be valued at roughly $3.35-3.6 trillion — spanning rockets, satellites, electric vehicles, AI infrastructure, and energy storage.
Reported by CNBC, citing people familiar with the discussions; no merger has been proposed formally or confirmed by either company, and prediction markets place the odds well under even.

Disputed $52B Foxconn AI-server order — reported by Taiwanese press, denied by Musk
25% confidenceTaiwan's Economic Daily reported that Foxconn secured a contract to build more than 13,000 NVIDIA GB300 server racks (up to 936,000 GPUs) for SpaceX's Colossus data centers, valued at an estimated $52 billion — a figure derived from an assumed per-rack cost rather than a disclosed contract price.
Reported by Taiwanese financial press; Elon Musk publicly called the report "fake news" on X, while the original report described talks as ongoing and potentially still able to fall through — the two accounts directly conflict.
