Elon Musk is on the verge of making history:

If SpaceX goes public at a $1.5 trillion valuation, his stake alone would be valued at $625 billion.

This would raise his total net worth to an unprecedented $952 billion.

According to Polymarket, there is currently a 67% probability that SpaceX’s IPO market capitalization will exceed $1 trillion.

Elon Musk may soon become the first trillionaire in history.

Innovation pays.

The Oracle situation:

Oracle ($ORCL) is down more than -11% after hours following its earnings release, which has dragged the broader AI trade lower.

Futures are currently off -1%. But is this reaction justified?

To start, Oracle raised CapEx guidance by $15 billion for 2026.
Throughout the year, investors have consistently rewarded companies for increasing CapEx, so what changed this time?

The primary concern now centers on Oracle’s debt profile. Investors are questioning how this expanded CapEx will be financed.

The key point, however, is that Oracle is borrowing because demand is surging, and taking on debt is less costly than missing the AI revolution.

This mirrors the exact strategy Microsoft and Amazon pursued between 2012 and 2017.

Moreover, Oracle’s debt burden remains manageable, with leverage multiples still below many of its peers.

In our view, this reflects another swing of sentiment back toward the narrative that “AI is a bubble,” following a strong rally and a dovish Fed meeting.

The after-hours decline in tech stocks appears to be an overreaction.

We continue to expect asset owners to come out ahead.
