The day’s biggest thread is the messy, money-shaped convergence between AI compute and Musk’s day jobs. SpaceX posted its first operating profit as a public company, driven by “Super Intelligence” AI-compute leasing that brought in $7.56 billion in revenue—nearly tripling quarter over quarter. That profit milestone lands alongside Tesla and SpaceX forming special board committees to evaluate a potential merger valued at roughly $3.5 trillion combined, even as Elon Musk says he’s barred from talks as a conflicted party. The near-term implications may be mostly corporate paperwork rather than a new robot fleet, but the direction is clear: rockets, satellites, and ground connectivity are being treated as part of the same AI supply chain as vehicles, robotics, and compute.
