• SpaceX and CoreWeave Inc. were among the biggest casualties in a broad-based credit slump due to renewed fears of tighter regulation on the artificial intelligence industry.
  • The yields on one of CoreWeave’s bonds soared to a record high of more than 17%, while the cost of insuring SpaceX’s debt against default also rose to its highest level ever.
  • Market watchers warned that a Democratic rout could strengthen the party’s ability to scrutinize Elon Musk’s conduct and impede an anticipated tie-up between Space X and Tesla Inc.

      im a bit conflicted. hate the sattelites but like the reusable rockets. I mean the tech is already out there so im sure someone would take up the slack. unfortunately there are likely to be half a dozen different sattelite internet swarms eventually regardless.

        He will get it. Space X is now the only domestic source of volume orbit launch capabilities. It’s a “national security issue” if it goes under. which is probably why Musk has been tying all his other failing garbage like XAI into SpaceX.
