SpaceX / Tesla
S&P inclusion
S&P will regret this:
- now it's Elon deciding when SpaceX gets included, by merging with Tesla. This means that the surviving entity will replace the Tesla ticker in the S&P 500, the day the merger is consumed. None of the "we are debating" BS from S&P anymore
- I am certain that many investors will want index funds who have SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI in them. Well, they will move to Nasdaq 100 rather than S&P index funds. Which means less royalties for S&P.
S&P has never been friendly with Elon's company, that's not news. But now the power has switched sides.
This might accelerate the merger, which I consider great news.
SpaceX has officially announced that @Starlink now has over 12 million active customers, up from 10.2M in March 2026 and 9M last December.
Starlink added a record ~27,700 new customers on average per day since they hit 10.2 million customers.
The first Starlink version 3 satellites are expected to launch later this year, which will bring gigabit connectivity, a 20X in capacity and a massive increase in bandwidth.
🚨INDIAN H-1B WORKERS LEAVING TEXAS IN DROVES—HOME PRICES PLUNGE 9%
Trump’s H-1B visa crackdown is triggering a housing bust in Dallas suburbs like Frisco, Celina, and Prosper.
New $100,000 visa fees, higher salary requirements, and state-level freezes on H-1B petitions, combined with AI-driven tech layoffs, have forced many Indian workers to leave the country within 60 days of losing their jobs.
As a result, home prices in Collin County suburbs have dropped nearly 9% year-over-year, builders are stuck with 125 unsold luxury homes, and foreclosures have risen 44%.
