- Stocktwits Zero To Sixty: Tesla And SpaceX Form Merger Committees As Profits Drop, While Rivian Buys AI Startup And GM, Ford Advance EV Plans
Elon Musk publicly endorsed a possible merger of Tesla and SpaceX, and both companies have formed special committees of independent directors to evaluate it, while Musk has recused himself from the talks due to conflicts of interest and discussions remain at an early stage. In the third quarter, Tesla reported revenue of $28 billion (below the $28.3 billion estimate) and adjusted EPS of $0.48 per share (above the expected $0.45), but both revenue and earnings declined from the same period in 2025. Capital expenditure rose 110% to $4.7 billion, while the full-year capex estimate was cut to $20 billion from $25 billion, and Tesla aims to begin delivering Cybercabs to external fleet customers by the end of 2026. Rivian acquired UK-based Third Dimension AI to support its driver-assistance and robotaxi software, while GM unveiled a fourth-generation EV platform using lithium manganese-rich prismatic cells with about 33% more energy density than lithium iron phosphate.
- How Accounting Helped Tesla Beat Gross Profit Numbers
- Tesla's Automotive Revenue Fell 3%, and Energy Generation and Storage Tumbled 16%. Should Investors Still View Tesla as a Car Company?
Tesla's second-quarter revenue fell 0.2% to $28 billion, with automotive revenue down 3% to $20.6 billion and energy generation and storage down 16% to $2.88 billion, while services grew 33% to $4.6 billion. The article argues Tesla is still a car company since vehicles make up nearly three-quarters of revenue, but its valuation, at a $1.5 trillion market cap and a price-to-earnings ratio of 200, reflects expectations for Optimus, FSD and AI. Investors are said to expect annual profit of at least $50 billion, compared with current annual revenue of about $120 billion. The author judges the stock unattractive at this point until Tesla proves it is more than a car company.
- TSLA Eyes Best Week In 2 Months — Analyst Sees Physical Tech's 'Berkshire,' But Bear Credits Court Ruling For Q3 Beat
Tesla (TSLA) shares fell 3% to $374.58 on Thursday but were still up 6% for the week, on track for their strongest weekly gain since late August. Tesla reported adjusted EPS of $0.48 versus a $0.45 consensus, while revenue of $28.05 billion came in below the expected $28.25 billion. GLJ Research argued the Q3 beat came from a Supreme Court tariff ruling rather than operations, cutting its adjusted EPS estimate to $0.38 versus $0.44 expected. Canaccord raised its target to $442 from $410 and kept a 'Buy' rating, while JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Mizuho, Cantor Fitzgerald and BNP Paribas also adjusted targets or ratings, with targets ranging from $410 to $485. Tesla has more than 1.7 million paid FSD customers globally, while its stock is down about 17% so far this year.
- TSLA Q3 deep dive: autonomy adoption and margin dynamics shape outlook
Tesla (TSLA) reported Q3 2026 revenue of $28.05 billion, in line with analyst expectations but flat year on year. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.48 beat consensus by 6.3%. Gross margin rose to 19.6% from 18%, while operating margin fell to 2.6% from 5.8%, and market capitalization stood at $1.53 trillion. Management attributed demand to growing FSD adoption, with over 75% of North American deliveries including a paid FSD sign-up, and to the highest vehicle backlog in four years. Operating expenses are expected to keep rising until Optimus, Megapack 3 and the Semi reach commercialization.
- Tesla's Profit Drops 43% as Musk Starts Building Robots and Plans to Sell Driverless Cabs
Tesla's third-quarter net income fell 43% to $787 million from a year earlier, as revenue held flat at $28.05 billion, operating profit dropped 56% to $718 million, and deliveries fell about 2%. Research spending rose 69% to $2.76 billion and capital expenditures more than doubled to $4.73 billion, aimed at humanoid robots and driverless taxis. Tesla has begun producing Optimus robots in Fremont, California, where Musk targets 20,000 a week but says that will take at least a year, with outside deliveries around the end of 2027. Tesla aims to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, though every one built so far goes to its own robotaxi fleet, no buyer or price has been named, and a federal safety audit is open. Musk also said the Tesla and SpaceX boards have formed committees to study a possible combination, but no terms have been agreed.

- Tanker carrying 43,000 tonnes of Russian oil sends very good news to US
A tanker carrying nearly 43,000 tonnes of ultra-low sulphur diesel left Russia's Primorsk port on October 22 and has repeatedly signalled New York as its destination, with arrival expected on November 7. If completed, it would be the first Russian refined fuel cargo to reach the US since imports nearly stopped after the Ukraine conflict began in 2022, though the signalled destination could change. The shipment comes about two weeks after Trump and Putin agreed to return Russian diesel to international markets, as Washington seeks more supply before the November 3 midterm elections amid rising fuel prices. The US Treasury granted a special licence allowing Russian diesel into the country until April next year, and Trump said Russia would release over 300,000 tonnes immediately, about 500,000 tonnes in November and 2 million tonnes later. Critics, including some lawmakers, argue the deal could give Moscow extra revenue during the Ukraine war and question whether the released volumes are large enough to significantly lower fuel prices.
- Franklin Templeton adds $150 million in fund shares to XRP Ledger, all in one wallet
Franklin Templeton added about $150 million worth of shares in its tokenized money market fund, sgBENJI, to the XRP Ledger, and all the new shares went to a single wallet. That wallet now holds nearly 193 million shares, up from about 48 million, worth roughly $200 million at the $1.039 share price recorded in the transactions. The wallet and Franklin's issuing account share the same eight signing addresses, and Franklin can approve, freeze or recover the fund's tokens on the network. It is unclear whether the wallet represents one investor or several clients, and as of Saturday morning Asia time Franklin had not responded to CoinDesk's questions. RWA.xyz ranks Franklin second among tokenized asset platforms on the XRP Ledger, behind Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin.
- Vietnam's production plant ranked world's second largest, featuring ultra-modern technology
The Sóc Sơn waste-to-energy plant in Hanoi began construction in August 2019, started receiving waste in May 2022, and was inaugurated in October 2025. With a daily intake capacity of 5,000 tons and power output of 90 MW/hour, it is described as the largest in Vietnam, the world's second largest after the Shenzhen plant in China, and the largest in Southeast Asia. The plant uses Belgian Waterleau mechanical grate incinerator technology, and heat from burning waste produces steam that drives turbines to generate electricity fed into the national grid. Under its environmental permit, the plant must halt relevant discharges if pollution, noise or vibration exceed limits, and must continuously transmit wastewater monitoring data to Hanoi's environmental authority. The article notes Hanoi generates about 7,600 tons of household waste daily and has buried over 30 million tons since 1999.
- Prime Minister Le Minh Hung requests at least a 30% further cut in public investment projects, concentrating capital on key projects with wide-reaching impact
Prime Minister Le Minh Hung said that in this term, the Central Government requires cutting public investment projects by at least 30% further, after the previous term saw about 5,000 projects nationwide, to concentrate resources on projects with broad impact. Investment efficiency should be assessed across the full project lifecycle, covering social benefits and contributions to infrastructure, living standards and social security, with priority for poverty reduction, support for ethnic minority and disadvantaged areas, national defense and security, health, education and culture. The draft amended public investment law proposes dropping the separate investment policy approval step for Group C projects, which made up over 60% of projects in the recent period, and integrating those contents into the investment decision step, while Group A, Group B and nationally important projects would still require that step. The Prime Minister also stressed the leading role of the central budget and that simplifying procedures must go hand in hand with strict control.
- Silver price down nearly 60% from peak
World silver prices fell about 5.4% over the past week and are down roughly 54% from their late-January 2026 peak, while Phú Quý silver prices in Vietnam are down nearly 60% from that peak. World silver traded around 53.8 USD/ounce on the morning of 24/10, while gold hovered near 3,995 USD/ounce after slipping below 4,000 USD/ounce. The sell-off was driven by investor concerns that escalating US-Iran tensions would push crude oil to multi-year highs, and by expectations that the Fed will keep monetary policy tight ahead of its FOMC meeting on 27-28/10 and the PCE inflation report on 29/10. BlackRock's iShares Silver Trust (SLV) bought a net over 14 tonnes of silver on 23/10 and now holds 15.5 thousand tonnes, worth 26.85 billion USD. According to Kitco News, silver also faces pressure from higher energy costs weighing on production demand.
- EVN's 2025 electricity production cost is nearly 2,093 VND per kWh
EVN reported total electricity production and business costs of 601,680 billion VND in 2025, equal to a unit cost of 2,092.7 VND per kWh on commercial output of 287.51 billion kWh, about 5% below the average retail price of 2,204.07 VND per kWh applied since 10/5/2025. Power generation accounted for nearly 83% of costs at 498,363 billion VND, followed by distribution and retail at 78,993 billion VND and transmission at over 22,141 billion VND. The article notes the gap does not directly reflect actual profit per kWh, since the average retail price dates from May while unit cost covers the full year. EVN has cleared its consolidated accumulated losses, though the parent company still carried a loss of about 5,611 billion VND, and in the first eight months revenue exceeded 482,000 billion VND with profit estimated at 12,215 billion VND. Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has directed that electricity prices not be raised in the final months of 2026.
