No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Reflection AI is preparing its first open-weight model after signing compute deals worth $150 million a month with SpaceX and over $1 billion with Nebius. Open weights leave the infrastructure and upkeep with the customer, so how the model deploys is the test buyers can run themselves.

Elon Musk says SpaceX will rename its AI unit from SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI to match Trump's preferred term, 'super intelligence'. The pledge came without a date or any disclosed contract or revenue showing the merged SpaceX-xAI business moving closer to Washington.

NASA's Crew-13 launched four crew Thursday on a Dragon due to dock at the space station 7 hours 50 minutes later, a U.S. record by NASA's account. NASA stated the record before the docking took place, so it holds only once the 7 p.m. arrival happens.

Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in the third quarter, about 24,500 more than analysts expected, almost all of them Model 3s and Model Ys. With US buyers pulling back, that volume now rests on Europe and China while Tesla's pitch moves to robotaxis and trucks.

Anthropic could start marketing its IPO the week of Nov. 9 at a valuation of $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion, Bloomberg reported. How much money it draws from other AI stocks before Thanksgiving depends on a share count the reports have not disclosed.

Bill Gross told investors to own no bonds except one-year Treasury bills at 4.55%, citing about $84 trillion of credit and federal debt at 100% of GDP. Holding only bills gives up the gain longer bonds would make in a slowdown, and Gross himself expects the debt to bring one.
Reality
SpaceX's Crew-13 Dragon reached the ISS 7 hours 55 minutes after launch, 6 hours 48 minutes under the previous crewed record. NASA credited luck in where the station sat, so docking-day plans should still assume the longer catch-up path.
Reality
Anthropic's IPO prospectus warns government attitudes could hurt its commercial customer ties, though agencies supply under 1% of its revenue. That puts nearly all the revenue behind a possible $2 trillion listing within reach of how Washington sees the company.

Google's first orbital TPU satellite can run its chips for only about 15 minutes before its radiators catch up, Ars Technica reports. Power is the easy part in orbit, so radiator area decides how many chips each satellite can carry.

Anthropic aims to start marketing its IPO by the week of Nov. 9, according to Bloomberg, with investors putting its value near $2 trillion. Teams building on Claude will soon be able to read the vendor's losses and spending plans in quarterly public filings.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave the Project Meridian study 120 days to report on what US forces need to fight future wars. Defense-tech vendors now have a report date to plan around, co-written by two executives whose companies already sell drones and satellites to the government.

ARK's Brett Winton says each Starship flight could add over $700 million of annual SpaceX revenue, a figure tied to ARK's $2.5 trillion 2030 valuation. At about $2.0 trillion, SPCX already trades at 80% of that target while AI contracts bring in close to $2.2 billion a month, more than launches earn.

AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile formed a company on Oct. 1 to pool some of their airwaves so ordinary phones can reach satellites beyond tower range. Analysts read it as a defense against SpaceX, while a driver who loses signal on a back road this week has the same options as before.

Google's orbital compute paper needs Starship to lift 370,000 tons to reach $200-a-kilogram launches, about 180 flights a year for a decade. Its first TPU in orbit will run in 15-minute bursts while Google tests whether a satellite can supply a kilowatt of steady power and keep the chip cool.

T-Mobile cut "with Starlink" from its T-Satellite homepage in the week it, AT&T and Verizon launched a joint venture to pool satellite spectrum. The satellites behind the service are still SpaceX's, under a US exclusivity T-Mobile's CEO says lasts beyond this year.

NASA's Crew-12, four astronauts from NASA, ESA and Roscosmos, is due back from the space station in early October. The agency's look back sets out what the crew's experiments in drug crystallisation, bone repair and quantum physics were built to test.
Reality
Anthropic pays SpaceX $1.25 billion a month for compute through May 2029 on terms either side can end with 90 days' notice. That notice period covers about $3.75 billion of the roughly $45 billion the contract is worth if it runs to term.

Anthropic could start marketing its IPO the week of Nov. 9, a month later than planned, at a value investors put at $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion. Companies that build on its models would then rely on a supplier whose losses and price are debated in public.

United Airlines is giving Delta and American elite flyers 90 days of matching status, kept through January 2028 only if they spend $1,500 to $7,000 on United. United pays for those 90 days of elite perks up front and collects only from flyers who move real spending.

SEC complaints say advisors sold retail investors phantom pre-IPO stakes in SpaceX, OpenAI and others, taking over $8.7 million from 35 people in one case. In that case, the SEC says, more than half the money raised for pre-IPO deals never reached them.
