Oracle’s Huge Bond Sale, Musk Eyes SpaceX and xAI Combo

The podcast delivers current tech news, focusing on market trends, individual stock performance, and upcoming economic factors. Disney's shares are down due to a tepid growth outlook, despite strong streaming numbers, with concerns about international park attendance and a pending CEO succession vote. The U.S. aims to reduce reliance on Chinese rare earths by establishing a $12 billion stockpile. The AI sector faces scrutiny regarding ROI, productivity gains, and potential capital misallocation, while Tesla's European sales decline. Elon Musk is reportedly in talks to combine SpaceX with xAI. Oracle plans to raise $45 to $50 billion for AI infrastructure, and Nvidia is reassessing its investment in OpenAI. Bitcoin's weekend sell-off impacts crypto exchanges, and Palantir's shares are not rallying before earnings.
