AI startups are becoming economic giants in real time.
34 leading AI companies are now generating nearly $80 billion in annualized revenue, and that number has more than doubled in just 6 months 👀
Anthropic and OpenAI alone now account for almost 89% of that revenue, showing how fast frontier AI is turning into one of the most valuable industries on Earth.
Meanwhile companies like Perplexity, ElevenLabs, and Cognition have already crossed $500M in annualized sales.
This is what the early stages of a technological supercycle look like.

SpaceX is absolutely dominating the entire planet in orbital mass
As of 2026:
• Total Global Mass to Orbit: ~969.6 metric tonnes
• SpaceX: ~841.0 tonnes (86.7%)
• Rest of the World: ~128.6 tonnes (13.3%)
SpaceX alone has launched over 86% of all mass to orbit this year till date
No one else is even close or even all of them combined

🚨SPACEX PRE-IPO MARKET OPENS WITH HISTORIC $2.2T VALUATION SIGNAL
Pre-IPO perpetual futures tied to SpaceX are now live on Hyperliquid under the ticker $SPCX, launched at $150/share before rapidly surging above $200.
At current pricing, the market is implying a valuation near $2.2 TRILLION, a level that makes SpaceX one of the 6 most valuable companies in America and potentially the largest IPO in financial history.

$BOT, a closed-end robotics fund that listed on NASDAQ just days ago, is already trading at more than 5x of its NAV.
That’s the premium investors are willing to pay for liquid exposure to blue-chip humanoid names like Figure, Apptronik and others.

BlackRock is trying to buy 13% of the entire SpaceX IPO in one order.
- They want $5 to $10 billion of the $75 billion raise
- BlackRock manages $11.5 trillion in total assets
- They’re deploying from their conviction funds, not index funds
- The IPO is already 10x oversubscribed before BlackRock even entered
- Retail gets 30%. BlackRock alone wants 13%
- Institutions are fighting over the rest like sharks
- Ticker: SPCX. Nasdaq. June 12
The largest asset manager on the planet just gave you alpha and you are not paying attention.

Ron Baron on CNBC:
1. Starlink will be worth up to $14T
2. SpaceX will be worth $10T - $30T or more
3. $1B IPO order
4. Would NOT bet on SpaceX-Tesla merger
5. Terafab saves big margins, 50X chips needed
6. Never bet against a guy with superpowers who will never give up

Dario Amodei's ONLY goal is to give Anthropic as much compute as possible. If his master plan goes through, he will, without a doubt, win the AI race.
No CAREER ARC in history looks like this one
Dario Amodei left OpenAI in 2021.
took a handful of people with him. started Anthropic.
5 years later:
- surpassed OpenAI at $1 TRILLION Valuation.
- $30B annualized revenue vs OpenAI $25B
- Claude code alone went from $0 to $1B in 6 months

THIS IS UNUSUAL:
🇺🇸 Donald Trump made 3,700+ stock trades in Q1 2026.
40 per day.
One every 6 minutes.
Up 100%+ on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell, Seagate, SanDisk, Iridium, Intuitive Machines, Penguin Solutions and Vishay.
Up 20%+ on nearly every other name in the book.
Funny how all of these companies have direct dealings with his administration: chips, defense, energy, AI infrastructure.
Greatest trader on Wall Street?
Or greatest information edge in Washington?

Wild usecase of robotics.
An exoskeleton moves a expert pianist’s fingers at high speed, nudging them to execute faster keystrokes than they normally can, so the brain gets used to a higher “speed setting” and can break past a performance plateau.

Our humanoid robots have now crossed 100,000 packages!
As a reminder, this is happening fully autonomous. The robots are networked together to run 24/7 operations

Meanwhile, China’s robot is throwing flying kicks like it joined an action movie, while USA’s robot is calmly packing boxes like the shift manager is watching.
Who wins in the long run?
The one that can challenge real environments and master complex movement, or the one that stays focused and gets the job done?

Robots do not need to be superhuman. They just need to be good enough.
No fatigue. No bathroom breaks. 24/7 work. Autonomous battery swaps.
Once that is reliable, blue collar work is cooked within 10 years or less.
