- What to say to the skeptics during Elon Musk's five-day run
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi reviews Elon Musk's five-day run, which included unveiling an electric Tesla (TSLA) car that he says can fly and perform barrel rolls, and a plan to give every kid in the U.S. one share of SpaceX (SPCX) starting next year. Sozzi responds to skeptics who view these moves as a distraction from weak upcoming earnings at SpaceX and Tesla, or as an effort to repair Musk's image after DOGE, arguing that critics should look at the facts. He says the share giveaway could be worth billions of dollars and that the past five days have been remarkable for Musk and the country, while stating he is not simply fanboying for Musk.
- TSLA Stock Rises Overnight: Musk Bets Tesla’s Value On Optimus, Cybercab — Analyst Sees Flying ‘Halo Car’ Luring Buyers
Tesla (TSLA) shares rose 1% overnight after Elon Musk said the Optimus robot and Cybercab robotaxi would account for most of the company’s value, following the recent unveiling of the flying Roadster. Morningstar calls the Roadster a “halo car” that could lift demand across Tesla’s lineup, with production expected in 2028 and fewer than 2,000 annual deliveries forecast. Musk claimed a peak speed above 0.5 Mach (about 400 mph), while AI researcher Yann LeCun dismissed the demo as impractical, estimating the compressed-air thrust would last less than 10 seconds. Reservations cost $50,000 for Performance and $250,000 for Thrust, but the car is not approved for public roads. Tesla reports earnings on Wednesday, after TSLA fell 7% last week.
- Tesla (TSLA) Gets A Lift From China’s $37 Billion Subsidies And EV Tipping Point
Tesla is among the beneficiaries of China's new ¥270b (about US$37b) subsidy program for smart and green technology, which covers devices such as smartphones, laptops and electric vehicles. Elon Musk pointed to a global tipping point, with gasoline-only vehicles now below 50% of new car sales worldwide. The article says the subsidies support Tesla's EV demand, but heavy capital spending and thinner automotive margins remain concerns. The key test will be Tesla's reported deliveries and FSD subscription counts in China over the next few quarters.
- Breaking down Tesla's flying car: self-refilling high-pressure gas thrusters and inverted climbs powered by fan suction
At SpaceX's Texas test site, Tesla publicly demonstrated the Roadster's flight capability for the first time, climbing an inverted track to about 21 meters before detaching and landing using gas thrusters. Thrust comes from high-pressure compressed gas stored in carbon-fiber tanks totaling 600 liters rather than from burning fuel, with 10 nozzles producing over 80 kilonewtons, and the car can refill its gas tanks itself. Underbody fan suction, equivalent to about 2G, holds the car to the track during inverted climbs. In a night demo, the car cleared five parked Teslas, including a Semi truck, reaching about 7 meters. On-site measurement showed 0 to 96 km/h in 0.81 seconds, versus 1 second in an earlier Tesla video.
- Elon Musk Says Tesla Roadster Could Be ‘Greatest Product Demo of All Time’ — Is This the Hovering Car Featuring SpaceX Tech?
Elon Musk said the upcoming Tesla Roadster, set to debut October 15, could be the 'greatest product demo of all time,' quoting his own post and referencing Back to the Future films. The debut was originally planned for October 1 but was delayed due to unfavorable weather, as the event will be held outdoors, fueling speculation that the car could hover using SpaceX technology from the Falcon 9 rocket. Gerber Kawasaki Wealth Management CEO Ross Gerber questioned why the car would need hovering capability and suggested it may be a limited-run vehicle. In pre-market trading Thursday, Tesla shares fell 1.79% to $360.60 after closing at $367.16 on Wednesday, and are down 18.36% year to date.
- Elon Musk Sees ‘Almost All Cars’ Going Electric as Gasoline-Only Vehicles Fall Below Half of Global Sales
Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed optimism that almost all future cars will be electric, after gasoline-only vehicles fell below 50% of global new-vehicle sales for the first time. According to Mobility Global data reported by Nikkei, pure gasoline cars made up 49% of sales from January to June 2026, down 3 percentage points, while EVs accounted for 17%; gasoline-only share had been 73% in 2021. Mobility Global forecasts EVs will exceed 30% of total vehicle production by 2030, overtaking hybrids and conventional engine vehicles. On Kalshi, bettors price a 45% chance that EVs top 30% market share by 2030 and a 24% chance they account for half of car sales. BYD surpassed Tesla as the world's largest EV maker for full-year 2025, though the two trade the quarterly top spot back and forth.

- Internet down: Google Cloud outage leaves websites including Lloyds Bank, Rightmove and DPD not working
A major internet outage appears to have taken down many websites and apps, including Lloyds Bank, HSBC, Screwfix, DPD and internet bank Revolut, according to Down Detector. At least some of the problems seem linked to Google Cloud, where Google confirmed issues with multiple services at its west Europe facilities and said there was no workaround. The article notes it is unclear whether all the disruptions are related. It also points out that cloud infrastructure providers such as Google Cloud, Cloudflare and Amazon Web Services are largely invisible yet support much of the internet, so an outage at one can knock out many seemingly unrelated services.
- BlackRock Files for 'Buffer' Bitcoin ETF as IBIT Draws $665M in a Day
BlackRock has filed with the SEC for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF (ticker PBIT), a 'buffer' fund that would limit initial losses to about 10% in exchange for capping gains. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, it would buy call options on IBIT or similar exposure, sell higher-priced calls to offset costs, use three overlapping monthly tranches, and hold fixed-income investments. The management fee has not been set. On the same day, IBIT was the only one of 12 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs to post net inflows, at $665.2 million, while the group's total net inflows were $526.6 million. The funds had shed about $910 million over the previous two weeks as hotter-than-expected inflation data revived bets on another Federal Reserve rate hike.
- The Best Trillion-Dollar Stock to Buy Right Now, According to Wall Street
According to the article, 13 U.S.-listed stocks have a market capitalization of at least $1 trillion, and analysts are most bullish on Micron, with a median target price of $1,575 per share, implying 70% upside from the current $925. Micron's results have surged amid a memory chip shortage driven by AI infrastructure demand: revenue in the September quarter rose 379% to $54 billion, and non-GAAP earnings reached $33.42 per diluted share, up from $3.03 a year earlier. The CEO expects tighter supply-demand conditions in fiscal 2027 and 2028. However, new capacity from Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix and others could lead to oversupply by 2029, and memory prices have historically fallen sharply in such periods. Some investors believe AI demand and longer contracts could weaken the boom-and-bust pattern, while others remain cautious.
- PNJ Shares 'Surge' Ahead of Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting
PNJ shares hit the daily ceiling of 19,750 dong ahead of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, with more than 4 million shares in unfilled buy orders at the ceiling price and matched volume above 16 million shares, worth over 315 billion dong. Foreign investors returned as net buyers of over 3.5 million shares after heavy selling. At the meeting, the company will present a restructuring plan following the diamond incident, including cutting this year's revenue target by about 20% to around 39,000 billion dong and setting aside over 7,071 billion dong in provisions, which would swing projected after-tax profit from 3,400 billion dong to a loss of 6,271 billion dong. It also proposes lowering last year's dividend payout from 20% to 10% and issuing up to 550 million shares privately. The stock has lost about 70% of its value since early July.
- Nvidia Stock Hasn’t Been This Cheap in 7 Years. Only 1 Explanation Makes Sense.
Nvidia's trailing P/E ratio is about 27, its lowest since June 2019 and less than half its 10-year average of 61.3, even though the share price has nearly tripled since Aswath Damodaran called the stock a bridge too far in early 2024. The article argues the only mathematical explanation is that earnings are growing faster than the share price, with second quarter fiscal 2027 revenue up 106% to $92.6 billion and earnings up 126%. Damodaran's 2024 valuation model assumed revenue growth of around 32% a year over five years, a pace Nvidia is now far exceeding. Risks noted include doubts about returns on huge AI infrastructure spending, local opposition to data centers, and rising competition from AMD and customers such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft. The author says Damodaran was badly wrong about Nvidia and suggests the trend could continue.
- Coteccons shifts growth focus as construction sector gains major rivals
Coteccons (CTD) views the entry of VinCons (Vingroup) and Tân Minh Nhân (Sun Group) as a force raising industry standards, and its chairman Bolat Duisenov prefers not to compare the company with other contractors. Instead, management focuses on three questions: how to become investors' first choice, how to attract and retain talent, and how to diversify revenue. In fiscal 2026, net revenue rose 38% to VND 34,340 billion and after-tax profit rose 73% to VND 788 billion, while backlog reached a record VND 70,000 billion. The company targets revenue of VND 42,000 billion and profit of VND 1,050 billion for fiscal 2027, although new contracts signed in Q1 of fiscal 2027 totaled VND 14,519 billion, down year on year, as it tightens client and project selection. Bolat said the company can sustain 20-30% growth in the coming years and is shifting its focus from volume to efficiency.
