Christmas Eve 2008. Tesla closed a funding round in the final hour, days from bankruptcy. Elon Musk put in all his money & assets, borrowed from friends just to pay rent. If it missed, payroll would have bounced two days after Christmas.

"Modern fashion is stuck. Everything still looks like 2015 & we have not moved the needle in years. Past decades had clear styles while today suits barely change. We should evolve our look and bring back bolder, cooler ideas for a new vibe." 一 Elon Musk

JENSEN HUANG: “I just want everybody in the world to hear that you said I build bigger things than you do.” 😄 ELON MUSK: “You do! The data centers are very enormous.”

Peter Diamandis: @SpaceX has the potential to become the world’s first $10 trillion company “Well, if anybody can do it, Elon can. I think this has the potential to really be the first $10 trillion company out there and growing. He’s building civilizational-level infrastructure. The challenge is, I don’t think the market knows how to value this company. It’s not a company, it’s really four different businesses wrapped into one vertical, and you have to look at each individually. “The first business is global communications with Starlink. Starlink is going to deliver global gigabit connectivity to the entire planet, billions of individuals. They’re just making a dent right now. Then they’re going direct satellite-to-cell phone. As Gwynne said on the earnings call yesterday, that’s a $600 billion level of revenue potential, and they expect to take a chunk of that. “The second business is delivering AI compute. They’ve already signed up $20 billion in annualized revenue, and they’re building faster than anybody else. They announced two gigawatts of compute by the end of this year and are shooting for upwards of 10 gigawatts next year… Elon said they’re launching their first AI satellites in partnership with Nvidia in 2027, much faster than anybody thought.”

BREAKING: Wall Street firms kept bullish ratings on SpaceX after its Q2 earnings call. Goldman raised its target to $220, JPMorgan to $240, and Raymond James kept its $800 target. Wall Street remains confident in SpaceX’s long-term Starlink, Starship and AI growth.

BREAKING: JPMorgan raised its SpaceX price target from $225 to $240 following the company’s earnings and maintained its Overweight rating. With SpaceX trading near $117, the new target is more than double the current price.

BREAKING: NASA Chief Jared Isaacman says America leads the world in reusable rockets as NASA moves to build a Moon base, and SpaceX’s Starship could help turn it into a small city. “We’re building a moon base… We looked at how transformational reusable rockets have been here just meeting our low Earth orbit requirements. Falcon 9 was a total game changer… We’re going to leverage reusable rockets to build the moon base… Then you’ve got the heavy lift vehicles like what Starship is capable of doing, which is fully reusable. That’s what allows you to put lots of mass on the surface of the moon. That’s what will take it from a small little outpost to potentially something that may even look like a small city someday… We’ve made a ton of progress. America leads the world in this regard… SpaceX has recovered more than 600 of their boosters by bringing them back in a spectacular way to land on ships and land back on land… Once you have reusable upper stages like Starship is doing, you’re not going to be throwing them away. You’re going to be turning them, landing them on the moon, and they’re going to contribute to the city block you’re trying to build on the lunar surface.”

BREAKING: NASA chief Jared Isaacman says SpaceX’s fully reusable Starship could help build a Moon base that may one day grow into a small city. “We’re going to leverage reusable rockets to build the Moon base… You’ve got the heavy-lift vehicles, like what Starship is capable of doing, which is fully reusable… That’s what allows you to put lots of mass on the surface of the Moon. That’s what will take it from a small little outpost to potentially something that may even look like a small city someday.”

Dan Ives on SpaceX: “The Capex tug of war between SpaceX and investors is a necessary buildout that will require patience.” “The reality is that the gold at the end of the rainbow is around data & AI. SpaceX is going after that opportunity, & I think that’s what they’re doing. It speaks to xAI and ultimately what probably could be Tesla as well. That’s the broader vision of Musk.”

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs raised its SpaceX price target to $220 following earnings and maintained its Buy rating, highlighting progress in AI. With SpaceX trading near $110, Goldman’s new target is almost 100% higher. 🚀

BREAKING: All three solar plants contracted to supply Tesla in Spain are now fully operational 🇪🇸 Zelestra has achieved full commercial operation at Brazatortas I, II & IV in Castilla-La Mancha: • ~75 MWdc combined solar capacity • 57 MWac contracted for Tesla • ~145 GWh of total annual generation • ~130 GWh of renewable electricity annually for Tesla • Delivered by Zelestra’s in-house EPC team The latest milestone is that these projects are no longer under construction, they’re online and ready to support Tesla’s Spanish operations.
