The article argues founder-led businesses often have leaders with large personal stakes and long-term outlooks, and highlights three such stocks. Newcleo (NWCL) develops modular lead-cooled fast reactors and MOX fuel under founder CEO Claudio Garo, generating about €44 million from electric equipment with a market value near $1.8b; it has ongoing losses and a premium P/S multiple, so outcomes depend heavily on execution of long-dated projects. Tesla (TSLA), still steered by Elon Musk, generated about US$90.8b from Automotive and US$12.8b from Energy Generation and Storage, with a market value near US$1.4t. The company is pursuing AI, robotaxis, humanoid robotics and battery storage, while competition in energy storage is intensifying.

- 3 Founder Led Stocks With Revenue Growth Up To 17%
The article argues that founder-led companies can appeal to investors as global regulators tighten financial rules, since founders often remain heavily invested in long-term success. Tesla, still shaped by Elon Musk, generates about US$90.8b from its Automotive segment and US$12.8b from Energy Generation and Storage, with a market value of roughly US$1.40t, while pursuing ambitious bets in AI, robotaxis, humanoid robotics and battery storage, where the article notes competition in energy storage is intensifying. Sweetgreen, led by Jonathan Neman, is pushing digital ordering and farm-to-table sourcing and generates about US$681.8 million from company-owned locations, with a market value of roughly US$1.2 billion. However, restaurant-level margins fell to 13.1%, with food, beverage and packaging at 29.8% of revenue and labor at 29.2%, and the article says higher input and wage pressure may consume much of a 150 basis point cost-of-sales opportunity and leave net margins weaker.
- Elon Musk Says He Will Give One SPCX Share To Every US Child Next Year – ‘Will Be First Of Many’
SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said he plans to give one SPCX share to every U.S. child next year, calling it “the first of many.” With around 70 million Americans under 18 and SPCX closing near $146 on Friday, the gift would be worth about $10.2 billion, a little more than 1% of the six-plus billion SpaceX shares Musk controls. Implementation details remain unclear, including eligibility, which share class would be used, how shares would be transferred to minors, and tax treatment; the plan could be tied to Trump Accounts, which SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and her husband supported in July for more than two million children, valued at about $325 million at the time. SpaceX is scheduled to report earnings after the bell on Tuesday, with analysts expecting EPS of $0.13 on revenue of $13.02 billion.
- Elon Musk Says AI And Robots Are The Only Way To Solve America's $40 Trillion Debt Problem — 'We're Not Gonna Save Our Way There'
Elon Musk told biographer Walter Isaacson, in a podcast interview reported by Axios, that the US national debt can only be solved with AI and robots, not by trying to save its way out. Musk said his time leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) showed how hard it is to cut the deficit from within government, because cutting wasteful spending means you make a lot of enemies. The U.S. national debt stood at roughly $40.39 trillion as of Oct. 15, according to Treasury data cited in the report. He added that he should have focused on AI sooner and been more in the background during his time in the Trump administration. The article also notes Tesla's shift toward robotics, and Musk's claim that AI and robots could enable universal high income, a view criticized by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

- Why Meta's Q3 earnings could be a little hard to interpret
Meta is reporting its third-quarter earnings after the market closes Wednesday, and Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi says the report will be hard to interpret. Recent good news on Meta's AI products, including new models and an AI agent, may not appear directly in the results but will likely be discussed on the earnings call. The key uncertainty is how investors will react if Meta raises its capex outlook again: it could be seen as fueling those products, or as overspending on offerings not yet reflected in financials. Sozzi expects the market to give Meta the benefit of the doubt on higher capex, as long as the increase does not shock investors.
- Zerohash rolls out a new tool to move crypto without copying wallet addresses
Zerohash launched AUTH, a service that lets users move crypto, stablecoins and blockchain-based stock tokens between linked exchange accounts or self-custody wallets without copying wallet addresses or choosing a blockchain network. To transfer, users pick an account in an app that offers AUTH, sign in and approve the move, while the service handles routing and settlement and each app sets which assets and transfer types it allows. AUTH supports more than 600 connections, including Coinbase, Robinhood, Gemini, MetaMask and Phantom, with Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini live and Kraken in beta. The launch comes as Zerohash's application for a national trust bank charter, returned by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in July, remains pending after a narrower refiling on Aug. 18.
- 2 charts show why Wall Street is right to worry about tech stocks
Rising cost of capital could affect the financial statements of hyperscalers such as Oracle (ORCL) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) in 2027, as they need fresh debt to fund AI infrastructure and free cash flow may turn negative. JPMorgan strategist Mislav Matejka forecasts hyperscaler free cash flow will turn negative in 2027, implying credit markets will drive more of the AI build-out. Consensus estimates for 2027 capital expenditures are already rising from levels experts believe are too low. Morgan Stanley sees total 2027 capex among hyperscalers reaching $1.6 trillion, up from $978 billion estimated for this year. Dan Ives of Yorkville expects capex to reach the trillions and over 1,000 datacenters to be built in the next few years.

- Nvidia wins CPU business from Modal, previously exclusive to AMD and Intel
Modal, a San Francisco-based AI cloud startup that previously ran its AI agent workloads only on Intel and AMD processors, will begin using Nvidia's new Vera CPU. Early tests showed the Nvidia chip doubled work capacity for AI agents, and Modal plans to run it alongside Intel and AMD chips, assigning each task to the most efficient hardware, though integration requires substantial software changes. Modal recently raised $750 million in a round led by Accel at a $15.75 billion valuation and expects $1 billion in sales over the next year, with usage tripled and revenue up more than 15 times year-over-year. Nvidia projects at least $20 billion in Vera chip revenue this fiscal year in a market it estimates at about $200 billion, and says OpenAI, Anthropic, Oracle and Perplexity also plan to use the chips.
- America's EV Plans Have Died
Billions of dollars went into EV factories, dealerships and marketing after President Biden set a goal for 50% of new US car sales to be zero-emission by 2030, but EV sales have since fallen sharply. US EV sales dropped 30.7% in the first nine months of 2026, after the $7,500 tax credit expired on September 30 last year, and gas prices near $4.50 per gallon have done little to lift them. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average transaction price of a new EV was $54,754 in August, above the $50,089 average for all new cars. Ford's EV sales fell 80.2% to 6,047 in the third quarter, and it has no new EV planned until its Fathom launches next year, while Tesla holds over 50% of the market and no other major automaker has even 10%. The article says EVs could recover if gas prices reach $5 and stay there for months, but that is uncertain.
