Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire, who has a disclosed financial interest in SpaceX (SPCX), projects revenue could reach $731.1 billion by 2028, up from $51.5 billion in 2026 and $273.8 billion in 2027. His 2028 forecast includes $569 billion from ground-based AI computing, $64.7 billion from Starlink and $23.9 billion from Direct to Cell, and he calls it a 25th-50th percentile estimate with considerable uncertainty. New Street Research suggests SpaceX could use 2,000-10,000 small computing sites linked by Starlink, combining Nvidia hardware with Tesla batteries, but says pace of deployment is the real constraint. Tesla investor Alexandra Merz modeled a hypothetical Tesla-SpaceX merger: at three SpaceX shares per Tesla share, each Tesla share would be worth $443, a 19% premium to Tesla's October 20 close of $373.71. At a four-for-one ratio, former Tesla shareholders would own 51.4% of the combined company, while Musk would hold a 33.2% economic stake and 73.7% of voting power.

- Elon Musk Says Merging SpaceX and Tesla Would Be a Good Idea. Here's What Investors Should Know.
Elon Musk has backed a potential merger of Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA), and both companies have formed special committees to explore it, though no terms have been agreed and shareholder approval would be required. The rationale is that Tesla is expanding into AI, robotics and energy while SpaceX moves into AI computing infrastructure, with possible benefits including shared chip development for the Terafab project, robotics, energy storage supporting computing facilities, and satellite connectivity. The article stresses these are potential synergies rather than guaranteed profits, and the deal must create more value than partnerships would. Risks include agreeing a fair share split, governance concerns because Musk has interests in both firms and will not join committee discussions, and more complex capital allocation. Investors are watching whether the merger creates benefits the companies cannot achieve separately and whether the terms are fair to both groups of shareholders.
- 'The world's super company': Wall Street weighs SpaceX earnings, company's likely Tesla tie-up
Wall Street analysts are weighing SpaceX (SPCX) as a potentially giant company, especially with a possible tie-up with Tesla (TSLA). Elon Musk, CEO of both firms, projects SpaceX's annual recurring revenue by end-2027 at between 500 billion USD and 1 trillion USD. Its booming AI compute business has fueled bets that SpaceX could become a fifth hyperscaler alongside Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon. RBC Capital Markets says Tesla's planned Terafab chip production is a way to bypass Nvidia and TSMC, while Canaccord Genuity raised its Tesla price target to 442 USD from 410 USD on a merger-based view. JPMorgan more than doubled its SpaceX price target to 500 USD, with shares trading at 146 USD on Friday.
- Elon Musk Eyes SpaceX-Tesla Merger, Huang Pitches ‘Financeable’ Chips, Zuckerberg Wants More Compute: Mag 7 Voices This Week
Elon Musk said a SpaceX–Tesla merger would be “a good idea,” but called a deal uncertain, as both companies’ boards have formed special committees that have not agreed on any terms. In SpaceX’s Q3 results, its Super Intelligence segment generated $7.6 billion in revenue, surpassing Starlink as its largest business. Musk said the main constraint on AI deployment is power, cooling and infrastructure rather than chips, and SpaceX plans to add about 20 gigawatts of capacity by the end of 2027, while some gas-turbine components face 12 to 18 month delays. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang said its computing hardware should become a “financeable asset,” estimating that a one-gigawatt AI factory costs about $50 billion and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue. Wedbush said his comments on neocloud financing helped spark Thursday’s selloff.
- A SpaceX-Tesla megamerger could benefit both companies and Elon Musk's personal fortune
SpaceX shares rose 8% and Tesla 3.5% after Elon Musk said each company had formed special committees to discuss a possible combination. At current market values, the merged company would be worth about $3.5 trillion, the largest deal ever, and Musk argues it makes sense because both businesses rely heavily on artificial intelligence. Musk owns 11% of SpaceX and 19% of Tesla, and a change-in-control provision in Tesla's pay plan could treat many performance targets as met in a merger, which would make him richer. Although the shares are very expensive by most measures, most analysts still call them a bargain, and many work for banks hoping to win Musk's business. Democrats have called for investigations into SpaceX's federal contracts and could scuttle plans if they win big in next month's midterm elections.
- How a SpaceX and Tesla Merger Would Reshape Musk’s AI Empire
Elon Musk said on Tuesday that the boards of SpaceX and Tesla have each formed special committees of independent directors to study a merger, though no terms have been agreed. A combined company valued at roughly $3.5 trillion would own the Grok chatbot, X, Starlink, the Terafab chip project, the Starmind orbital data center plan, and Tesla’s robotaxi and Optimus robot businesses. Any deal needs the support of 50% of all outstanding Tesla shares, which Musk called “quite a high hurdle,” and Tesla’s annual meeting is set for December 3. SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue of $14.58 billion, above the $12.72 billion analysts expected, and its first quarterly profit since going public, largely from renting computing power to firms such as Anthropic and Google. Musk stressed that a merger is not certain, and SpaceX’s IPO paperwork warned that orbital AI computing relies on “unproven technologies.”
- Elon Musk backs SpaceX-Tesla merger as rocket firm turns profit
Elon Musk said he would back a possible merger of SpaceX and Tesla, calling it “a good idea,” while stressing that special committees at both companies have not agreed on terms and that a deal is not guaranteed. SpaceX reported net income of $4.4 billion for July–September, compared with a $1.1 billion loss a year earlier, as revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion. The growth was driven by its AI unit, now called “Super Intelligence,” whose revenue rose more than ninefold to $7.6 billion on cloud computing deals with Anthropic and Google. Capital spending remains heavy, with $19.6 billion invested in the quarter and computing capacity reaching 1.7 gigawatts. Starlink revenue grew 69% to $5.2 billion, though average monthly revenue per consumer fell to $69 from $83.

- 1 Reason Compass Pathways Is Worth a Second Look This Month
Compass Pathways (CMPS) is developing COMP360, a synthetic psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, and plans to complete its FDA application by the end of the year, which could set up an approval decision in early 2027. After positive results in two Phase 3 trials, the FDA awarded COMP360 a Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV), which could shorten the review period to one or two months after filing. In 52-week results from the COMP005 trial, 40% to 45% of patients in the open-label extension saw at least a 50% reduction in depression symptoms, and about 30% achieved remission. With shares trading around $12, the average analyst price target of $23.75 implies about 95% upside. The article notes that approval is not guaranteed and that commercial adoption will depend partly on insurance reimbursement and the availability of treatment centers.

Snap reports on Nov. 4 with revenue expected to rise 15% to $1.73 billion, after Alphabet and Reddit gave mixed signals on the ad market.
- Many people send money to hackers asking for a cut of the Binance theft
Wallets holding 18,270 bitcoin stolen from Binance keep receiving small transfers from strangers with messages asking for a share, though none of these messages has drawn a reply. The senders have spent about $46 in BTC on them, excluding transaction fees. Others urged the hacker not to return funds to Changpeng Zhao or to accept deals with white hat researchers, while some used the attention to promote their own tokens. As of Nov 1, the attacker had begun swapping 970,522 stolen SOL, worth about $96 million, into bitcoin, and the breach is estimated at about $6.3 billion, with roughly $2.7 billion frozen by token issuers and partners. Binance says it has covered about 95% of the stolen value and is processing withdrawals in stages, but it has not published a full technical report, and US authorities have linked the group to North Korea.

- European shares inch lower as Fitch cuts France’s outlook
The pan-European STOXX 600 fell 0.3% on Monday as markets digested Fitch's revision of France's sovereign outlook to negative from stable, citing weaker public finances and political gridlock. Brent crude dropped 3.3% to $109.70 a barrel after a 13.6% rise in October, though risk premiums stay elevated due to ongoing strikes on commercial tankers in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. Germany's DAX was flat, London's FTSE 100 fell 0.3%, Spain's IBEX 35 rose 0.6% and Italy's FTSE MIB slipped 0.9%. Fitch pointed to slower growth, higher borrowing costs and a widening deficit, keeping France's 10-year yield spread over Bunds historically wide. Separately, Apple reclaimed its position as the world's most valuable listed company, edging past Nvidia, as investors grew wary of AI spending ahead of its earnings call, the first hosted by CEO John Ternus.
