Finally, Some Good News for Billionaire Elon Musk As He’s Set To Become The World’s First Trillionaire

Just when you thought you were doing well because your crypto wallet didn’t totally tank this morning, Elon Musk is about to make everyone else look like they are working for pocket change. Get ready to welcome the world’s very first trillionaire, courtesy of a casual little event called the SpaceX initial public offering.

According to a fresh regulatory filing, SpaceX is officially heading to the Nasdaq on June 12th under the ticker SPCX. The rocket company is aiming to scoop up a cool $75 billion in proceeds by offering a set price of $135 a share. Because when you’re launching giant metal tubes into orbit, who needs a standard price range anyway? 

To the moon? More like straight to the bank

At that $135 IPO price, Musk’s 42% equity stake in the company is going to be worth an eye-watering $866.5 billion on paper. Combine that with his $301 billion worth of Tesla stock, and his holdings in just those two companies will hit roughly $1.168 trillion.

The math wizards over at Bloomberg are keeping things conservative due to share lock-ups, pinning his technical net worth at around $988 billion right at the launch. But let’s be honest: the second the opening bell rings on June 12th, and people start buying up shares, he’s blasting straight past the trillion-dollar mark.

Who cares about the cash burn anyway?

Now, the boring corporate governance nerds are already pointing out some red flags.

SpaceX has actually been running annual losses because building massive Starship rockets and running xAI data centers like “Colossus” costs a pretty penny. Plus, Elon’s dual-class share setup gives him a massive 82% of the voting power, meaning he basically controls the whole ship.

But investors are completely looking past the cash burn because, well, it’s SpaceX and they want a piece of Starlink’s massive satellite internet revenue.

So, while we are all out here waiting for our favorite memecoins to finally hit $0.01 and reading this article, Elon is out here casually planning his trillionaire victory lap. So who’s really winning, eh?

Your Next Monthly Utility Bill Might Literally Just Be For Thinking: Sam Altman’s Latest Prediction

Just when you thought you were finally getting a handle on your finances by skipping the daily Starbucks and canceling that streaming subscription you haven’t watched since 2024, the tech overlords have arrived with some fantastic news. Get ready to add “thinking” next to electricity and water on your monthly chore list.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dropped by the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit in Washington, DC, to deliver a casual reality check: Artificial Intelligence is probably going to be sold like a basic utility. That’s right, guys. In the near future, you may be buying your AI by the meter.

Juice, Water, and… Chatbots?

According to the chief GPT-wrangler himself, the future of the entire AI model industry is fundamentally going to look like selling “tokens” – the data units used to price inputs and outputs. “We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter,” Altman stated.

So, if you thought your electric bill was rough during a summer heatwave, just wait until you see the bill after your AI assistant spends 72 hours straight trying to optimize your meme stock portfolio or drafting the perfect apology text to your ex.

Can we top up our AI meter at the store?

The issue here isn’t just OpenAI wanting to keep the lights on. It’s a massive infrastructure bottleneck. Right now, tech giants are throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at “compute capacity”, the absolute raw processing horsepower needed to run these massive models. AMD’s CEO Lisa Su even noted at CES that the world will need a mind-boggling scale of compute over the next five years to keep up.

If companies can’t build data centers fast enough, Altman warned that AI prices will rocket out of control, leaving the tech exclusive to the hyper-wealthy. Even Elon Musk recently weighed in on a podcast, noting that electricity generation itself is becoming the ultimate limiting factor in scaling AI. Read more about Elon’s latest AI issues here.

Essentially, the tech world is running out of juice. So next time you ask an AI to write a rap battle between Trump and whoever he’s arguing with this week, just remember: Do you have enough on your meter?

Google to Unleash 32 Million Mutant Mosquitoes Across the US Because Search Ads Weren’t Annoying Enough

Just when you thought it was safe to step outside without getting drained of your life force by a cloud of flying vampires, Google has entered the chat. Yes, the company that knows your search history, your location, and what you ate for breakfast now wants to control the local insect population.

Tech giant Alphabet is reportedly drawing up plans to drop a casual 32 million mosquitoes across Florida and California. But before you start panic-buying every can of bug spray at Walmart, there’s a twist: these aren’t your average backyard pests. They’re actually biological secret agents designed to take down their own kind from the inside.

Google, Maps, And… Swarms Of Flying Bugs?

The tech behemoth has officially asked the EPA for permission to roll out the project, and Uncle Sam is giving the public until June 5 to weigh in. If approved, this will mark the single largest deployment of its kind in US history.

The science behind it sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi flick. The mosquitoes are infected with a specific bacteria called Wolbachia. When these lab-grown boys mate with wild females, the eggs don’t hatch. It basically turns the local mosquito population into a giant, tragic episode of The Bachelor where nobody gets a rose and everyone slowly goes extinct.

Better Than An AdBlocker

While it sounds insane, Google’s “Debug Project” actually has some serious runs on the board. A previous trial in California’s Central Valley almost completely wiped out mosquitoes in three test sites. Meanwhile, a trial over in Singapore managed to slash dengue fever cases by a massive 70% in just one year.

To date, Google has already deployed over 1 billion of these little guys across four continents. It turns out they’re much better at debugging real life than they are at fixing the YouTube app.

Google’s Ultimate Terms Of Service Update

Naturally, the internet is having a field day with the news. Some users are wondering if the bugs will come with unskippable 15-second ads, while others are just relieved that California and Florida finally found something they can agree on: hating bugs.

Whether this massive swarm completely saves the summer or turns into the plot of a B-list horror movie remains to be seen. But if you want to have your say before Google turns the skies into a literal beta test, you’ve got until June 5 to let the EPA know. Otherwise, get ready for the ultimate system update.
