Elon Musk says Tesla’s biggest medium-term risk may not come from competitors, demand or even regulation. Speaking during Tesla’s latest earnings call, Musk says Tesla currently holds a decisive advantage in AI efficiency, particularly in how its systems handle memory and logic. According to Musk, the advantage puts Tesla in a strong position today, but it does not eliminate future vulnerability. “I actually think Tesla is ahead of the rest of the world in intelligence density of AI by an order of magnitude or more. This is going to sound like a pretty bold statement, but I know what the intelligence…
A top Wall Street tech analyst says investor frustration around one Mag 7 name is masking what he sees as one of the strongest growth setups among the mega-cap tech names this year. Speaking in a new CNBC interview, Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A.

That’s probably the only place where I see people picking on it… Most importantly, let’s not forget, Google Cloud,…

Q.AI has patents showing that its technology is being used in headphones or glasses to analyze “facial micro skin movements” to communicate without speaking. Apple can integrate the tech’s ability to understand “silent speech” into wearables like glasses or headphones, allowing users to communicate…

Tesla’s (TSLA) valuation continues to defy traditional earnings-based frameworks, and banking giant Barclays says investors should not expect the dynamic to change soon. In a new CNBC interview, Barclays senior US autos and mobility analyst Dan Levy says Tesla now occupies a rare position in global equity markets, combining a massive market capitalization with valuation multiples that would normally be unsustainable for most companies. “Tesla is one of two companies in the world that’s a $100 billion-plus valuation, but also trades at 150 times forward earnings or more. And so there is this recognition that clearly the market is pushing…

Meta’s (META) AI strategy is beginning to pay dividends as the company achieves a rare feat in digital advertising, according to Futurum strategist Shay Boloor. In a new post on X, the chief market strategist at the technology insights firm says Meta’s ad volume and ad pricing are rising at the same time.

Billionaire venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya believes that a merger between two of Elon Musk’s high-profile tech firms could give birth to a modern version of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports that SpaceX has discussed the feasibility of a tie-up with Tesla, an idea that some investors have actively pushed. Separately, Musk has also explored a potential combination between SpaceX and xAI ahead of a possible initial public offering for the AI company. The discussions are described as preliminary, with no final decisions made. The people say details could change, and the companies could…
Billionaire “Bond King” Jeffrey Gundlach says strong headline GDP numbers are obscuring growing stress beneath the surface of the US economy. Speaking in a new CNBC interview, the DoubleLine Capital founder warns that headline growth is being driven by narrow pockets of activity, while large parts of the population face very different economic realities. Gundlach says recent GDP strength is concentrated in two areas: AI-driven business investment and high-end consumer spending, creating a widening gap between aggregate data and lived experience. “We look at GDP, and it looks great. But it’s pockets that are doing that. It’s a lot of…
