Alpine Macro beautifully explained what the playbook could be for SpaceX:

Stage 1 (near-term): Scarcity + retail FOMO + passive index buying force a squeeze higher. Indexes absorb 20% of SpaceX float in the first 15 trading days. Stage 2 (months out): Lock-ups expire → insiders sell → float balloons → passive funds scale rebalance → pressure on largest, most liquid names (i.e. Big Tech) Here's a visual that sums it up. The real risk isn't the IPOs failing. It's them succeeding too well, too fast.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has intervened in a lawsuit against Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, arguing that its Colossus 2 data center is critical to U.S. national security.

The NAACP sued xAI in April 2026 under the Clean Air Act, alleging the company was operating gas turbines without the necessary permits to power its AI facility. The turbines are located in Southaven, Mississippi, near the data center in Memphis, Tennessee. According to the lawsuit, the number of turbines has increased from 27 to 57 since the case was filed. xAI maintains that the turbines are exempt from Mississippi permitting requirements because they are mounted on trailers and classified as temporary mobile equipment. On Monday, the DOJ filed court documents arguing that shutting down the turbines could harm U.S. national, economic, and energy security. The department stated that the facility supports military AI capabilities. A declaration from the Defense Department's Chief Digital and AI Officer, Cameron Stanley, said Grok is one of only four AI models approved for mission-critical use on classified U.S. government networks and has been utilized in recent military operations involving Iran. The DOJ, xAI, and the State of Mississippi are jointly seeking dismissal of the lawsuit. Source: Bull Theory
