Elon Hype Works For One Business, Not The Other
About this episode
The episode discusses recent developments in prediction markets, SpaceX's IPO demand, Microsoft's security patches, Tesla's robotaxi fleet, and advancements in Siri AI.
The CFTC proposed prediction market rules banning bets on war and assassinations. SpaceX drew $250B+ in IPO demand far beyond its $75B target. Microsoft patched a record ~200 security flaws, Tesla has just 59 robotaxis, and Siri AI gets its first hands-on. Sources: the CFTC will propose new prediction market rules, banning bets it finds aren't in the public interest or that seem highly susceptible to manipulation (WSJ) Microsoft's June 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record nearly 200 security flaws, 33 rated Critical, as it and security researchers increasingly use AI to find bugs (Krebs on Security) Sources: SpaceX has drawn $250B+ of investor demand for what is poised to be the largest IPO to date, far beyond the $75B that SpaceX is aiming to raise (Reuters) Tesla has just 59 vehicles in its robotaxi fleet and is limited to three Texas cities after almost a year, nowhere close to Elon Musk's big promises (Bloomberg) Hands-on with Siri AI: successfully executed multistep prompts, understood context well, has strong guardrails, and seems a bit more dispassionate than Gemini (The Verge) Learn more about your ad choices.
